I'm kinda bored. So I'm just writing a short update to keep me from shooting myself. I've been reading a whole lot of the Hitchiker Books that I got for Christmas, and they kick ass. I already knew this because I've read them before, but reading them now is just as fun. They are quite witty in many ways, and I have found myself laughing out loud from time to time. I'm about halfway through the second book in the five book trilogy (har har), which is titled "The Restaurant at the End of The Universe". I would say that if you've not read these books yet, you should take some time to at least glance at them. In other awesome news, they are making a movie for the books. I bet the movie will be somewhat good, seeing as how Douglas Adams wrote the screenplay. That's cleeeean.

In other news, Life Aquatic was KICK-ASS! I thought it was really well done, and well, the sound track kicked some serious ass. I guess a Portuguese guy took a bunch of Bowie songs and translated them to Portuguese, then throughout the movie was seen sitting playing on his acoustic and singing in Portuguese. It was pretty cool/funny/interesting. Oh, and did I mention that since I rule Danielle and I got in for free? Well, that's what happened. We skipped the line of people looking for tickets, which was all the way out the door. I'm so fucking important, I can barely stand it. HA.

Danielle came over this afternoon, and we chilled, napped, and made a play-list. It was fun. I just finished drinking a Diet Coke and reading up on that Hitchhiker's movie. I think I'm going to ask Jeff at the theatre to hook me up with a poster. I'd probably shit myself, or loose control of some other bodily function. I think the drums will be calling soon. Or maybe I'll start cooking supper. Or something. I don't quite know. I'll figure it out. I'm all done now I guess.
GFY,

Hey people! Happy Freakin' New Year!!! I guess it's time to kiss last year goodbye! This last year has been absolutely great. I don't regret a single thing that happened at all. I mean, there were some awesome parties, shows, and events that we will all remember forever, or as long as we can hold off the ol' brain damage. I can say some unexpected things happened, but they were all good. Especially what happened between me and Danielle. We've been together for 6 months now, and it's been great. What's funny is that everyone and their dog knew what was going to end up happening before we did. Oh well, here we are now, and it's never been better. School so far has been ok, I mean, I DID fail a class, but there's not much I could do about it. Perhaps I'll go next time around. I probably should have gone the first time. Meh, I'll live. I had 3 jobs over the last year, and I'm currently working my favorite job, at CD Plus. I don't know why I'm summing this all up, as all of you that read this already know most of this. So, what is the outlook for next year? Well, I'm going to attempt to start cutting the sugar out of my diet. That isn't a resolution. It's just something I'm going to try to do. I also want to play drums in a band. I also want to keep my job at CD plus over the summer while working full time elsewhere. I'm a busy lad, and sometimes that's how it's got to be. Ham Dammer. Well, happy new year to you all! All the best and yadda-yadda-yadda.

So, now that that's over, I bring you the other part of my update. My friend Phil from Winnipeg came down to see his grandparents on Christmas. We ended up hanging out on Tuesday night, after I worked and hung out with Danielle. We went to brewsters and got jimmied. After that, we came back and listened to music, played video games, and watched a movie with Chuck and Mike D. It was loads of fun. I guess it's pretty cool that I've known Phil for 14 years and that we've not even been living in the same area for 11 years. I can chalk that up to the internet and snail mail. Here are some pics from that night.







On Wednesday, Danielle, Phil, Danielle's cousin Jen, and myself went to the mall. I got a cool new hoodie, and Anchorman on DVD. It's pretty funny. I worked in the evening and then watched the movie at Danielle's. Cool beans.

I worked on Thursday too, but I was supposed to work from 1 until close. BUT the power went out and Cory, Sarah, and I ended up leaving at 7. Everyone was supposed to stay 'till 8, but since we're oh-so-cool, we just gave it the F.I. I ended up staying home and reading, because I just missed out on going to see Plaskett. Danielle came to see me after the show, and we headed to her place for the night. It was lots of fun. I got to see a tape of the concert and hang out with Danielle.

Friday day was spent doing laundry, getting jimmy, and then finding a ride home. That night, we headed over to Shrew's for a New Years' pre-party BBShrew, and then to Ardilan's place for the cap off. It was a good time. I stayed at Danielle's place that night. Here are the piccccsssss.

















































It was a blast.

Today, Danielle and I just lazed around and watched movies. We went out for dinner with her family and then came back and watched coffee and cigarettes, which wasn't too bad of a film. We then just lay around and talked. It was fun.
Well, I'm done.
Happy New Year

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! And Merry Christmas to everyone. What a good few days it's been. Lots of fun and family... It was very Holidays, if you Seese what I'm saying.

So, where to start? I guess I'll start with Thursday... I went shopping with Danielle and her brother at both MicMac and Penhorn Mall. Tophe wrote a little essay about his Dartmouth experience, and I encourage you all to take it in. I bought Napoleon Dynamite, and a bunch of presents. It was loads of fun. Then Danielle and I went to supper. Then we headed to the mall, cause she had to work. We hung out in the parking lot for a while before we went in, and I ended up working that night anyway. After work, Danielle and I headed to my house to check out Napoleon Dynamite. Fun times. It was a good day indeed.

Christmas Eve was good. Danielle came over after a while, and we spent most of the afternoon running around and helping my mom, and hanging out in my room. We went to sobey's at one point to pick up Christmas essentials in the form of pop, and other junk. Danielle left around 4 or 5, and I ate supper with the Family. We watched Napoleon Dynamite again, and it was still awesome. Danielle came by around 9:30 for a while to hang out and open an early present. Around 10:20, my family booked to Dartmouth to go to Church. We got home around 12. There were pictures...





Then it was Christmas! It was exciting. We opened presents in the morning, and then I headed to Danielle's for more presents. And Turkey Dinner round 1. It was a good time. After that, we came back here for more presents and Turkey Dinner round 2. I had loads of fun. After that, Danielle and I lazed around in the basement and listened to music. What an awesome Christmas. I hope everyone had a great Christmas too. And now, I bring the highlights of my Christmas presents and events...

My sister bought me a gift card for EB.
My mom got my Dogma, another coat, some awesome ski-mitts, a duffel-bag and various bits of interesting stuff (no pictures). I also got from my mom The Hitchhiker Trilogy in Five Books. It looks like this...








It looks pretty fly.

I also got the Brian Jonestown Massacre CD, called "Tepid Peppermint Wonderland: A Retrospective". It's a collection of their best works from the last 10 years. It's a 2 CD set on Tee Pee Records. Very cool. I also got the Owen CD "No Good for No One Now". They look like this...







Danielle's brother bought me two Jimmy Eat World 45rpm Singles (Pain, Futures) from the new album. Here's what they look like...









The Sleeves go together too. It looks cool.





Danielle's sister bought me a cool "Rock" T-shirt.



My aunt bought my The Polyphonic Spree "Together We're Heavy" CD, with the bonus DVD. Kick ass. Looks like...



Finally, Danielle got me some kick-ass cool presents. She bought me some SpongeBob Boxers...



An AWESOME book on the Weezer story...



And this super kick-ass wicked awesome JadeTree T-shirt... the coolest present ever.



and now, for some random pictures...













It was a really good Christmas.

Boxing day was spent at Danielle's house. Her family was there, and it was a hoot. At one point, there was a really long and drawn out fart joke going on and everyone was in stiches. INCLUDING Danielle's grandmother. Har! It was lots and lots of fun. Afterwards, we went to see A Series of Unfortunate Events, which was ok at best. It was still fun though. It started snowing a bunch, so I had to go home right after. I'm hoping to see Danielle today at some point. I think I'm done.
