rabbit skeletons in the closet...

i've got some first world problems:

• i burnt the tandoori hashbrowns this morning because the wireless i steal from my neighbours was at one bar and it took me a long time to get through the bbc news
• the polaris music prize short list is a farce (seems it is quickly following in the steps of the mercury music prize) choosen by a bunch of want to be scenester hacks who are in their mid to late 30's and have put on a little to much weight... luckly they still have their designer thick brimmed glasses and ironic facial hair... seriously, im going to stop but what the fuck is that list
• i find it very hard to find good avocado's in this city, sigh...
• my eyes hurt from reading to much but my visine is at the office and i don't feel like getting up and walking over there (my car is low on gas so i would drive but i dont want to go out to the canadian tire on bath because its a little out of the way)
• there is a unreleased women track floating around somewhere with a really nice cello backing but i can't remember where i streamed it or found it...
• highlife seems to have changed thier band name to real eyes... this is not the problem, the problem is i can't stop listening to the track tuareg dancehall but can't find it anywhere to download so i have to listen to it off the myspace (seriously go listen it sounds like a stoned destroyer with an african/animal collective backing band http://www.myspace.com/highlifehighlife )
• some people i know did an online recipe exchange and i wasnt included, fucking culinary terrorists
• i saw three young men who, judging by the shirts i see them wearing almost every day, must be lumberjacks... yet, i cannot figure out how they can cut down trees when they are manorexic... fucking d-bag small town hipsters...
  
• i wish my thesis was moving quicker, i havnt been able to play guitar for more than an hour a day in weeks
• i miss playing croquette and drinking beer with friends back home, double sigh

these are my first world problems at the moment
