HOT/NOT
HOT: My new haircut.
NOT: My new phone.
Haaate. More on that.
HOT: Heirloom tomatoes, $2 a pound.
NOT: Dragonfruit, super-bland. Overripe?
HOT: Makin’ muffins. Yum.
(Alex took that shot, and he took a second one because it was off-centre, but I think that the way they’re reflected against my pot is cool.)
NOT: How my phone broke and I could buy a new cheapo phone from Fido for less than it would cost to get it fixed. Unfortunately, it was aforementioned ugly-ass phone.
HOT: Homemade Indian food: we made rogan josh (a little liquidy, but tasty) and raita.
NOT: Whimsically stocked Loblaw’s didn’t appear to have PC brand naan, which we’ve been led to believe actually tastes like naan.
HOT: Tickets for Camera Obscura! In July!
NOT: Fido’s stupid policy of not letting you buy the cheapo phone using your “Fido dollars” in store, but shipping it to your house. By UPS. Which attempts delivery 3 times during business hours, then makes you go get your stuff. Fido’s customer service policy is apparently “pawn people off on the first available person, even if you have to tell them total utter lies, like that you should call UPS without a tracking number.”
HOT: We went to Cinematheque for Zizek! this weekend. It was pretty great. It was only playing this weekend, but if you like our man Slavoj, it’s definitely a good time. Affectionate, but not fawning.
NOT: Stupid World Cup. Stupid flags and stupid honking and guy who stopped his car in traffic to retrieve a fallen plastic flag. I just don’t get it.
Smoking HOT: Rachel! Coming! Here! Two days! Yay!

YAYAYAY!
Hot haircut. You are yoinking all haircut and retail luck, damn you!
Homemade Indian? I am intrigued!
Cell phone companies are evil. I finally shloved off Bell, of the “We’ll keep mentioning how calls are monitored to ensure customer service, and will offer everything under the sun to keep you from leaving… except bend our rules, so that we trade $150 to make you get a new phone, instead of letting you extend your contract early and give you a discount on that phone, and make you feel stupid for even suggesting it, both in person and via the customer service email, so we ergo traded over $3000 in contracted monthly billing to make you buy a $150 phone” brand of customer service. Bell = assholes.
World Cuppers. In some ways? Endearing. In many ways? SHUT UP. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP IT’S A GAME. God, I can only imagine what it’s like in Europe right now; I was in France/Spain during the ‘98 Cup, and man. CRAZYNESS.
OMGI’LLBETHERESOSOON. EEEEEEEK!

If you’ve been a customer of Fido’s long enough you’ll have accumulated some “Fido dollars” which you can put toward the purchase of a new phone. After almost 2 years Bren had about $100 I think–she still had to pay tax. You can call customer service or go to a Fido store to see how much you have (or is it even on your bill?)
