Wilco show was so good. SO good. They played all my favourite songs, some awesome new ones, and even some from Mermaid Avenue. I tried to get backstage to meet them, but my connections were useless.. maybe next time, Jeff Tweedy. I did, however, get some free drinks thanks to the lovely Monsieur Hanlin. I can't believe I got to see Wilco for free ( ( Read more... )

I just got back from my painting class. We did portraits tonight and mine started out horrendously, but then it got better and I really liked it, except my teacher hated it because she said it wasn't "juicy". So, I threw turpentine on her and ran away. Just kidding.

My new job is excellent. I get to look at/talk about cool art all day, and hang out and drink coffee with cool artists. We also order pizza and old ladies bring us baked goods. Yummm. People should come visit me lots (it's on Hollis St. next to the AGNS gift shop). Ok, thanks.

Also, I'm going to turn 20 soon. My teenage years will be over forever.

I got a new job! It's about time. I will now be working at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia... good riddance Toys R Us.

So, it looks like I'm going back to Montreal for the weekend. Fun, fun. And Ariana is getting her lip pierced (against the wishes of Brian). I hope hope hope that my landlord won't make me keep my lease for another year, and I also hope hope hope that this apartment I'm going to look at is as beautiful as I've been led to believe.

Summary of my life since my last update:

-Did very badly on exams. Deferred one, to be written at the end of August.
-A lot of drinking with the family and friends back in Dartmouth. Tragedies bring familes closer together. They also result in a lot of drinking.
-Visit to Montreal. Not the same as it used to be.
-Still unemployed. Interview tomorrow ( Read more... )

I feel the need to confess that I am a phony ( Read more... )
