when the month changes number, it is time to go

If you read this blog with any regularity you will know one thing about me.  I am a feist SUPER FAN.  

So on Tuesday I get home from work around 330 and I am exhausted.  I am supposed to meet bren at 5pm at church and queen.  I am super crampy, and didn't sleep the night before at all, but for some reason, i decide to brave the freezing temperature and walk to meet him.  On my way down queen i notice a chalk board outside of the Rivoli which reads:

Live Tonight

Feist with member of broken social scene, hayden, and friends

I obviously almost die right there, and go inside and snag some wrist bands for judy, bren, and myself.  So we go to the gig and it is a song circle with the promised friends, and they play from 9-11... it was really entertaining and amazing.... it was pretty great to see my favourite musical artist of all time play a back room of a bar ... considering there were only about 100 people in there I felt pretty lucky.

So today, I am exhausted x 10 because I am running off three nights of no sleep now.  Around 630 I google 'secret feist show' to see if any pictures pop up (because i can't find my camera cord, but i will find it, and share these pictures with you).  So there are no pictures to be found on the web, but this poem on feist's website does come up:

The Riddler Writes...
Wednesday, October 29, 2008

In Toronto, out came a sign
Of wood, nails, it wasn't fine

Last night, it said there's been a heist
A stage was took, stolen by Feist

A crowd arrived, a line-up made
It might be time for another raid

A Queen still true, the King a spouse
In Came Ron, a real full House

A lady watches, ten times an ant
If after eight: late, late, pant, pant

So obviously, I deduct that she is playing a secret show at The Cameron House around 8... and not to be late.  So bren and I show up around 730 expecting the same thing as the day before.  We walk in and there is a line forming so we get in.  We find out that there is a back room and they are letting 45 people in.  So they do a line count and bren and i are numbrs 44 and 45.  I couldn't make this shit up.  It was so beautiful.  I have video and pictures for you all.  It was probably the best concert I have ever seen in my life.  She is so beautiful in talented.  I was blown away all over again.

i can't keep me, and keep you too

I play "would you rather" a lot.

I find that whenever I find myself thinking of losers, or stressful situations i just 'would you rather' them

and in all cases i would rather have the opposite

this is how i cope

with a 4 year olds game

I just finished a monster assignment....

it really sucked... it is 3:06am.... i am too tired to sleep

you say i'm crazy, i got your crazy

I have decided to start blogging again on a regular basis.  I am fairly sure only 3 people read this, and it has become some sort of a vauge diary for me.  I like going back and seeing how i was doing this time last year... and i don't want to take that away from myself next year.  SO, I am coming back people.

Toronto is treating me well.  I really can't complain.  I have had a weird few months though, some major life changes.  Ending a long term employment - moving - having a best friend move a pond away.... it is all very different now.  I know this is nothing new, but i feel EXTREEEEEMLY stagnant lately.  I know that only I can make that better... I mean sitting around thinking 'next year will be better' really doesn't get anything done... I just think I have become complacent, which was once a huge fear, and now just sort of feels right.  I think back to when I used to go out every night of every weekend.... and sure I had a lot of fun - but I am not sure I miss it.  I lived in hamilton for two years (post university graduation), and in those two years I met a lot of new people who were really fun, and exciting, but they really were not real friends.  In the end, I am fairly certain I walked away from that situation with a broken heart, and the real friends I had walking into it.  So, why should I rejoin that world, or a similar world here in Toronto? So that I can party with a bunch of fake people, and fall in love with a self obsessed loser?  I think my complacent, homebody knitting lifestyle looks way way way more appealing..... but then I think I am wasting my pretty on TLC and Brennan
