A working life.

Apologies for the lack of posting over the last, what is it, 14 days? I've been a busy working girl with days off few and far between.

EB Games is great, it's like working at Blockbuster but less corporate in all the ways that matter to me. I can dye my hair, there are no sales goals, and I still get to do the things I love (like making the walls all alphabetical). Also, the tills are super easy to use and I'm working with video games. My boss and assistant boss are great and fun to work with -- though there are a few incompetent employees that I'm not especially fond of.

Aaron made Valentines Day perfect. I got it off from both jobs which was great. We woke up late, I made breakfast for us and then we did nothing for a bit (oh except sex, we certainly did that). Then he took me downtown for dinner at The Matahari Grill (which was amazing). We wandered downtown for a bit and ended up in a sex store which was awesome and I won't list any details of the rest of the night...

He's started playing Kingdom Hearts which makes me very happy -- I enjoy watching him playing a game I've always been very fond of.

What else?

I saw Watchmen yesterday with some film reps and my boss at the Fox. It was alright but I came out of it slightly disappointed and tired. It's very long sitting at almost three hours. The acting is not great, and they changed some things that I really wish they would have left alone. Bubastis is in it though (not red) and that made me smile, I love that cat. I did sit down and re-read the whole thing the day before though and I wouldn't recommend that to anyone who is planning on seeing it. Other than that it had a great soundtrack that I wouldn't mind picking up (or downloading). Oh and Rorschach and The Comedian were spot on.

I think that's enough for now. I'll try to keep updating regularly (or at least once a week) when I'm not bogged down with working at two jobs I love.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the AWESOME dessert from Dmitri's after everything else.

Short and sweet.

I don't know if I've mentioned it yet -- but Aaron and I have an apartment! Like, signed the lease and everything.
It certainly needs some fixing up and a fresh coat of paint, but it's big and it has a backyard (for gardening which I am SO excited about). Now it's just the packing and carrying lots of heavy boxes part. I can't wait to paint and make it into a home for us. It's going to be perfect... and I know this because Aaron will be there with me, so even if it was falling apart it would be amazing.

Just a small update tonight. I must go hide under the covers and get warm.

Continued excitement and a little sappy.

So, I talked to Neil (my roommate) this morning re: living with Aaron. He seems to be okay, and I hope he's not just putting on a brave face about it. The timeline is set to February -- although, we'll be getting together and talking about it on Wednesday. And, February seems so far away. I wish it was tomorrow... but that would be jerky of me, and also, wouldn't give me much time to pack.

But! This is not why I wanted to post tonight.

I wanted to post tonight because I have no stopped thinking about Saturday night and how absolutely fantastic it was. So, here I am about to go into more depth...

We were woken up on Saturday morning by two little (adorable) munchkins jumping on us, which was followed by delicious pancakes and morning drinks at my brothers (by morning drinks, I of course mean beer. No, just kidding. Coffee and tea). Then Dave (the brother of mine) drove us back to Aaron's place -- where Aaron and I went straight back to bed until noon or possibly later. In between then and seven (when we left) we did stuff like... you know, have sex. He played on the internets for a bit and I played an awful lot of Sudoku.

Then we headed downtown to watch Repo! Which mostly meant standing in line until the show had started. I hooked Aaron up with a free VIP pass (because I work in the industry) and sent him on his way -- which caused the other people in line to tell me that I was a fantastic girlfriend. He watched the movie and I browsed a used record store (right beside the theatre).

When the movie ended we just walked. We walked around the downtown a little (and through the Annex on our way to Queen). We window shopped and held hands and he tried to keep me warm. It was just this perfect night... that is apparently hard for me to explain. But... in the end, it has kept me smiling for at least two days now.

And... I have to stop. I could talk about Aaron until my laptop runs out of power (and longer if there was anyone left to listen).

I hope that everyone else has had a good weekend too!
