so things have been insane. we are getting married on may 5th at the great hall of champlain college at trent university (a beautiful example of 60s architecture), and this week is the week where all the things that should have been done in the last six months are supposed to get done. like booking a dj, officiant, finding a non-denominational church, figuring out a colour scheme, invitations/guestlist, finding a fucking dress--which by the way takes a minimum of 12-14 weeks as i was told by the snobby bridal shop lady. and everything is so expensive!

anyways, besides that i've been attempting to spend gift card money at the crap that is abercrombie and fitch. who the hell would buy that shit? so far, i've settled on track pants. but it's hard to spend $80 on track pants even if it is gift card money. brock's mom went insane and got all of his gifts from there, and the guy won't touch the stuff (it is too ugly and immature). i traded my futureshop card with him, but i'm starting to regret the decision.

i also picked up bloodletting and miraculous cures last week, which was a good book. it wasn't blow-your-mind great or anything, but it was a good read. i can see why it won the Giller Prize. it also provides fascinating information about SARS and the Canadian healthcare system. i'm currently reading das parfum.

we went and saw children of men on friday and it was awesome.

so is lego star wars II.
