It's been a while. Ages! Perhaps future Anthropologists will refer to this period of my life as an era. I think that an appropriate name for such an era would be the Album era. Yes, six months and a few odd weeks after we started, The Acorn finished our long, long overdue second full length. Well, I'm getting every so slightly ahead of myself - ( Read more... )

I am currently in Toronto visiting my significant other (who prefers not to be named in any of my various internet-related communiquées) enjoying Love and all that it has to offer. After a somewhat long and dark January in which we saw each other zero times (after Jan 2) February has been much warmer and shimmering in happy love-light. Of course, ( Read more... )

It had been almost a month since our last time together and we were going to be lucky if we could see each other next weekend, otherwise it would be until the second week of December.

Thankfully, they also made sure to include my most hated promo shot. Yes! All self-deprecation aside, it's actually pretty cool. Anyway, we leave for our ( Read more... )

last night les soft disastres played pop montreal, which was fun to say the least. the show itself, a maple music showcase at the casa, went well enough. we played first at 9:00 to not that many people, but of those there a many were friends so it was still a pretty nice time. but after our set? so amazing! first we headed across the street to ( Read more... )

I feel I must face a fact: I am bad with money. Well, not so much bad "with" it, since I actually behave quite rationally when I have a reliable source of income, but "without" it.
