In Da Club

Happy Halloween from the Bush! I went to da club, and by da club I mean the one that shares the parking lot with Timmy Ho's. There were a lot of hos and pimps out that night, both sexy and so unsexy it was spooky. Way to capture that Halloween spirit, folks!

"Gosh darn-it I forgot my Halloween costume!"

The Berry Barn

The madre is gone now, but I will continue to post about her visit. As you may have seen on facebook, I took her to a place that advertised itself as the best in Saskatoon hospitality. This place was The Berry Barn. 

A barn! Or is it...

It was on a nice spot by the South Saskatchewan River, and to get there we drove by many farms, other Berry Barn-esque businesses, and the landfill.

"Any open houses in the area?" -Mother Wang

I actually live pretty close to the landfill. Handy if I need to find a bunch of seagulls to lasso to my giant peach!

Keeping informed

Went on a walk with the m-unit around campus the other day when I suddenly found myself strolling alone on the sidewalk. I looked around and there was the madre, intently studying a parking lot regulations sign. 

"Anyway, good to know."

My own car was parked on the street off campus.

Larry David

I see this in every parking lot I've been to, which is many here in the bush - black belt parking skills.

Fitting into this tight space must have been hard. 
Bravo, sir!

Life Dilemma

I am facing a huge life dilemma* - where should I work part-time during the day?

Option 1: lowly barista at Starbucks, making 15 cents above minimum wage. But I get to drink all the free coffee I want while I'm on shift!

Option 2: working lunch shifts at a "high-end" Japanese restaurant downtown. Here is a link to a most hilarious review... If you don't know which one I'm referring to, then I guess you'll never know because I won't tell you since it should be obvious. OK FINE it's the one left by EricaH.

Option 3: working the front desk at the Holiday Inn! If Snoop Dogg were to pass through town, he'd chill there, right? Except that it's a Holiday Inn Express, and I think part of my job would be to drive the shuttle bus between the airport and the hotel. Fun? Embarrassing? Awesome?

Because let's be honest, I am competing against high school students for these jobs, and ain't no one going to out-compete a high school student for their job like me.

Wouldn't it be fantastical to have to wear a stiff kimono while serving? And I could go really go all out and paint my face white and draw my eyebrows in an inch above where they really are, and make my hair into the shape of a peach so that I show off the sexy back part of my neck. Because according to the creepy guy who wrote Memoirs of a Geisha, people LO-OVE them some peach neck cleavage.


*not actually a dilemma
