On The National tonight they had a documentary on Suzanne- the woman that inspired the Leonard Cohen song of the same name. It was very interesting. I was caught off guard, actually. Anyway, for those of you that haven't heard it, it's beautiful. Worth listening to.

Suzanne is homeless. She lives in her truck/camper. She has stayed true to her '60s beliefs, and is still...

I'm cleaning my room. It's a horrible mess.
I don't really feel like saying much more than that.
I'm bummed. Meh. I'll get over it, right?

The ever victorious moose reigns supreme once again. I am very proud of my moose. Squeaked it out by half a point.

So I really don't know what to think. About anything. I've given up on thinking and have now given in to just simply acting, and reacting. It's probably for the best but I liked the control. Who ever accused me of knowing what...

Okay. I have to update about my trip. My weekend lasted till Tuesday.

After my big band rehearsal last thursday, I came home and packed. I went with the friend that I lived in Scotland with. Seems like all our trips are short last minute things, but they're always a blast.

So we left Thursday night to drive down to Vancouver. He drove to Kamloops...

Okay. Good update time. It the last 48 hours, I have arranged a couple of things...

I am going to see Coldplay in Vancouver on Friday.
Saturday, I am going down to Seattle to see Maynard Ferguson.

Aside from the driving, this will be the best weekend I've had in a long long long time. I am literally bouncing.


Anyway, it's bedtime, and I am...

So if there's anyone local that is interested, my orchestra has a gig at the Art Gallery downtown on Sunday.

Yeah. So, I got dumped.

Don't vote Conservative. Stephen Harper is an ass. Well, you can actually do what you want. You're all adults.

But I won't be.

I am an emotional person. Part of it I blame on being a Cancer. I shouldn't, but I see so much resemblance in astrology books to just dismiss it as coincidental or a lucky guess. Sometimes I get upset because I open myself up to being hurt, and am. I don't have it in me to believe that this is the wrong thing to do...

I had a date last night. It went great. I will hopefully be seeing her again. She is amazing- and I am in awe.

I'm a little slow in the aquisition of new music usually. Same goes here. But seriously, how good is X & Y? I'm loving this disc.

Oilers won tonight. I'm a huge hockey fan. Really very much actually. The team Canada roster was announced too. I'm too tired to comment on it though. Except that Smytty and Chris Feakin Pronger made the team.

A very friend of mine from university that I haven't spoken to in 6 years emailed me last Saturday. His hotmail acct revesed the messages he had stored so he looked and saw an email I sent him 6 years ago and replied to it.

He replied to a 6 year old email. I still can't get over it.

Anyway, he came over tonight and...
