Arietta at Montana's.  I knew the bass player from a random drinking escapade a few years back. (Seriously, I was drunk and walking home along College and this group of people asked me to join them at Snek's for more drinks. Stayed there until well after last call and now I still bump into him randomly.)  So far, the best show I've seen during the ( Read more... )

Went to Dundas square for Spiral Beach. They're a Toronto band and  friends of friends, but I'd never seen them play before. Loved it. Vam back an hour later for Melissa Auf Der Maur, who is lovely as ever. Stuck around for Burning Brides, which was a great surprise because I ended up LOVING them.  Stayed there for Black Lips, obviously. Crazy ( Read more... )

Back pain sucks. Having to pack up and clean my apartment sucks. Having people yell at me over the phone for 40 minutes sucks. The flat tire my cab got this morning sucks. Getting the giggles at work from extra-strenght Motrin fucking rules.

I found an apartment I like. Under a grand. Buzzer to get in. In my ideal area. Laundry onsite. Cool checkerboard kitchen. Plenty of closet space and a living room with big huge windows and enough room for all my bookcases. Let's hope no one got it. I need to get out of this toxic place ( Read more... )

"Kinda I Want To"

i can't shake this feeling from my head.
there's a devil sleeping in my bed.
watching you from across the way.
i cannot make this feeling go away

[Chorus:]
i know it's not the right thing.
and I know it's not the good think.
but kinda i want to.

i'm not sure of what i should do.
when every thought i'm thinking of is you.
all of my excuses ( Read more... )
