- Overheard on the #1 South Keys bus

Finally made it to Ollies last night. Not too bad at all. They played rock and not techno and all that assorted crap that usually gets played at bars. I definately didn't make it to my 8:30 class this morning.

I dyed my hair, it looks pretty freakin boss, although I already miss my normal hair. But whatever... it's only hair and it will grow back eventually.

Jimmy Swift Band is playing downtown tonight. I had no idea and I'm pissed because I really would have like to have gone. My liver and my bank account will be happy that I won't be attending however.

DAL application = done.
SMU application(I know... its like my back up, back up...) = on the way
MSVU application = will be done this weekend.

It's happening man... even though i keep waiting for something to come along and ruin it all. That's a pretty negative way of looking at things though, but whatev.. it will all work out fine

PS. I am listening to Freebird and eating jellybeans... jealous?

I was walking home the other day and I could hear a train in the background. This reminded my of Sunday Driver- Buck 65
and then I thought, wouldn't things be so much better if there was a running soundtrack all the time?

500 Channels and nothing to watch

This is the last time i do my homework a day early. I thought that if I accomplished a whole bunch yesterday i could just waste today away. Which realy, wasn't a bad idea. Except that Sunday TV sucks, MSN is down, I have no money, and absolutely NO work to do. I mean I guess I could read ahead, but then what am I going to do the rest of the week?
I need a hobby. Or a job...

So last night. I broke my own record by drinking an entire bottle of wine in about.. I dunno, 20 minutes? Not even. Way to go.

I was hammered, as usual. My friends had to catch up and I made an ass of myself. Woo. Who knocks their own full drink into their lap? I mean honestly... Only I would be able to do that.

Anyway.. random people random times. It should be a self-confidence boost yet it really isn't. This routine is getting pretty tired

In other news..

I've been listening to a lot of... raunchy(?) music lately? Not on purpose, I've just been downloading all this new music and then noticing that a lot of the songs are really raunchy. For example, Instant Pleasure- Rufus Wainwright, Jealous of your Cigarette- Hawksley Workmen, and My Favourite Underware- Liz Phair

Good times on the playlist of me.

Ps. If you ever get the chance to go see Cuff the Duke live, I cannot stress enough how much you should go do that. They're one of those bands that's way better live than on their CD. Anyway that's my 2 cents for the day.

Pretty Girls with Pretty Hair Cuts...

WOAH! SO much awesome.
Joel Plaskett Concert tonight. Let me just take a minute.


Ok.

Despite the fact that it was sub-zero in the building, it was an amazing show. The 2 opening bands were really good which is pretty rare, I really enjoyed them. The first was called Two Hour Traffic, they're from PEI, if you ever have the chance to check them out i highly recommend it. Then there was Cuff the Duke from Oshawa ON. They were frickin amazing. The last song they did the lead guitarist played his guitar with a bow. They reminded me of a cross between Godspeed You Black Emperor and like... the Mellowtones from Halifax? Weird sound, amazing band. I bought their CD. But then. THEN my friends, Mr. Plaskett himself came on.... woah dude.

First song they played was Work Out Fine, which was awesome. By the time JPE took the stage the crowd was pratically chanting Joel! Joel! Joel!
Among the other stuff they played: Radio Fly, Down at the Khyber, You came Along, Red Light, Joel played a solo acoustic version of True Patriot Love. They played an encore, first song was from the new album wich Joel did solo and acoustic again, it was called The reason that I Love this Town, which was dedicated to Halifax and was so cool. Definately made me homesick. They also played Come on Teacher which was pretty tight...
Man.. anyway all in all, well worth the price to see them.
And now to bed. Since it's frickin freazing and I cannot feel my toes. Thank you and Goodnight.

So I'm skipping yet another class, really just because I don't particularly want to go, you dig?


Uhm.... anyway I'm really bored..
Ok then.

What's With Today, Today?

So this Week eh? A total waste. The last week of school days, I have attended 2 classes, 1 was just presentations, so I didn't really need to be there.

I just.don't.care.

About school, about learning, about grades about anything academic. I want summer, I want a job, I want money. As much as I want to have an exact repeat of last summer, I know that if I live at home and do the same job that my expectations will not be met. Expectations always fall short it seems. Last summer was like *the* summer. The one that will always be remembered as one of the standout memories of a lifetime.

Whatever, either way this summer should be one to remember as well if all goes according to plan.

Speaking of the plan, the weight of it is starting to set in. 4 more months- not even- and then on to something completely new... Once again..
But then I think that, do i really want to start afresh again? I have friends here, but then again I have friends there too. I am not myself here, I lack the confidence that I have when I am at home. I don't feel appreciated here, I feel accomidated... sometimes.
Not in a negative way, I love my friends and I (think) that they feel the same. Despite the complaints, I generally have an awesome time here whenever there's a happenens a' happening.

Speaking of which, Joel Plaskett on Friday night. I've waited like, I dunno... 8 years to finally see this guy live? That might be an exaggeration, but I've been listening to his music for a hell of a long time.

Speaking of cool stuf from Halifax, http://overheardinhalifax.blogspot.com check it out. It's a good idea. Maybe I will start an overheard in Ottawa....

Ps. I like Bob Dylan a lot lately.

Numero Uno

In an attempt to actually write down stuff instead of just thinking about it, I'm going to do it up. Not that I think I have anything particularly pressing to write down, but really, who decides that one anyway. In the run of a day, a lot of random things happen to a person when they're out and about. Living in a big city makes these things occur more frequently I find. So maybe I'll write about those things, and maybe I won't. Who's to say.
