A quick update (cos really, nothing ever happens around here, lets be honest.)

Hey team,

Just a quick update about whats been goin on in TO and whatnot. This (hopefully) won't be a novel like all my other posts because honestly, nothing major has happened since the last one.

Lets start with the present day, then we'll move onto the past and then onto the future. Just because I want to.

Righto, well, last night I went with a friend to a live taping of MTV Live which was actually pretty cool. If you know me at all you'll know that last semester at uni I did a paper called Studio Production so of course I was interested in how shows like this were actually done compared to how we were taught in class. Surprisingly, it was very similar. The only difference was that everyone there knew what they were doing and we weren't really in a studio or anything - more like they just set up shop in a night club for the night. That place actually would make an awesome club. Anyways.... uhhh, actually, scrap that, I totally just lost my train of thought. I just got a call about organising accommodation this weekend (more on that later) so I kinda just forgot...what I was gonna...say.

Moving on. We went to see Brooke Fraser play live at the Mod Club last Friday night (cos you gotta support kiwi music right?) which was actually, to be honest was kinda disappointing. I'd never seen her live before but like, she didn't seem to want to be there that night. She also only made a fleeting comment about my flag (which I brought along - I mean, c'mon, wouldn't you?) and she pretty much just played her whole second album in it's entirety which I mean, is cool, I understand that she's trying to promote her 'new' album and whatnot but it would have been nice to hear some of her older stuff.... Anyways, after the gig I wanted her to sign my flag (I mean, c'mon, wouldn't you?) but apparently she left pretty much straight after the gig. And of course everyone we asked omitted this fact (except the one other kiwi guy in the band) so we ended up waiting around for like, 45 minutes for nothing.. The gig also finished just shy of 10pm which was kinda lame, but whatever, I wasn't really expecting an 11pm finish or anything like that. Most of our other friends though, were at another gig (Cut Copy and Presets) which didn't finish till way after ours did. So an early night it was. Which was fine, I mean, I wasn't really up for a big night anyways...

Saturday night we (attempted) to get into a rock club called 'tattoo'. I assume it was called this because of the tattoo parlour inside the club. That kinda fizzled out though, mainly cos we were still in line after midnight.... So I caught a taxi back home (aka the Primrose). Another uneventful night.

See? What did I tell you? Nothing much happens in Toronto. Also, uni work is starting to pile up for a lot of people now too which is understandable. I, for some reason don't seem to have much work to do and I keep getting the feeling that I actually might and don't know it.... You know that feeling right? It's not very nice. Not very reassuring.

And now onto some happier news. I finally have money in my Canadian bank account! Granted, it's only 13 cents but still! I'm happy. It means I'm making progress. On the advice of my wise sister, I set up two paypal accounts so I'm pretty much just paying myself money from my credit card into my Canadian account (which also means I get the true rewards dollars which is a bonus!). Anyways, this way I get to bypass all the security shit from my bank and it'll take almost the same amount of time to do it. Score. Thanks sis!

And now more happy news! We actually managed to get our shit together and this weekend we're headed to Montreal! All 20 of us... Man, I'll tell you what, it's hard organising 20 people but somehow we managed to do it. And, according to my calculations, it'll cost us a lot less than we thought to get there. We're looking at about $88 per person for travel and accommodation which I think is a bargain. But yeah, I don't think we're going out all of this week which is fine. It just means this weekend is gonna be huge. Huge like Canada.

Wow, ok, compared to my other posts, I think this one is a novella. But still, I'm sorry. I just get so carried away. It's one of my many flaws. Deal with it. God knows I do.

Four more weeks till joblessness (nothing much to report)

Ok, so there's not really much going on at the moment hence the lack of blog posts and such. I'm waiting on some stuff to send for my Canadian visa and after that all thats pretty much left are flights and travel insurance. But yeah, I have some ideas about some fun segments to do while I'm away, hopefully it'll be as great as I imagine it will be but we all know that's generally not how things really work out huh? (I'm gonna keep that under wraps for now anyway but keep an eye out for it ok?)

I only have 27 days left to go until I don't have a job! I'm not sure what that'll feel like right now as I haven't not had a job since I was about 15 so we'll see how that goes..... but no job generally = no money so I kinda have to spend it wisely but I've already got a substantial credit card debt which isn't that great. It's justified though. That's how I live with myself.

Oh, and just a quick note, this blog isn't really for anyone in particular. It's kinda just for me but you're welcome to read it and make some comments or whatever, it's just that I tend to forget stuff that happens.....

Oh, and also, apparently it's dark for 18 hours a day in Alaska from November to February so I may need to rethink that plan..... I still really wanna go but I guess there won't be much time to do anything worthwhile with 6 (6? 18 + 6..... carry the 1..... yeah, thats right) hours of daylight. So that's kind of a bummer (thanks sis).....

Also, I suppose a leaving party is in order. But when and where? I have no idea.
