drunk bosses and boy(s) and exams (that suck)
well i haven't posted in a couple days because i've been sooo busy. so now, there's a big one coming atcha.
Tuesday September 28th
i'm not really into to skipping class this year, but this had a good cause. the chance for 1. free food and 2. free cds!
my work, Sunrise Records, has been holding manager meetings with all the record labels.
this week it was Universal Music. our asst manager couldn't go so i took his place.
it was pretty cool. we watched a video thing on upcoming releases (yay for Eminem, Black Eyed Peas, and Vanessa Carlton) and then we saw two bands play: Boy and the Marble Index.
everyone got so drunk. my bosses bosses boss was so drunk. it was...interesting.
all in all, great night. met some cool people.
have a new appreciation for the steel town and Ferrari's. haha.
Yesterday September 29th
ok so my developmental pschology professor assigns an exam only three weeks into term when we've only had two classes. and exam on five freaking chapters - and we're not talking short ones either. i was studying like crazy yesterday - more than i have studied for an exam since first year! and i didn't even finish studying everything. chapter one took me five hours!!!
Today September 30th
exam went ok. wrote the professor a little note about how i didn't like the rushedness of it all.
watching That 70s Show
Without a Trace was a repeat.
video time and congrats to cheebs!
firstly let me say a HUGE congratulations to my good friend Cheebs for landing the job of Director of Publicity for Drive Thru Records
secondly, i would like to comment on the weather
this may sound boring but i have an issue
ok so it's freezing cold when i get up and get dressed in the morning
then i get out from class and end up getting heat stroke on the way home in the car
this is my issue. LOVE warm weather. but don't like "haha psych" warm weather.
like it's teasing me.
in other news. i finally was able to film my video for my Introduction to Electronic Media class today.
took me 2 hours to set it up and 20 mins to shoot, then only 5 mins to take it down.
the project was supposed to be on a fear, so i chose to do it one being alone -> and the second part of the project explores the social and cultural context that egg the fear on. should be fun.
here are some still shots from the room!
what took so long was that i had to hang the transparencies where i printed popular love songs and Shakespearean sonnets.
heckled and some HBs
walking to class today, some random guy hanging out of his friends car with a megaphone yelled at me today: "hey pink pants, you look good today"
it was weird. that guy obviously has no life. but thx for the compliment.
everyone should listen to this and this. they're both really good.
It was justin's birthday yesterday so i'd like to post HBJ, and HBM for DJ Quells as well, and it's Ronaldo's Today too so another HBR is in order. have fabulous days!
i just have to say...
i have the most fabulous friends
i love all of them and they are so great
they just make me happy and honoured to know them
hugs everyone!
as promised
here are some pix from the photo shoot janie and i did on sunday for my digital photography class
dans class
so we're here just chillin. nadine is talking about something so i really should listen....
nah... Xtina and Matt are hanging out here too
everyone is logging in and figuring out their account stuff and we've finished already so here we are
sitting in all our glory
eeek
gtg
nadine is looming
new comment style
so when i first did this, i thought i had accidentally deleted all the previous comments but it looks like it's ok
new way of commenting is through HaloScan a la blog de both H77 and Justi. just click on the comment spot on the bottom left of the post and anyone can post a comment!
if you want to see the old comments, you have to click on the link of the blog entry it was on.
three cheers for HaloScan!
so it turned out ok
at first when i got out of the shower i panicked cause it looked like my roots were orange. but it's ok, i missed a couple spots so if u look really closely, my head is kinda randomly patchworky.
it's a LOT better than it could have been
i'll never learn will i? haha
and i'm quite happy that i have reconnected with my good friend Long.
missed u buddy!
this could be disastrous...
i'm currently trying to die my roots with an at-home higlighting kit
i guess i can die over it if it's really bad
hmmm...my head is tingling...i hope my hair doesn't fall out
hahaha
this one is for Justi!
Justi says that i have a photo shoot every time i get my hair cut, and it's partially true! this time though, i did it specifically for you!!
it's so long you may say!
it's true, i was going to hack it all off, but i thought i'd try something different
the bangs are going to piss me off, but i like the way they look. haha.
i'm such a rebel
i'm wearing white and it's after labour day!
mwooohaha
Les Choristes
Today, Gillian and I went to see Les Choristes, which translates to The Choir from French, and it was so amazing. I was done in French and had subtitles in English, but i was able to understand most of the french.
If any of you are around to go and see this film at the festival, it is playing again tomorrow at 2pm at the Paramount 4
it's well worth it
and what is really cool is that the director and producer both come up and talk about the piece before the screening. and then afterwards, there was a choir that came and sang the songs that the choir in the movie sang. it was so beautiful and i am completely thrilled that i was able to see it
thank you Lisa Tr for giving us the tickets!

Toronto film festival tomorrow with Gillian
a French film, can't remember the name
hope it's good!
everyone is connected
i don't think i've ever gone into a movie theatre hoping to see a commercial, but this one stuck out for me.
i first saw it last Sunday when me, Jason Z, and Michelle went to see Paparazzi. it is a commercial for Bell, using the theme of everyone being connected. Starts with a woman holding a picture phone and zooms out so that she is the picture that someone else is holding, which then zooms out to be the screen of a computer someone is holding and so on and so forth until it circles back to the orignal woman. it jumped out at me, but i think the element i most loved was the music - it was a beautiful piano melody and i am determined to find now!
check it out if you see it
i didn't end up seeing it before the movie we went to tonight, but i did see it on tv today
i hate this
i woke up this morning and i'm freaking sick
all at once
argh
i can't be sick i have too much to do!
clever
there, i wrote something clever
haha
sunburns and cavities
Yesterday, Gillian and her friend Jenn and I headed down to the mix 99.9 radio station's free end of summer "Beachfest". well let's just say that it was quite an adventure to even get down there. we got there in time for Stabilo so we were happy. The air show was going on at the same time so that was kinda cool.
lineup:
Kyle Ryabko (sp??? - we missed him because of the transportation nightmare)
Stabilo
Shaye
Top 3 Canadian Idols (who were actually really good)
Hawksley Workman
Jacksoul (we left here)
FeFe Dobson
The Calling
Fast forward to 5 hrs later still standing in the blaring sun, all having eaten only candy and water.
Gill and I got so badly burnt.
me - it looks like i'm wearing a shirt when i take mine off.
and it was one of those one shoulder ones so my WHOLE shoulder and back are might crispy.
ow
but other than that it was fun :)
so it's a good thing i didn't drive it
on Saturday night, on the way to find a washroom with Tara from Kass's farm party, my muffler decided to crap out on me again. it does this every once and a while.
so on the way home i drove over a plastic bag and at the stoplight i looked under the car to see if the bag had gotten caught. -> no bag, but something metal hanging down.
so my dad took the car in today and $700 later we had the whole underpart of the car replaced. they had to replace the catalytic converter, the oxygen sensor (which is what was hanging), the tailpipe and put in a new muffler.
keep on runnin little joeycar, i need you to get to school!
call it redthumb
if i never see another 2/16 or 2/21 sticker in my life, it will be too soon
8hrs of repricing makes lizard, brad, theresa and chris bitter.
*phone rings @ work*
pick up: "Sunrise house of pain, Liz speaking"
