Precious...

I LOVE that song! It's dark, depressing, yet speaks to me in some unusual way. While I can't say I loved the whole album, that song was for me the highlight. It's been looping on my ipod all day today and I'm listening to it as I type this.

Day was decent. Well to be honest all my lack of sleep this week caught up with me as I woke up at 1 today. After the usual routine it was on to Thursday grocery duty. Not the brightest of days, especially as it's now been 6 days since my Mom spoke a word to me (she's still upset over me coming home at 1 (I SO have to get an uncle to convince her I'm a 23 year old GUY, and not a 12 year old girl!). I'm sure things will straighten out though. She's BOUND to have to go get some clothes for Eid and always comes to me for a second opinion! Believe it or not I do have a flair for colours and styles.

After groceries were done, I managed to head out to the Nike Employee store on Brimley Rd. My brother managed to snag a few passes that were for "teachers only" and took us. I love the fact that he's already abusing his vice-presidential powers - that's SO desi! We walked in and really didn't see much, though I'm pretty sure I saw a certain Blue Jays employee who works on databases. I wanted to say hello, but realizing that HE passed by ME and didn't say hello meant I should probably stay quiet. Didn't really see much until I went to the front to leave and saw this:



So now I own one! I don't usually impulse buy, but I've had a crappy two weeks, and with a birthday in a week's time, I thought I deserved it! It set me back more than I wanted, but I still paid about 1/3rd less than retail for it. I think the whole watch thing is inherited from my dad, who arrived in Canada without a suit, yet had a Seiko watch! I guess the whole "like father, like son" thing is eerily true here, as I have yet to have ever owned a suit myself!

I'll leave things here, as Thursday night television awaits...
