Okay, pregnancy/baby chat numbs my brain like nothing else, but I will say: being 10 days overdue sucks balls. Pregnancy is sucktown anyway, but this just takes the piss. 10 days! W! TF! THIS WAS NOT THE DEAL!
And if I get any more stupid unsolicited advice, or hear how it's all worth it in the end, or have one more person ask me a wildly inappropriate question about bits that are none of anyone's business, or ask me why/what I'm eating/not eating, or ask me how much weight I've gained, I'm going to start cutting faces.
Gonna go eat a steak now, and pretend it's human fucking flesh.
Forgot to add: "Oooh, do you have baby dreams? I had sooo many dreams about babies at the end! Bleeeah blah blooo adorbs babies are Jesus!"
This is the one cashiers like best. And the other day I was thinking, well, actually, no, because recently what I dreamed was that r. kelly released a new album called Fuck Vacation and I saw it online and fell over laughing and was so excited to tell Riley. But you can't really say that in response to "Aw, are you dreaming of your baby's face? Because when I was pregnant, I dreamed of my baby's precious, precious toes, and there was such an overwhelming feeling of love and just, like, perfection, and holiness, and me me me mememememe..."
I like my dream better.

I play ball hockey. A couple of years ago, the organizer quit, so I became the organizer. (The organizer doesn't do much but make sure enough goalies and people show up to play, and handle payment of the rental fees to the school board.)
When I wrote the cheque to the school board last week for this spring's rental fees, I noticed I was down to five cheques. And then I noticed the address on my cheques was out of date - by two different apartments. I moved into that apartment in February 2000 and ordered a bunch of cheques to pay rent. Ten years and a month later, I'm down to five cheques. That's kind of fucked when you think about it - Kurt's and Bill's kids are younger than my chequebook.

Oh MAN it keeps getting funnier: Wayne Gretzky in the back of a pickup truck?! What, were they taking him to a party in Whalley? Budget WIN. I actually feel kinda sorry for VANOC now-- maybe I'll go buy a couple crappy $25 acrylic Olympic toques (...wait, where are those made, anyway?) at Zellers today so Wayne can afford a cab home from BC Place.

7 billion dollars in Olympics costs so far. Seriously, how are people in BC on board with this nonsense? The media coverage makes me froth at the mouth-- no journalistic interrogation of this corrupt cronying garbage at all, just nauseating re-runs of asshats proposing to their girlfriends at the torch ceremonies to get on TV. Um okay congrats narcissists, but...what happened to the original budget? That I still voted "NO" on, as a Vancouver resident at the time? Because it was too fucking much money back then?
And man: I love hockey, okay? I love Team Canada hockey in particular. I love great sports, and athletic competition, and all that. I bawled like a fool for both the men's and women's winning hockey teams in 2002. Who doesn't love guts and will and heart? That's what I was blubbering for. I don't hate the athletes, I don't hate the notion. But hosting the Olympics isn't really about any of that: it's about manipulating people into forking our money over to politicians and corporations to play with. It's a burden so huge and so damaging that I just can't believe we've not only assumed it, but are paying The Bay to advertise it on our bodies. (And those mascots are absurd and infantile. Do we not live in the province of fuckin' badass orcas and grizzlies and Haida art? Could none of that hugeass, bloated budget have gone to a graphic designer who was not a 16-year-old female anime fan?)
...because, do the people out cheering know that we're paying for this? That's what I don't get. This isn't some big party that our politician parents are throwing for us, act as they will as though this is positive, and community-building, and some kind of privilege we should be grateful for. The tab is ours, and we'll be paying it off for YEEEARS, dude. And since it's my money too, I'd rather have efficient health care and not see a bunch of elementary schools closed down, and, you know, possibly some help and accomodation for all those homeless and mentally ill drug addicts and sex workers in Vancouver. Maybe a higher-education tuition reduction, if we're throwing billions of dollars around. Oh, oh!-- and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and a pony.
I feel like I'm in a zombie movie.
