Andrew Bird - Imitosis

Add to My Profile | More Videos

I'm in Post-Matthew Good shock.

3 shows... I heard every single song I was hoping for this tour... it was a musical orgasm from start to finish..

Yikes

Sometimes people really let you down. It sucks.

On a totally unrelated note, a lady I've worked with for the past 5 years was just diagnosed with bladder cancer. It's really sad.

On the positive side, I'm totally in love with my MacBook Pro. I got it a few weeks ago and I keep meaning to take a video of it, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Possibly tomorrow if I don't forget.

The keyboard illuminates, it's simply magical. Hurrah for Apple!

Poor Professor Pynchon

I have decided to rewatch Lost. THe all time best TV series EVER!

It was my brother's idea - he watched an episode from season 1 in Mexico, and came home eager to watch with me.

Unfortunately his enthusiasm is lacking compared to mine - I've surpased him by 2 episodes, secretly obviously, because we're supposed to be watching it together.

But honestly, I can't wait that long. I want to watch NOW.

OMG I love Andrew Bird. And I love new shoes. And I love that I get to sleep in my bed tonight - after sleeping on a matress on the floor of my mom's room for the past week while relatives have been here and even worse is that we had relatives the week before and while I got to sleep in my room, some of them snored so I got no sleep at all.

Well I got new shoes

They are brown and cute

Very comfortable

The front have flowers embroidered over plaid.


They are awesome fun!





The back of the shoe has an owl on it. Awesome!

Come to the Front of the Class - We'll Measure Your Brain

Okay update with video has been rescheduled for tomorrow - today has been an insane EMO day. I think I'm okay now - surviving at least.

Heart kind of broken - but, I'm alive so, can you ask for more than that?

I'm expanding my Chicago ideas - I'm thinking Vancouver or Winnipeg - parents oddly calm now that I"m considering a move in Canada.

I think I will buy shoes in the morning. I haven't had new shoes in a long long time - and my heart needs a new pair of shoes right now.

Dear Reader

I am watching "The Last Mimsy" or the Last Mimzy, I don't remember how it is spelled

anyway, If you want to talk about the problems with the movie, please feel free to email me, or IM me, or whatever

also, ummmm awesome movie!

Apparently this post is a Blogger problem

Serviced down time? I don't know

But here I am

A lot to post about the past week

It will have to wait until tomorrow

But fear not - tomorrows post comes with video

so

there's always that

video where content is lacking - except, I think content will be good

also, I have been drinking a little, which will be explained tomorrow, and you all will think "I would have been drinking too"

I'm doing my least favorite of all things today.... cleaning.

And while it is incredibly long overdue, I still do not want to do it and would prefer to wallow in my messy messy room.

Boourns

This is my favorite Post Secret secret of all time... because I would do the exact same thing.

I sincerely want to meet the people who are in charge of writing things like this. My favorite part is at the end of the trailer, I was laughing so hard I was crying, then thinking about it later I laughed even harder and there were more tears.

It's genius.

The World Is Spinning

Why is it so hot out?

Don't I live in Canada? How is my igloo supposed to survive this weather? Where am I supposed to put my snow dogs? They're warm.

I absolutely hate the heat... I'm melting up a storm... I'm just glad I'm not at work, melting in those hot booths, that's the only thing that could be worse than having just hot weather. Well, a tornado would be worse too. But aside from a tornado, being in a booth.

In other news - I am not going to Chicago, we're doing a phone interview instead, good thing b/c I have no money. Guess I should be melting in a booth instead of complaining about having no money, but oh well.

Wednesday July 18th; 1:00PM

I've got a job interview in Chicago.... Biology Teacher...

I am beyond excited about this..

My family... not so much

Lots of arguments today... but I'm still excited

Mainly they're pissed off because I can't give them a reason as to why I want to move to Chicago... something about it just feels right and they can't except that as a reason I guess.

Brother: "You should move to Saskatoon"
Me: "Why Saskatoon?"
Brother: "Why Chicago?"
Me: Glares
Brother: "Chicago is the Saskatoon of the States"
Me: "You're insane"

QUESTION:

why is it that I am ok with the texture of pudding, but am not ok with the texture of bananas? Are they not the same texture? Bananas are possibly a little harder, but really, mostly the same to pudding.

This is blowing my mind right now.

Hospital Music

Have you listened yet?

It's freaking insane!

Early favorite: Odette

I'm pretty much salivating just thinking about July 31st

So I've got a job interview on Thursday. With one of the best high schools in the area. It's for a half-time teaching job, so that's exciting. Courses currently unknown - to be determined by the candidate hired.

I didn't even really apply for this job, and I haven't applied to the district either.

This is crazy.

Smurfs Built this Country ... back in 1880

If I go to Chicago I get to go on a bus tour. That's right, the Chicago school board sends you on a bus tour, and takes you around to different schools.

Edmonton - no bus tour.

Boourns Edmonton.

Now I put this off for a little while - but I'm finally going to talk about it.
Matt Good's Born Losers. All I can say is. YUMMY. They day it started streaming on his website, I listened to it for almost 3 hours straight. This seems excessive, even to me, but, I couldn't stop. I was dancing, I was singing, I was in a state of pure euphoria.

Needless to say, I'm pretty much living for July 31st at this point.

Conan O'Brein's hair is aerodynamically amazing.

Take the World and Make it Yours Again

Finally.... after 2 weeks of steady calling, I was able to talk to someone at the Illinois State Board of Education about becoming certified in Illinois.

I almost started crying when someone answered the phone and it wasn't the message telling me that the voice-mailbox was full. I think I sounded stunned because the lady kind of laughed at me a bit. But she was super helpful and is mailing me all kinds of info.

Very productive day...

I'm going to visit my crazy Chem 20's tomorrow... nerdy, but I'm excited. There's Barnyard - the kid who always made barnyard noises, and Ham kid - who asked the chemical formula of ham and also socks, I told him to check his label. Who wouldn't be excited about that?

I Cannot Guess What We'll Discover

The family is now taking bets on whether or not I will actually go to Chicago. I didn't see that coming somehow.

Interestingly, my only ally turned out to be Baba, who, thinks it's a fantastic idea for me to move away. She thinks it's possibly because I'm young and she's old - we share a common craziness. Her words, not mine.

Party time tonight - camping at some cabin, I made a mixed CD for the drive out. I'm possibly more excited about the CD than the party, but that's normal for me. I'm batting at par. Can you bat at par? Par is golf, batting is baseball, hmmmm. Conundrum.

In the last paragraph, "hmmmm" is underlined for incorrect spelling. Upon checking the recommendations, it recommends Ohmmeter. HAHAHAHA

That literally made my day
