jump on the bus as he’s gunnin’ the wheel
this is how you make friends in a small town.
you’re welcome and good luck. remind me to tell you about almost falling off a cliff off the side of a dirt path and down a steep hill riddled with shrubs brush rocks and trees. oh guess i just did. wicked.
so read this as COME SPOTS WONT COME OUT ahaha sick. that white residue on the rod is from duct tape, a failed attempt to thwart fil from sliding all his shit over to my side of the closet. total bone of contention between us. i have to empty threaten him with my famous i’ll do something you won’t like if you don’t stop doing that line constantly. well lately all i’ve been doing is hanging up more of my stuff to fill up the empty spaces.
when the hell else can i wear this thing other than xmas time?
bjork story time. i’ll keep it short. when i was 18 and lived in maine i had my own radio show (it was volunteer and a brand new station) called there’s something about raymi (hahah shut up) and my blog was linked on the station’s website for a few days until they realised the content and overall nature of it but that was just enough time for my listeners to find and bookmark it (in hindsight i should have just plugged it on air during every show)(i also have a couple recordings of the show that makes me crazy embarrassed magenta in the face as i sound uber young yet really reserved and shy, kinda endearing i guess ugh. i talked about canada a lot) anyway on my blog at the time i had an amazon wishlist and this bjork vespertine album was one of the items i wanted so one of my fans bought it (from a music store, not off the wishlist) and left it at the radio station for me, cute eh? someone else also bought me a hello kitty dayplanner with an electronic digital thing on the face. ok that is the story of this cd which clearly i still have. the person said when i listen to it i should think of rockland, maine (where i lived) and i do.
on our way southwest i remember feeling v happy in the car. i was about to share that tidbit with fil but then someone cut us off on the highway and my heart started fluttering, then i forgot to tell him hey fil I WAS EXTREMELY HAPPY IN THE CAR WITH YOU WITH THE SUN BEATING DOWN ON US AND THE WIND IN OUR HAIR.
magic hour.
dinner is served.
interesting thing to say about brown. at smarties i bet they were like, nostalgic, run it! any americans out there like smarties, can you get them there? i thought they were invented in canada, not true, but are so prevalent here because Nestlé’s largest production facility for Smarties is in Canada, read more about it on wikipedia. i think i like them more than m&m’s cos of the british similarity in chocolate flavour which in my opinion cannot be beat.
left these behind at sean’s haha burn. on our way back from the catskills we bought pepperoni cheese pizza flavoured combos. my review, um, fat. the first ten are good but after that you just hate yourself more and more and are somewhat sickened yet can’t stop cos you’re starving.
i peeled the nutrition facts sticker off and it revealed the fat amount used to be 5g per a smaller portion. liars.
crazy wind saturday, huh?
made it to town to spy on the street party but had to detour around it as sean’s house was on the other side.
recognized some of these faces at the beer tent later on that evening. rugged phil’s band played (amazing too) like 50 alice in chains songs. i bet fil’s layne staley tattoo was throbbing. anyway that girl in the foreground is the gf of one of birdman’s nephews. birdman was like that’s my nephew, talk to him and that’s his gf. i said dude no way that kid wants to talk to me, his gf is miles out of his league (puberty-wise) kid cannot even acknowledge another girl til he gets dumped. true fact sorry. cute guy anyway. all them 15 yr olds snuck into the beer tent. nice.
backyard whimsy.
grapefruit snacking.
where we crashed.
ok that’s all for now the sun is calling me.
Combos make me think of NASCAR for some reason. Therefore, they make the perfect Sunday afternoon snack (barf!)
In the U.S. Smarties are like Rockets I think. That photo of the mirror reminds me of The Ring.
A question if you don’t mind:
Do you trim your own hair?
yes why are you anonymous
i don’t know what rockets are but american smarties are pretty much all sugar. no chocolate involved, and they definitely don’t come in brown.
ok that is nothing alike at all.
apparently they are america’s favorite candies, according to them. they are always thrown out at parades and put in pinatas and given out on halloween, but i’ve never seen anyone buy them just to eat them.
oh yeah meant to include the link: http://www.smarties.com/
ok not at all the same thing
smarties are chocolates, like a richer tasting answer to m&m’s

can you get boxes of them in the states?
can’t believe i’m plugging this shit for free http://showyourcolours.ca/
No big reason. I put my e-mail address in there this time.
(I am just contemplating my split ends and have long hair and don’t really feel like spending 40 bucks for a cut)
Anyway!
oh ok just checking – my hair gets many attacks. totally do it yourself, save the coin. simple, brush it down the middle (separate, make a part) eye it to where you want it trimmed the cut away. i’m sure there are hair trim video tutorials on youtube. actually i put one up myself haha one sec.
holy shit some chick ripped off my vid and put it on her own profile AND she removed my sound and didn’t link to me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6RqoOqkjEw
black smarties are pretty neato
ive only seen like 3 of them WTF
Excellent. I will do it myself, one of these days.
i miss smarties since moving to america. didn’t realise you could get them in canada – another excellent reason to journey northwards one of these days
do the orange ones taste like orange like they do in england??
they all taste exactly the same
A propos of nothing, and a complete threadjack at that, I just found out that Dash Snow, a NYC artist died. He used to do tons of stuff in Vice Magazine, which I think was your thing, Raymi. Sad.
yeah i saw that earlier today. rough yeah indeed.
Good article in NY Mag about him a few years ago.

I trim my own hair too. It’s a fun activity to do while one is semi-watching a movie. Why do people steal other people’s Youtube videos? Lame-o!
COMBOS, lollerskates!
My boyfriend has, like, “OPINIONS” on Combos, he read your post before I did and was like “yeah, I saw that, those aren’t the best Combos” and then retracted his statement when you mentioned the pizza-flavored ones. He’s a binge-snack-eater, though, and he really really relates when you talk about onion dip.
End of “My Boyfriend/Raymi’s Snack Habits” wine-induced-stream-of-conciousness.
My sister saw you walking somewhere in the Annex day before yesterday I think, near Fresh? true story.
what was i wearing eve?
and yumW oh man onion dip, i have absolutely no willpower when it comes to it. if you want to sabotage me have a big tub of it at your party when i come over, i don’t even need to smoke a dewber to eat the entire thing. so he likes the pizza combos more?
bodie there’s some good retrospectives on http://streetbonersandtvcarnage.com

i really like the last picture
i was looking in my friend’s facebook photos and found the perfect example of the average bachelorette party & how it differs from what males do:
http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs106.snc1/4783_1172663949600_1018062346_539614_4127645_n.jpg
exactly. since i wrote that post so many things have been popping up. last nite confessions of a gogo girl movie was on (think it was a made for tv movie) and at the end she does a bachelor party and it gets ugly.
I asked her & she wasn’t sure. She thought leggings. Was it you?
it’s possible but maybe not me as a couple days ago (now three) i don’t think i was on bloor. could be wrong though.
