vay-kay-shun? hot: so hot!

i'm on vacation. vacation. fucking vacation! i've not taken an actual week's vacation in more than two years. it's so hot i'm dancing. the first three days were pure fucking lazorama. today i got up (relatively) early to make a batch of bars, as much because i wanted to eat them as that they're long sold out (i'm totally eating one right now). the saddest news is that we're totally out of soymilk which seems like it'd never happen-- but it totally does-- oh wait! i have backup!..it's not amazing. it's expired, but it'll have to do... so the last few days has brought a bunch of little amazing events. tuesday lucia and i went to value village where in five minutes i found a cool batman mask which i was going to render. in a move that wasn't terribly signature, i lost it somewhere between the store and the car. i suck. anyway, i also got some rad warm red kneesocks. stopping my to the allan street kitchen, mat gave me an old man luedecke cd and it's exactly what i needed. thanks. so i came home and listened to it and drank cup after cup of tea while and read while it pissed and i mean pissed rain outside and i had warm socks on and lots of asweaters and afghans and quilts and i was perfectly warm and this is the day of my dreams it was so fucking perfect i almost came on my book. yesterday my parents came and i was in a quiet mood and we picked my brother up at school and ran around looking for a place to eat and we ended up at mexico lindo after a gillion minutes of driving and me changing my mind about the instinct i had that this or that resto's food might be too oily or some other shit. came home, was a little pissy. drank a drinkydrink left on the table from the night before and headed again to the allan street kitchen to be interviewed on everyone's favourite vegan baking (radio) show let's get baked with mat and dave, about having a healthy halloween. the episode should be on tonight (from 5-6pm), and it's CKDU funding drive time, $o pledge you motherfucker$! made supper of leftover baked squash in fried tofu and split pea soup and headed to rosie's to check out the shirt he screened. it's hot and soon everyone can wear my bar's emblem on their chest. then to egg's to drill a hole in our sea monkey aquarium so we can make a bong from it. i will post more about this soon. other excellent highlights of my vacation: me doing shit-all until now and that's why i'm procrastinating. and we watched some crazyass stephen hawking stuff and a few choice simpsons episodes. also, i ate a good chunk of a loaf of kamut bread that tastes like white bread but feels like kamut bread because it is. also, my lovely aunt gloria and uncle jack, the lovely folks who keep me in constant supply of sweet sweet maple syrup, sent down a kohlrabi as big as my head or bigger, like 5 enormous squash and a fuckload of potatoes, carrots and pears. they're totally unsprayed pieces of awesome, grown with love and weeded in part by child labourers (grandchilren). thanks, aunt g and uncle j! more soon. more later. more sooner or later.
