i have a great idea, and it so needs to happen that i don't care if someone steals it. we need a website that will give info on songs used in commercials. i am so tired of hearing the telus commercial and wondering who the hell sings that song. how great would it be to see a commercial with a catchy song, be able to go online to one easy site ( Read more... )

it's friday, i'm in a sweet mood made all the sweeter by the fact that it goes above and beyond the usual 'thank god it's friday' giddiness. i've had a couple really great days and am feelin' groovy in a simon and garfunkel kind of way ( Read more... )

yesterday was a strange day, even for a monday. i didn't sleep well and my allergies were on an especially itchy rampage and the day totally got started on the wrong foot. i am so not a morning person, and for the first hour at work, i like to just be left alone to have my breakfast and get into the swing of things. sometimes, that doesn't ( Read more... )

started off with a bang, went out with the b/f and his friends for dinner at a bbq place downtown. the food is stupidly good, and as a bonus, you totally reek of smoky bbq for the rest of the night. after that, i met up with some friends from uni at a bar on queen street with a huge patio. it was fun--after about an hour of polite converstation ( Read more... )
