i guess i'd better update a little bit. the first few days since i moved down have been quite boring, really. my fault, though, because i chose to just sit around the house and do nothing. i finally got off my butt yesterday and did stuff, though. i guess you could say i'm just getting comfortable, finally.
i applied for work at a nearby grocery store owned by the same company as the one i just left. i hope i get on there in the deli or bakery (i'm hoping for deli more, to be honest; i've just been doing bakery stuff way too much and i'm getting a tad sick of it).
then i walked to southgate mall and wandered around. then i caught a bus up to the university. i tried to find the university of lethbridge office (if there is one), but i was very unsuccessful. :( so i took the train downtown, renewed my edmonton public library membership, wandered around that mall (what's it called? edmonton centre? the one that's like four floors), took the long way back to the university on the train, went back to southgate, and walked home from there. fun day.
in other news, my body is rejecting this move like it's rejecting a faulty organ transplant. the day after i moved here i started getting a really sore throat and lots of flegm built up in the back of my throat (tmi! tmi! :D). i wasn't feeling sick, just my throat was bothering me. i'm guessing it's the pollution in the air, not that there's a whole lot in this city, really. i'm just not used to any. i live right by whitemud freeway. this isn't shocking. it's getting better, but there are lots of things that aren't. i've had one huge continuous headache that only goes away when i take two pills of ibuprofen every five hours or so. and now i'm starting to get a plugged up nose. not a runny nose, just a plugged up one. but i don't feel sick. i'm not getting cold-like symptoms all at once, which is weird. they seem to be coming one at a time. i'm so blaming the pollution. and then there's the sore muscles, mainly around my neck and shoulders. i don't know what's causing that. o_o anyway…
the day before yesterday my mom and i went to see fahrenheit 9/11. a-frickin'-mazing movie. of course. and it's funny because i read an article in the new republic that same morning about how bush wants pakistan to find bin laden before november. OR ELSE.
yesterday i opened up my first account at a video store (blockbuster, no less). i've always mooched off either my mom's or burg's account. >:D we rented the butterfly effect (which was a lot better than i expected); paycheque paycheck (haven't watched it yet); and x, volume one (yay for an anime section). i've been dying to see the tv series of x for years. it's the only thing by clamp i'll ever touch. i just finished watching it, too. i'm really liking it. it's like the movie, but a million times more in depth. seeing the movie, however, i guess i know how things turn out, don't i? that's what clamp gets for trying to make an entire manga series into a really compact movie. anyone who hasn't seen the movie yet, don't. see the tv series first.
my mom and i also went to the street performer's festival yesterday, too. fun festival, that is. and, hey, willow and burg, they had two "margarita village" stands. different name, same drink. i had raspberry. :9
i set up a photo album of sorts: precisely.org/album. i put all my random digicam photos up there so far as well as the ones from the festival last night. have fun.
which reminds me, anyone who wants to go to animethon with me this weekend, email me (or call me if you have my number). i might not be going on sunday, though. if i am going on sunday, it'll only be for a little while, so i might not go at all on that day. just so you know.
ugh, i need a shower. immediately. OR ELSE. (VARNA.)
