HA HAAAA!
What's up people? I don't feel like getting too much into a recap, but as it stands, my mom has left me and my siblings for 10 days to go to Florida. I'm in charge, and I'm abusing it to no end. I'm working out a tentative partaaay date still, so I'll keep the peeps on the down-low when ever I can.

I spent a lot of the last week with Danielle, which has been awesome. We've watched the first season of the Office, which is one of the funniest shows I've EVER seen. And more importantly, one of the Characters on the show plays Arthur Dent in the up and coming Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Movie. I saw him on the show and said "He looks like an Arthur Dent..." and then I checked the IMDB and there was his name. Crazy.

Saturday night was at Shrews. We ended up getting jimmied and heading to a party. After all that, we came back to Shrew's place and peeps headed downtown. I had no $$ and no real urge to go, AND no urge to stay at Shrew's because there was about 20 million people staying, so I headed home. I took pictures....



























So yeah, that's that.

So, what did I do today?? Well, I went to school. At school, I was inspired by all those SMUSA election posters to make a little gag of my own. "What kind of gag?" you ask? Well, how about a Napoleon Dynamite for SMUSA President Poster Gag? You like that? I do. It took me like 3 hours to finish the black and white transfer of his picture. Ha. Basically, I found a High-Res promo shot from the movie on google, then took it through Macromedia Fireworks to put it to Grey scale and then crop the image of his head at the proper resolution.



After that, I moved the new picture (seen at the top of this post) to powerpoint and made a slide.



I then went to Danielle's where we printed it off and photocopied it to death. (We also spent the evening watching The Hour and The Office, and hanging around. It was ultra-fun.) This is what the finished product looks like...





Look out around SMU (for all those who attend) tomorrow for my poster, as it will not be around for more than a day or two.

Well, I guess I'm done. Wish me luck tomorrow. And don't worry, I'll have pictures of my work up here on my next update.
GFY,

Why does this always take longer to do than planned?

What's up peeeps? I guess I just quickly bring you all up to speed with everything that's been going on lately in the life of me...

I guess I last left people in question as what went down with that beer study... Well, it went pretty well, seeing as how I got my $40 for my little time spent paying attention. Woot. I instantly went to the CDplus on Barrington and picked up a bunch of shit. Said shit was; Modest Mouse - "Moon and Antarctica" on Vinyl, Jimmy Eat World - "Futures" Special Edition CD, The Office first season on DVD, and Dumb and Dumber on DVD. I was pretty stoked. The Jimmy Eat World CD only cost me $6. YES! After I got home, I went out with Danielle to her place to listen to my new vinyl and nap and hang out. It was pretty fun. We then headed into work to finish off our last shift at the store. We spent most of the time pulling shit apart and packing some boxes. It was kind of depressing. Oh well, it was a really good job, and I had a really good time there while it lasted. Besides work, I ended up building a cardboard robot that I gave to Danielle's little bro for a birthday present. It was exciting. I hung out with Danielle for the evening after work and headed home around 12 and went to bed.

On Sunday I didn't do shit because I wasn't feeling good. I just sat on my ass and watched The Fellowship of the Ring Extended edition. It was great. After that, I talked on the phone with Danielle for a while and then took a nap, which wasn't the best of ideas. I ended up not being able to sleep, which didn't really matter because I didn't have school on Monday, AGAIN! What the hell. There was a lot of shoveling to do, and it was done. It took a team of 4 of us 1.5 hours to dig out my driveway. Meh, it's all done now. I took some pics of the finished product/the dog.











As you can see, the snow was pretty high up. Afterwards, I went over to Danielle's for the evening, which was super fun as usual. I had to leave at 9 because Danielle needed to study, BUT then we found out that she didn't have school and she came over for the rest of the evening. YES! I didn't get much sleep that night... Stupid Blueberry Tea. NO!

Tuesday, I went to my one class and then worked on an assignment. After that, I came home and then went out with Danielle. There was a little accident which wasn't good, but everyone came out ok, so I won't talk about it too much. We spent the rest of the day at her place and had some spinach pizza for supper. We took a nap, and then spent most of the rest of the evening laying around. It was relaxing and fun.

Yesterday, I went to school and then met up with Danielle for lunch and then it was off for a haircut. It turned out ok. We then grabbed The Office DVD's and headed to Danielle's to check out a few episodes. They were pretty good. Then, since we really couldn't go anywhere, we listened to records, fixed a computer, and I played some guitar and piano. We watched The Hour, which that new show with George Strompolopolus from Much Music. It was pretty cool. Again, I went home around 11:30 and headed to bed because of early classes. It was a good day indeed.

Today, the bus was late, and I almost froze. Fucking winter and/or Chuck Norris. I got to class on time and then finished my Stats assignment. I came home and then took a nap with Danielle. We went to her place for supper, after which we watched Dagrassi on VHS and played some Nintendo. I really suck at tetris. We caught the end of The Hour and then kinda channel surfed till we got bored and made some pizza. Then we sat in the living room and just talked for quite a while. It was really really great.

Now I'm sitting in my basement, kind of cold because my furnace is broken, and kind of warm because of a borrowed space heater.

Tomorrow brings sleep and jamming avec Dave K. Good time will be had!
That is all,
GFY,
Tony I

Quote of the day : "Huh." somewhere in the hitchhikers guide book. I laughed really loud on the bus when I stumbled across it.

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!



What's the fuckin DEAL?? It's been a kick ass last few days. My last real update was sometime early last week. It was actually on Monday. That was a few days ago I'd say. I'll start my story from Tuesday then! HUH!

On Tuesday, I had to get up at 6 AM as usual!! YES! I love that. Well, not really. I went to my ONE class from 8:30 to 9:45 and then headed back home to bed for an hour. I would have grabbed 2 hours of sleep, but THE FUCKING BUS WAS 40 MIN LATE! AAAARGH. I was SO pissed. And it's not like the roads were bad at all. They were FINE all cleared and everything. And it was SO FUCKING COLD out. I almost died. The wind completely froze me. It wasn't fun. I eventually got home and crawled into bed. I slept longer than I should have and ended up being late for work, but I blamed my tardiness on the bus. HA. I was only 10 minutes late anyway, so it really didn't matter. I worked till close, and Danielle came to bring me supper during my shift. It was great. We hung out that night for a while after work, which was nice.

On Wednesday, I got a ride into school from none other than Allison! YES! She saved me a whole hour of sleep. I had a listen to the Kelly Clarkson CD (not my choice) and found that it is really crappy. The single that is out now is pretty catchy, but the rest is pretty crappy/sounds like Evanessence. Those two are really synonymous. Oh are they ever. Anyway, I went to my classes and whatnot, then I headed right into work. It was an alright shift, kinda boring, but what ev's. It happens. Danielle came to visit before heading into CPA for my bro's play. She again brought supper. She's awesome. We hung out again afterward, and it was awesome as usual. Woop.

Thursday, I had class! At 8:30! YES! I almost got stuck in Halifax, but the busses got me home a little late (no excuse needed for that) but safe. I then popped that quick update off, and then headed for Danielle's for the rest of the day/night. It was fun. We napped, had supper, played Mario Party 6 (It has a mic game!), and then played some "Scene It", which is the cool DVD board game that has a lot to do with movies. I won by more than half the board after about 45-60 min, followed by Christophe around an hour and a half into the game, and in a close third was Danielle's mom coming in at 3 hours. I schooled everyone (lucky rolls/SOME easy questions). I just thought I'd bring that up. Ha. After the game, Danielle and I had some eggs and then just hung out for the rest of the night, or at least until we went to bed. It was fun.

Today, we went out for breakfast and then headed into Halifax for a bit, we eventually hit up CDPlus on Barrington, where I bought The Smiths - [ST] album for something like $6.78 new. Yes! Around 2, Danielle had to head back to school, so I went along to visit with Beeler. I talked to him for a bit, and then after some time in the building, I got sketched out and just read for a while Danielle finished up her Film and Video thing. We went for coffee afterwards, which was fun. I accidentally discovered my new weakness, which is Vanilla Bean Lattes. Mmm. Then it was back to Danielle's for a drum session/nap and then off to supper, which was the highlight of the evening.

We went out to celebrate Danielle's brother's (Tophe) birthday, and it was pretty fun. When we got to Montana's, the place was PACKED and we had to wait for about 20 minutes for a table. We eventually got seated, but had a little trouble deciding what we wanted. I ended up getting Ribs and Chicken. It was damn good. After supper, they brought out a big hat and made Tophe wear it while they sang to him. It was quite hilarious. I took a bunch of pictures, so here they are...













I drew this...


Tophe did this...


Danielle's artwork...
































Danielle's dad LOVES flippin' the bird. It was pretty funny. We then headed to Chapters for some random looking around, and then it was back to Danielle's to hang out for the rest of the night. We watched this thing on MMM about dead rock/pop/hip-hop stars. It was pretty cool. This was complemented with some Prince William Biography/MM Countdown. After all that, I headed home, and now I'm just finishing up blogging. And doing laundry. It was a super kick-ass set of days. What fun.

Tomorrow brings that beer study at the Delta Barrington and then work. And maybe a latte. Maybe. That's it.
GFY,
