TOP 25 LIST
heh...amazing how the 25 songs most played on my iTunes are by the same 5 artists: Josh Rouse, Aqualung, Clare Bowditch, and Diana Krall. (Ruby's Grace, Lyrics Born, The Beatles, & Spymob all contribute one song each to the list though). and all the songs have the same sort of vibe. hmmmmm. goode vibrations indeed. SPRING.....!!

JAzziNg Up The Night
didnt want to at first, felt compelled to, made a decision and stuck to it (with a lil help, of course!). the work day was crazy because of the sales (seriously..WHAT sale..things aren't remarkably cheap..something along the lines of buying a full-priced pair entitles one to getting a second at half price...ok, great if u were eyeing two pairs from before..but it's not like it's FREE! c'mon ppl!) it felt like all the shoppers in the city had congregated at the one store. well, i guess it boded well for the cafe, business-wise. heh. imagine a store-ful of shoppers running on apollo-fuelled energy. oh, how gruelling an activity, exhausting even, it is to excercise one's purchasing power! one day, i may buy (heh) into it...but for the moment, i can only really window-shop. it's the one form of excercise that requires the least bit of money out of my (empty) pockets. ok, am so digressing. STOP. where was i...oh yesh. on my home from work, i decided to stop by my keeper's of sanity (oh what patient neighbours). the short of it, i found company to my workmate's 21st party@Shmik. we hung out there for a beer and super hyper conversation with another workmate & friend, then left in search of a place to while away more of the night. it was all very impromptu (as most goode nights are!). ended up not going to Croft Institute (there was a cover charge) or Misty's (not quite the vibe we were after), but found a nice booth at St Jerome's instead. :O) after a couple of wines, we moved on to the European (the lights came on and the kick-ass 70's & 80's music came to an end @ SJ...as all goode things do) and crappily hopped around (albeit slightly intoxicated, on my part) to the sounds of the cover band. [ohhhhhh staaaaappppppeeeeyyy... where have our pugg-ing days gone...]. as the end was nigh, i made a conscious (semi) decision to not leave remnants of my tummy's contents at the bar. so i opted for a llbitters to soothe the high and then we walked home (to the tune of hoppety-hoppety-skip-skip-WHOa! r u ok?!). :O) but really, the night was nice, not because of the alcoholic contents (ew ew ew ...so not doing wine again...ew.ew.ew), but due to the remarkably insightful and entertaining banter throughout. THANK YOU MY LOVELY FRIENDS!! i got through the door, again reinstated my decision to not hurl (totally didnt feel like cleaning up my already disgusting toilet), and made a quick dash for the couch to lay down the product of a night out for a homely ol' joe. thus,my once-a-quarter social expedition concluded for the term.

yes indeedy
ohmygoodness. can it be? truly? i've run out of ammo...i'm left with nothing to write. the week's events have proven to be interesting enough for a daily journal, p'haps,...but a blog? no sirree. i think not. what else can i then babble about>??? erm..hmmm....what about...mooosic? i'm currently listening to The Beatles' "White" album. and Diana Krall. and Josh Rouse. contented sigh. :O) and tomorrow (at work), i get to anticipate the pleasure of listening to Nelly Furtado, The Black-Eyed Peas (before they became aesthetically-inclined), Clare Bowditch, and...Jamie Callum. but then again, they may have changed the playlist over the weekend..hmmmm. yes indeedy.
