Listening to: "Sleater-Kinney" - "The Woods" (album)
Wow, it's kind of late. But I figured I'd update anyways. I'm having one of those "veg in front of the computer and stay up way too late" sort of nights. And by "way too late", I mean "waaaaay" too late. I have to be up at 6:30 to go to Nanaimo again for another training session. I have a plan though.
It involves caffeine. Lots of it.
I've had a lot of fun this evening! Went to that show, which I quite enjoyed. I've liked Caribou and The Russian Futurists for a little while now, but the third band (The Junior Boys) was most entertaining as well.
I got home tonight just in time to catch the last hour or so of the SG radio. And since then, I've just been reading posts in the groups and listening to music. So unproductive.
Ah, but I'm in a horribly positive mood tonight. I feel like I'm learning a lot of really cool (cool if you're into finance) stuff through all these training sessions I've been attending. I feel like I'm developing some skills that might actually be really rewarding for me in the next couple of years. We'll see how everything pans out...
It's a lot more than just training or going to shows though. I don't know how to put it to words... things are slowly starting to come together a little bit for me. I think part of it was that until recently I still felt more like a visitor than a resident of Victoria. I've only lived here since last Canada day, and every day I'm still discovering more about this fine city. However, I'm finally getting to that point of familiarity and comfort... and it feels really nice to finally call Victoria "home" (seems like it took me awhile to get here).

So how is the new Sleater-Kinney album? I've only read some reviews, but I haven't heard any of it yet. Right now, my guilty pleasure album is Gwen Stefani's, and I got this album called the Milk-Eyed Mender by Joanna Newsom that I like on a more serious level. It's really interesting musically, and she has the strangest voice.
I've always wanted to visit Victoria. I was going to spend some time there in the fall, but my plans fell through. Some day, though.
Is there really such a thing as being horribly positive?
