So, i went to see The Hives tonight, and would like to say IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO GO, DO IT DO IT DO IT.

Easily one of the best shows I've ever been to- these guys have amazing energy and stage presence, and make for one hell of an atmosphere. Plus, they're fun to boogie to!

PS THEY ARE PLAYING EDMONTON ON SATURDAY YOU SHOULD TOTALLY GO.

All I can say is... OH MAN.

I am super stoked and can't hold this in any longer- it looks like next week I'll be carpooling down to Lethbridge with a couple friends in order to see Hey Ocean! perform once again, this time at The Slice.

There isn't much that I love more than live music, especially live music that I can enjoy in the company of good friends. Hey O never fails to provide a spectacular show, and I hope to see a bunch of familiar faces while I'm there!

It's pretty crazy how it came about, too. A few of us were essentially just perusing the show schedules and saw that they had a Lethbridge show next Thursday night, and after a few moments of sitting around pondering it, I casually suggested that, y'know, maybe we should just drive down, given that none of us work the Thursday night or have class Friday morning. And thus the road trip planning began.

It's a little nuts to keep driving out of town to see these guys, but they're just that fabulous. Very much fun to dance to, incredibly kind and warm people, and always up for a laugh. If they come to your town, you should go!

I should also mention that my friend Chelsea set up a new blog down yonder, and will also be attending the show. She may have also just posted about wanting to go to said show, and may or may not have used one of my photographs from their last show. You should check her out!

This is creeping the heck out of me. What happened to the days when kids would put on a burlap sac to be a couch potato, or when they'd throw on a sheet to be a ghost? What happened to dressing up like Care Bears and Unicorns?

Also, You Have to be Kidding Me.

It has been a while since I did a proper update! Last weekend was my birthday, and I had a pretty good time! I admit, there were a lot of really annoying things that happened, but overall I'm glad with how everything went. I got to head out to Edmonton to spend time with my Folks and Friends up there, so it was definitely a good feeling to get away from work, school, and the pressures of that stuff!  Plus, I got some really awesome gifts! The top two highlights include getting to have coffee with Mikkel and Jess, and getting the cards I ordered from David Malki which included a card that has Yet to be Released! It's pretty cool!

Also, I'm wondering what you think of me!

Greyhound never fails to disappoint. It also never fails to provide with AWESOME STORIES.

[Disclaimer: I'm tired, and so this is fairly incoherent. 38 hours without decent sleep?  Ah well. Enjoy!]

I keep not posting on here, even though I check my friends page daily. I'm not sure what that really says about me, except that as long as I know what's going on with other people, I'm content. And perhaps that I'm an internet stalker, of course.

I am heading off to Beautiful British Columbia on Tuesday, which is both fantastic and a little frightening. Between now and then I've got a shwagload of farewells, birthdays, and shifts at work to fit in, and while I love my friends dearly and want to celebrate with them, it's really not looking like I'm going to see the majority of them. Oh wells. In the name of going to various beaches and doing a solo trip, it's worth the sacrifice.

I'm going to attempt to post more regularly starting now, although I think we all know how well that's not going to go. But we'll see what happens, I guess. Not only will I (hopefully) put up some links to photos, but I might also post some of the artsy things I've been working on as of late? WHO KNOWS!?

so...er... yeah! This trip is going to be weird. I'm staying with family for the first couple nights, but then I'm taking off and couch surfing between friends places for my remaining days, which includes an extra greyhound and two ferries. woo! Plus, while I'm gone there will be both a stellar Lunar Eclipse (tuesday night!) and a wicked ass meteor shower, and apparently i'm going to be ina  PRIME location to view it! (saturday, sept. 1st).

also, i can't type, apparently! time for bed, and hopefully something else will be posted soon...
