All weekend I was canoeing down the North Saskatchewan, Saunders to Rocky, which is a route full of rapids. Not the first day and not much on the second day either, but then we did Devil's Elbow twice and then all these single standing waves that were just huge! Me struggling to paddle as another wave hit me at chest height. It was so much fun. ( Read more... )

Last night I was so tired. So was Kelda. So tired, even each individual hair on our heads were exhausted. So as soon as we got home, we both went to bed (her in her room, me in this big empty space in the scary basement, ok fine it's my room now). An hour and a half later, I am getting nowhere with this sleep thing, just yawning incessantly and ( Read more... )

Oh in a month and a half I will see the Weakerthans. OH! oh. It will be so good. Now I will just have to find an accomplice. Daley offered, if I pay for his plane ticket. I wish I were rich so I could fly him out for a night to see a concert with me. I think they will sing Left and Leaving. I think I will die a little when it starts "My city is ( Read more... )

So, I am home from Toronto. And between insanely hot temperatures, walking til our legs were screaming in pain (literally, you should have heard the pained conversation my legs were having with Kelda's) and extremely frustrating little cousins, I had a good time. I love my grandma, and my family is slightly insane and hilarious, and I miss Daley. I ( Read more... )

So you know how I was posting about the magic of CISV, and how it can cheer you up anytime anywhere just thiking of all those amazing people? Well, sometimes it has the reverse effect. Sometimes you are at folk fest all day catching glimpses of a boy who looks ridiculously like Egi but isn't. Or you talk to paco for the first time in a billion ( Read more... )

So this week at the green market... we made no money. Oh well, we made enough last week to cover our spot, so it's okay. It was almost totally different vendors from last week. The woman next to us (Aly) was selling organic flowers and teaching us about buddhism. We were reading this buddhist demon spotting mantra when the evangelists crept up on ( Read more... )

I had a very excellent day. I was just generally in a good mood, and then this sweet old man told me I was beautiful, and then at lunch I found Lauren waiting for her shift to start so we just sat and talked, and it was just very excellent. They even played It's Raining Men on the radio. Ah. Now lets hope my big brother comes home, because if he ( Read more... )

The Wet Secrets are playing August 10 at Broken City and I am going. I AM GOING. I don't care if I have to work or if I'm not 18... I want to go! I missed Joel Plaskett and Julie Doiron and the Great Lake Swimmers and alllllll of Sled Island. I want to hear the secret march live. I want to be old enough to enjoy all the great canadian indy music ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the first day of this years Green Market on 17th. Kelda and I woke up early (aka she jumped on my bed and called me fugly, then rolled me off my very high bed onto the floor and my bruise). We packed up our insanely huge back pack and picked up our heavy saw horses and made the very very long walk to the bus. Our bus ride was... ( Read more... )
