HUMP-DAY HUMP

wednesday. what a busy week this has been and it's only HALF over. i bet all your corporate genies are happy friday is a holiday. i'm trying to work extra, extra hard so I can have at least the afternoon off. some cosmic power ALWAYS decides that the magazine must go to press the monday after a long weekend. well, i guess its not so much a cosmic power as much as a printing company. whatever. thats besides the point. (jesus, all this cosmic genie talk, i have just realized, is completely influenced by the fact that i'm listening to Within You Without You off Sgt. Peppers. crazy how much of an ifluence music has...) alright what else. well, yesterday we did a photoshoot. I just got the contact sheets back from the photographer. ammmmmazing. so excited to see it all together. also- tonight, going to see caribou at starlight. should be very, very fun. ..the hour of it i can enjoy anyways. if my digi cam would turn on i would take pictures and share them with you. you'll just have to take my word for it. then, its home to port elgin for easter tomorrow night or friday. i can't wait for summer, when i can do more than go to the bar there. at least in the summer i can go to the beach AND THEN the bar. geez THAT is what i should be taking pictures of. the bar in port elgin. THE bar. there is one. its always HILARIOUS and people dont give a shit there. 40 year old men breaking it down on the dancefloor. another interesting fact about port elgin is that there are quite a few drinks you can order there that you would never find anywhere else. here are some of the recipes, incase you decide you want to take a mental trip there this weekend. BRUCE COUNTY MARTINI (no i am not making this up) 1.5 oz jack daniels 1.5 oz jager or something else disgusting that i cant remember coca cola, regular or diet for the ladies ice serve in a martini glass NITRO (people seriously drink this and it's gross and i think it costs 8 dollars) 1/2 can redbull 1/2smirnoff ice 1/2 a coors light? and a shot of something i beleive. ok, so im going to do some fact checking on that and correct my mistakes in those recipes, so you can REALLY enjoy them. i've obviously never drank either, and whenever i am given a sip of one at the bar and say "EW WTF IS IN THAT" i can never really hold onto that information the next day.... feel free to share any good drink ideas with me, because gin and tonic and spiced rum and diet coke are getting a little bland these days.

i would drink the NITRO in a hot second. I really don't understand the allure of a small town... people always talk about how fun and hilarious it is when they go back to their small town and woop it up at some shitty bar and the whole time im thinking, thats exactly what it is.. a shitty bar. no eye candy, gross old men, an incredibly long walk home... etc etc. but im sure if i grew up in a small town i would get it. woh long comment!

Everyone in port elgin is good looking. Its weird.
i think it has something to do with the tainted power plant water. AND everyone works at the power plant, so everyone has tonnes of money, so no one walks home from the bar, and everyone buys you drinks when you're only visiting.

i hope no one from port elgin reads this because then my free drink plan will be exposed.
damn it.

Your lucky Cassie. I lived my teen years in a small town called Port Colborne. Every one was hygenically challenged, sporting mullets and too few teeth for comfort. I think it had something to do with the tainted water from the nickel plant which is shut down so no one has any money but is too stupid to leave the run down town. But people do buy you drinks when you visit. Also, something about hearing a mentally challenged person sing living on a prayer on karaoke night just makes me feel nostalgic.
