"just like how newman does movies too"

my girlfriend's little brother watches a lot of seinfeld, and he was watching lindsay lohan on ugly betty last night and i said "hey, she's in movies too hey, like freaky friday" and he's all "yeah, it's  kinda like how newman does movies too, like cheaper by the dozen" "ya, and jurassic park, right?" "yah, that one's a comedy, right?" "right."

also for fun, his reference to the shows iCarly and drake and josh (involving the same actress) = him to jack white in the white stripes and raconteurs. he is ten. emmett also does his own version of seinfeld called emmfeld ... he does the stand up at the beginning, "don't eat those pretzels, they'll make you thirsty" and parts from the frogger episode, among others. what a kid.

so kind of a weird week.

i've been locked in my apartment for the most part, writing, watching hitchcock films and eating those amazing blueberry muffins from sobeys, you know the ones. on wednesday while watching 'rear window' i got a little note under my door. red through the envelope. red means something bad, right?

disconnection notice. hydro.

now, since i moved in here in july, i filed with hydro and have heard fuck all from them. people told me it takes a few months for them to send a bill. i thought this was curious but figured, if i don't have to pay for a while, no big deal.

so i called the number ... it was 330, and the offices closed at 430, and if i didn't pay today, i was fucked. imagine if i WEREN'T a shut in ... ANYWAYS the girl on the phone informed me that they had been sending out bills since june (i haven't lived here since june) and that it should have been MY JOB to call them to see why i wasn't getting bills. being a new renter, i had no fucking clue how often i got billed, but yeah. whatever.

i ran across the street to my hydro office (luckily located literally across the street) and paid in full. then i went home, checked my mail and saw that i had the FIRST of these hydro bills, saying that i owed money by november 20th or they would take action.

the girl at the office told me it was a post office error. i've been getting all my other mail. my friends in the building get their hydro bills on time. hmm. why the FUCK am i just now receiving a bill for NOVEMBER 20th?? jeepers.

on a nicer note, check out this new christmas song by my friends in merch table delite, it's a song ABOUT christmas songs. GET IT? also, check out this for the OTHER band who loves, christmas, quinzy! my photogs turned out not so bad i think, considering i lit them with my double headed black lamp from the corner (i'm apparently getting some lights for christmas!)

last night jen and i had some fun, watched some ER, baked cupcakes, listened to christmas music on the weather channel, kept each other warm ... twas delightful!

tonight i will go out and be sociable, the plan is to go to the film group screening at seven then the times change(d) to see marc's band the twerps play with the wind ups. i am realizing i need to get myself out of the house more, see people, mingle, get the word of the film out mostly. then tomorrow night is quinzmas, sunday is the radio and my sister's dance show, monday is jingle bell rocks ....... before you know it, we'll be opening presents and then before you know it AGAIN - a new years eve wedding.

later kids and kiddos.
