Balmaniac.
In my opinion, one of the best 09 collections.

Ghost Hunters.
What A bullshit show!
I was too hungover to look for the remote control today. As a result, watched an hour of this crap. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about ghost stories. I love the idea of haunted houses and ghost sightings, but this show is so lame. They never find anything! They spend a night walking around in the dark taping and documenting and come up with nothing. At the end of each investigation they bring all their recordings back to the headquarters to dissect.
"woah, woah, woah, what was that?!?! the door just closed on its own!"
"oh, ummm.... actually i think that could have been the wind"
I dont know how this show is still on the air.
Oh, check this out though.....

Dear Diary,
B-
Today was, umm, okay.
On my way to work I stopped at the farmers market to grab a cookie. These cookies are next level. I've been buying them from this lesbian woman every saturday all summer. They are chocolate chip with homemade caramel and skor bits. Sooooooo good. Anyway, she tells me today that this is the last cookie ill be buying until next summer! I say "better make it a good one then" She picks the biggest, most gooey cookie in the batch.
Im late for work, so I decide to cut across Nelson park. Im walking at brisk pace, taking the first bite of my cookie, when my foot slips out from under me.... I stepped in dog shit! fuck! As i lift my foot to suss the damage, my big soft cookie breaks and falls to the ground.
I hate my life.
p.s I was asked by my manager to stop wearing grey polish, its pissing people off.

Grey, Grey, Grey, Blah, Blah, Blah..
Im about to paint my nails grey. For those of you who don't know, grey is only the hottest shade (shade not color) of the season. This is what every shitty West Van woman tells me when they come up to my counter.
"yes, I would like to pick up a couple bottles of the stormy grey nail lacquer"
"Im sorry Mrs Jones, we dont have it"
"what do you mean?"
"we dont have it"
"well, its in all the magazines, I want it"
"im sorry, it sold out all over the states before it even got shipped to canada"
"ugh! well, what are you wearing then?"
"stormy grey"
We got two bottles shipped to vancouver. They belong to me, and my counter partner. I also own "Greige" the new (sold out) Armani nail color.
Grey isn't an attractive shade on me, make my hands look like a witch.

Rat Catcher
Every Few monthes my apartment becomes overrun with mice. Its fucking disgusting. I put out traps, poison, borrow cats, everything I can think of. I manage to get rid of them for a month or two, but they always come back. They kept me up last night. I could here them scratching around, even squeeking at times. It drives me insane!
I remembered a suggestion my friend Cody Fennell once gave me. I had to search through my old myspace account to find it.

Im so tired!
I had the worst sleep ever.
My apartment building is a heritage building, so naturally, we have a bit of a mouse problem. It started a few months after I moved in. My pal Amy was complaining about mice on the first floor, but being on the top floor, we had no sign of them. It took almost a year for those little babes to make there way up all those stairs.
So a little over a month ago I started seeing mice. Every once in a while a little guy would scoot across the floor. Im not afraid of mice, I was actually kind of stoked. One night my friend connor came knocking on my door, close to tears.
"there is a huge rat in my apartment!! get it!!"
I was thrilled. I have never seen a rat in a house before.
So I have a box and im sitting quietly next to the closet waiting for this rat to appear so I can catch it and free it. all the sudden, This tiny baby mouse runs out! it was soooo cute! it had huge ears and a long tail. It was like the size of a cheezie. I named it kelly, Called connor a pussy, and called it a night.
a few days later we had pest control come in. They gave me a bunch of traps and sticky tape, told me to set it up in all corners. At this point I have only seen a the odd mouse, I don't like the idea of Paralizing poor baby kelly in a snap trap, so I leave the traps in a bag under the sink.
My mistake...
To Rodent community got word that my apartment was a safe zone, and moved in. I have seen quadruple the amount of mice in my house. Other them the sound of them running around, They did'nt really bother me....
until last night.
Im sitting in my living room, writing a letter, and i can hear squeaking and scratching in my kitchen. It was getting really loud, so i got up to check it out. two huge mice dart out from under my sink and scare the shit out of me.
Then I decide to go to bed..
I pull back my sheets and what do I find?
MOUSE SHIT!
mouse shit in my sheets! In my bed! where I sleep at night!!
I feel so violated. I try to do a nice thing by not murdering them, and what do I get? a bed full a shit. Some little prick defecates in my sheets.
Well you know what this means? this means war.
After changing my sheets, I pulled out the rat poison. I made a circle of green pellets all around my bed, and left little piles in all corners.
I went to bed. I laid In the dark, eyes wide open, for most of the night listening to those fuckers scurry around my room.
I woke up this morning to find all the little pellets gone. Every one of them.
Mwahh haa haaaaaa......

haha
I like that the mouse was the same size as a cheezie.. but mice are no laughing matter.. you got a war on your hands.. you need all the help you can get..
thus I have prepared for you the ultimate mouse catching device.. My grampa invented it because hes retired, bored and inventive.. ha.. it works so well tho...
heres the instructions..
ya take a pretty big bucket and made a ramp from the floor to the top of the bucket with little dabs of peanut butter all the way up the ramp.. who knew mice like peanut butter??? they loves it! so then at the top of the bucket you put a wire across the top of the bucket that holds a pop can with peanut butter all over the popcan..
see diagram:
so the Idea is.. the mouse gos up the ramp, sees the sweet sweet peanut butter on the pop can.. then lundges toward the can, then the can rolls and then fall in to the bottom of the bucket! it works dude!! youll have a bucket full of mice!

Tacomaniac
I've become obsessed with this new taco place on hastings called La Taqueria. Since stumbling upon it (opening day) a couple weeks ago and have eaten there like, I don't know, ten times? Its becoming a problem. All I think about are tacos. Carnitas + mild crush on the guy who owns it = rapid weight gain. Maybe ill fallow it on twitter.

Summer is over. (dark entries)
With the death of summer comes the birth of autumn.
Fall fashion. Oh man.
I want to buy everything! working at Holt Renfrew is like some sick form of torture. So many designers have gone goth this season. As a result, young asian girls with rhinestone encrusted finger nails are also wearing studded leather jackets and mesh. I never thought I would see PVC at aritzia. I can't decide if this makes me happy or sad.
