Watching Good Morning Canada this morning I happened to catch a segment on The Dunlop Observatory which belongs to the U of T and is the place where the professiour discovered a black hole.
Its in the news these days because the U of T is opening up sale on the massive property donated to the university by the Dunlop family oh so many moons ago.
I think this is retarded, absolutely going against the nature of science and education, proving once again, money does make the world turn.
Anyway here is a a link I found in my scramble as I'm heading out the door for work.
Check it out, for the scientist in you.

Poetic
'If I had but one thing in this world I cherished more than you I would be doubly blessed and face Osirus with his sacred Ibis feather lighter than air.' -- Yve, 2008
wrote that and sent it to Vade spur of the moment at work yesterday, I had a feeling he was having a bad day and I wanted to make him smile. Yes, occasionally I am just THAT good.

Nuuuuuuuuuugh
So I woke up early today and kicked about online before deciding I wanted more sleep and headed back for a lay down.
Sometime between laying down at 9:30 and getting up 10:30 I pulled a muscle in my neck/shoulder and I can't turn my head to the left at all and barely to the right, nor can I lift my left arm over my ribs.
Plus I woke up originally with a cold. NUGH.
WHHHHY?
Why during inventory week? WHY!??
Fuck you mother nature, fuck and you.
-slumps and whimpers in pain- oh yah. everytime I move I hurt.
nugh.

Inventory Week
So its Inventory Week at work this week, which means we have to clean, organize and prep for the big count on Saterday.
This entails much stupidity on behalf of my company and I mean, it really hurts to admit this. Its just that bad.
Lets start at the beginning, today my first day back from the weekend, and the store has already been divided into sections, starting on the left hand 'window' display and moving down the left hand wall, around the back wraps around the right hand side then hits the middle displays. Each section is literally three feet wide and takes up a row of shelving. Monday the front window display was done, the dishwall, asian wall and half the linens were done by the time I came in. Not bad, but we're only a tenth of the way started.
Jess explains to me the method of the inventory, how we have to pre-organize the merchandise by writing down the SKU's and doubling the list leaving the count columns empty (for the Big Count). We have to start on the top shelf, working left to right, down a shelf right to left, down a shelf left to right, in a very drunken style zigzag.

Just like that.
organize, list, document, copy, ignore customers, organize, list, document, copy, ignore phone, for 9 hours.
-shudders-
Remarkably I got finished the rest of the linen section (#10) and made my way through the coffee and tea wall, to the gadjet section, through the aprons and oven mitts to the spice wall. I stopped there. Ten sections chewed through by me and Jess.
I stopped at 8 and started the close.
I was so glad to get the hell out of there by 10 after 9 it was a fucking miracle.
I loathe inventory.
LOATHE.
LOOOOAAAATTHHEE.
this is going to be a very long very annoying week.
BUT I found out.
I get the christmas bonus from all the hours I worked at the holiday store.
YAY!!

My Monday Off / OK Tripplanner
I even managed to sleep in yesterday morning, and I got up, did the dishes first thing and took Dora for a walk. I jumped in the shower, after promising Bish I'd be up early today to chat with him, then headed out to hang out with shawna for the first time in like five months.
Dave picked us up at the mall, ran a couple errands and then headed back to her place to play with her dog and get ready for the boys to come home.
I was surprised to see her baby belly and how (despite how close she is to her due date) happy and relaxed she was, and yah it is her third, but EVERY woman gets a bit frazzled towards the end.
Tico (her new chihuahua) is fucking hilariously adorable, even when he plays shy, and his little prancing reindeer leaping had me in stitches all night.
All in all I love hanging out with Shawna and her family, I adore her boys and Dave is such a good man.
-looks at shawna- lucky bitch. but you deserve someone like him after those first two ....:P
With 53 days left to go until my trip to oklahoma, my mind has been wrapped around the details of planning, prepping and packing for my trip, I have no suitcase (FUCK) and I've been frantically trying to figure out what I should do with my piercings, do I leave the metal studs in? take the metal ones out for plastic ones? Do I leave them in and wait to be asked to remove them? (all options I'd frankly not do) and I think I'm going to settle on getting plastic studs for my nipples and leaving the rest in. -shrugs-
The one thing that has me worried the most is the weather, I know I won't be cold but I don't want to pack for summer either. I've been doing alot of looking online and it comes down to me packing like the day before I leave for OKC.
I am getting very very excited though. Everyday brings me closer to this awesome experience!
(honestly now, I was twice as excited about meeting Bish, THAT was huge, I waited four years to meet him and our week together was fucking awesome)
DSG keeps telling me about places he wants to take me, like along the Paseo (the name of the art district), The Myriad Gardens, along the canal in Bricktown to the jazz bars, I asked him about the fair grounds he lives uber!close too, and there are horse stables there, so I want to DEFINITELY check those out, cause as a girl, I love horses. I want to go pay a visit to the bombing memorial and of course, I REALLY want to see his dogs and play with Jethro and Leona (his dogs).
The one thing I've been kicking myself in the ass about is my departure time on the 15th. My plane leaves at 6:45 am, which means I have to be at the airport at 4:30 ish.
A.M.
Go Yve.
So. I need to call a cab and have them pick me up at 4ish, check in and go through security and nap in the waiting area before my plane starts taking passengers on.
Thank the gods there is a tim hortons at the airport.
I arrive at O'Hare around 7:45 am, where I transfer flights, and I leave again by 9:45 to arrive in OKC at 11:50 am, which means, I'll be with with the DSG by noon. YAY!
I'll be in OKC for two weeks. -GRINS-
Yah, I want you to know I'm going to be talking about this alot.
BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
OKLAHOMA!!!
w00t!

Non Art Blog Or Yvil Does Oklahoma
So much to the dismay of my OH so many viewers, this is a non art blog.
SHOCK!
Why? Cause I art lazy and haven't inked anything in a couple of days. HAH! Mostly because I've been working in my key art times and I"M TOO FUCKING EXCITED TO DRAW!!!
I'M GOING TO OKLAHOMA!!!
March 15th- 30th I'm going to be in the south...western state kicking it back okie style with teh D.S.G.
I went in today and booked my flight, and got my travel artinary and total for my round trip tickets, and tomorrow I go in and confirm all everything and pay for my tickets.
Which gives me just under two months to save up for spending money and do my taxes and book the time off work and get my pets taken care off and try not to flip out.
Iregardless I'm bouncing off the walls.
YAY ME!!
bwt first international flight by myself. Oh yah ladies and gents, yvil is rocking it adult style. whatwhat.
