We're putting him down tomorrow morning.

The more I think about him, the harder it is for me to call him anything other than my best friend.

Jury duty starting Monday and I don't want to go. Not because I have any problem with the idea of jury duty (other than perhaps thinking I'm a little too young and too unexperienced to properly sit in judgement of someone or something) but mostly because its for three weeks. Ugh. Also I know I am not supposed to be thinking of this but I will be seriously putting my boss out and it makes me feel bad.

As long as you're part of that community at all and that you remain intellectually honest, I don't think age and experience need be factors. In fact, I don't think anyone is old or experienced enough to sit in judgement; we just do what we must because this is the best system we have. That you don't think you belong there probably makes you uniquely qualified for the task.

What are the odds of me getting four flat tires in the space of a month?

IT KEEPS HAPPENING

Jesus Buge, you should stop using tires made of BROKEN GLASS.

Or clean out your tires and invest in some tire liners.

Well, I mean clean your tires because if a bit of glass or something has gotten inside the tire itself, then of course you'll have continuous blowouts. Old tires can pinch tubes if the tire is torn or hole-y too.

Tire liners means something like this: http://www.mec.ca/AST/ShopMEC/Cycling/TiresTubesWheels/Tubes/PRD~4001-640/mr.-tuffy-bicycle-tire-liners-26-x-1.95-2.5.jsp

Not really the worst thing in the world, but man, I am so flatulent today that not only have I gassed myself, my office chair reeks of it and I have to work in a miasma of self-self generated funk even when I'm not farting.

WHAT DID I EAT?!

It was pretty much this. The tire was old, thinning, and had teensy chips of glass stuck in it. I had to get it replaced with the tube.

I wish I'd known the first time this happened, so I could have replaced it before it popped a second tube.

Generally, tires like that (instant-seal-stuff inside!) rarely work as advertised.

Have to start a new overnight schedule tonight, so I napped mid-day yesterday and stayed up all night to try to adjust.

And then woke up after three hours of sleep.

This is going to be a fun night!

So I went to Montréal with my mother yesterday, so she could pass some tests and maybe get a better job or something like that. She coulda gone by herself, but she convinced me she felt safer with me along and so on and so forth.

At lunchtime the examiners call a break, and we leave the Palais des Congrès to look for a place to eat. Now the Palais is Downtown Montréal, specifically in a corner of the Chinese quarter. Right in front of us as we get outside is a pedestrian alley literally lined with dozens of small restaurants without a chain in sight.

Mom says: "I don't see a McDonald's from here, let's walk around and keep our eyes open, there has to be one nearby."

I quickly put my foot down. We are in the heart of the Ville de Montréal, renowned throughout the world for the quality and variety of its cuisine, there are hundreds of restaurants of all types within 15 minutes' walk, we are definitely not eating god damned Bic Macs. I talk her into checking out the Chinese quarter and trying something new. A few minutes later I don't remember what our conversation drifted to, because I'm fairly sure my spirit left my body when I heard her utter the word "cat".

Long story short, we had boxed juice and energy bars in the underground parking garage. Still better than clown feed.

When we got back home she bought me dinner at a restaurant she's know for years. I had some trout. It was overcooked. The vegetables had been frozen at some recent point.

Jesus Christ I would go back in time and mess up the fuckers who put the Fear of New in that woman.

I suffer under similar circumstances. I can't cook a meal around here without someone turning a nose up at something.

Found out the tea party tomorrow I'd been looking forward to for weeks is being canceled, then drove downtown for a festival I didn't care about attending to meet a friend who didn't answer her phone for 20 minutes so I went home, then found out my other friend I had plans with for today had to cancel due to gym and work.

The hot water for the build has been shut off for a few hours a couple time previously.

But this is the first time ALL the water's been shut off. THANKS FOR THE WARNING, ASSHOLES.
