Batteries [11 Nov 2009|10:37am] ottawa [tiny_wings] Bit of a long shot but... I've got a few #13 hearing aid batteries that I don't need anymore because I use a different kind of hearing aid now. They are still pretty new (bought during the summer) and if someone needs them, I'd rather not throw them out, especially seeing as they are kind of expensive. If anyone wants them, I can meet you at the Rideau Center pretty much any day around 6pm. Sniff

Birthday report! [10 Nov 2009|12:22am] mendel [ mood | older ] So I got a year younger today. Somehow, earlier this year I'd completely convinced myself that I was 35, I think because all of the post-MBA stuff had me talking about being "in my mid-30s" and that sort of became "exactly halfway through my 30s" in my head. So today I turned 34, and since I was 35 before, that means I got younger today. It all makes perfect sense if you are me. Today was a good day: I took the day off work as I usually try to do, but unlike most November 9thses it was about 20 C (68 F) so I was able to do things like "relax in the sun on Starbucks patio". I also went for a manicure and pedicure. They were fine, kind of awkward during* and not really worth the money but my feet feel all SOFT. And I read a lot and played with my just-jailbroken iPhone and bought some underwear. This is the crazy kind of guy I am. As for presents: nyxie and I got each other iPhones for our birthdays. Cheating? Yes, happily. Mom called tonight to ask if nyxie and I want to share a present of a Wii -- YES OK YAY :D Dad and Golda are coming down on Saturday to take the two of us out for our birthdays dinner; since nyxie is still gluten-free vegan, we're going to Fressen, which will be slightly outside of Dad and Golda's comfort zone (but very tasty!) so it should be a fun experience! As for how things are going: Quite well! At this point I feel back on track. (Two years ago on my birthday I'd just left the MBA and was trying to figure out what to do with myself so it's not hard to improve on.) ---- About that manicure and pedicure: Paying a woman tending to my feet hit all sort of classism and sexism alarms for me, which is probably one of the reasons I didn't enjoy it much! Earlier today I was mentioning this to eyeteeth and I said "I should've done something like a Thai massage instead" and she called me on that, wondering why Thai massage didn't hit the same buttons. Part of it is that there's taboos around the feet, and the genderedness, and that Thai massage (or, as I call it, "having yoga done to you") doesn't have the "frivolous luxuries" aura that a pedicure, especially a boy pedicure, does. But generally I guess I mean I didn't really enjoy it that much because of all the layers involved. That said, I went to 10 Spot, an "anti-spa" on Queen West -- I think I expected it to be more "anti-" and less "spa" but I realize in retrospect that if it were more "anti-" then its clientele wouldn't be getting pedicures and manicures. (It was also nearly empty which was not really conducive to first-time comfort.) 3 Human Smells GoodHumans Smell Wonderful | Sniff

lol cytokine storm [09 Nov 2009|10:20pm] mendel [ mood | cheerful ] Because it's come up in a few conversations lately, here is a list of things I have heard people call the flu epidemic, in no particular order. Heard any I missed? Swine Flu H1N1 Bacon Lung Hamthrax The Aporkalypse R2D2 It's a tough call between "Bacon Lung" and "R2D2" for my favorite. 6 Human Smells GoodHumans Smell Wonderful | Sniff

Remembrance Day Shopping? [08 Nov 2009|09:06pm] ottawa [arellyn] I was just wondering if anyone knew if any of the stores in the Glebe or Market areas were open at all on wednesday? Or when they opened? I'm suspecting noonish openings, but some confirmation would be great. Thanks! 6 Human Smells GoodHumans Smell Wonderful | Sniff

Dress Shopping [08 Nov 2009|10:54am] ottawa [memessy]  Hey all, I have a February wedding to go to (I know I'm planning early) and I want to look good! Also I figure if I buy a dress now, I can wear it at least once or twice over the holidays thus justifying the cost. I'm looking to spend $100-$200, the cheaper the better as tuition ain't cheap.  I don't really want a Jacob or Melanie Lynne special, my boyfriend's the best man and I want to stand out.  Any ideas for places downtown (ideally) where I can get something that no one else will be wearing? Keeping in mind that it's a wedding of 300+ people and I need to look classy.  Standard sizing is fine! Preferably cocktail length. Thanks :) P.S. I've already perused Red Velvet on Elgin, and though their stuff is lovely, the dress I liked was $245 and that's before I consider shoes or accessories.  7 Human Smells GoodHumans Smell Wonderful | Sniff
