So apparently I turned off comment notification from LJ. Oops? Anyways, hi lovelies! I miss you all loads.

Thanks to adventurat, I now know what I'd do if I had unlimited vacation time and money - Byron Bay Blues Fest! And, since I'd be in the area, a small trip to Adelaide and other parts of Oz. But as I have a "real job" that pays me in insufficient funds ( Read more... )

So, it's been nearly a year. Oops??? Anyways, I wanted to share, mainly because I might explode from awesomeness if I don't. I'm heading to New York for 10 days in November, with two of my bestest friends. Our plan was to go to lots of shows and just have a generally awesome time. Then we decided, hey, November, let's go over American Thanksgiving ( Read more... )

It's nearly November and I can't decide about NaNoWriMo. On the one hand, it's fun and crazy and I'm not superduper busy. On the other hand, I haven't been writing, like at all, of late and it'll be very very hard (more so than usual) to get back into it. And I really don't know what to write ( Read more... )

Sean Maher is going to be on Make It Or Break It?!?! OMG! I knew there was a reason to have a twitter for stalking all my favourite peeps!

Make It Or Break It, btw, is a super awesome show all about gymnastics. If you liked Stick It or Bring It On, then it's possible you might like MIOBI. It's cheezy and crazy and beyond drama-tastic. I love it. ( Read more... )

So I'm off work on Labour Day for the first time, I think ever. Well, except that fall I was unemployed. But still, is very strange. So far today, I've watched last night's Mad Men, had breakfast and drank a lot of coffee. It's only 10am so I'm kind of okay with that.

Day 24. A song that you want to play at your funeral: Long May You Run by Neil Young

I adore this song, and always got the impression it's saying goodbye to someone. If I were choosing the music for my funeral, I'd want to say goodbye.

Day 25. A song that makes you laugh: Cecilia by Simon and Garfunkel

I also adore this song, and have for ( Read more... )

Day 23. A song that you want to play at your wedding: I'm Yours by Jason Mraz

It might be super cliched, but it's also a beautiful song and it makes me super happy when I hear it. Wouldn't be my first dance, I don't think, but it's a good solid wedding song ( Read more... )

Day 22. A song that you listen to when you’re sad: Songbird by Bernard Fanning

Bernard Fanning's whole album, Tea and Sympathy, is awesome. It never fails to put me in a better headspace. This song, though, is one that I can kind of just wallow in, in the best possible way. Musically, it's got so many things I love going on, especially the fiddle ( Read more... )

Day 21. A song that you listen to when you’re happy: Emerald Lake, AB by Said The Whale

This song pretty much is my happy summer song. Also, singing along to this song squished with a bazillion people at Robson Square during the Olympics was one of my favourite moments.

Said The Whale are from Vancouver and I am a big fan. If you're into this ( Read more... )
