lightning fast. i didn’t get to play ping pong all the hipster elite society of toronto (dudes) became competitive and manly out of nowhere, it was super annoying. like hi can i play for one f–ing second please? there were many tables and line-ups waiting for a table and then hogging the table.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5811997290/in/photostream/

so i had a nice little sit instead.

i have a busy morning today i have to start prepping for, other than just mentally. work out, half hour stretch then pool party the moment has come the one i’ve been dreading, bathing suit not consisting of rags and various underwears time. ugh. that doesn’t sound like a very hard morning at all does it, but when you work for yourself, downtime overtaking work time, it is.

come with me to my cast party. it goes something like this.

With Her is a story that personifies the juxtaposition of a love that is contrived and a love that is real. Love, where would you find it?

the script editor/cowriter and associate producer (emer) and i and a red velvet rope OMG IT’S THE BIG TIMES NOW PEOPLE.

a photostory about a cupcake the teacher ate, that i missed. boo hoo.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5808175081/in/photostream/

it was dark and bumpin’ & cupcakes were everywhere. two kinds. red velvet. ahh gad.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5808182629/in/photostream/

half my makeup didn’t show up til britt did. i wanted to apply the lower half of my eyes when i got there in case allergies ran amok. they didn’t and i didn’t put my mascara wand in my purse. that’s the red velvet cupcake. gooey icing. we shared it.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5808184829/in/photostream/

it actually tasted like healthy icing, homemade.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5808751030/in/photostream/

colleague bid on the bull, drove the bidding up. lost in the end i think. i haven’t heard about my bid so i guess i lost.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5808208871/in/photostream/

dude in the hat i will be boning in the movie. i better not look like an amazon beside him, well, i’ll be on top ha. we’re the same height i am probably a little taller. i measured. the starvation began yesterday. organic wine shared a half litre. but i did have a billion malt balls. kris on the left is also a producer/director, or both i dunno don’t ask me i am the talent and colleague is telling me to check imdb/fb/website so i checked but see a billion different contradicting things along with what i have already learned previous. ACK! UPDATE: about the adorable film makers.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5808211075/in/photostream/

the next time you see a still of us together it will be in a wholly different setting and atmosphere. i have twenty days to go skeletor and to keep face tidy and young.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5808791250/in/photostream/

and this too? none prettier? i hate it when man photographers put the best sharpest photo inconsiderate of the female’s feelings or wants, F*CK YOUR ART! (brosz7kowski is MAJORLY guilty of this one) give me the prettiest vampiest and don’t make me repeat myself i don’t care if you captured an oboe’s shadow exquisitely.

THEN, JUST AS WE WERE ABOUT oops yelling still haha, so just as we were going to leave cos the teacher had three vodka sodas in an hour, or four? these dweebs show up, so then the teacher had his fourth and i wanted to have real dinner. we stayed to party some more instead, grand idea.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5808808142/in/photostream/

haven’t seen britt in ages. they were stir crazy craving the city and brad was my favourite kinda drunk, bordering on newf drunk, belligerent surly and snickery which opens up the raymi zinger floodgates. my specialty. i composed entire songs about brad’s stupidity and masculinity. i am the best “one of the guys” girls there are you know.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5808246125/in/photostream/

greetings from planet luxury stress. no blogging today until i tidy up this sty. do you want a cat? who wants a cat? i was just going to text the teacher that we are giving a cat away but then they started being friends and licking each other on the couch and my heart broke, therefore if you want all these pets (me included) VACUUM THIS M*THERF**R ASAP.

this is how REAL i look when allergies have their way with me on a saturday afternoon, starving, hungover, depressed from the weather, emo from the hangover, stir crazy from how long it took to get out of the house to this chain resto for slug-like service, baby how tired do i look? LIE TO ME OR I WILL JAM THIS LIME WEDGE INTO YOUR EAR.

my two favourite nails were on the end, pink and ring finger. pinky broke and ring finger cracked, it always does. it’s ok though cos when i’m hyper-focusing on that hand the other one is growing and then i pay that one attention. people nurture their obsessive tendencies into full-blown enough already status. i’m doing a hand aging watch.

pretty soon i will be needing a sunblock sponsorship. did you know how pricey that stuff is? i didn’t cos i never wore it before, only makeup on my face would be my defence.

got it together for the fundraiser jam at cherry cola. it was a really fun time. it involved eating and art, i bid on something, i think i won it too?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5805591380/in/photostream/

the two B’s showed up afterall changing the course of action for our evening, which likely would have resulted in more eating. well it did but not in the form of in a restaurant as sundayte night tradition, i think eating period in restaurants is tradition enough. this fatty has to restrict and stick to it. today so far so good. is baking your own chicken wings a healthy idea? i think so. we could grill them OMFG why haven’t we started using the bbq yet? oh cos we’re lazy degenerate slackers that’s why.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5805591588/in/photostream/

tsk tsk the teacher smoked. britt and brad are bad influences, enablers.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5805591996/in/photostream/

i have a nude version of this. i am trying to tame this place up, should i? would doing that make people visit more or less often? i think i will be labelled as p0rnography until the end of time cos of all the garbage vocabulary on my blog so it doesn’t matter if i go topless. i pictured myself as a 56 year old tanned weird nudist poking around my estate unsexily cos often when i’m puttering around the house naked it’s nowhere remotely near lewd, or sexy it’s just, so papa of me.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5805085759/in/photostream/

maybe a solution in the future will be for me to show up 25 minutes later after everyone’s been seated but then i will just do the math in my head for the food still not being there +25 minutes so, no point. plus part of the fun is everyone stir crazily staggering and dragging one another in the streets finally out of the house. once in awhile you have to do the ok i’m leaving. ok i’m waiting outside. are you getting annoyed right now thinking about it? i am. it makes you hungrier and angrier and crazier like you were held in a pirates of the caribbeanesque cage for years and centuries it’s amazing how humans can go hostile barbaric so easily. i am the perfect candidate for a movie starring crazy jungle beast woman creature warriors especially if they coincide it with my period. i could be one of the monsters from the descent OMFG HOW SCARY IS THAT MOVIE so scary.

i am the most beautifat girl in the world. see how i was svelte this morning but a grenade here? i think i was constipated all weekend long. yum. anyway when you’re rocking bloat you have to go prettier. i needed to distract with dazzle camouflage, enter wolf dress melodie made from a large wolf tshirt.

always have a younger version of you around to keep you young and on your toes. it helps if they are even more neurotic than you about aging and fat, makes me feel normal. i just saw a girl run by now i want to run to the supermarket. i think i will. i’ll call my dad to say hi first. maybe i could do that while running?
