Procrastinating
So, I have my first class of the term in 3.5 hours.
I came to campus early to pick up the books that I'll need
($270, btw - for THREE BOOKS, and two of them I got used).
I already have 3 chapters assigned to read before my 6:30 class,
and 4 questions to do.... for taxation :(
I'm trying to stay positive though - after this term,
I'll only have 6 or so more classes before I'm finished my undergrad.
It kinda makes me miserable, because it seems like forever from now,
BUT, 6 isn't as much as 10..and I'm starting to feel like I may actually move past the undergrad someday...
Which is new, because for the last 2-3 years, I've kinda been feeling like it would never end since I HATE it so much.
Anyway, styrofoam_guy reminded me that I haven't posted an update on my condition...
clearly I'm still alive, so that's good news!
The puss is all gone, which is also awesome.
I still have pretty bad cold symptoms, but they're mostly sinus an nose congestion,
so I'm thinking that could also be attributed to allergies.
Whatever it is - its damn annoying and makes it really hard for me to breath, eat, and sleep.
It makes it very difficult to makeout too (woe is me!).
Oh! I also started work working at the office of my part-time job yesterday.
It definitely is more of a pain in the ass than working at home,
but it does give me more hours, and it gets me out of the house.
I think it's going to help my social skills a little,
I kinda feel like I've become a bit of a hermit or something...
living inside all day, working with nothing to keep me company but the sad glow of the computer screen...
I have no classes Mon, Wed, Fri, so I'll probably take those days to work at the office,
which is nice because I'll have a larger paycheck these days.
Alright - last, but definitely not least,
here is an update of what's been going on with my REAL work.
We finished another video - for the wonderfully beautiful and talented MJ Cyr,
she is submitting it to MuchMusic this week, I think - so good luck to her!
We also have another video that we shot a few months ago for the INCREDIBLE band USS
(currently #2 on EDGE's Thursday 30!). It looks like they are almost ready to release it,
so that should be seen on MuchMusic sometime in the near future!
I'm heading out to London tomorrow to see USS at Salt Lounge with Walk off the Earth, that's looking to be an awesome show!
Last week we also shot two spots for an non-profit organization called Million Dollar Youth
featuring acoustic artist Justin Nozuka & UN goodwill youth ambassador Mathew Cimone.
They have a gala coming up at the end of the month with some really awesome bands playing.
I definitely suggest that you all come to the gala with me!! Stay tuned for the promotional videos in the next few days - they are in post-production as I type.
One of the guys that is playing at the gala is Peter Katz,
I saw him live this weekend and decided that he is AMAZING.
Listening just to his music online, I didn't hear anything really special,
but seeing him live made such a HUGE difference!
His shows are so multi-dimensional - he has great stage presence,
and he makes his shows really entertaining, and his music is great!
The music is kinda folk-ish/alt. rock, so some of you here might appreciate it.
Ok. one more thing - I swear!
Two of the directors that I represent, Alon Isocianu and Derek Smith will be joining me, along with Gautam Pinto and Tim Sandik of CraveFest (the international music video festival) as panelist in "An Indie Blueprint to Music Video Production". The panel is a part of the Toronto Independent Music Awards' "Off the Radar" seminar which will be held on July 4th this year at Jeff Healey's Roadhouse. I'm super excited to be a part of this! If any of you know any indie artists, let them know about this event - it should be really informative.
That's it, that's my update!
It's now 3:13, which means that I've procrastinated for 45 minutes...
I should get back to work now...still got 3 chapters to read, and 4 questions to do :(
