things I haven't told you about...
umm, why am I getting so bad on reporting on things I've done? well, I'm frickin busy! that's prolly why. anyway - things i've done recently... in short:UPDATE: Photos are posted from all these events!! See this post: my busy life... in pictures
- last thurs: this show at the parkside. ROCKED! great to see Fastpass, and my client/friend Oscar kick some ass on the bass. (don't rhyme that, although I know you're tempted too.. it doesn't work!) and then extra fantastic to see Hijack the Disco play again and then meet/chat it up with all them afterwards. I have gotten to know Mike's (one of the lead singers) brother, Taylor but still hadn't met all the Hijack boys formally yet... so that was cool! And they sounded GREAT and put on a rockin show that reaffirmed for me even more how far these guys will go. Their drummer Trevor absolutely rocks on the drums, and even pulled out a kick ass whistle blow that made me look back at Misty and mouth, "I am SO getting a whistle!". I knew a ton of ppl there, some other clients I work with (at the same company Oscar works at) were there suporting him too, which was awesome... and my friend Jim even stopped by later to catch the last set. Overall, I was so stoked to be out at a show, drinking beers & being surrounded by other music loving friends = it's what I do best!
- last friday: happy hour at the hush hush w/ jem, tania, misty, ted, heather, colin and more! Then Jem, Tania & I left and met Darren over at Southern Exposure's Monster Drawing Rally - which was awesome!! My 3rd year in a row going to this thing & it is like FOOD FOR MY CREATIVE APPETITE! I love it and loved being there with my pals. I snapped a bunch of pics, but have I uploaded them yet? no! but Darren posted about it on his blog.. but he doesn't have post pages up for me to easily link to the post.. hech hemm, Darren!
- saturday: I tried to work.. but I dunno.. I didn't get as much as I would have liked done.. and then went over to Rebecca's house to say Bon Voyage to her, as she's going to work in Singapore for a few months. *weep* My gym buddy!!!!!!! Super sad, but she'll have a neat experience, and so that'll be cool. The BEST part about going to see her was she gave me this scarf she's been making me for a long time and it's SOOOO incredible!! Once again, I have photos - but they're not up yet. But just wait till you see! Then I went over & met Sarah Hatter, Lyne & Jim at the LAC. Buzz was there, and shortly after MJ showed up, and then a little later Lucia & Jane, too! But by that time I had to skat.. I wasn't even drinking, and I had to run one last errand before 10pm and then coming home to cuddle up with a movie. :) I have been taking REALLY good care of myself, so as to be sure I'm all healed up for this week of ROCK! (post coming soon about that)
- Oh and the movie I watched: Maria Full of Grace. SO GOOD. Intense, yes, but no reason to not watch it. It's a fantastic drama... and way more about this girl's life in Columbia and the experience than it is about drugs. Anyway I recommend it. Also it's great because these girls had never acted, and this movie has risen up out of film festivals and gotten attention and recognition all over the globe. Which is cool! Not to mention it's helped heighten awareness of the dangers for desperate youths in Columbia considering becoming a drug mule, and has even had reports of people changing their minds due to seeing this movie.
- sunday: I actually worked my arse off on Sunday. :) wahoo! Caught up on lots of stuff and then got myself in bed by 11:45 (again on plan to totally rest up for week of ROCK!)
- monday: work, work & more work! yay! hahhaa.. seriously, things are heatin up around here & I have a ton of work on my plate. Hence why I'm behind on the posting and stuff. But I will say it's good! I'm really excited about the projects coming up.
- Later lastnight, because I just couldn't work any. more. I watched a movie at 10... The Village. Everyone has panned this flick.. but I actually thought it was REALLY cool! Great twists and overall a very clever plot. I dunno why everyone panned it.. I really liked it. I knew I would and shouldn't listen to reviewers. I was also nervous I'd be too scared to sleep afterwards (cuz I'm a big scaredy cat about scary flicks), but I totally wasn't. It'll make you on edge and feel fear a little.. but overall you're not totally freaked like some other scary movies where you think at any minute the boogie man is going to bust through the door and kill you. Not that I would know that feeling, because I don't rent those movies for exactly that reason! hahaha
