OMG I want 5 pounds of you...

So the one year binge I was on has come to a SCREECHING halt...

see the tempered....albeit not very accurate photo depiction on one TENTH of what we [as in me and my friends] spent the last ummmm one or two YEARS doing.. ughh...[also the reason I'm now on gluten free blah blah blah blah and almond milk or some shit..

and of course the famous shot of me enjoying my birthday champagne ALL to myself...

so for these many reasons i have taken a leave of absence from the many bars, pubs, and restos I would frequent where one glass turned into many and the rep for being a party animal was created..trust me folks this has NOT served me well at work..no matter that when i'm sick I'm REALLY SICK.. but if you peeps what the bubonic then I'll come..and I'll leave all my many snot rags lying around..my desk will turn into a pharmacy ...and you'll eventually succumb to whatever virus, bacteria, mutant strain of infection I have and then we'll ALL be sorry ass miserable fucks together.

could I be back...

i may be..i have done quiye a lot recently..just don't know if i can be bothered to write it out AGAIN ughhh.. we'll see..
later

i talk out loud like you're still around...

Today I am coughs, chips, chocolate and vicks. Yep - I've decided that b/c I'm so sick I can't taste anything that I get to eat WHATEVER I want.

and can I say - SCORE..on the Miss Vickie's Old Cheddar and Red Onion and kudos to Dutch Crunch for wicked burning sea salt and malt vinegar.

Am I the only one that needs a soundtrack too the daily in and outs of life? for instance - I went to write today and went through three different artists before I settled on someone I could write too. It was almost like everything else was too happy or fast or distracting. anyways - I settled on Counting Crows - August & Everything After.



Can I just say WOAH right now. for those who know me...know my story...you'll know that before he even SINGS this song has already linked to a relevance in my life...and I was in love with this song BEFORE i made that move..that leap into independance.

Once again people - it is proven that music is relevance...it's life..life is music, sounds, tones, melodies, chords, tunes, being out of tune..it just is. meh. whatevs.

so the first video is from Peter Morn [Peter, Bjorn and John] and represents what I missed last night cause I was holed up with a wicked massive cold that has only progressively gotten worse as my day has worn on and on and on and on and on.

my meds kicked in. I'm done for now.

The things I have been up to..in no particular order

I'm not even really sure to start with everything that's been going on - what I do know is that if you haven't heard of this band than you need to get out more.

So first off I need to thank The Musebox for setting up this amazing series of events called Beautiful Noise [not Beautiful Music as Gareth stated during the show with People in Planes]...woah SOLID segue. So Sunday April 6th The Musebox graciously accepted my rsvp to attend the taping with People in Planes [PIP]. A band that Yvonne Matsell [El Mo] turned me on to a few years back when they played Toronto but because I hadn't realized that a supplementary bar job downtown is WAY better than in Etobicoke - I MISSED THE SHOW.

That my friends is one of the worst forms of punishment for a chick like me. Knowing about a band, obsessing about the band, emotionally responding to them and than being unable to get to the show.


Did you watch this?



Did you go STRAIGHT to their myspace..cause dude if you didn't ur pretty much dead inside. Yep - there it is..just gonna put that out there for ya. These guys are from Wales...and I know that pretty much anything out of the UK is pred-disposed to kicking ass BUT these guys are from Wales. WAY different ladies and gentlmen. The Welsh and the English are a whole different breed from each other.


I digress... So the Musebox did these crazy tapings that you can watch one day soon I'm sure...just don't be jealous that I got to see it first.

Who knows - maybe you'll see my face and be all "fuck maybe next time Gill texts me to be somewhere I SHOULD GO!! [raymi] just sayin.

So we get to the show [with polkaroo in attendance in you can believe it!] and immediately head for some Steamwhistles. Amanda and Chris are with us and amen cause Chris knows the band from being on tour with them AND he knows the booker/mgr of Berkeley Church so we gets the grand tour - including the TREEHOUSE - a little bit of cottage heaven in a concrete world.

I'm not going to rant about how amazing the show was - i don't need any haters and we all know how jealousy can twist even the truest admirer.

I have an appt. I'll be back.

interruption

k...so this post has nothing to do with the continuation to the SXSW post I KNOW I've got coming..STILL...I'm at a friends house..and I'm on a MAC..that means I don't actually know what to do for a lot of the punctuation. oh wait. i just stopped thinking and let my fingers react to the keyboard and apparently I DO know the proper key strokes.

so deal with the fuck ups. deal with my misspells. fuck it. if you want to give me $2000 i'll buy a fuckin MAC BUT until than you can deal with all the shit that comes from a PC user struggling in unknown territory.... FYI - MACs are NOT easier.. or cooler...well maybe the commercials are.

So not sure if you're aware but I work at a bar. yep. i work Mon to Fri at NXNE and than I work at a bar. s'alright I guess. we're all friends. money's cool. music 90% solid.  

you know what - fuck it. Now's not the time to write this shit. 'll be back. suffice it to say Lindsey has the best dog voice. Bailey is the smartest dog. and it's 4am and I'm knackered.
