marc & crissandra---you have until around 1:30 p.m. tomorrow (monday) to find me and pay my dad back.
i should be home.

i have a huuuge headache. :(

went to a bbq last nite and ate waaaaaay too much.

oh, and yes, cam--i posted the squarepusher show. the dude who's helping me does the vancouver/victoria listings. but i just found another person to help me w/ t-dot shows, so i'm gonna do montreal now, i guess.

marc, im going to the BBQ thing.
liz wanted to know if wasaga was an option for it =p
haha

stina beans,
i wasn't paying attention to okeydokes.blogspot.com .... mind you i just saw about squarepusher playing there.
i wanna see them. did you find that show or the other person?
it was good i looked up the toronto street fest info myself so i could learn the times and see the non-listed acts like The Salads and Toronto Symphany Orchestra. haha mel doane.

i think Finding Forrester has grown to become one of my fave movies. i always liked it but find it addicting to watch everytime i see it on TV.

i went to Niagra Falls last nite with liz and her friend Melica. It wasn't a long drive (we made it there in pretty much a hour). The streets were crowded and the falls looked nice. Funniest moment was in a slow moving line a show Mel coughed and said she had sars. I replied with, "i'ts ok, i have west nile". Then the lady infront of us spun around with a worried look and told mel she should have that checked out. we both quickly said we were joking but then i pointed at mel and said she's from Toronto. then liz came in missing most of what happened and making Mad Cow jokes. poor american lady. we didn't do much else on the trip but we went to Golden Gridle for pancakes and eggs. latest i have ever had breakfest meal and 1st time i have had beer with it. =p
an odd sight was a rusted out big sale ship we saw of the QEW not too far beyond hamilton.

A new place to plan outings. The Orange Room message board created by liz. Your all welcome, starting with tonights movie nite at liz's. The next step from a boo-yeah/no blog *l*

uhoh...marc, when did you send in your hillside app? you still haven't received a membership card, right? i think you might be on the waiting list...shiiite...

cam, i'm pretty sure i posted about that toronto streetfest thing weeks ago. and you definitely haven't been paying attention to okeydokes.blogspot.com

anyway, tonic is asianland. nobody warned me about this. they tried to make me sign up for some VIP card where i can get in for free the next time i go, but i refused. mainly 'cause i'm never going back. sorry. ;P

yeah, i've been noticing the insane harry potter mania. they even have a huge display up at the campus bookstore. i haven't even read the 2nd book yet. :D i find it funny that there is an "adult" cover as well. i read this column in NOW mag about the craze, and it was greaaaat. the dude compared hp books to drugs. i think he's right!

i really want to take this mathematics and poetry course that they only offer every other year, and you have to be a third year student or higher to take it, so next year is the only chance i have to do it. i'm going to try begging the prof to let me in.

marc and crissandra--you have about 2.5 more days to pay my dad back for WS tix... :)

marc, when my parents went away last year my mom cried when she saw i killed her plant.
oops

im thinking about doing an impulse roadtrip.
well liz and i spoke about it last night as we walked out of tonic with stina. niagra falls?

i havent quite paid attention to what has been going in toronto today.

alive and well, alive and well dear friends,sippin' on my coffee and feeling loved "Jesus Murphy, Cgal, where the heck are you! Speak up. ;) " oh, count on you my beloved crissy;) i'm here and speaking up for you;) (psst. i love you;)
i've been at joels pretty much all week long. lounging..it's been the most beautiful feeling. such peace really-to isolate myself from the hustle of everyday life (aka the dreadful mall where i unfortunately work) and being comfortable and relaxed away from it all. //sigh
and may i confess an awful secret? i'm craving school. i know i've confessed this before, but it's a mad craving now. sick, isn't it? i'm ashamed of myself. i want to indulge in history and get lost in books and readings. title me a nerd, a geek, i know it. underneath it all i'm a bookworm,glasses wearing g e e k.
christinathat's awful about your courses...did you get into anything you wanted? keep attempting to add courses, you may be lucky, there's hope!! and it makes me mad as well-you put it correctly "a mad scramble" for courses. it's frustrating. there you are, actually W A N T I N G to learn something and you're being denied that one pleasure. that one thing that'll make you enjoy school. that was me last year, although i never attempted to get into other courses so my advice-NEVER STOP TRYING until you can't any longer!!
alright so i'm off for now.
if there are any books that any of you think would be a good read, let me know. minus the harry potter stuff, nothing against it really, it's just not for me;)

love, sugar and coffeebeans;)
c g a l xxx

i've heard of jason palma and john kong. they're movement regulars. actually, i think they helped found it or something.

what movie are you watching, marc?? i wanna visit high park!

wtf, stone tickets sold out?
i was able to find 5 tickets at 5. i waited an hour for my dad to come from work with his credit card and now they are gone. boo urns.
well i did have both my jobs that day =p
...and i kinda wanna volunteer this a bit. special events might be what i wanna do in life.

stina beans, your a bum (but one who got WS tickets). i'm not going to be surly.. im 'just sure or certain'.

marc, your movie plan sounds pretty good.

clubs appear rather crappy tonight. i don't like the guvernment on friday and everything else i eye seems not right.

which appears to be OK.
i had a buch of movement flyers b4 that had free admission. next friday i can get free guest list.
*wonders if that's really worth 10 bucks*

una mas, is having a party for the older folks tonight. no thanks.

i checked out manhattans aswell, they are having a jazz nite but no dance music.

*purchases ROLLINGS STONES tickets and thinks about roxy + movie*

hahhahahahhaa...you're gonna be surly, cam? then i'm not sure i wanna go. :D

we got an essay extension!!!!! ALLELUIA!!!!! :))))

i will be surly going out tonight.... likely dancing.

clubs in my mind are Roxy, Splash, and Una Mas.
im gonna look into it after i watch a 24eppisode ;)
liz is in.
rach and stina appear open.

i saw the distillery district on tv but that was b4 it was opened. i didnt know it by title. i think a friend of mine works or has worked there.

this weekend the jazz fest?

wtf happened on eglington and credetiview this morning? road block. lot more female officers these days.

there is nothing wrong w/ doing things by yerself, ya know!
anyway, i honestly think that some of you don't read my posts anymore. i am here. as in not kingston.
why do you wanna go to much, rach?

you ppl don't read newspapers very much, do you? :D the distillery district is an area full of old factory-ish buildings btwn parliament and mill streets east of st. lawrence mrkt, and it's been renovated and whatnot and opened may 22 or something. it's a designated area for artists. there are apparently coffee shops, bars, art galleries and cobblestone walkways. :) here. they're gonna have a busker fair there soon. you guys should go.

i'd also like to visit the bata shoe museum, but that's on the other end of town.

hey cam, my bro taped the radiohead @ beacon 2$ bill show for me on mtv2. :)) they cut out a lot, like talk show host, a punchup at a wedding, everything in its right place...and thom's shout-outs to canada, but it's better than nothing, i guess.

oh yeah, and crissandra--you're mixing FX names up. :D the girl whose last name was woodhead was named kelly. the allisons had other surnames.

i feel like going out tonite. if you guys actually do anything, call me.

Ok. For the last week I've been sleeping 11 hour nights in a row. Buh?

For the last week I've been waking up at 1 in the afternoon and sleeping at 2 in the morning.

Word of the day: "jaunty". Use it at least once today, it'll make you feel tingly. And jaunty.

I was just reading my Coldplay newsletter (ha-ha) labelled "a note from Make Trade Fair". It went on, I read it, to the bottom where it was signed "Alison Woodhead, Campaign Co-ordinator" or whatever the title is. Didn't we have an Alison Woodhead go to our school?! Weird...!! I wonder if she's met Chris Martin yet...

I've also decided that Barry Egan (fictional character) from Punch-Drunk Love is my "soulmate" (using the term loosely).

Someone took an axe to the leg?! Ouch!

Jesus Murphy, Cgal, where the heck are you! Speak up. ;)

I can't sleep. I've been sleeping a solid 11 hours straight for the last week and now I'm afraid I've overdone it. Did that even make sense? I slept for 11 hours two nights in a row. Does that make sense? I re-read and re-read...that last one doesn't seem to make sense. Or the first one. The first one moreso.

i saw the italian job. not that bad of a movie. you can take the kids to it even *l*

stine, have a nice trip. becareful of marcin's friends. a girl i work with knows a guy that last weekend got drunk camping and miss swung an axe into his leg. it cut to the bone and there camping trip short.
remember to have fun :)

stina, do say what is the: distillery district of downtown? i could do a search but yeah... is it the beer buildings near the club buildings?

anyone going to see the STONES, ACDC, flaming lips, justin, guess who, etc?
im going to try get tickets when i get home from work. i dont think 200, 000 tickets would sell out in 6hrs would they?

FRIDAY.... ROXY BLU or UNA MAS???? some dancing... some place.

mraz is being played everywhere now. i think he's even broken onto TRL. yikes.

i'm back now. i think you're all out already though. oh well.

yes, so find me this weekend and pay me back so i can pay my dad back.

i really wanna check out this new distillery district downtown that i keep reading about. anyone else interested??

wanna watch a mindless movie tomorrow? i wouldn't mind seeing either sequel to legally blonde or charlie's angels.

haha spiffy marc, spiffy

i have been watching 24 (season 2) like crazy.
sad part is after one or 2 shows i feel like sleeping. its been just so hot and sunny.

stina, u get an applause again for the WS tickets.

my arm feels sore from twisting *l*

i think im gonna see a movie with liz. rented or mooooovie theatre. anyone else is invited aswell. maybe, just maybe plans could change to a club....

anyone feel like going away anwhere this weekend? i dont really care where, i have no plans.

Omg, you got tickets! Yay!! I'll pay you back when I see you again, hopefully this weekend I'll try to drop by with the money. Do you want it in cash? Food stamps? Lira?

Ooh, my bad. I realise as I open which magazine I'm reading that it's not Spin and that you're right. Sometimes I have a habit of reading 6 to 8 magazines at the same time. I'm a magazine fiend. But at least you have a Thom Yorke cover in your hands. Huh? *nudging* Huh? :)

From what I remember about the Hershey Centre, it was just one big open space. But at the Chem Bros we were close enough to catch one of the roadies' or artists' sweat towels. Mmmmm. I gave it to Cameron. Did we catch it, or was it given to us in mercy?

As I sat down in front of the computer I see some of my grad pics that were taken last week just lying around. Hello! Would anyone like to show them to me!? Silly parents.

Is it just me or does anyone else find Johnny Knoxville really, really hot?

holy shite i think the WS tix are sold-out already!!

justin timberlake and the flaming lips are also playing the toronto SARS concert at downsview. ooh. now i'm tempted. :D

i forgot to tell you guys about the free trial audioblogger.com thing. i signed up to do it, but i haven't really found an occasion to use my one phone call yet. maybe i shoulda used it in CT. oops.

i am SO ADDICTED to a punchup at a wedding.

ahh...my other blog's being moved. :( now i can't get to it. :(((

i have to put this here for now.

yes, but that doesn't mean he's not good on thurs as well. :Þ

mark oliver is there EVERY Saturday
it's his nite for the guv main room.

=p

marc, i hope u feel better soon
do u happen to have an extention bit for the tool i lent u?

but the music's mark oliver. he is cool.

stina, good job and thank you!!
i woke up at 4am this morning bc of the ticket thing bugging me *l*
thus the paranoid instructional blog =p. you posted 28 seconds b4 10.
@ 10:07am the edge played DLADG followed by 7nation to then announce they were on sale.
i just tried now to get 2 GA seats and i couldn't.
il pay ya sometime this weekend. anything left in tND fund? *l*

3 days ago marks a year ani since we saw the stripes in toronto.... and since i became a fan.

Although the hershey centre map shows sectioned off pens they normally do keep the entire floor open. when we saw the chemical brothers we were in the front row and centre. we got there early =p
this being mississauga is a huge advantage.

cliff, much will be airing OLP footage from 3 shows soon. i forget the date.

nora, but it looks like this:

=o)

as per the guv. i really am not interested in Hugo's fashion (it's not Nazi-like anymore) and red lable looks dry. the guv on thursdays appears to be meh. im up for hitting it on a saturday sometime... *wonder if i have passes*

ian the bassist is a liar. they are coming to toronto on aug. 28. the guvernment!

btw, does anybody wanna go tomorrow? this looks interesting...and i miss the rooftop.

whaddya mean how do you pay me, marc??
oh yeah, and you can take out $15 or whatever the dears tee cost from $43.50 since i still owe you for that.

nora, that was the beaches jazz fest we went to, not the TO one (although the beaches are in TO...yeeaah...). i still remember those employees at sound city. good-looking sales dudes everywhere. ;)

lol, Rach you're definitely the most enthusiastic. ;)

The Dears are on the cover of this week's Eye magazine. Christina, I still have some with the Stars on the cover from a few weeks ago that I'm saving for you unless you already have it.

No no Galine -- more love you to you. Maybe this will carry out until we both call the cops on each other, lol. And why? Who knows. It's now filed under "For Shits and Giggles". lol, "Call someone who cares!" *hands you phone* "Beep, beep-beep [9-1-1]"

Ahh, reading week.

think stina, cgal, stine are some of the ppl that watched it.
atleast from what i remember of blogger.

its pretty interesting.
"Male Muslim students across the country are being bussed individually to government centers for fingerprinting." has this been going on and do u know to what extent? i didnt follow the links.
the torture for information really never dissapeared (the school of america).
there are so many phone calls and emails that the more they search them the more likely they cant focus.

the ASSHOLE, where did u find the news?
i really need to look at our court laws and sentencing.
if this guy pushed my grandma down to rob her i would definetly kick his fricken ass. i wonder of those of the family of the deceased think about him. it would be interesting to use economic theory in measuring justice. im going to think to see if its applicable.

So I saw the LEAF game.
boy the boys played like crap. i think i booed and yelled at them more then cheered. a few close chances but it was pretty sad. i went out for diner before with my game to Joe Baladini's and it was great. good food, drink, and service. our seats were pretty nice. golds but the seats were still coloured red. we picked up a "wendy bear" for my baby cousin. daryl sittler signed it paw for us :)

as per info collecting. a search i did from cgals IP turned up someone (she believes her bro) searched for "adult diapers".

stina, have u heard/have thoughts on the movie willard?

edge102 did not post the damned password at 10 a.m., the liars. they were late.
anyway, i got 4 GA tix for the show. PLEASE pay me back this weekend or i am in big trouble. $43.50 each.
when you guys went to the hershey centre last time, was the whole floor one big mass of GA? 'cause it looks like it's split into sections on the ticketmaster venue layout...

don't worry, cam--i know how to figure out how to get pre-sale tix when i offer to get 'em. :D

stina, marc said he wanted to go a few posts below.

if your able to get my ticket that would be fantastic. i would be able to pay back by this weekend.
i have been awake since 4am i think bc of this show *l*
so to get tickets today i believe you have to do the following.
become an edge insider and when logged in hit the contests section.
you will see a special password.
https://ticketing.ticketmaster.com/cgi/purchasepage_ca.asp?event_id=100036D2842EA60D go here with the password.

crissandra--you didn't answer my q about the torquil mag thing!

great interview. i love the thing about diagonal lawn-cutting. :D

Oh thank God! Thanks Christina, that'd be awesome if you could score me a ticket! I'll pay you back when I see you. AHHH I'm so excited! Cam, thanks for calling, I left you a message at home. I'm not sure if you're getting tickets too but I guess if either you or Christina could score me one that'd be awesome...

Thanks for thinking of me, guys. :)

hey andria!! :)
boy's definitely playing the dawson city music fest. lemme know how he his!

so who's interested in WS tix? i can try tomorrow morning...if i wake up in time.
you MUST pay me back by this weekend though (i'm coming home), 'cause i'd have to pay my dad back. so far i count cam and crissandra...? cgal? christine? marc? it's probably too late to get a response now, so i'm prob gonna end up getting 3 or 4 tix if i get any. i'll post here if i do. damn i've been using the credit card a lot lately.

andria, i'm flatered you did say hello =p
your pretty funny. little bitch girls pushed you around? i know you could have still kicked their ass.
this year there appears to be a few Cameron like characters around. I have heard of a few such cases but only just rescently.

mraz must feel like he's playing for a day care. if he's head taller then stina and she's the tallest of bitch girl lot...

crassy, it's best not waiting for thursday. you pulling me leg? if no one else is able to catch the presale b4 4:00pm then i will do my best to get GA tickets at that time. General Admision is floor. no specific seat. 2morrows ticket sale i believe is only happening online.

cliff, shut your mouth =p
she's most time in cute poses and not in hot short shorts *l*. it's a cool shot bc jack's in the background playing while she's up front.
nice SARS show review. you in for seeing the stones and co?

GA? I'm not down with "the lingo".

I'll be home in the morning so I can make the WS ticket buy, but I don't have the cash to pay for everyone's ticket. SO YOU BETTER COME OUT TONIGHT. *nudge nudge* Oh crap, but I guess if it's for Inside Edge members (that of which I am a member of) it'd probably be sold over the net which is a no-can-do sitch for me (no MC, no!).

Would it be better to buy them on Thursday?

;)

Georgia? Grade Average? Gatorade? Go Alcohol? Googla?

White Stripes, Jazz festival, a certain b-day shindig.

BOOYEAH!

"we had these annoying little bitch girls standing in front of us"
LOL that keeps on making me laugh.


stina, marc : WHITE STRIPE info
i have been really gunning down the info on this show. Ticket Sales actually go on sale 2morrow at 10am for Inside Edge members. Thursday for the rest of the public. This information is still not well known as they only started to mention it today on the edge. The earliest I can manage to get them is 4:00pm which is iffy that I will be able to get GA at that point.
would anyone be home closer to 10am??

HAPPY BIRTHDAY von von

oh yes, and--

BONNE FêTE, YVONNE!!!

shit i hate this new way of preregistration crap we've started here. i think it's more like yours now, cgal. :( it's a mad scramble for 300-level courses!!! i hate it!!! i'm stuck w/ stuff i didn't really want!!! :( i doubt the add/drop period is gonna be very lucky for me, either.

so i got back from CT at around 8:30 a.m. and was in class falling asleep to a lecture about "sensibility" (hahahahaha...the irony) an hour later.
it was an interesting trip.
it was cool to visit connecticut, since i doubt i'll ever have a reason to go there ever again in my life. gilmore girls episodes can be a little misleading though when it comes to hartford.

what was funny was that the girls i went w/ hadn't booked a hotel for sunday night, so we ended up driving around to random places looking for a place to stay...and later we discovered that the 2nd place we tried (the 1st was waaay too expensive) was where the co-headliner of the show, an "eh" band called maroon 5 ended up staying! i saw their tour bus and attached u-haul parked beside the place. it was funny b/c the band's manager and whatnot were part of the reason we didn't end up staying there...the girls thought they were freaky when they saw 'em in the lobby. i think they thought they were drug dealers or something. they were also kinda sketched out about motels, 'cause for some reason they think ppl only get killed in those kinds of lodgings. suuure.
soo...we ended up going to this other place called the "park inn" instead, and the next morning we look out the window and see another tour bus w/ a u-haul attached to the back in the parking lot! i was like, "how many bands are having concerts in hartford?! geez!" then we see toca getting into it. so it was mraz & co's tour bus. what are the odds?!? :D they were actually staying at the days inn right next to us.
after we checked out, we wandered around and got lost in hartford for a bit and then headed back to the mcdonalds near the hotel for food, and who do we see getting stuff to-go? none other than mraz himself. i think he thought we were stalking him somehow. it was honestly all just a coincidence though. i don't think he remembers me at all (at least he didn't let on that he did) and the girls needed to jog his memory a bit to remind him of who they were (and they last saw him in april--the last time i talked to him was in january). guess his memory isn't as good as i thought. that's actually sorta reassuring.
this time i actually noticed that he's about a head taller than me. he told us that they hadn't slept much the night before 'cause they were partying in the bus, and we should've joined them. riiight. he also said the days inn hotel was kinda freaky. we then wished him a happy b-day and let him go on his way to some radio interview.

we went shopping at some mall in west hartford (got my copy of hail to the thief w/out copy-protection stuff--haha!--the states is apparently the only place that doesn't have it on their discs) and then we lounged around in the nice park in the middle of the city by the pond. lots of babies/cute kids, dogs and birds to watch. i did a bit of my boring restoration lit reading.
crissandra--are you _sure_ torquil wrote in the issue of SPIN mag w/ thom yorke on the cover? 'cause i have it and don't see an article by him anywhere. you sure you're not confusing it w/ chart mag from a few months ago w/ raine on the cover? i've got that one already. he interviewed k-os.

the show itself was pretty good. the opener was "eh" and the place was filled w/ freaky little underaged girls (i think it was supposed to be a 16+ show though...), but mraz's voice was quite "on." the set was pretty short though--i think maybe 1.5 hrs? and no encore! i guess it's 'cause he was co-headlining and maroon 5 went on afterwards (we didn't watch). the guys from m5 came on stage during mraz's set and brought out a cake for him, and they threw pieces of it out at the audience afterwards. iiintereesting. i heard mraz came out at the end of their set w/ a bottle of champagne and he played the tambourine or something. he was probably real damned wasted by then.
we had these annoying little bitch girls standing in front of us (actually, there were _a lot_ of damned rude concertgoers there) who kept shrieking the lyrics and dancing like buttholes who had no consideration for others. i honestly wanted to strangle this one buttwipe who kept whacking me w/ her AWESOME dance moves.
at least i was taller than everybody standing in front of me for once. doubt that'll ever happen at a show for me ever again. especially radiohead!
don't think i'm going to anymore mraz shows in the states for now. it's turning into the post-radio-single john mayer crowd.
we talked to ian the bassist a bit afterwards and he said they're probably not coming to toronto. oh well.
toca came over to me outside after the show and gave me a hug that literally lifted me about 5 ft off the ground. as always, he remembered that i was the "canadian girl," but he seems to purposely block my name outta his memory.
there seemed to be a lot of canadians that made the trek over for the show. we met these ppl from toronto who are following the show for a few days while they tour the east coast, and this one guy was hilarious. he kept doing impressions of all the cdn stereotypes. "you know, we don't really say 'eh', EH?" and all the "aboot, oot" stuff, etc, etc.
memorable trip. tired. must eat now.

i wanna go to the WS show--cam, do you think you'll be able to score GA? do you want me to try too? i don't know how i'm gonna work out all this traveling back and forth though. if i could just get GA toronto radiohead tix i could frigging sell my montréal ones... :(

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY, YVONNE.....*HUGS AND KISSES* ;)

lots to post about.

anywhoo for the White Stripes Aug 5th @ hershey Centre.
Tickets are on sale Thursday at 10am.
if you want to go let me know b4 the 26th.
your info.
oh my meg, oh my

*wakes up*
the relay for life was quite an event. my team had no chance in winning the spirit contest, best site, best decoration, or best fund raising (but we were not too far off). our hope was in the vollyball tournment. we played by the new rules in which it's the first to 25 and every rally is worth a point (even if your serving). won the first match easily 25-14 but our 2nd mmatch was a batle. we played a team dressed as Drs and Clowns (scarry ones). it ended coming down to the last point after some misfortune and we lost. that team went on to the finals i believe. anywhoo well beyond all the games we played (vball, bball, scoccer, connect4) the run/event was beautiful. so many volunteers and tons of participants. i didnt see katie in the crowd. the most moving moments i found for the night was the suviors lap (1st lap) as they all did 1 walk around the track together. my mom's best friend (since childhood) took that walk with her daughter at hand. it was quite tearful. at 10:00pm when it got dark they lit up 1400 candles in paper bags that luminated all around the inside of the track. each bag had an in memory of someone that passed away or in honour of a suvior (fighter) of cancer. going around the track in 15mins-30 sessions i couldnt help but read over the names. i havent pooled all my thoughts together on the event. i need a lil time, but it's something i will do again.


hershey centre arena show, fanfukintastic.
of course now i insist on GA tickets *l*
stina, and ticket sale date? il be sure to look into it.
sorry things didnt quite work out for u with RH. i'm sure u will still manage a way, your crafty.

clee, i am but il be pretty busy i think.

phoenix is on for 2nite. i dunno if i will make it to hooters b4.

i'm so sad....
i want to kick myself.
apparently w.a.s.t.e. decided to be tricky and they started selling at 6 a.m. instead of 10 and if i had checked then i could've gotten GA FLOOR tix.
I WAS UP. I WAS READING A FUCKING BOOK AT 6 A.M.
why why why why why

why did ppl SELLING THE GA FLOOR TIX ON EBAY ALREADY get them and not meeeee??????

addendum: got montreal tix. took me about 20 mins to get through. argh. still wish i had t.o. GA tix though. :((((

DISGUSTING.
the fucking thing soldout in like 5 mins. i kept getting shit seats and i'm not paying $70 for fecking shite seats.
looks like i might be going to montreal instead. :((

in other news, get this:
All you Canadians...check out this new White Stripes show date

AUGUST 5
Mississauga, Ontario CANADA
at Hershey Centre

LOL "makeover, makeover"

i feel like jumping ship on the RH thing but iim too tired. none of u others are interested?

rach, what happened to your car?

cliff have fun at the Sars show. u can always drop by the phoenix after.

cute. strange, but still kinda cute. :D

this is funny, too.

alright, so no one's interested in radiohead, right?
'cause my plan's been set now.

marc, have you heard anything from hillside yet???
they still haven't given me anything to do. they haven't responded to my e-mail, either.

You are the exotic pin-up. Nothing about you is
ordinary. You are mysterious and lean toward
foreign places and exciting men.


What Type Of Retro Gal Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Which Silver Screen Siren are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

You're a BOMBSHELL.
You're kitten-like and sexy. You don't need
expensive rocks, you're so classy you overpower
your gems. You tend to put glamour before
comfort, but it doesn't take much for you to
look glamourous anyhow.
Men beg for a chance with you, and you can take
your pick because, frankly, you're too good for
almost all of them.


Which female sex symbol are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

yeah so i'm bored. but these women are so pretty.....*sigh* to be back in the days of beauty.

I LOVE THEM!

"Torquil (is that right) wrote an article in the last Spin with Thom Yorke on the cover. It is the issue where the artists write articles on other artists."

WHAAAT?!??? i knew he wrote in chartmag, but spin?!?? shiiit--are they still selling it??????? what did he talk about??!!!! awwww...thanks for the heads up!

i'd go to the sex pistols 'cept i have no more $$ to spend and although i think they're wicked, it'd be weird to see 'em performing their songs at this age.

i dunno if these are gonna show up, but they're fecking hilarious.
the rub-jamie-shields's-belly photo series:

Rach, *up here*, ok. lol! Your post made me burst out , I'm just glad itlaughing. Haha! You do have a wonderful personality, but you're just as beautiful on the outside, you vain monster, you.

Oxford defines "uxorious" as being greatly or excessively fond of someone's wife. (The word I passed by when looking up whether I was looking for "vain" or "vein".)

Grad was awesome. My parents took about a million photos was really nice and sunny out, hopefully they turned out so I can show you guys. It's funny how some things just work out. I bought a disposable camera from Shoppers, just on a whim, I thought I'd take some summer pics like I do every year. I stashed the camera in my purse. It actually came in handy at grad when I wished that I had a camera to take pics with everyone for the last time as a class. :*) *tear* I like to think that everything just works itself out. Like the time I wanted to get my haircut but didn't want to pay $50 for it so I held off until I had the cash for it. Within that week I buy one of those salon deals off this guy for $30, which is good for two haircuts and a dye. And it's at the salon that the guy from CityLine owns! (Sweet).

I just came back from 108, lol, and before you give me That Look let me explain that I went for the cheap drinks and its convenient location. But NEVER AGAIN. I think we had more fun on the way back home in the car. I got more excited about Wendy's than when we pulled into the parking lot of 108. It was crazy packed but that ooky Mississauga vibe creeps me out. It was time to leave.

Torquil (is that right) wrote an article in the last Spin with Thom Yorke on the cover. It is the issue where the artists write articles on other artists.

Anyone gonna see the Sex Pistols?

alright--if you're interested in going to see rh in aug. lemme know SOON. i'm working out a plan on getting the tix i want now. they go on sale sat. you've been warned!

toca is posting on the mraz boards right now and he claims to be severely stoned. i believe him.

i need to finish writing these stinking articles tonight or i will never do 'em. safdhsflhdsfkdfh!!!!!

coldplayers, 102.1 is playing an encore of the show saturday.
(b4 they go live to phoenix)
they are also playing on the radio clocks from that show. or maybe it's another single.

haha what are u confused about in regards to the appletons?

hey--ppl offered to drive me and they got me tix to go. :Þ should be my last roadtrip for awhile though...

i'm just kidding. it's cool that you like slean.
:)
justin-what?? there are gazillions of justins here. what year is he? how do you know him? you sure his name isn't jason? if he's in con-ed, that would freak me out.

as for the appleton sisters, i don't get it. i think jonny lee miller went out w/ one of 'em before.

im being teased... but il rebutle
my jaw dropped hearing slean play her first note. (i think the boys on stage noticed)
heck i told stina at the show that slean is in my top 5 all time faves.
those comments were not meant be creepy, but honest.
i posted a day or 2 after the show a doodle of her which burned into my mind.
i did some research into her to find more shows, albums, and images on her.... it was a fluke her adress showed up.
i repeatedly showed interst in the white stripes after seeing them live aswell.

lol maybe i am crazy
but im not going to CT for Mraz =p
stina, do u know a guy "justin" in kingston. he supposedly goes to queens and has been obsessed with mraz.

yes both liam's married the girls. nicole is pretty hot. i have a documentary with the lot of them. pretty good family.

i'm goin' to CT on sunday/monday...
then no more mraz 'til possibly late august.

just took german exam. didn't study for it. what is wrong w/ me??
i think i'm still gonna get a pretty good final mark, but still. i'm getting really fucking damned lazy.

i agree w/ cgal about cam's obsession w/ sarah slean. :D

wow. librarians make a pretty good living: $46,155 - $50,578

"sarah slean is playing part of the "celebrate toronto fest' july 4th. =D
she's quite the beautiful character"
"i'm going to Slean for TO fest" quote cameron
umm. has anybody else noticed the neverending posts about sarah slean? first he didn't even know who she was. then he catches her at the rivoli and it's been a sick and twisted obsession ever since! "quite the beautiful character" that almost sounds psychotic. stalker-ish even. cam, if you need help, we're here for you......... *muahahahahahaaaa* i better inform sarah of cameron, maybe she can stock up on some bodyguards //just// incase. *wink wink

thank you all for your thanks in getting my courses. christina brit and caribbean history will definitely cross paths, which is good because memorizing for the classes will be a bit easier. i took a history course this year about "ordinary people" and brit/carib are closely linked and extremely interesting. the prof' from this year is the one who teaches the caribbean course and she's AWSOME so i'm really happy about that. i'm //pretty// positive i'm going to stay another year..you're right,a full course load may be maddening.. i'm not one for dealing with stress well either..hrrmm. i may wait it out. i don't know. and i know what you mean about wanting SO many courses but not having the room for it all. it's weird when you actually want to learn something....;)

liam and liam are married to the sisters from all saints? yeah right i never knew that. those chicks are ugly...and not talented at all. lol. that seems so funny. liam i can see with one, but the liam from prodigy..nevah! <- break out the madddd jungaliss styles *wink

okies i'm off for now.
i was kickin' it with my good friend mr.sun today. took a nice walk, listened to music....it was so beautiful and peaceful *sigh*
cgal xxx

nora, that sounds like a pretty cool job. BS some days but cool other days :)
it's only matter of time until blogger undies come out.
haha i like your stina nicknames. "xstina" and "oxypads" LOL

rach hows your car?

what free salads show on Sunday? the free concert is at phoenix on saturday. (well it should be)
i think liz will be in and likely a few other cats.

crassy, i finish work at 3:30 and have to pick my mom up on the way home. have a good one still

i got pretty interested in joan of arc after seeing The Messenger. nope, not bc joan being hot and Clone High. It's the question if she was hearing the voice of God or not. what makes her a saint.

cgal, blue man group *l*
i entered to win and see them at the ACC. they played a pretty funky show on Letterman b4.

Liam from Oasis and Liam from Prodigy have teamed up with their wives (the Appleton sisters of All Saints) to be the in house band LNNL. Funny thing is i would rather see them play then Flint.

Cameron Bay.

I'm up for the Phoenix on Saturday. Hey Rach we're both on the Internet at the same time. :O

Thanks Christina. Couldn't have done it without ya. ;)

Cam, my grad's at 2pm @ North Campus. So far it's just my dad because it's friggin DURING THE DAY?! If you want I can get you an invite, bring someone so you don't have to talk to yourself during the ceremony. :)

Rach, did you want to check out the Salads' free concert...Sunday? I'm up for it. And yes, I said the Salads. I know. lol. :)

HAHAHA. i love it. :)

"-british history
-caribbean history"

these will cross paths.
i learned allll about the "transatlantic slave trade"/abolition last nite. :(

"-women in medieval and modern europe"

joan of aaarc.

"-korean history "

that sounds interesting.
congrats on getting what you want!

i think if you're absolutely positive that you're gonna have to stay another year, then drop the course. if not, then you should just take it to get it over w/.
they somehow screwed up our new course-selection registration thing for fourth-years. it was supposed to start yesterday and last for a week, but now we only get from thursday-sunday to select courses or something. :(

funnily enough, the courses i wanna do next year don't conflict w/ each other at all! last year it was impossible to make a schedule 'cause all the math and english courses had the same timeslots. yay.
it's sad, but there are courses that i still want to take, but i won't be able to b/c there isn't enough room for 'em all. i'm considering taking a really full courseload just so i can fit everything in, but i know i won't survive if i do. ahhhhhh

*waves*
hello all, hello. rachiekins, thanks for the luck;) and because of you, i got into all the courses i wanted except one. and i actually have breaks in between classes this year..although i'm not sure that's such a good thing. i lost so much weight on my "coffee and stress" diet, who knows what food will do to me;) (kidding!) my courses are (so excited:):
-british history
-caribbean history
-women in medieval and modern europe
-korean history
-and some womens study course i must take to complete my 9 credits needed of a social science course. i may drop it though..because that's a crazyfull courseload. what do you all think? if i take the socsci, i'll be in school every day. if not, i have fridays off. either way, i'll probably have to stay an extra year in school..so i'm wondering if i should stress myself...or just wait it out. i'm not really that eager to start my "career". i guess i'll just go with the flow...

gavin rossdale was on kilborn last night and i m i s s e d the interview. but he played with the blue man group(is that what they're called?) and i couldn't help but shake my head and be embarassed for him. still looks decent though;)

joel and i watched fear and loathing in las vegas last night. ummmm. that's all i have to say. that, and "headful of acid!!". i think it's one of those movies you must watch absolutely fucked out of your mind in order to gather some sort of meaning...very intense.

i have to work a shift from 6:30-10pm.how bullshit can a company be?
alright off to dance away...
cgal xxx
If I never said I loved you, Now you know I'd try...Babe, now you know I'd try expecting to fly:buffalo springfield. i love that song

nora, take a trip where? (stina, where is yours?).
that ericson job sounds pretty good. how did you get it? what do u actually do?

crassy, u didnt answer my question about the time for your grad show.
i didn't know you did advertising PLANNING. i thought it was all the buy/sell part you guys did. "media sales".
*wonders if i am in the wrong program*....
composes myself.

some funny shit on TV last nite. errrrr Canadian Idol and Celebrity impersonators doing pranks.

i'm taking a trip on sunday. :)

glad you've got it worked out, crissandra. :)

i had the most awkward oral presentation ever today. i started researching it last nite at around 9 p.m., and w/ no sleep, presented it about 12 hrs later. not pretty. some nice ppl in class were being all nice complimentary, but i know when i suck. and i sucked.

anyway, i'm having trouble getting into blogger a lot lately. that would explain my lack of incessant posts. ;))

wesley's towel has been stenching for about 2 weeks now. i don't know how to tell him that he should wash it before i eventually pass out from the reek.

radiohead tix are fucking expensive!! $55!!!!!! but i muuust gooooo and be in the froooont!! GA! floor!!

Thanks for the conGRADs, Cam, that was cute!

Chris, I don't even know anymore...! I just cooked up the best plan ever: I'll stay in advertising, buy/plan/sell for a magazine...and if there are any opportunities that open up at the magazine, I'll apply from there because everyone will hopefully already know who I am by then. I did Humber's advertising course, which is solely media planning/buying/selling. Sheridan's course is more diverse, it teaches you a bit about everything...even the creative. And that excites me. I think I'll stick with advertising...I'll trust my gut.

i posted a couple of days ago but it didnt publish.
fack.

crassy, what time is your grad? conGRADS to you

stina, you are a geek =p
looks good.
-i'm going to Slean for TO fest (and the salads on the 7th)
-im up for RH if ticket prices are not too expensive!
-it appears I WILL NOT BE WORKING WEEKENDS so hillside might just happen. im not going to pay there non-volunteer fees for the fest. (that's crazy)
-i dont think anyone saw BSS and the Stars.

stine, i only really recall wonderbrat as a screename on the hullaboard. i didnt know if it was a boy or girl even. i was surprised he would know me (unless it's in the same fashion). there was a pretty good network among partiers. in cyber and real space.

marc, i have given up pretty much on CS and have been playing Tomb Raider II. i have Tomb Raider III also downloaded but i think 2 is easier. soooooo adictive these games are.

i had a great weekend. jays game. saturday i saw some movies and played games with liz. sunday i cleant the car for fathers day and picked him up some red stripe. then i saw my godpa for his bday and had 4 good glasses of wine. =)

Im booked pretty much all for next weekend.
Friday - Relay for Life
Saturday - Amanda's bday @ hooters & The Salads @ the phoenix
Sunday - bbq

Who is going to hooters and(or) the phoenix saturday?

in 16minutes I will be choosing my courses online for next year.
if anyone reads this..think of me and wish me luck, please?
last year i was denied happiness seeing that I got into n o n e of the classes I wanted.

i feel nausious....i hope i at least get into 2 or 3 courses i want.
//gulp.

here i go
cgalxx

pop underground.
i'm proud of it!
this dude from vancouver's helping me out w/ it. :))

placebo have a new album out called "sleeping w/ ghosts." i won't be here for their show 'cause i'll be in ny. :( :) i think seeing 'em once was enough fer me anyway. i went w/ yeemi a few years ago and we saw nicole from scratching post there!

christine and marcin are definitely going to blur.

i want this shirt!! :D
i've been here! had a good time, too.

question to crissandra: why are you doing advertising again except at sheridan? i don't get it...didn't you do advertising at humber already? did you explain this before? i think you did, but i can't remember...
what sort of magazine journalism are you interested in?
i tell you--it's all about deadlines! and knowing how to ask the right questions if you're interviewing ppl, and figuring out the right way to word things, obviously.
and you're gonna have to work your butt off (or be really lucky) to find a steady job (or pay, at least) afterwards.
to sum it up, it's hard. but so is everything, i guess.

i forgot why i came here now. argh.

Thanks guys for the advice.

Rach, I thought we already talked about the Ginger Ale and Kraft singles tasting parties...They're absolutely classy and "with it"! Hip, even.

Chris, I've always wondered about writing for magazines. You do your school newspaper thing, how enjoyable is it? I guess if I really wanted back in to the ad industry I have my Humber diploma to fall back on. I think it's time to try something new. Fuck, but what if I really like the Sheridan advertising program!!??

My graduation is this Thursday if anyone wants to come. It'll be at the Humber North campus @ 2pm. That's if you have nothing better to do than watch me be bored for 2 hours. ;)

Does anyone want to go to the Madison tonight? Call me!

gwyneth and chris martin are officially engaged. lucky bums.
i think they're cute together though.

where's the toronto date for the WS?? this has been announced, but no t.o. yet:
AUGUST 6
Montreal Quebec CANADA
Metropolis

august 5 & 6 are really good concert dates!! grandaddy, the walkmen, and now the WS!

i'm using this to help me keep track of dates now...lemme know if you're interested in anything.

Hot in Herre - Tiga
wicked music video done all in puppetry to a remix of Nelly's hot in here

this is MY United States of Whatever

this damned site wouldn't load for me all day long. :(

radiohead shows for aug. 15/16 in montréal/toronto are confirmed! on sale june 21!!! i NEEEEED floor GA tix!!!!!!!! i'm not sure if i should try montréal or toronto though.
who's interested??

christine, i posted the blur dates somewhere here...does searching work anymore?

wowies, we're only one game away from first place in the AL/east division!!! yay, jays!!

heehee, crissandra--after i got into queen's, i realized that i should've applied to ryerson journalism. oh well. i've since realized that i'm really shitty at meeting deadlines/due dates/anything-requiring-me-to-hand-stuff-in-on-time.
do what you want to do. if you really want to do it, you'll go through all the requisite crap b/c you'll think it's worth it.
what kind of journalism are you interested in? i can tell you a bit about it since i'm often surrounded by ppl who want to get into it.

!!!!!please tell me _somebody_ went to one of the STARS/BSS shows!!!!!!
matt barber played here tonite, but i've been trying to figure out german verbs, possessives, conjunctions, prepositions and every other frustrating aspect of grammar and sentence structure all day. :((

crassy, do the program that brings u to humber north.
such bad advice. hun, both sound great.
i dont know enough about your plans for real advice

jays won :). nice to see 2 of the faveourite ppl i have known my whole life. my cuz steph and john.

marc, im training myself in counter strike. i got the retail version

ni ni

i want to teach myself how to cook good but unexpensive meals. some special dishs.

c lee, i do..... and why?

sorry, gone to the jays game. just got a surprise email notice that my cousins are going and they have a ticket for me. gotta meet them at 6:45 or else im screwed.
*Scarred* subway ride by myself. haha

call me cell if your up for the show. i *might* be able to make it after the jays game. later

Chris Martin's in a movie?

Ok, I'm in a bind. I've already accepted the Advertising program at Sheridan but the curiousity that lies in my agency coworkers has opened my eyes to what I'd call the "coulda's". Journalism.

I've already turned down the Journalism program at Sheridan but I don't know if that was such a wise choice. I'm having so much fun in the ad industry (the way they lure you in with the par-tays) I'm naturally curious what it'd be like to be a journalist. I applied for Advertising and Journalism hoping I'd be rejected from one of the programs as a "sign" that I should be taking the other. But go figure, I got accepted into both. For some reason, without even thinking about it, I accepted Advertising. I figure since I finished one advertising program, I could start another one and learn more about the industry. But now I don't know if I care to learn more.

I've always wanted to work at a magazine and if I stay in advertising, the only way I'll be able to do that is if I sold ad space for one. Or did their ad creative.

My mom's side of the family is full of writers, journalists... My mom wanted to be a journalist. Maybe it's a calling. Or really bad timing. Or me already getting bored of advertising. I mean what more is there to know about advertising that I don't already know! It'll probably get really messy if I decide at the last minute to change my decision. As far as Sheridan knows, I'm in Advertising. And I don't like complications.

ooh, I watched Bubble Boy. Funny..and that Jake Gyllenhaal :)
At least I think that's how his surname is spelled

....concerts, concerts, concerts

Happy Friday the 13th...break a leg >:)

why are you not at lee's palace?!?? :-o

why grandaddy over the walkmen? i'm kinda thinking the opposite right now...i wanna visit montréal again...

chris martin ( crassy like him correct?) is in a movie on the New VR right now. It's all filmed in toronto and features a lil lovers triangle between 2 boys and a girl.

i dunno what/who COCO means. i found the original info of that concert of a toronto guy's page. he has reviews on the dears, constatines, etc on it too.
funny that an old vice magazine reviews the detroit rock scene and says something along the lines "right now, even your mother knows the words to hello opperator". i think that was from sometime in 2000.

see the granddaddy over the walkmen.

sarah slean is playing part of the "celebrate toronto fest' july 4th. =D
she's quite the beautiful character.

cam, i'd hate you 'cause it's free. ;D and that is a wicked line-up in a kickass city. tonite's and tomorrow's shows are close, but not completely.

that 2000 WS show was for sleater-kinney. wesley was there. his superior-self says he liked 'em better then. what's the C.O.C.O. mean though?

the walkmen are playing in montréal, but not t.o. :( i bet you it's the SARS!! :D
what i find funny is that awarestore.com is now their online merch dealer...weiird! first they manage brendan benson and now they sell another startime records band's merch!
grandaddy's coming here at around the same time...which should i choose?!

why would you envy us for going tonight .....
but hate me for seeing sarah slean in NY
that's not nice =p

stine, u kick ass in that reflex game. it finaly caught up with you.
hash browns *l*. hope your not too broken

interesting.....
September 19, 2000 - Toronto @ Opera House w/ White Stripes, C.O.C.O.

i coulda told you that about treasure planet. :D

i'm listening to BSS right now. it's grown a looot on me. :)
go tonite if you can, ppl! leslie feist is playing. tomorrow it's amy millan. oh hell. they're both good. but go early, 'cause RT has already sold out of tkts...
i will envy you forever if you go!!!

christine, you saw the blur thing, right?

glad u guys enjoyed coldplay
i heard the start and the cheer b4 the encore.

marc, did u want to see the stars today or 2morrow?

stine, how did u fuck up your finger? hope your better soon

wilted funk? did they use googlism to come up with that? i wouldn't consider them much of a funk band.

lol at cliff and stina. geeks ;)

That's okay, Rach, but you totally missed out! Coldplay. COLDPLAY. COLDPLAY!! COLDPLAY. I had such an awesome time. Thank you friends. Thank you. You had me at "hello". Chris Martin sang "What a Wonderful World". When you think someone couldn't get any more beautiful they go and sing "What a Wonderful World". Go figure. *tsst!*

Cgal, I've seen that episode! Not in the past 6 weeks but maybe it'll come on again sometime next week. Huzzah!

Christina. It was just that necessary to demonstrate just how great Matt Barber was at NXNE.

"Son of a bitch!"

Oh and funny thing is I also missed Ron Sexsmith...whom Matt Barber has just been compared to.

"I see skies of blue, red roses too, I see them bloom...for me and you. And I think to myself, What a wonderful world."

problem is, i need the comp to type up my stinkin' english response journal shite. :Þ
i also need to write a gazillion articles that i've been ignoring.
have you been reading readymade mag or something?!

i can't stop posting!

damn, the new NOW issue's out already.
if you don't believe me, believe NOW.
they didn't seem to like the salads too much at nxne.
i can't believe tim perlich liked matt barber! i never agree w/ him!

"matthew barber's 9 pm set at the Riv, a stripped-down eclectic acoustic rock performance reinforced by sister Jill Barber's lovely harmonies and Julian Brown on upright bass, was remarkable. Barber is head and shoulders above most of the pretty-faced indie troubadours out there. He can actually sing, for one, and his vocal personality morphs with each tune. His intelligent, well-crafted songwriting is on a par with Ron Sexsmith's. And the talent runs in the family – Haligonian Jill's smoky, vocals made me regret being shut out of her Thursday-night set at the Cameron.The Cameron House has a capacity of, what, 10 people?"

does anyone wanna go see grandaddy at the opera house on aug. 6?? $17.50 + service charges. i liked their show when they opened for coldplay a few years ago. remember josé/ali/whatever-he-likes-to-be-called? he introduced me to 'em. supposed to have a good opener, too. earlimart?

cam, U2's song is actually a real word though. and their's is "theque" while rh's is "teque." i think rh's is supposed to sound like "idiotic," except they spelt it differently.

i got a hillside membership card, but no real assignment yet. i wanna drive a golf cart!
the t.o. film fest is having sign-ups for returning volunteers when i'm gonna be in ny.
:(
p.s. emm gryner's playing on sunday, i believe.

more cool concert stuff:
bedouin soundclash is sorta opening for the dears!!
http://www.toronto.ca/special_events/streetfest/streetfest_dundas.htm

i have been feeling rather sluggish myself.
work has burned me out a lil.
my parents are annoyed.

ideoteque - i just the video for it on much. they added the 'oedque' to it like u2 did for there electronic song =p
i like that one alot. i also like 'there there'. they gave away many copies of the new album at the phoenix last saturday.

marc, stina.. have u been assigned HIllside positions yet? my sis is doing the info booth and apparently they are just signed in to do it for 2hrs.

for those interested, they're apparently airing the whole coldplay show on edge102 today.

shit, this is so cool--tND's playing here on july 3! too bad i can't go.
($16 in advance $20 at the door , 10pm-2am)

i thought this was funny. this girl i went to see mraz w/ in ithaca wrote this today:
"So I am reading "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Unabridged)"...I found it on the bargain book rack at the library a while ago for $.25 cents and just got around to reading it now...
Anyways, at the end of the introduction, it says something like "If you want to leave the planet here's a few tips..." and it lists the phone numbers for NASA, the White House, the Pope and the Kremlin. Being the retard that I am, decided to call the numbers to see if they were real. HAHA. So I call NASA, and it's out of order, call the Pope and it's out of order and then I try the White House...it rings, it rings and all of the sudden someone goes "The White House" and I go "...are you serious??" and she hung up on me! It was so weird though, I thought I was on the twilight Zone. I didn't think you could actually call that place. I mean, it's only the main switchboard, but still...that book was written in like 1983, you would think it would be a different number by now! Imagine how many crank calls that place gets...especially back when that book first came out...HAHA!!
The number is 202-456-1414, call and ask for George!
You would think they would answer and say: "You have reached The White House, how may I direct your call" or something cheesy like that. But all she says is "The White House" They probably get so many calls that saying a whole cheesy schpeil would get pretty old!!"

i was reading that book while waiting in the volunteer rush line at the toronto film fest, and i think dusty cohl, one of the founders of the fest, was sitting beside me, and he said, "reading that book will turn you into a hippie." :D

andria, i've been here the whole time...how have you been trying to reach me??
whitehorse was the answer (question...whatever) for jeopardy today. :)

i have so much shite to do for the next 2 months. :(

someone go to the lee's palace show tomorrow! such a great line-up!!! leslie feist, apostle of hustle (aka hot-guitar-man), stars and then broken social scene. WHY have i been so lazy lately?!? i would go if i didn't have a friggin' mt. everest shiteload of crap to do. :((

blogger lost my post last nite >:(
well i still got to enjoy watching sarah slean videos :).

judging by pixs field day didnt look so bad dispite a lil rain. underworld played in daylight which is a bit messed but looked alright anyway. beck get injured by a stage man.

anywhoo i went to my sisters grad today. it wasn't a bad to bad. the biggest convocation they have ever had. a total of 3 brown ppl graduated and i was mistaken as one of them.
awwww guelph is nice town/city.

hope u guys have fun at coldplay

what breakfest?

BRMC are on the cover of the latest NME.

all music . com..... what a good info page

stripes have added and reschedualed shows. aug 8th in Milwaukee. tiny bit damaging to the TO rumour but not that bad.

i'm all over the place, but nice to see u back Andria. enjoy your sunny yukon days

yeah right cliff...i never knew that. ahhhbut no "deaths caused by sars"-you're right, that's crap. i d i o t s!!!!!

crissy..great spongebob episode today, i don't know if you've seen it, the "lost episode". someone calls spongebob asking if it was "the birdman"(he was attempting to fly) and then sbob is like"no! who is this! who? JOE MAMMA? well listen mr. joe mamma..!" i laughed so hard. i heart you spongebob.

SARS NERD = MORONS WHO CANCEL THEIR SHOWS IN TORONTO USING SARS AS A COVER.
IT'S TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. THE AMOUNT OF HYSTERIA IN THE YANQUI MEDIA
OVER THIS MYTHOLOGICAL SARS EPIDEMIC BOGGLES THE MIND. NOW I'M HEARING
THAT BIG CLUB OWNERS IN THE U.S. ARE THREATENING TOURING BANDS WITH
CANCELLING THEIR SHOWS AT THEIR CLUBS IF THEY PLAY ANY TORONTO AREA SHOWS.
I'VE ALSO HEARD THAT SOME AMERICAN CITIES ARE HUSHING UP MEDIA COVERAGE
OF SARS CASES IN THEIR TOWNS BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT THE SAME IDIOTIC
HYSTERIA TO OCCUR.
AS I TYPE THIS, LITTLE BROTHER JUST CANCELLED THEIR APPEARANCE WITH PRINCE PAUL
BECAUSE "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE IF WE COME THERE". COULD YOU BE ANY MORE OF
A FUCKING IDIOT?
WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO BOYCOTT ANY RETURN ENGAGEMENTS BY ANY ARTIST WHO
CANCELS THEIR T.O. SHOW USING THE SARS MYTH AS THE REASON.

i love rotatethis. yeah sure, the guy that i always end up dealing with is a bit of a weirdo..but they're so great. can you believe how ridiculous this is getting? good ol'america. make the citizens of your country fear every fucking thing so you can justify your evil/wrong "solutions" to the "problems". i wouldn't be suprised if some places in the states have sars...but you'll never hear it. f u c k e d right up.

cgal
(christina...it's good to know he (lead singer of the dears//sorry i forgot his name//doesn't want to be a dick;) maybe he should lay off the drugs and perhaps smile once in awhile though.......;)

yikes. they cancelled bonnaroo NE. danged long island/calverton/whatever ppl.

BRMC are supposedly coming on july 5.

ahhh....that was so great. they say ben kweller was there as well. except--kickass chris seemed to be wearing a wedding band or something on his finger...noooooooooooo...he's just trying to throw us all off, right? riiight??!

you ppl still haven't seen bend it like beckham yet?! gooo already.

brendan benson & kickass chris on carson daly tonite.
bright eyes on letterman tomorrow.

"spehshul" LOL
that's mean

errrr blogger tricks us.

i decided today that im going to my sister's grad. my grad gift plan (toronto symphany concert) for 2morrow nite wouldn't have worked. so since i don't have work 2morrow i'm free for tonight. anyone wanna do something? have a drink?

and NxNe is over =o). last yr the friday we went downtown was on the 7th.

crassy i was just teasing you a bit. i havent seen u in awhile. im for the stripes too.

stine, sounds interesting. it also seems like something my parents might like. there are lots of movies i need to see.

pour christine and anyone else interested (i hope she sees this)--
blur dates:
July 21 - Kool Haus (Toronto)
July 22 - Kool Haus
July 23 - Metropolis (Montreal)
i think toronto's the only city that gets 2 dates. spehshul!!!

start checking tktbastard incessantly for sale dates! or just go to RT or SS...

A 9.3!!!!! YAAAAAAY.

What's in Barrie?

Cam, sorry to say I couldn't score any passes to the MMVA's. It's the whole We-Just-Met thing, it'd probably be rude of me to start asking for free stuff so soon in our short relationships. And I agree with Christina, you might want to edit one of your last posts. Teehee! And yeah, NXNE ended. You didn't read my post... did you? ;) That would also explain why you thought I compared Bedouin Soundclash to the Chemical Brothers, lol.

"- her bf that is down her is NOT going .... bc he doesn't want too"

I think you should go to your sister's grad, especially if she asked you to.

I'm up for the White Stripes concert for sure.

haha. cam, i think you should edit.
i don't have to hate you anymore 'cause you're not gonna be in central park for that wicked show either. yay!
umm...nxne is over. it was this past weekend, phreak.
you should go to her grad if she wants you to.
i need to remind my bro to get my dad a card this sunday.

i had to read this for class. it's pretty funnee.

looks like blogger wasn't lying to you after all, Cam :)
hehehe

OK, 3 times now i have lost my full post with blogger. it says it published fully too. my ass.

anywhoo. rach, UofT has always been known for having an admin staff that is not student friendly. the counsillor i saw their last year was horrible. her advice boiled down to... your not doing well, try harder, do better. haha
you really have to do pretty much all your research yourself especially if it's inquiring about another school. other school's like Ryerson should be happier to hear from you bc they want new students (even if they can't take any right now).
i really don't know still if i should have transferred universities, gone to college, or stayed put.

hymmmm ok different eric.

bjork tickets i heard were close to 60$. i might pay half of that. stina can u win me tickets? =p haha

i attempted to watch radiohead.tv today. i had to wait 24 mins to the show and when it hit 20mins to go i was fast asleep. i missed everything =p.

i don't think il be going down to NY for sarah slean anymore. sure enough the 29th is the date my cousins from NY are driving to toronto. argh. im not grumpy about missing the trip as much as missing slean. i didnt know her this time a month ago *l*.
last year at this time i saw Black Reble Motorcycle Club, the free show at the edge, and the block party. I think this friday i should head downtown for some NXNE shit again. fond memories.


hehe. the best WS trading/info page out.

paulina in a new tv ad? deoderant or something? i cant remember

*tries to make a final decission.... should i go to my sister's uni graduation on wednesday?*
- i would have to take the day off work
- her bf that is down her is NOT going .... bc he doesn't want too
- it is father's day
- she didn't go to my HS grad
- she has np selling my ticket

help me

extras from an interview w/ the dears. cgal, he says he doesn't wanna be a dick. ;D

cam, it's not the same eric carr. at least i'm pretty sure it isn't. i thought the same thing when i saw his name before, but the tND one doesn't seem to be into the pitchfork sort of music. and the pitchfork eric carr is pretty involved w/ pitchfork. although i'm sure the tND one wouldn't have liked whirlwind heat much either. :D

the bjork show's too expensive for me. go see STARS. go go go.

radiohead.tv seems to be up and running now! w00!!!

lol, i think i could find the other blog if i look. i'm afraid i could find it not looking *l*

stina, it was a link to a pitchforkmedia.com review on whirlwind heat. the reviewer was Eric Carr. I was wondering if it could be tND taper guy. I think that was his name.

marc, i'm up for trying to get MMVA tickets. I entered to win tickets and the only preformers i know of so far are michelle branch and i believe 50cent. crassy will probally be inside the building with her boy rainbow and rick. good job for u crassy :)

"I went to NXNE last night AND MISSED MATT BARBER BY HALF of a fuckin' HOUR. ".....
did you fall asleep and realize he was done when u woke up?

bedouin soundclash.. i recall seeing there name around here on blogger. i didnt think they were comparable to the chemical brothers but i never did give them a listen.

as for stina's concert scheduale i dunno about most those bands. I'm kinda up to seeing the Stars/BSS show on the thursday or friday. Tickets are 12 adv and 15 at the door. if tickets are less expensive then last time around im up for seeing Mraz.

other concert interests:
bjork - aug 26 (tix on sale wed)
foo fighters - july 7 (tix on sale now)
white stripes - aug 5/6? (?)

o d k.
crazy movie fest, u should download 24 =p.
what's empire about?
and the ring might be more scarry a 2nd time around. i didnt find it that bad but seeing that girl on the mtv movie awards yesterday reminded me of some creepy scenes. 'all must sufferrrrrrrrrr'
what's this waterfront fest u speak off? im surprised i missed the bread and honey fest.

marc--are you PAYING ATTENTION?!??
:D
(they're playing on thursday as well, but you're supposed to be at andrew spice that nite.)
i might be back again around the end of the month...i need to pick up US $$$. :))

btw, cam--that link you posted about some tND thing isn't working...

holy crap crissandra--you missed him again?!? i've seen the dude play like a million times now...he's coming to the grad club here this friday.
you liked bedouin's set? yay! some of those guys were in christine's residence in first year (and maybe her floor, too). the bassist is in con-ed w/ me. they used to have a djembe player...i think that their sound is lacking something w/out him.
have fun at coldplay. :)

ppl--GO TO THE FUCKING STARS SHOW!!!!
here is your concert schedule for next weekend (i'll make it pretty for y'all):


*****************************************************************


_thursday_: andrew spice @ c'est what w/ andrea florian and jeff straker ($8)

_friday_: STARS/broken social scene @ lee's palace ($12)

_saturday_: ed harcourt/sondre lerche @ lee's palace ($16.50)


*****************************************************************

attend, have fun, and report back to me next monday. ;P

[note: btw, it is hotly rumoured that mr. mraz will be visiting lee's at the end of august. i shall be there!]

Omg, the Pixies are on the radio!?! Edge Retro Sundays. Here Comes Your Man! I'm not liking this system...Does everyone's Blog look like one big ICQ message box with your Internet Explorer holding it together? I don't see this really growing on me anytime soon. Is there any way of publishing a post without having to preview it first?

This Blogger is looking different every time I log in. What the hell!

Cgal, APRONS!!?? How lovely. How dare they! *wink and a thumbs up*

Party perks are awesome. I'm still getting over the excitement. I think this just made me realise how I'm not wanting school anymore...industry parties are not helping the situation.

Christina, I thought it was you! I saw your dad's name on the VIP report list on Saturday morning when I opened. Weird! And the peeps aren't that bad, it's just when it's Friday, things get ugly. And I'm starting to feel as old as Erwin since everyone's basically still in high school except for a handful. How'd you like Standing, etc.? I just watched disc two of Season 4 of Sex & the City. This was hilarious: (Steve's at the door, down on one knee ready to propose to Miranda because she's pregnant)
Miranda: "What are you fucking crazy?" (Don't worry, Steve was relieved).

I went to NXNE last night AND MISSED MATT BARBER BY HALF of a fuckin' HOUR. I was so not meant to see him perform. GAHHHH!!!! However, I did enjoy a set by Bedouin Soundclash (playing my other Santa Monica song and the Johnny one...not sure what it's called) and Audiosleep. (Rach). And I think a Miss Dana Edmonds. But by the time we watched her performance...I woulda passed out wherever I landed.

I'm not sure if it was the beer talking but I really enjoyed Audiosleep. It reminded me a bit of tND, a bit of the Chem Bros. Very nice. I scored a free promo CD and met the bassist and keyboard...ist? Was there even a bassist? *lol* The lead singer of Bedouin Soundclash has such a nice sound. "Me likey".

I also saw this awesome black t-shirt on a girl that said on the back, "Everything will never be ok." in big clear yellow print. I think that sums up a lot of things for me but at the same time is really comforting. I don't know, I've been feeling a lot of that lately.

i like the refreshing too.
molson amp is at ontario place. get off on the lakeshore exit and follow the signs.

i like Live on Releases newest single. "let's go". well i like it more then there first.

lol stina, bbs and the stars seem to be playing all the time. thursday, friday, and i presume the rest of the weekend too.

i finished season 1 of 24. it was good =)

yeah, no guestlist for the WS for me this time around. :(

rach, i'm assuming you want us to be curious about this blog of yours since you keep mentioning it, so what's the url? or are we supposed to sleuth it out?

i'm so tempted to head back to t.o. again next weekend...stars/bss are playing, this guy w/ a beautiful voice named andrew spice is playing and sondre lerche is back again opening for ed harcourt this time.

i just watched the tony awards!!! best awards show ever. sarah jessica parker and matthew broderick, the hot guy that was in ep. 1, season 5 of sex and the city, ALAN CUMMING, robert sean leonard, bernadette peters, hairspray, new stuff that i hadn't heard about like poetry def jam or something like that...can it get any better?! no.
i've got a crazy list of stuff to see now when i go to ny. plane tkt is bought!

watched the pianist and standing in the shadows of motown last nite. good stuff. i wanna buy all these music-related dvd's now. namely shadows of motown and 24 hr party ppl. i don't recognize anyone at rogers anymore. they don't look too fun, either. :(

she was hot, and was nice. she kept smiling at our dancing and my attempted dance with you to the beatles *l*
i would say that guy was her man bc of the contact and the fact she got his drinks. other then the guy having a mullet he appeared to be nice too. it's too strange were posting about them still. *hush*

i called u cgal to go out with rach and i to tims or something. (yes marc, i used the phone)
the weather hence turned crap and things have been put off.
if u do wanna do something give me a ring.
or rach.
this phone bit might catch on

The White Stripes have been rumoured to play Toronto Aug 5 or 6. (yes, 2 dates have arrose now).
Kool Haus.
i'm in for going again but i expect it to be hard as fuck for getting tickets.

cgal, are u or j interested in seeing foo fighters july 7th @ arrow hall? 30$

marc, michelle branch will be preforming at the MMVA's. what happened to the SARS fear?

stina, is this the New Deal taper guy? (the writer of this article)

ladeeda.
work was actually fun today. i'm S H O C K E D.
crissy: that line you pointed out from the article made me laugh so hard as well! didn't you just picture some crazy lil'chipmunk with the thumbs up. making kids believe they CAN acheive ANYTHING!;)
Cammie: ah ha! i fooled you. i was wearing socks w/those shoes..they were just meant so you couldn't see them. insanity. and that girl WAS nice, and beautiul. i wonder if that man was her boyfriend because he was so honkytonk ugly.

and, not being answered i'll ask again
ARE THE WHITE STRIPES GOING TO PLAY A SHOW IN TORONTO?? i know you guys were talking of it, but is it certain? much thanks if answered;)

off.
cgal xx

lol, that hannah.

stina, your link was a bit overated.
the pic posted made up for it.
i didnt think other ppl listened to bright eyes... atleast not that many ppl

christina agularia's video fighter i really like.
i would say it's her sexiest video and most original.
ed the sock was a host on EC tonight..... he insaulted the lot :)

i'm going downtown tomorrow, not today. maybe.

the funniest and most victorious news ever!

cute sharpie drawing of coachella by hannah sung of muchmusic:

radiohead was FANTASTIC yesterday... i wish i actually coulda been there!!! the audience at the coliseum was so damned tame. argh. i'm beginning to be able to predict which songs they're gonna play. :) i like that. i need floor tkts for the molson amp show!!!!!!
it was funny to see ed and jonny banging on drums at the beginning of the show for there, there. ed broke a stick!! :D i swear him and that hot guitar dude from broken social scene are related. their funky dance moves are similar, too!

why wouldn't bright eyes make the bill?!

crissandra--lucky butt!!! those partee perks are damned nice, huh??
are you free all day on sat? are you _really_ gonna go to the show this time??
i need to buy new pants, and i'm either gonna go to sq. 1 today or look downtown tomorrow. i also wanna visit the bata shoe museum already.

i have no plans this weekend :)
well the regular work in the morning and that's it.

nadine, where did u find the camel toe song? haha
and nice sum up of the awards. any good music preformances?

stine, i talked to a guy from Coke yesterday and his son works at mccarthy's. ummm anywhoo
are there lots of girls on your dragon boat team? on the 20th im doing the Relay for Life Run and on the 21st im going to see the salads (at the phoenix).

If anyone is interested in joining myself in the Relay For Life or Sponsering me, ( *smiles* ) then please follow the links or talk to me. The 12hr night relay to support the Canadian Cancer Society actually has some great events planned. (beach vollyball, movies, concerts, games, DRINKING, and such). Of course it's all in support of a good cause and is right here by my house.

crassy, you sound like a pro. good job. i knew u would be cool someday =p. luv ya :)

I'm able to get the best tickets availble for field day it appears right now!
here. it's pretty cheap considering the line up. stina, bright eyes made the bill!?!

Where were the Tea Party performing? I don't really like the stuff I hear on the radio but you know what, live concerts are so much better. Wish I was there!

I got an email about the new Kiss 92 changeover at work. All the email said was "At 4 pm today, Kiss 92 will be turning over into Jack 92, something about playing favourites from the 80's and 90's." I picture Mix 99, too.

Cgal, I'm glad you liked the story. ;) There was one line that just made me laugh out loud and I was going to post just that quote but I thought...what the heck, these guys deserver the WHOLE story.

"I knew I could do it—it was hard, yes, it's true. But if chipmunks can climb to the sky, so can YOU!" Chipper said, punctuating his message with a thumbs-up sign and a wink."

Nadine, were these the 2003 awards? I misread and thought there was an actual "let's mock Mariah" category or skit or something. Hehe!

I went to the NOW magazine party and the CHUM party last night. The booze flowed like water. Open bar...God, I'm gonna miss this place. I think I'm getting emotional. Rainbow and Rick touched me. My arms. It was special. Even though I don't think they're the coolest...it was special. I think we had a moment. Yes, I think we had a moment. I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!

COLDPLAY NEXT WEDNESDAY!

by the way...does anyone know what happened to Kiss 92????

hmm...the MTV movie awards should be called the "flavour of the moment" awards or the "let's mock Mariah awards"...bah...garbage.
Guest of honour? INSTA-tan! heheheh
Gollum's acceptance speech was _the_ best thing about the 2 hours...and catching a peek of Josh Hartnett too. He's grown into quite a strapping young lad :*)
Otherwise, the awards were pretty darn....boring.

This page refreshes so often...is that necessary?

oHhHhH, good weather for later today!! Enjoy it :)

im still adjusting to this new blogger. i lost my post twice.
so now il be really brief.

cgal, yes the tea party were a bit danceable. nicer on ears, good stage presnence.
hehe and you did look lovely. i saw the flowers in the outfit design at le chateau and thought it didnt work. not only did u pull that off but u were able to where those cool running shoe sandle things without socks =p.
i most enjoyed WIll playing and our dance. ppl gave us space and smiles. the hot girl with the guy and the mullet was so nice to us the entire nite.

i did find the radiohead tickets and just did return from seeing the show with stina. it was at the imax and complete sell out (since mid may). i was affraid right from when i got the tickets that seeing this show i would fall into a trance/sleep after the first song and through the rest of the show. it's happened to me almost every other time with this band being a fairly large reason why im so unfamiluar with them. during the 2nd half of the preformance i was quite more alert. they were playing songs from their last album and BIGGER singles which drew my attention to dancing in my seat and watching in wonder how the band adapted to playing the songs. the first half was just aswell but my mind drifted far away and often i would peer back at the screen starteled to the sound and seeing things in double vision.
thom york often mentioned that show was being brodcasted live through canada and was in a cheerful mood. they played 3 encores. i enjoyed the nite out and thought it was well worth it. critism to it would be that MTV left there dumb logo and crap up the entire time, the volume was too low at the start, we had to show up early. so more good things would be that they had prizes raffled out, more leg space in the imax seats, its a unique 1 time deal.

nite bloggerinos. 2morrow finding neemo?

ALLO ALLO!
And ugh! i'm not liking new blogger. but maybe that's because i hate change. ;)
how odd..this morning i never saw cammies post..and it has just appeared. that, and christina's post saying we were all "fruitheads" (you mean,that name is not designated to me...?*tear*)
christina i'm serious, don't check out marlowe. you'll be dissapointed. they were absolutely b o r i n g. the set dragged on for what seemed like forever. even marc's newfound gay friend @ the table next to us was drifting off;) *shakes the jinglebells*

tea party @ 107 avec cameron, rachel and von
what a truly terrific (aka fanfuckingtastic;) night! it was something different, it was spur of the moment, and i'm so glad we went. i was priveledged to have the night start off by cameron telling me i looked "lovely":) the first man on stage, "Will", was incredible. he was rocking out on an acoustic guitar and did a great job. sweet. but the music afterwards played by the dj was just incredible! cam and i danced it up...we even had people moving back for us;) throwing in some beatles was a great treat, "life goes on, braaaa lalalala the life goes on!". and smirnoff ice black is really good! i'm suprised;)
THE TEA PARTY what can i say? i'd forgotten how truly brilliant they were. even if you don't like them (WHICH YOU SHOULD!!;) you have to admit they have great talent. sounds just as good, even better!, live compared to their album. great stage presence, great sound, great lighting, great tunes! they played the classics from their first 2 cds, very danceable (right cam?:) and a couple slow tracks which made me want to cry (they're such an emotional band). seemed like they were having a great time, positive energy all around...just a beautiful night. we must do this again!!!! cam, research the school disco..we musssssssst attend!

so 3 cheers to a great night and to fabfuckingulous friends;)
cgal xxxx

crissy: that article was hilarious and awful!"So, this chipmunk wants us to believe that just because he climbed some stupid tree, anything is possible?" lol,nice. even though i agree with it..i also think it may be necessary to let children believe they can do/be whatever they want. if you grow up knowing the awful truth of life..that only a SLIM few actually climb to the top out of nothing, what would they have to look forward to?? yeah, when you're older, you realize that life is shit and all the crap you've been told as a child was just a lie to make the future seem magnificent...but it's somewhat easier to deal with when you're older than if you're a brighteyed innocent child that looks to the future..did that make sense? lol. thanks for that post;)

and cliff the jays weren't here yesterday?! lol!!!! thankfully we went to 107..that would have been hilarious if we showed up to an empty stadium;)

Oh yeah, season 4 of Sex and the City is out and I just finished disc one. I love this show! I can't wait for Showcase to launch Six Feet Under's first season. Yipee!



NEW YORK—If you work hard, believe in yourself, and never lose sight of your dreams, you can achieve anything you want, the make-believe children's-book character Chipper Chipmunk said Tuesday.





Above: The positive, pretend Chipper Chipmunk.

"No matter what, I've got to keep climbing!" Chipper said on page 11 of Chipper Chipmunk Climbs Straight To The Top, released Tuesday by Scholastic Books. "No matter how windy, no matter how lofty, I must never be scared to go high, says I!"
In the book, Chipper faces numerous challenges as he attempts to climb Majestic Mister Maple. The Blustery Westerly Wind blows this way and that, rocking Mr. Maple and slowing Chipper's progress. Scornful Squirrel tries to damage his morale, openly questioning whether Chipper can climb as far or as fast as he thinks he can. And Fearsome Fox utilizes direct, physical methods of obstruction to impede Chipper's ascent.
In the end, however, the fictional woodland creature triumphs over all adversity, including his own self-doubt.
"From down there, Mister Maple seemed tall as the sky, and it scared me so much I almost didn't try," Chipper mused from the tree top. "But now that I'm up at the tippity tip-top of the tree, there's nothing at all that's as high up as me!"
After reaching the top, the pretend rodent issued a challenge to all who witnessed his feat.
"I knew I could do it—it was hard, yes, it's true. But if chipmunks can climb to the sky, so can YOU!" Chipper said, punctuating his message with a thumbs-up sign and a wink.
According to Dr. Roland Gibson of the American Council For Literature & Ethics, Chipper's core message—that people can be or do anything they want—is a fallacy widely perpetuated in children's books.
"Chipper's unshakable faith in success through hard work and persistence isn't something we typically encounter in our daily lives," Gibson said. "This groundless assumption that an individual's capacity for achievement is limitless is a particular failing of children's literature."
Continued Gibson: "Chipper's success took place in the extremely narrow field of tree-climbing, and was achieved free of such real-world factors as class, wealth, religion, or race. To assume that we can apply these lessons to our infinitely knottier, more complicated real-world lives is a wild oversimplification."
Gibson said that, with the exception of certain celebrities and politicians, statements like Chipper's are almost always made by talking animals, superheroes, omniscient narrators, anthropomorphic trains, wandering magicians, friendly dragons, sentient heavenly bodies, Jesus, and other characters subject only to the rules of narrative causality.
In spite of Chipper's good intentions, his positive message has not had much of an impact on the non-imaginary public.
"So, this chipmunk wants us to believe that just because he climbed some stupid tree, anything is possible?" said Dawn Dressler, a Wichita, KS, single mother of three. "Chipper wouldn't be so sure of himself if he had to hold down two jobs, had no dental insurance, and lost half his pension to corporate corruption. Let's see him reach for his goddamn dreams then."
