Well, the band (Your Last Excuse) just had our longest gig ever. It was stinking hot, and between the 2 hour practice beforehand and the actual gig, I think I sweated out more than my body weight. We were playing at Jimmy Jazz downtown Guelph, and the second band could not make it - meaning we were the only band all night. We managed to pull ( Read more... )

The University of Guelph jazz ensemble (for which yours truly plays bass) played our end of the semester gig at Manhattan's last night, and it was awesome. Great place to play (little bit tight for a full band) and a bunch of people came out for it. Thanks to everyone for showing up, and those of you that couldn't make it will get an invite again ( Read more... )

You know what makes my day? When a group of girls in their underwear walk through the building cheering and dancing. That does *not* happen enough.

When it does happen, however, it makes me smile.

Man, I've had the busiest couple of weeks of my entire life. With midterms and various band practices, it seems like I haven't had five minutes of doing nothing in over a month. From Saturday to today I've had five midterms, and my last one is tomorrow. I'm going to be so happy when it's over ( Read more... )

So I went to see Across The Universe on Saturday (again) with acdc_girl2029 and Andy Farquharson and some other people. It was a fun night, but on the way to pick up Andy, I hit a porcupine with my car. It was already dead, but that beast of a corpse must have weighed 40 pounds! It sucked. We could hear a rattling noise underneath the car, and a bad smell ( Read more... )

Well, last night really was the last time we got to hang out with simonesss before she leaves. I think you know that we'll all miss you - it's very weird to think that you're not going to be there when we do stuff. I know you're going to meet a ton of friends in Vancouver, because that's just the way you are - everybody likes you. Have a great time, but ( Read more... )

I went to see Rocket Science at the Bookshelf last night with simonesss, acdcgirl_2029, Tess, Robyn, Heather, and Sam. I think I got everybody in there...

It was very funny. It lacked a little bit in the ending department, but there were some parts that made me laugh so hard I thought I might die. And having Blister In The Sun played by a cello and a piano really ( Read more... )

Well, simonesss is gone on Wednesday for Vancouver. The last few weeks have been awesome, and I'm sure others agree with me. There was a really nice going away party on Saturday, and afterwards a couple of us slept over at simonesss's house again and stayed up late watching bad internet cartoons. That seems to be our regular routine lately ( Read more... )

Man, solid weekend. On Friday night I went with Cameron, simonesss, jaz_plaz, and acdcgirl_2029 to see Resident Evil: Extinction. If you saw the second one and didn't really like it, don't worry. The third one is awesome - so much better than the second. I think Milla Jovovich may be the coolest person ever. That's some serious competition we're talking here. Just general ( Read more... )

I went to my first practice for the University jazz band last night. I'm playing bass, so I'm a little rusty (I learned to play the bass last semester of grade 12, and didn't play much over the summer)but I think it went alright. They didn't have a bass player at all last week, so I think they're just thrilled that they got someone that can read ( Read more... )
