I was going to do a blast about how I hate everything but I decided to do a gratitude list instead:

Drinking the last of the tea Jeri-Lynn and the concom gave to me for Conflikt. It’s called Berry Juice, and it’s delicious, from Friday Afternoon Teas.

Biscotti is in the oven; I just turned it off and now it will continue to get to that impeccable golden brown which just makes life good.

I am still very very glad I have a weighted blanket and I sleep with it every night unless I’m away from home.

I can have a hot bath or shower any time I want.

I have wonderful friends and family.

I am editing.

the code seems quite permeable

one would think, granted ‘one’, granted ‘thought’

granted conditions for the code to bloom and flex

it was meant to be so

tripping so

trippingly

but all roads lead to a god with no persona

science

and ain’t that a bore

we fill the cracks in the code with sounds

we stuff the space with photons

and it doesn’t matter

we ignored moral philosophy

and the greatest minds on earth

got their nipples licked by capital

and it was all over

This is an amazing on line exhibit…. have fun. 17th C dead letters!

My most recent comment on a fanfic: This is a ridiculous story about a ridiculous situation, and I loved every second of it. – which very accurately describes it. I’m sorry, I grew up reading frothy overwrought romances and I reproduce them without apparent effort.

progress icon now reads 25% complete for Sweep Off Those Waves

Think I’ll go see Birds of Prey today.

If I’m still feeling peppy I’ll head to the writers group after.

I got Alex for a couple of hours yesterday…. he’s about the same as always. He enjoyed Xenon for about half an hour and then we watched volcanoes explode and he watched a Baldi video (??!! wtf) and then we recorded sounds and made them echo and then he bonged on the hand pan for a good long while and then his mother and Keith appeared. I literally haven’t seen Keith since the last time I mentioned him on my blog and I wanted to hug him and squeeze him and Katie was in a mood to leave so I hardly got to see him and I went

sigh. I neeed to walk over there.

do you know what I want a pop culture person to do? I want Billie Eilish in a black and dayglo green prairie dress with a tasteful fractal pattern and black and green combat boots and the extendamix version of holy shit nails because on her it would look like Tuesday

 

also I think that William Gillis is the modern Voltaire but fuck he’d hate me for saying it so so much

Katie and Alex aren’t well enough to go to Gibsons and I’m too much of a softie to take the transit there and back with all my clobber, so….

 

no cousin visit this weekend.

Eta Carina in beads, would be killer eh? SO MANY COLOURS

A picture of a signboard saying What goes with the coronavirus. … Lyme disease! Ha!

and with climate change this person is quite possibly right

 

anyway the store took shit and changed the sign, but fuck people are on edge

COQUITLAM (NEWS 1130) — A driving student failed a sobriety test after being pulled over during a lesson for running a stop sign.

day drinking / in Coquitlam

baby it’s a thing

 

A Coquitlam RCMP officer stopped the car, which had a large ‘student driver’ sign displayed, around 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 2.

The student driver, a 44-year-old man from Coquitlam, then failed a roadside sobriety test. He was in the middle of a driving lesson.

 

“At that point, we got the student out of the car, did a field sobriety test, the instructor, as you can imagine was quite surprised or unnerved by this whole procedure, ” Cpl. Michael McLaughlin.

He added the officer on scene could also smell alcohol.

My driving instructor’s completely appalled
that the cops caught him snoozing on me having alcohol
All my bad habits, I could never quit them
I’m learning how to drive while day drinking in Coquitlam
(Ungodly yelling, buzzing and braying) MWAYYAAAAAAA!  zzzzzzbbrrrrrrrrr

“Neither the driving student nor the instructor did their due diligence to be safe on the road. Our officer made sure to deliver immediate consequences.”

Dude diligence they didn’t do it dude
Dude diligence they didn’t do it dude
Dude diligence they didn’t do it dude
Dude diligence they didn’t do it dude

 

The student had his learner’s licence suspended for 90 days and received a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign.

In ninety days I’ll be back to terrorize the roads
but not with that instructor man he’d rather swallow toads
than get stuck in another learners car with an asshole such as me
and watch his livelihood towed away by the fucking RCMP

 

The driving instructor had his car impounded for 30 days.

Both the driver and the driving school could face a review from ICBC, McLaughlin said.

Dude diligence they didn’t do it dude
Dude diligence they didn’t do it dude
Dude diligence they didn’t do it dude
Dude diligence they didn’t do it dude

“You need to know the rules, particular rules for being a driving instructor. One of them is, you are responsible for that student behind the wheel, carefully evaluate them. If they are not safe to drive, don’t let them on the road.”
