it's a blitz.
i went to 4 different music shops today in search of the yeah yeah yeahs new cd, and it was sold out at ALL of them!
what the heck? i normally am never hip enough/motivated enough to buy music anywhere close to the release date, but i really really love the yeah yeah yeahs so i went out to do my duty as a FAN. is this normal? i've been told over and over that "nobody buys cds anymore".
so... i downloaded it on pirate bay. sowwy!
i bought some other junk instead; i got sold on this War Child compilation because it has the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are covering the Ramones and Peaches is covering Iggy Pop.
oh i'm very excited to see this:

nice try.
my computer died. it's in limbo, i'm trying to decide if i can afford to fix it or what. i'm at the library, in the worst situated computer with the sun just blaring right into my eyeballs. that's bloggin dedication.
i've been pretty strange lately. kind of distributing my motivation around on too many projects so it just seems like i'm not doing anything.
quebec was pretty great. i don't have any photos because they are allll on the coma-puter.
ahh the sun keeps moving more and more into my eyes, this is terrible. the homeless guys just never stand around where you wish they would stand around.
ok eff it.

marathon of hizzope.
today was a pretty great day.
work was busy, boring and whatever. i left at 1 to go volunteer with my 50+ craft group/esl class of immigrant women. they are so adorable.
at 4:30 i left and decided to check out a couple grocery stores in china town, which is right on my way home. it was fantastic. i ran into this guy who works at safeway (i forget why i know him actually. its the safeway beside my other job... between the two jobs i'm starting to have a lot of random people recognizing me around downtown). we talked about not living up to our potential (he studied hydro engineering in algeria, and now works in a produce department). that was kind of nice.
i didn't buy anything because i was intimidated by the lack of english labels on products. but i will go back; there are TWO grocery stores right beside each other there and a meat shop across the street.
the grocery store thing had me feeling really good for some reason; a brief moment where i feel like i might miss calgary if/when i leave.
after i finish this blog and put on some pants i'm going for supper with erin at the heartland cafe. i'm excited she invited me to go there, i'm kind of obsessed with it lately. they have the most amazing cider there.
last night jonathan and i ended up at Walmart, checking the Toy Department to see what we could get for his 2 year old cousin. nothing at all. toys mostly suck, and walmart... also sucks. BUT jonathan let me buy/bought me Terry, the movie about Terry Fox starring Shawn Ashmore (it was 2/$10, and he bought dracula). when we got home i suggested we watch it and he agreed. i love terry fox. i cried like a million times, at all the same parts that made me cry last time.
ignore the lame song:

i don't usually pay attention to where my music comes from, where the bands are based, what their nationality is... but jonathan AND last.fm do. we have SO much amazing music in canada. we've got the broken social scene thing and the new pornographer crew, sam roberts and the quin twins, but i was surprised by these ones:
the unicorns/islands from montreal. WHAT? i though they were from outerspace or something.
the born ruffians - so good.
black mountain
the organ/ mother mother/ do make say think
sunset rubdown / the handsome furs
DJ Champion, most serene republic, chromeo and the dears - i don't really listen to these but they have a lot of hype.
the besnard lakes / the great lake swimmers - ok i knew about them, but they are good
the hidden cameras
MSTRKRFT / death from above 1979 - no idea.
crystal castles - i find this most surprising of all
bran van 3000 - hah.
our country is so hip. also, last.fm is frighteningly awesome in a big brother way. it reminds me of when i first went on facebook. last fm pulled all my music information from my itunes and in turn it gives me recommendations for new music. like facebook i feel like i'm a big joke (when i say I, i mean ALL of us, everyone on fbook) for giving the "MAN" what they want (more data for chart plot points and demographic info) but so far it seems quite useful.

i can't stop sneezing. all the time. sneezing.

i've been searching the interweb for a milk steamer. kind of silly, but i really want to make earl grey or chai lattes. i could even make green tea lattes, i already have the matcha. but i can't find an actual milk steamer for sale. it's really frusterating. i want one like the following:
it's really annoying though. all the pages that look like they have them for sale are actually just pages of more links that seem to auto generate whatever i search. i think it's this whole google AdSense program gone wrong. i don't get it. how does endless links that never go to any products actually make money for anyone?
i started taking a look for jobs. we are back from quebec on feb 18th so i would love to have a new and good job set up for when i come back.
songs i like right now (song THEN artist which is annoying, but i CTRL Ced and Ved):
Pot Kettle Black - Tilly & The Wall
You Don't Know Me (feat Regina Spektor) - Ben Folds
Our Drab Ways - Jonathan Richman
Angels Black Mountain
Gardenia - Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks
Confusion - The Zutons
Hospital Beds - Cold War Kids
kids (mgmt cover) - the kooks
5 Years Time - Noah And The Whale
Lake Michigan - Rogue Wave
Lindberg - Robert Charlebois
Up The Cuts - Against Me!
You Will You Won't - The Zutons
the year of the rat (MY YEAR) is almost over). that sucks.

goodbye pierre, hello pandas.
things are back to normal; the apartment is back to double occupancy only; ONE english person and ONE french person; the way it should be (not to mention ONE male and ONE female... a couple, that kind of thing).
i got the most hilarious DVD today from the "New and Notable" section. ULTIMATE PANDAS. "Enjoy 90 minutes of panda watching and cutest panda moments."
anyway...how are you?
