Ouch

Saturday night I was home in the C-bridge. I hung out with friends and got rip-roaringly drunk. It was a good time, so being the idiot I am I had to find a way to ruin it. Later, as we walked Tania home, Marshall and I decided to torment Tim. After heckling and pushing and various whatnotery, I jumped on Tim for an unannounced ride (no homo). Bad idea. He stumbled around, shouting "Get off, Marshall" for a bit, then the two of us tumbled to the sidewalk.

As far as I know, Tim was uninjured but I seem to have landed quiet forcefully on my side and now my ribs are a-killing me. Hopefully I didn't break anything.

Despite how much it hurts to sit, or breathe or do anything really, I went to see the KW Symphony the next day because the Youth Symphony, which Julia is in, was joining in for the final piece of the concert. It was quite good, though I was sitting next to a man that was older than the music. He kept playing with his program and making strange sounds and chewing nothing and emanating his old man smell. The audience was easily 65 for 65. By which I mean 65% retirees. I'm fairly certain there were more pacemakers in the auditorium than natural hips.

Even though the old-man stench was worse than anything I could imagine even Nick could produce, I've decided what I'd like to do for my birthday. I want to go to Roy Thompson Hall to hear the Toronto Symphony Orchestra perform Mozart's Requiem. I know, that's a slightly morbid plan for a birthday celebration, but I can't think of much I'd rather do for $12 (assuming the youth discount is available).

Keep on Tranglin,
Anthony

and since i just had to research when you birthday is, i decided that you should move to australia because the next day will always be a public holiday that you can use to cure your hangover.

Happy Nick, picking on the vocabulary and editing skills of someone in constant pain?

I'd love to Loz, but you see, I already have Fridays off,and I think getting to Australia might cost a bit more than $12. I do appreciate your mad research skillz though.
