birthgay eve
i left the toilet seat up just for you.
yesterday’s outfit was brought to you by WASN’T THINKING. feh. i had those tights BEFORE feist and i would give them up in a heartbeat for five solid minutes of forced eye contact with her while she sings me a song. side note: yet another “article” about hipsters (and they’re talking about me in the comments hahahahahhahahaha) has been scribed and everyone is bashing the shit out of it/them (seriously who cares?) but anyway here is a joke my intelligent bipolar brain just invented: Q: what does a hipster fear most? A: eye contact.
ponytail day two sans shower, new skid on the block.
my infinitieth grey cardigan. the reason this is a bonehead outfit is because it’s a tight highwaisted skirt that rests on my torso exactly where the tights hike up to and then we are left with sausage stomach, even if you look skinny you do not feel it. oh my god how interesting is my body dysmorphia right now you guys!!!?
ok one more to showcase my tiny ponytail head.
then to kilgour’s to pre-eat/drink with just a couple of regular guys. also kz was there hiding up against the wall.
then to tranzac (hilar hilar place every single funny joke i have about tranzac is canceling each another out TOO MUCH, love/hate/love/hate/hate that place) to see human highway which kind of put me to sleep but the music is very nice, the magic opened for them with a very spiral beachy thing going on, very much liked them but we weren’t ripped enough to dance. during human highway the room was silent, way to go toronto you never fail to unimpress with your stoic pretentiousness. i am glad i clapped at the wrong time at the part of the what i thought was finally the end of a song, too many annoying pretentious silences in your songs equals ME CLAPPING COS I THINK IT’S OVER AND IT SHOULD BE.
this is alicia and i on the phone, what are you wearing tonite? NO IDEA. ok me i’m going for trying but not trying and i didn’t shower.
look at my wrinkled skirt what a winner ahh.
steve’s in town from skid bay, he is a v old time friend of fil’s (also had long hair back then hahaha), do you have a friend who would fly in specially for your birthday? i don’t. fuck i hate myself now thanks steve.
alicia is poo pooing my tights? my knees? my AWESOME more like.
i know you love this pose, and that chick to the left with arms crossed TALKED A LOT AND LOUDLY and yet somehow we were more annoying? sorry not buying it. wait til you see a picture of what her friend was wearing. last nite i learned that i officially hate young people, yes, a milestone has passed.
thanks for the beads jolisha.
oh right a band was playing.
guy on the far left was my favourite cos he looks like my dad when dad played bass in his high school band SWEED. they wanted to be called WEED but couldn’t cos they exclusively played churches and schools. HAHA. i’ll dig up those pics again soon if you remind me to.
ok SEE that nightgown back there. go ahead, defend it, you have one chance. also there was a girl in an AA rainbow striped tank thing with a belt and fake spectacles, i rolled my eyes so much last nite i almost set off the fire alarm.
singer/keys guys is so tiny and lovely and has a phenom voice.
birthday tradition, i brought fil to the green room four years ago today for his first time, what a classy benefactor i am right? (before that we saw emily haines at church of the redeemer and fell asleep in the pew during it) for the smart people reading/looking at photographs, his fingers represent his new age.
steve (snow hair) was there for it too, ok i will get the post and link it and you can see how bad my hair was and chunky i was getting.
we did not tip our waitress last nite because she lied about me placing an order for nachos, i specifically said muchos nachos and pointed at the menu, so we waited half an hour (normally they show within what, 5 minutes?) so steve goes and says did my friend order and she says no she didn’t. LIAR. nachos were my ulterior motive for goin’ there in the first place cos we were all cocked enough. NO TIP FOR YOU if you would have just admitted to forgetting to place the order you would have been tipped, easy. (if you give me grief about this i will shut you down, we are always ALWAYS gracious tippers so shut it).
another important and totally interesting fact: we bring in this mat during winter. i must be drunk still.
fil reveals his new specs that I CHOSE.
solar power up, i am insecure over whether he really likes it or not, i think he is just pretending and until he writes a sonnet about his solar powered mason jar light i will not believe him.
this morning, lookin’ good Z.
ok time to paint that cat in finally.
Jim Guthrie (half of Human Highway) is boss.
no comment
rolled my eyes so much last nite i almost set off the fire alarm.
AHAHAHAHAHAA
also i am still loving the pony t
I fucking love you bitch!U make me miss TO….I’m in Thailand pretending that Christmas doesn’t exist. Awesome jar by the way.
aw thanks and thanks
jager is a roller coaster of gut rot.
the only reason to drink it is because you are already drunk.
yes, i choose goldschlager instead or vodka, ugh it’s too early to talk about alcohol.
god why hasn’t anyone asked us to be models already?
actually… there was this guy once that said i should be a model. and actually now that i think of it, you have modelled also.. so that comment was me being sarcastic?
i love the tranzac by the way and thank you for linking to the magic myspace. door to door! door to door!
why can’t there be a zoolander sequel?
Do you have battery heated tights? Wearing a skirt in winter in Toronto seems nutso.
That NOW article just proves even more that the magazine is run by either dweebs or out of touch old people
ok- she could ALMOST get away with the nightgown if she were bloated/preggers/dressed in the dark but is she seriously wearing pants & sneakers under it?
ps- what the hell is a solar powered mason jar?
I love those leopard print sheenaesque tights. But worry that after a certain age people might think it’s age spots and not junglewear.
happy 7th birthday fil!
HI I’M COMMENTING cause you rule.
I bought tights today: one pair “crocheted” tights and one pair “sweater” tights, both of which I’m excited about because that means I can wear denim skirts over tights and be totally warm in California Winter (50 degree temps with rain). Which means I can also wear granny underwear and nobody notices.
Scoresies.
Dear Raymi, what’s it like being a hipster?
does all this hipster bashing mean people in will actually stop trying so desperately hard to be something their not? God I hope so.
mike, i would not know or care, i have always been cool, as times change there are different terms for the same people doing the same things. there are poseurs and then there are legitimate winners.
i see a g in the title of the post. rule broken.
i can’t quit it yet not ready, i’m weaning myself off, you are the first to make notice of it out loud at least.
Alicia is pretty.
happy birthday fil looks like you guys are havin a fun holiday
