I make a differentiation between soft and hard deadlines. The softies are self imposed. I don’t know why I keep the facade up though. Every time I write “soft deadline for blah blah blah” in my little black dayplanner I might as well write in “I’m going to win a million dollars today”. Anyway, I worked all day on a half way done assignment that’s due tomorrow in a very hard way and I desire a break. Lately I’ve been reading Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. Well not exactly reading. I’m listening to it on Luna in Audiobook form. It’s pretty good; territory I had seen already covered in Super Size Me, but Fast Food Nation came first and goes deeper into the historical development of fast food and its marketing etc.
Anyway, it made me hungry for a thick juicy burger and lucky me, last week on the Okituk expedition, I bought a pack of Presidents Choice thick N juicy burgers, lettuce, tomatoes and sesame seed buns. The Prince Albert Diner has a yummy yummy burger where they throw on all the standard stuff and then they add a thick layer of peanut butter to the patty and this is what I recreated. It was so fucking good. The peanut butter got all hot and melty and yumm yumm. It mixed surprisingly well with the mayo, mustard, ketchup and onion. So good. SOO GOOOD!!!
My kiwis are finally ripe too. When I got home from work yesterday morning at 7am, outside it was still pretty dark, but a reddish glowing kind of dark because all the white snow was reflecting the little light that there was and the sky was kind of purplish just before the sunrise. I came into my dark apartment and put on CHRW campus radio and it was perfect dark glowing morning kiwi eating music.
It was ambient spaceship mars landing slow dreamy surreal type stuff. I sat down at my kitchen table and only had on a little fluorescent lamp and peeled my kiwi in the eerie glow and I pretended I was eating a baby alien pod and it was delicious then I had a little nap before class. The End

Peanut butter on a burger? Sounds so weird! But if it’s tasty, hey! It’s ok!
Speaking of burgers, now I want an In ‘n Out burger. The best ever. Mmmmm.. *drools*

98? I have you know, I made that CD back in ’97 and only like two of those songs are even from that year. I think you were randomly guessing. Either that, or Candians suffer a time gap in receiving fresh American music.

I’ve seen some people eat some weird things… but I’ve got to say peanut butter on a hamburger is up there.
RYC: I do appreciate the nickname especially since I know you gave it in an absolutely complimentary way. And everyone else thanks you for it, too, since they are taking it in a very naughty way!

RYC: Oh yeah. I did the whole interest free term to its maximum limit. It was annoying, but the loans didn’t bother me to the point they do now. I have two federal ones that are being paid at $20 a month ’cause that’s all I can offer. This other one is the provincial portion of my loan… the bigger one and the Ontario provincial government is unforgiving. Bastards!
