king procrastinator right here
the show went really well i’ve got to say. relatively small turnout (the number sitting somewhere in the forties), but i can’t complain. it was nice to get up and play in front of people again; even nicer to play bass at a show again. spent my whole day yesterday in the halifax/dartmouth area. helped brandon’s dad move his motorcycle, picked up my new camera (a 35mm minolta), sold my mini fridge, had breakfast/lunch with brandon, and hung out with the guys in the band prior to the show.
when i finally got home last night i was majorly pooped and so happy just to be able to lay down in my bed and pass out… ended up sleeping for about 11 hours which was very nice.
i will admit that i have done basically no packing/sorting since i’ve moved back home. i’m hoping to jump on that today, but who knows what will happen? i’m building a bookshelf with my dad today, so the sorting will more than likely come after that.
“the intruder” opens this friday. i’m really excited, but at the same time nervous; comes with the territory i guess, but i’m just really hoping this turns out to be as spectacular as i have been seeing it in my head.
time to have a coffee and enjoy my sunday morning.

super combo finish
day of two or two consecutive days off this week. this feels good, and i’ve been pretty production i have to say. yesterday i changed the tires on my car, had rehearsal for “the intruder”, figured out costuming for the show, moved out of residence, got most of stock trading stuff worked out, and had a great breakfast at 11 pm courtesy of meal hall.
today i slept in about an hour later than i had wanted to, did some banking stuff, and was supposed to go to my room inspection for residence… i’m a tool though and accidentally left my car’s lights on, so my battery died in the petro-can parking lot, and i had to search for a boost. by the time i got out of there i was amazingly late, and had to get going to band practice.
first show with the band this weekend in windsor and i’m excited to say the least. we’ve got our shit together which is really good to have when going in for our first show. to top it off, we have an eight or nine song set which helps out greatly.
tonight will be devoted to unpacking things from residence, sorting things, figuring out what i’m going to sell/give to charity, and hopefully be able to spearhead packing for my move next week. it seems like where my busy school life stopped, my busy personal life has picked up, but i’m not complaining… would rather have errands to run than sit around on my ass eating pogos to pass the time.
found a wicked band on tobi vail’s (drummer from bikini kill) blog: “explode into colors” from portland. check them out at http://www.myspace.com/explodeintocolors
they’re just what i needed tonight. this is good organizing music.
let’s get ‘er done.

i know you’re itching to hear from me
minifest was hectic but rewarding. i’m just getting over the most sleepless three weeks of my life so far, but i’m pretty pleased with what i’ve been able to accomplish. the year is wrapping up and while i’m glad i have four and a half months to kick back a little bit, i am definitely going to miss the theatre company, and cannot wait until september rolls around.
rehearsals for “the intruder” are going well. we’re off book really, really soon (like this friday soon). here’s hoping all goes smoothly. i feel like i have a really short time frame, but considering what i’ve seen done this past school year, it seems like i have all of the time in the world.
i’ve been kind of building a list of goals for the summer break in my mind. currently i’m looking to:
- figure out how to do, and make a camera obscura (better yet, turn my apartment next year into one)
- learn to play the ukulele (since i have one kicking around)
- go to montreal as i’ve been planning on doing for a while now
- write more, draw more
- actually put away some money
- go to mushaboom… finally (i’ve been taking about it for way too long now)
- rock the holga as much as possible
i don’t know if i had mentioned this, but my holga 135 came in and i love the little beast. she comes everywhere with me and never complains a bit
goal for this weekend: catch up on sleep and do my world religion reading. i’m going to go work on one of those right now… the one that doesn’t involve reading
