even though i love cooking and being in the kitchen it just gives me way too much time to think and i think about all the things i’m not doing while chopping and simmering i start to feel pregnant and ugly, forgotten. total late-twenties losing it much hahaah.

i love that there is a picture of a meth addict face dude on this. i cannot fucking stand the auto tune of it either, brosz7 used to play it all the time and i’d be dying inside. hating it. not funny. not once. auto-tune anything, why ruin good songs? borderline good songs. that’s not music. it is garbage noise to the soundtrack of bad jokes and memes. guh.

i cheated. had some of those. not a lot. and some cheap easter chocolates from metro so good. already fantasizing about more. i also rain manned the plu (sku?) for it just by skimming the numbers thinking they might need me to remember that number nah prob have a sheet up there. 16143 something like that i remembered (am wrong) teacher went to get it and i had only the last two numbers reversed. i became very egotistical after that.

happy tuesday c u later.

i’m going to see how many times i can blog today before i have to GTFO of here

remember down there i was talking about alyssa? check her out!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592208981/

here is my slaw. mixed beans, yellow pepper (i used the slap chop, a student of teacher’s gave it to him haha) sweet onion minced, dried cranberries and an orange.

yesterday saw a wide and varying selection of faces.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592209325/in/photostream/

fuck these are boring. domesticity is sweetly boring. if i could just go on dates in supermarkets and then make salads drink wine and then couch surf. not bad. boring for blogs though. teacher read my post yesterday. he knows what’s up, hates it, tolerates it but, yeah. i haven’t had time to serial date lately, just time to threaten it only.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592209463/in/photostream/

it’s like some backward voodoo he’s hoping. i will settle on him and pick him once and for all. i dunno. i am just lost. no i’m not lost that is just an excuse, i’m just hyper me-focused right now, i gotta be, it’s hard to do though because i like to just float and see how that fares me. we have a great time but we are also learning each other. it’s too soon to tell him all the things that irritate me about him and as if he can get away with telling me all my annoying traits without me blowing a tsunami gasket so i feel for the guy.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592209591/in/photostream/

wow, face really? anyway don’t feel too bad for him cos he gets private shows. last night he met anja, based on my 16 year old partner in crime from latvia. teacher likes anja a lot. i put on beirut, my blue dress and mary janes and it was quite acrobatic, more cardio for me as well two birds one stoner, i have a re-test this friday.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592209681/in/photostream/

i’m a little sore right now from yesterday’s work out. all of them haha.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592801830/in/photostream/

anyway there’s plenty leftovers. i am serious about staying whippet slick thin and my next beauty obsession will be my face and caring for it unlike i’ve not been doing for a decade, passing out in my cake makeup. i have such great skin i want to keep it that way and make it glow.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592801976/in/photostream/

such a beautiful salad. could throw it in a wrap with tofu or meat. total summer salad.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592210157/in/photostream/

i like this idea for a ceiling. i might do it in a nursery except pale pale baby blue and tiniest rainbow stencil sprinkle explosions in random places. aren’t i a darling?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592802168/in/photostream/

except i look terribly tired here, my eye would not stop gushing. there is always something no? i bought discount reactine (allergy meds are so expensive!) from shoppers, popped one before i went out. yesterday my eye was tearing up before i even left adventurehouse. balls.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592210381/in/photostream/

post work out sweaty. andrew gave me extra cardio. yesterday was a bit rough but i troopered through. the first day working out after a week long bender kind of scares you. will my heart explode today well lets see. i prepared myself doing light weights all weekend long. tricep raises i forget the name of it but i did some in front of teacher and told him remember those things i was doing well i did them again except with 20lb weights. in each hand. very different than 4lbs. haha.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592210483/in/photostream/

but now i am very happy the benders are over. i did not miss feeling that horrible in the morning pre-training like an internally blubbery gross boozebag, no thanks. i am attracted to health and wellness now only. i will be doing a cleanse mid-month even maybe. it will align with the full moon apparently. people are wary of using me as a test subject because i am racy and i dunno, a lot of people cockblock me business-wise they’re like oh that raymi, i dunno dude BE CAREFUL which is bullcrap as the people with similar clients or work in such and such industry, i see them out partying at night all the time, we run in the same circle, industries, you name it. the hypocrisy in this town is retarded. anyway, regardless of reputations, i stand by my duties, i am accountable and trustworthy. if i say i am going to do something i do it. i hate losing too. so i don’t. for example, co-hosting the japan benefit sunday night with stew, i didn’t bail despite the ridiculosity of my week. the attendance was greatish for awhile there but then petered out nearing the end. anyway, i found it ironic how rain kept everyone indoors (my cab driver told me that everyplace was dead this night) that more people couldn’t be bothered to come out and support people who died and are misplaced because of rain (more or less, well more actually but you get my point) because of rain, in our safe tsunami-free city. right?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592802414/in/photostream/

pre-work-out haha hi shannon. she always sees me sneaking in late trying to get out to the floor fast and then we have a gab gossip sesh. if i’m late tomorrow kash is going to make me do burpees, five for each minute. do you hear that YOU KNOW WHO?

i just ran out of steam i have to go blow myself back up again (i’m in a balloon metaphor right now) and then i’ll be back with more hugely topical things.

now you’re calling me up on the phone so you can have a little whine and a moan it’s only because you’re feeling alone

man i love this dress. i want one in every colour, exact cut and shape. surf dress. house dress. making a salad dress.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592074433/in/photostream/

well, slaw really. i made a mega batch of slaw, west indian matouk’s, olive oil and balsamic dressed. when you make your own food it’s amazing the portion and quantity you have, i eyeball each mound as ten dollars sold in a restaurant. can you get sued for ripping off other people’s food and selling it in your own restaurant? maybe not sued but definitely despised. it’s ok if i have my own resto it’ll be call stoner kitchen, no menu you just walk in with munchies and pick a general (vague) food group and just wait and see what gets placed before you.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592075081/in/photostream/

yesterday i was called anorexic and winter fat in the same thread. no, try personal training thrice weekly for four months. my body tone definition is blowing my mind. bodybuilders are extreme narcissists so i am going to stop talking about it until my next TMR post and by the way there’s ANOTHER deal with my gym, these guys know their internet special rounds eh, wonder why that is haha. anyhow, $25 for a Re-Energizer Bootcamp Spring Package at The Motion Room (a $250 Value) this was the biggest deal yesterday on le webz and look at my body, there is no denying it’s working for me. you should see alyssa once i remember what her blog is her torso is as tiny as mine now and i’ve been working out longer and she came in when i was already slimmed down and she caught up to me.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5592670038/in/photostream/

we went to squirrleys for my stupid salad i no longer like, the portion is too tiny and they give you a half pile of pita bread for some confusing reason plus we had to listen to some guy tap his fingers a lot back there. it’s a museum (hole) to the 90’s, however the seven grain salad is only 7.95 and comes with a side of mesclun dressed for you. i’m pretty put off by salads and a ramekin of couldn’t give a shit dressing, what’s worse is the plastic ones with a lid basically telling you to fuck off and don’t bother.

better photos on my blackberry which died in the night. the battery cannot hold charge i had nightmares of did i really leave my charger at home or in a gutter? that’s bad when you dream about that kind of thing. it’s the stress of not being able to contact people and work, of not existing. like right now it is across the room charging what is going on over there i must get up and fight out. see? sickness. i am fighting the urge to give in nooooooooooooo! well i walked all the way home from the tower to get stuff done so i’ve been out of contact since last night. do not judge me. fear me.

garrulous complaints

god i’m such a sponge. i just started reading affliction, apparently it’s a nick nolte movie. don’t tell me anything about it please but anyway already i love it. russell banks is the best writer. so funny concise and a sentence just spills unto itself kind of like how i write like by the end of the breath you’re like all that shit at the beginning of the sentence finally makes sense thank fucking god, like that but except way way more tight.

so far i liked how he spoke about all the smart people leaving this town in new hampshire (every single woodsy book ever takes place somewhere in new england, russell banks and steven king must be soul brothers) which can be applied to every single small town anywhere. the smart talented ones leave and the dumb ones get left behind, abandoned. so then you have this village, quite literally, of idiots. hey don’t get mad at me i’m just the re-messenger here but anyway, all the organized ones are long gone so the rest don’t even know how to string together a semblance of community. i kind of want to go to there (inside melodie joke) you know? i like the broken down and dysfunctional. i am drawn to it.

ok salad time, i only wanted to say hi about shitty towns who only have names for themselves or thrive cos they’re on the way to somewhere better. how sad is that? and beautiful. now i feel like a road trip.

that’s all, nothing more, or less.

i am gearing up to start writing 10,000 words a day again for my book is what this means i guess.

every time i eat (all the time) we take out an imaginary phone and imaginary type while saying out loud she’s eating again which is what teacher texted about me on our first date. he found it endearing and funny that i was eating and being a dickhole mess. applying loads and loads of vitamine e to my hands because i had burned the one a few days prior.

looking at pictures of people opening presents must be about as interesting as people showing you their vacation pictures. i just had an a-ha moment because that’s basically EVERYTHING that i do daily for a decade somehow i made this interesting.

this sandwich i must have a photo of its older price. no one is going to order it you realize? everything else at easy is already engorged price wise to begin with. the only person stupid enough to buy this is me, well, the teacher, for me cos when the bill came i said something cute to not pay even though it was my turn. who wants a raymi’s guide to getting dudes to buy you stuff? ha that won’t blow up in my face at all. teacher just said how about a guide to getting raymi to buy me stuff.

yesterday i was so epicly out of sorts we couldn’t tell that these “greyhounds” didn’t have vodka in them. yah. bill came and together both were 9.47 or something, that seems dangerously low for vodka? the grapefruit did the trick though, no hair of the dog happened. my waitress was also hung. i liked that. she’s like drink that down for me, people steal this juice (i think that’s what she said?) ok greyhounds are 5.95. we are retarded. i asked the teacher if he could detect vodka even and he was like yes. i did not. he is slightly more retarded than i am. but wow i look pretty tired here.

i sucky pants’d a starbucks brought to me while i lay facedown in my bed had time to make adventurehouse coffee by the time he arrived, i had blankets imprint on my face, that is a sign of old age i freaked out in the mirror.

i think the tumbleweeds laughing at me in my bank account is what’s getting me incensed over this price hike. i’m not broke but i am sick of paying for shit, seems to happen in phases, a week of spending on top of consuming E V E R Y T H I N G then you come across your favourite sandwich and a little wire in your brain goes snap. this will not stand. this is not ‘nam walter.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5584168922/in/photostream/

it’s a whole chicken so you get two sandwiches. alright i see that but like what about just, the ONE sandwich on the menu? i am not letting this go. 9.95 (i just looked at an older menu it was 12.50 so nevermind i guess all of the rest of this is now pointless to read) to 15.50 is massive. maybe it’s the bread that’s making me most upset, i love it and it comes from only two places in the city, which i don’t even remember and may as well be in france. the bread is that good. ok i’ll get over it there are far more important things to be concerned over. also, the SECOND sandwich is in the firdge here i’m about to go have a bite of it for raymi blog fuel. good thing my meal has two sandwiches in it what is this america?

see you tonight!

the last bender

now, where was we? Ottawa windows planet urg. that’s where. i just sent everyone off to the raveonettes and was talking about how i brought my laptop and i’ll just, oh you know, work? pah haahaha ah ha right. the last week of blog posts have been spectacularly riddled with charlie sheenisms i was thinking how i should stay away from the internet until monday. birthday week come to a close please thanks.

anywhooosers i’ll just throw up (hahaha) the rest of my pics i’ve already put on flickr then make like king tut and mummify. yeah yeah.

this is when i discovered making eye contact with the apple camera webcam duh. once i was finished being mesmerized by my own image of course. maybe this is why mac users are sooooo arrogant and big headed they look at themselves constantly on webcam and eventually believe they’re super fucking good looking or something.

can you give me just a little extra for free face. learn it live it love it and love me for the skeleton key top tip.

pop your eyes too. don’t forget your visine. i think my (teacher’s) teeth whitener strips dissolved by this point.

i am obsessing over my cakes more and more as days go by. i am going to carole’s cafe, i’ve been poring over cake fetish photos and now i want to love the hand that feeds some.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5581974716/in/photostream/

it was fun having my family friends at my shitty date bar. one day maybe there’ll be a raymi guided tour of the city like they do in nyc for sex and the city fanatics.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5581388173/in/photostream/

it was fun having my mom wasted off the drink menu too. now you understand me a little more, you cannot resist the temptation of that cocktail menu. i got melodie an anita’s attitude adjuster straight off the bat, reasons why require no mention. i love this photo because you can see how i look like both my mother and aunt alison. pretty neat.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5581975586/in/photostream/

don’t go all out now ma. keeding. i love this. i wonder if she likes finally having a daughter who enjoys and rivals the like and need of pink and girly things.

i crawled out of my vortex to go to the spoke for britt’s bday. i sat by her folks and charmed her dad as much as i could. i said my dad adores britt and her dad is like well where is he then? everytime i played with my blackberry he tsk’d me and i would make up some stupid funny excuse/lie about what i was doing.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5583354946/in/photostream/

it was a set menu. it was like a wedding. that’s the scallop starter. i chose the weird salad. i was afraid i wouldn’t be able to stomach anything. i said to the folks that if britt and i are going to remain friends we’re gonna have to better plan this birthday party staggering thing.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5582768591/in/photostream/

weird salad and my drink, campari and other things. campari is a digestive so it’s a good drink and a sipper cos it tastes disgusting. my mom had some of my campari-ish drink at watusi and was grossed out. i have tasted a lot more of the world and i’m a boozehead so i’m now in the grossest drinks ever phase of my alcoholism. the next stage is cold turkey. sandwiches. mmmm.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5582768641/in/photostream/

birthday girls. old girl (someone actually said that in my comments) on the left. i said in my card we should stop having birthdays at 29, kay? god i am that girl now saying those cutesy cathyesque age quips. GULP! our outfits are kind of coordinated which we did not eve pre-plan or even speak prior to this. i was fancy clothed frantic.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5583355142/in/photostream/

see total wedding. pricey too. i’ve been used to being treated for too long. oh well worth it. it felt adult. britt’s dad was like where is your boyfriend. i stared at him. then i said five different answers.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5583355262/in/photostream/

i had the shank as my main. you know how i is with the pasta.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5583355424/in/photostream/

britt’s mom wore a prince pantsuit. that is my future uniform too i think. very chic celine dion classy. she wore a raaaaspberry beret.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5583355500/in/photostream/

matches my minx nails. ok you guys were right about the popping thing.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5583355568/in/photostream/

i don’t even want to talk about how sad this is. britt smashed it. i assisted in that. i said put it in the bubblewrap for safety after she opened it. we both thought it was a bubblewrap mini bag, it wasn’t, it fell to the floor. i got this photo at least. it’s sad because i thought about it for a month before i bought it and even posted it on my blog that i would get it for her, it is perfectly suited for her livingroom, or on her bedroom armoire. we all know how much thought and focus perfectionist gift givers (me) put into their gifts. britt’s mum was like oooh you must feel SO bad britt. HAHA nice one mom. anyway i will see if they can order another or get her the other snowglobe i momentarily considered getting, not as great as this one though. so sad. RIP emo snowglobe. you were not cheap. i slipped it in there a few times that it was designer. whether that is true or not i dunno. if you’ve ever bought such a frivolous expensive thing before as a snowglobe, unless you are one of those disney arrested development collecting freaks, you have no idea what it’s like. maybe the shock of saving your money for something more important is something to make you snicker over here. i DID immediately say once it smashed as we were picking up the pieces, don’t cry over smashed snow globes.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5583355642/in/photostream/

yeah it was the year i became uber hot again and i was in the globe and mail for you know what and well, it was great just because i changed my life. just some crap you put on an envelope as an afterthought of deepness that you know will go in the garbage anyway. next year when she turns 27 i will have a LOT more to say. OMG GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE DUDE! i think britt might be more superstitious than i am?

had a pit stop at teacher’s to try to nap, mostly to digest then i almost bailed on adventurehouse III but i powered through. paying for it now but a duty is a duty. glad i went and that guy came to have a mini business chat talk with me after he bought me a shot. we are doin’ lunch. i was like mmhmm yep yup sounds great good good ok so do you have money? things are great and fine on email but then when it gets to money talk all of a sudden this GREAT idea for YOU and your blog that benefits you zero, is not worthy of paying you for the work you do for it/them. silly gooses. the guy was like, we want the best so i came to you. damn straight hustler. i’ll sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman wearing white gloves, i will.

they played a special one for me, that gorillaz empire ants song, a lounge lizard trip hop version. jason osler makes fun of me on gchat once a week or so about the one song i listen to. hey guy i don’t listen to it anymore. he texted how my bday was and said don’t say to read your blog. ha. therefore i forgot to text back to it. therefore he will never know. i’ll just email him this blog blurb.

under a year ago i brought a parade with me back from wrong bar one night. this girl was part of that herd. the adventurehouse allure is strong and almighty. tanya our bar house leader said now that she’s met me she understands the tickle trunk addiction. she is amazing. we are going to do some fun collabs together coming up just you wait and see. pressing publish now. i still have my mom’s photos to show from my birthday which everyone has seen on facebook for days now, and then my own. ooh i just remembered snl is on tonight. i don’t know how to work that tv thing so maybe i’ll just stick to being a hunchback and maybe saying bizarre stuff on my tumblr though by the time i read through this the gang will be back from the raveonettes show and will take over the place. remind me to ask my brother what he wants for his birthday. last year i got him wallabees. i’ve wanted my own pair for too long now. maybe i’ll just ask my dad.
