odk, that is one cool dream. made me think of LOTR the 2 towers with new social meanings.

updating xp to service pack is a good idea.
downloading and running adware.com is pretty good as it cleaned out most problems with my computer. spy bot seek and destroy is another program that kills things norton may miss.

i think nadine was referring to the blackberry incident =p

ps - nice update to the blog discription *cough* marc

Karen, download "Microsoft Antispyware" - trust me it's GOOD
Your computer should work fine after you run it

And Marc's suggestion is good too

poor paris hilton

yet again.

blogger seems to be running a bit slower.

Last week was supposed to be my hell week but it turned out to be a rather good one. Exams went by alright. The sarah slean concert I went to was fantastic. That was the first time I saw her play with her full band and it was a really good show. Ash's/Rachelle's bday at lucid was very fun. TY marc for driving. On after thought, drunk free running is an unwise movement.

Hit the Phoenix on Saturday nite. It's really different now that the place is not filled with smoke. Same songs, somewhat same dancers. I think it's the only place where even ugly ppl got a shot of scorring a 3some. It was a fun night regardless.

hymm i saw spoon somewhere else, did they just sign with a Beggars Banquet lable?

Stars @ Lee Palace in march. i want to go
THe Kills @ horse show. april - interested
Brenden Benson @ horse shoe. april 11. not THAT interested (sis's bday)
Sarah Slean @ The Phoenix. april 16. semi interested!

Cameron Bay.

he was on JON STEWART???!!! ahhhhhhhh and i missed it.
yeah. i still like him. haven't been keeping up w/ him very much lately...though i did know about the fragrance thing. :D
does it repeat ever? do i have to d/l it from somewhere now?

marc rocks for d/l-ing the new spoon album for me. it's three months early. i liiiike it.

hope you all had a good valentines.

my romance was a finance exam *l*.
but i did wake up to the surprise of sarah slean on the mix99. it kept me busy for most the rest of the day working on it digitally.

rach, here is some info on the kills.

Happy Valentines ppl :)
i hope you all have a lovely day. I have exams.

rach, good job on helping a stanger and not getting screwed for it :)
i found myself doing good turns almost everyday for ppl. it does feel nice.

jack white and loretta lynn tonight won best country album at the grammys among others. their speech was adorable, the show was pretty good too. joss stone and melissa ethdridge (?) were dynamite and alicha keys with jamie fox were hot too.

I'm going to see Sarah on Thursday :)
really looking forward to that nite.

anyone want to see The Kills w/ me? this show will likely sell out...

hehe oh my i guess we all know we're friends when we're all freaked out at the same time. my money issues always bother me in the back of my mind but especially tonight, i just saw my visa statement and i'm practically still hyperventilating, lol. although this is something i've truly brought on to myself, versus school scenarios mentioned previous, i dunno what i'm gonna do with myself.

but marc is right (this time). i'm just gonna go on and make as much money as i can and pay off debts as best i can. which *probably* means looking for a better paying job and leaving this nice vacation of sleeping and working twice a week.

karen, like rachie says, you will find your niche. it's not a race or a competition so there's no need to feel behind. just relax and enjoy the moment as much as you can. we're all in the same boat together. some days feel darker than others but there's always a light at the end of the tunnel and friends to help you find it. :)

rach, i know you're feeling the same way but contemplating a lot of different personal questions. you have a lot of goals that sound impossible especially when they look like they're stacking up but just like marc said just keep going and work your way through it, don't stop! just don't forget when you're tired to take a breather and ask a friend to take you to have some ice cream and go to shoppers. ;)

hm, what am i missing.... KUMBAYA!?

DONE.

you guys, its valentine's (valentime's) weekend? anyone getting TRASHED?

i know how some of u guys are feeling. i can get really anxious if i start thinking about what my life will be like after i graduate in a few months.
right now the plan is to work...... real world?
god damn.* i'l be good this lent.

SHOWS coming up
feb 16/17 - Sarah Slean. sold out
april 11th - brendan benson, horseshoe (my sisters bday)
also in april at the horseshoe is The Kills (not the killers, sorry crassy)

stina, the arcade fire was mention on the gilmour girls today. young daughter asked mother if she wanted to hear the album, popped it into her CD player. i have a strong sense of feeling this is something u already know. did u catch jack white on 60 minutes? i missed that one.

LOL, oh nadine. u reminded me that John Mayor was making a reality show. titled: The John Mayor reality show? either way, lame.

crass, el macombo i think is correct. no reason to be embarassed by that all. it was a nice chat.

ohhhhhhh the CBC has banged out another winner of a site for canadian music.
CBC radio 3. cuff the duke, arcade fire, stars, fiest, white stripes, death cab for cuttie, etc etc

Cameron Bay.

After watching a few episdoes of Chapelle's Show, I must say that John Mayer is kind of cute. He is also an awesome guitar player.
However, his songs still suck and he still looks like a geek anytime he tries to dress up.

Rach, probation officer sounds cool.

wow,
nice posting guys. glad u got the videos stina, hope you get over the flu soon.
the one handed guitar playing was most impressive. remember jack white doing that at the hershey centre playing ball and biscuit while sucking his thumb? jack's also the only guy i have seen play the piano and key board at the same time. my fave part of that particular video is the ending where he sings away from the mic and the theatres accoustic just carries his voice.

the video is rather spiffy (although large) but i was a bit aprehensive to recorde as i would be rather easy to spot out by the audience and especially the band. in the second video the guy from guitar was standing pretty much right above us. the quality of these shots were way better the CMW ones i got.

I might be up for watching Sunday at the fest. not the biggest Ron Sexsmith fan but am currious to what the other acts might bring. it's just 6$ and is so damn close to u guys.

rach,
may i ask what's stressing you out? my guess is school work and a friends wedding?
glad your moving past IME. i'm in a bit of a whirl wind of romance over some music. as i told crassy, i skipped class on friday and spent hours googling over records/interviews and rarities. stina, your WS Christmas album is rather collectable. seems to be some heavy indicators that the WS are ready to drop a new album before the years end.

Cameron Bay.

i feel so bad i haven't kept up with blogger until rach and i had many fond memories of the early days of blogger...!

just this week i had to change my email address for a few reasons but also cause mainly i feel like i've outgrown my old one and that it is spiritually time for a new one. thatsawesome_(AT)hotmail.com for those of you that are still wondering why this address tried to add you to your msn! my old crissy account is NO LONGER active!

cgal, sorry about kingston, i have to admit i'm not so up to date with the stars and taking time off work would be a bummer on my bank account... so it just wouldn't have worked out with me :(

i've applied to school for next year to humber, sheridan, durham, niagara and seneca. i really plan on going to sheridan but who knows?

*edited crassys email so she will not get spammed. cam

when have i ever encouraged you ppl to take drugs or go to bed?!

speaking of the b-town indie arts fest, you should go tomorrow (sunday)--jim guthrie is awesomeness. not to mention ron sexsmith.

man, arcade fire craziness. conan last week, then something like 3 shows in ny w/ david byrne joining them for a cover of naive melody...wish i was there!!!!!

i'm sooo siiiiiick.
stupid flu.

p.s. cam, thanks for the ctd vids. don't you love/hate how the guitarist can play w/ one hand?!

okay cgal,
i thought i replied in regards to kingston. newhoo

i did however check out that brampton music fest that stina had posted.
it's in the brampton theatre and dirt cheap. i wanted to go on wednesday but crass and i caught CTD there yesterday. good show, chatted with wayne a bit after. he was nice. they were fantastic. you can have a look, but it will soon be gone.
