Spontaneously delivering a sardonic, epic two-minute rant-down against the entitled bell-end harassing the transit driver. Okay, the bus is a minute from showing up. He's bitching about how he pays taxes and pays a government worker's wages (Bollocks; He was griping ten minutes before that on his cell at a social service worker, in front of everyone in line), how his civil rights are being violated, et-cetera and ad nauseum, cue entitlement grousing. The bus is now a minute late. Whatever, I planned ahead for up to fifteen minutes delay, late happens. He's still using the transit line as a captive audience. Three minutes, he's still at it. Four minutes, the bus arrives, loads in an orderly fashion, and he halts the line to berate the driver. This'll earn a "Stow it!" from me, and a terse request to move aboard or get out of the way. He boards. Then he makes the mistake of carrying on once actually aboard the bus. Cue browbeating that lasts from 29th to Kingsway, which has the driver grinning like a madman up front, and everyone on the bus snickering or smirking at the entitled fellow now making fish-jaw motions while trying to retreat into his windbreaker. "...And would you kindly stop hoarding our bloody oxygen with pointless, passive-aggressive bloviation?"

Felt like a dick, but it was worth it. Transit drivers don't deserve that nonsense.

We need more people like you.  :) Especially against the folks that wouldn't move aside when there's a km-stretch of free standing space behind them from the first exit door.

Tomorrow morning's my final final exam. After that...school's out!  :D

I thought that my cat could use the company of another cat when I am gone... so I got a kitten today. I haven't named her yet. She is so cute and waddled around my room for a bit. Now she is sleeping in front of my TV. Kevin needs to get used to her now. They hissed at each other for a bit, but they will accept each other soon enough.

Awww...she's cute.  :-3


Done with exams! Now to pack shit up!

I like it when people can be dicks while doing good. Its the most entertaining thing ever. Half the time the only thing general assholes understand is when they get a taste of it back that takes them down a few pegs.

Hosted a small gathering last night. Very good company, excellent food, the chance to share my mixology, and a fine night spent in the warm glow of it all. Sure, I've underslept slightly, I'm gently hung over, and will probably be eating the leftovers for a week to come. Damned if I care about the trivialities! It was a fine night, and I need more of them like that!

On a related note, try this one some day, boys and girls; I haven't named this drink yet, created it while experimenting on a whim last night. For those of you over 19, it's quite the tasty, gently spicy mix:

4 ounces of very strong-brewed chai tea, ideally still hot.
1/2 ounce Jagermeister
1 ounce of Irish Cream (Used Carolan's this go-around; Personally prefer it to Bailey's)
1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk (The Vietnamese coffee stuff works best; Look for it in international foods at Stupidstore or your local Asian market).

Put the condensed milk in a small coffee mug first, pour the hot tea over it, mix well, then add the liquors.

The Richmond night market opens for the summer next week Friday night. I'm so excited, I love the night market!

The food is extraordinary. There's such a variety of strange exotic oriental dishes, and there are always one or two new vendors every year. I've never found anywhere else in the city that sells bbq squid, I've only ever eaten it at the night market. Also you can get all the fun out of a fancy dim-sum restaurant here for %10 of the cost. They have sticky rice, curry fish balls, sui-mai, tripe, sushi, and all manner of bbq'ed animal carcass. :9
