Night Caps

So the idea was to give Jessica a ride home, and on the way to stop into Crush for a night cap. The idea was not to go to Crush and spend a lot of cash. The idea was not for Ryan, Wayne and Cory to come and put drinks on my tab. Like I said the idea was to chill with Jessica over a glass, or two....two tops. But as you guessed that is not what happened lol. Instead, Jessica, Chris (Jess' friend from work, and the Dj we went to see last friday), and I went to Crush, ate and drank a bottle of Yellow label, followed by another two half litres of Yellow Label (Ouch). Tappers, Cory and Wayne also blew in like the wind, and when I went to pay the tab, there were like six extra drinks on my tab (wonder where they came from lol). But that is ok, dont sweat the small stuff, and its all small stuff, right......right. Well I got a lot of shopping done last night, so basically I am broke again. Walmart was a success, cupboards are flush with food again. I also went to Winners and got some new pants, but the hems wont be ready till friday so I didnt even get to wear either of them today. I also stopped into Sears and got a shirt and a Sweater. And believe it or not I found a cool christmas present for my mom, which means I am ahead of the game bigtime, even if I am broke lol. Oh ya and I also put my Tux on Layaway, so hopefully if my end of month bills are not too crazy I will be able to pay it off and pick it up in time for installation. Lodge is going well, it looks like Karl wants Ryan and I to resurrect the Zetland Players. I guess back in the day a bunch of the guys used to travel around to different Lodges and put on a play which is based on the Masonic Trials during the Inquisition, as part of R&E. It sounds pretty cool. We will be picking up a couple scripts on Thursday, so I will let you know more about that one as it plays out, no pun intended. I got a letter from Trafford yesterday, no cheque lol, other than that first little bit of sales things are pretty much flat with the book, which is good I guess. I am thinking I am not going to publish the edited version, the cost is just too much and I would rather put the money toward the one I am working on now, and I do have higher hopes for it. Mainly because I am writing it with a particular demographic in mind, which will make marketing much simpler. I also found out that publishing the second one will be 25% cheaper than the first, which is really good. The first one was definatly a learning experience, and and expensive experience at that. Other notes on the writing front, I have registered my websites, still havn't set them up, but I now own www.iannewman.ca and www.iannewman.org. My buddy Longfellow from Lodge (also a writer) owns an internet company called The Wired Web and he will be helping me get everything set up when the time comes, probably in spring. Lets see, what else. Oh Kelly is finally in a supervised medical detox in Vancouver. She has been in since last week, and will hopefully be there until the 22nd. They want her to stay, so they can get her off that xanax or whatever it is called. As far as I am concerned those fucking doctors should be doing time. I mean when people are trying to kill themselves because they are taking the drugs you prescribed them, what does that make you. But hey, I guess it keeps a larger group from actually looking at there lives and saying, "Hey maybe I dont want to work in this cubicle, and thats why I am depressed"no no it couldnt be that, here take some drugs go back to work, and everything will be ok. Just keep chucking those poor souls into the economic furnace there doc. Not like there the ones paying your salary, right doc, Phizer does that, right doc. Sorry for that rant, anyway her mom will be in Vancouver when she gets out I guess, and then she will be in a sort of halfway house from the beginning of September until she goes into rehab in January. The Aurora program is suppose to be one of the best, so hopefully she will get better. I hope she gets better. On the work front the second bay is finally cleaned out, and the guys will be moving everything over during the next couple of days. It is gonna be great having the shop back to normal. It will also give us the chance to organize everything, and put some new procedures into place. Well I should get back to work, caio
