Second Cup actually.
Today I asked a "guest" if they "wanted anything else this morning". He replied, the 2 hours it took me to get here. Sorry man, I can't brew that on my Barista 98 but I can offer you a low-fat bluberry muffin with omega 3.

If Bruce Springsteen was a Comdiean I wouldn't be here.
I have 784 Bruce Springsteen songs on my computer. Half of those are just duplicates of the actual songs, so I really only have 784/2 BS songs on my computer. That is still more Bruce then I have ever wanted to listen to . if I wanted Bruce, I would just sing about a penguin (don't know what that is referencing but I know it's something and someone will find it funny) or just tell my sister to grin real big (Bruce from Nemo impression). As for (sounds like) BS there is 35 mp3 files - no copies, only beats.
When eating mangos I get all up in those bitches. Seriously, there is mango every where and it is a mess. More of the juice really then physical mango but regardless of which physical mango state it is, it makes my computer sticky.
How to be more lazy - Bras on the outside.

Beefs
Man, I really need to get facebook mobile so that when I take sweet pix of my gurlz at the CLUB I can upload them right away so everyone can see just how hawt we rrrr.
Oh I am hilarious.
Aside from my beef with mobile updating of already over frequented social networking sites, I also have a beef with my epidermis. Yeah you, you heard me. Don't try and hide yourself away under my only pair of socks you dried cracked heels. And what about you, my poor right hand middle and ring fingers? There is no where for you to hide. I can barely type because of you. Not to mention write notes, hold books, flip pages or fail aggravatingly. Getting in the way of dishes and enjoyable smoking is one thing, but I am in kick school ass mode right now and you are harshin my mellow.
Just saying.

I just got this BONAH. Not.
I just burped and almost threw up in my mouth a little bit.
So, the B key on my keyboard is on the fritz. You have to type it twice if you want it to show up. This happens periodically with different letters on my keyboard. It rotates. My computer is drunk. As was I, Last night, which is why I feel awful right now as I attempt to finish my magnum of school work.
Lost: One grandmothers pearl earring. Somewhere between the dance floor and the bathroom at Rancho Relaxo. Let me know.
Found: My phone, thanks to the radiant Alexa Mckenzie and her boy chatting skills.
Needed: More Brains and more tylenol.
Stay tuned for pictures of last nights ballability. Up close and personal. BS for LIFE.

The Economic Crisis
So apparently the economy is crashing. Some big shot borrowed money and didn't pay it back and stocks are plummeting and the dollar is down. In this time of crisis I bet you are just losing your shit. What the hell do we do? Why didn't I get a job when there was Jobs to get? Will Dior Homme still be able to put out a full line next season? I know you, my avid readers, are all asking these questions. Well, luckily I am skilled in being in an economic crisis. Having spent all my money on sushi and Pho 88, I must now budget and was broke 'd broke at the end of last year. I have collected information from last years financial report (it looked like this - 8.00$ retained earnings) and will now pass on to you the finesse that is being broke.
1. Cabbage.
Not only is it crazy good looking and grows in layers over itself thus decreaseing the amount you have to wash because the inner layers are protected by the outer and thus don't need to be washed, but it is also one of the cheapest vegetables out there being a steady 49 cents a pound at your local Asian Supermarket. Cabbage, combined with cheap as onions, carrots and your room mates gluten free soy sauce make for a very filling meal. Ask Shauna Kewin if you don't believe me.
2. Don't buy new shoes.
So what if all 3 pairs of your old 10 dollar shoes have holes in the soles, that is what socks are for. If you don't have socks like THIS GUY and your parents haven't sent you closed toed stockings in the mail with your new blender (unlike THIS GUY) then you will just have to wear your 20 dollar pair of shoes from last winter even though they smell like vinegar, are covered in steamed milk from your shit job at Second Cup and are a 1/4 size to small.
3. Walk every where, no matter what.
So what if you were at a friend of a friends house drinking liters of wine and your feet are so cracked that you can barley put any pressure on them, you just have to walk. While transit is less expensive than a cab, personal car or jet pack it is still upwards of 2.25 in almost every city. Add up two transit rides and there goes your Hot and Sour soup budget for the weak. If I've learned one thing, it's never compromise your Hot and Sour soup budget.
Now, you bright young souls, take what I gave given you and run like the wind. Not too far though, because you will have to walk back to the Asian Supermarket when you get hungry and your feet will hurt if you walk for like, 2 hours every day (like THIS GUY).
Also, this weeks reader of the month award goes to Santana Saftenberg. Your plaque is in the mail.

Currently playing: Clouds That Look Like Things
Saw them last night at their CD release party. They are boys and they are good looking. And they play music. Nuff said.
Current favorite: Kittenwar.com. In particular this one.
Current grievance: Having to soak my nose in a tea cup with hot water and non-iodized sea salt twice a day cause of these bitches:

Cash Flow
Did you know:
Free toilet paper is way cheaper than bought toilet paper.
I would like to thank my program building and Pho 88 for not apprehending me as I was taking some free toilet paper.
Should I be apprehended one day and be forced to buy tp, it will all be ok because my boss pied me to run home and deliver 3 bags of hot chocolate syrup to his other store by my house. That's the best 9 dollars i've ever made

Girl Power.
"Menstruation is a literal symbol of our power as women to be able to create life, and as such should not be treated as garbage."
- Lunapads.com
So I am looking in to diva cups, which I have heard are the greatest things of all time. If you know where I can buy them, please me know. I have approx. 10 days. Apparently you can buy them at Grassroots on Bloor between Bathurust and Spandina, for all you Torontonians out there. Thanks Maggie.
Basically, I'm stoked to be environmentally friendly and save money and embrace all that jazz.

How much does a pound of feathers weigh?
This mornings battle goes as such: Accouting vs. Kmudry.com
You know the outcome.
So today is just like anyday but not really in the respect that it's a lot more like this day - blog post for Oct 3, 2006, because I am seeing the Lovely feathers tonight. It is very exciting. Seeing your favorite band for free in your favorite city at one of your favorite venues with your best friend Molly Mcfaul when you haven't seen the band in two years and they have an albums worth of new material to play is probably one of the most exciting things you could ever think of.
This is Happening.
Mad love also goes out to Molly Swain because I adore her and wish that she was here as well as her wee bro JBS and my wee sta's Jo Jo and Stefalyn because we all love this band heaps. Mad Love.

Not so pro.
To get in to the real mood of this post, you should probably listen to some Sounds Like BS because that is what I am currently doing. Well, was doing when I wrote this. It's fresh shit, up from the basement.
Right Right Right so here we go.
Basically I was going to write some concert review for a Toronto blog - BlogTO but I have bad grammar so that might not happen. For now, you can read my attempt at pro blogging below:
Imagine it’s an overcast, misty night in late September with only 34 days till Halloween – the perfect setting for an Evangelicals show. Ok, well maybe not exactly but that doesn’t mean that this band out of Norman, Oklahoma would ever be anything less then awesome. The evening at Sneakys Dee’s started out with two local bands, both who’s named failed to be mentioned coherently. While both were decent local acts, the highlight of the openers was the drumming from the first band. An all girls band, they make the kind of music I assume the witches from hamlet would have made should they had been young gorgeous hipsters in waist high skinnies with a 3 piece drum kit. Along with the usual band equipment (guitar, bass and keyboard/synth) these three girls whipped up some interesting and highly impressive rhythms while alternating talents between the various instruments. The lack of seating at the kit made the drumming even better to watch and more impressive.
As night grew older and the numbers of people in the bar fluctuated from 30 to 40 up to 50 and back down to 40, the Evangelicals started setting up. You know a set is going to be good when the first thing you see is a drum kit is dripping with fake blood. After setting up the rest of their gear, including fog machine, the band asked if they could get the red lights on the side of the stage turned off. Yeah, awesome now the purple ones at the front of the stage two. What was left was a ghostly looking stage, 4 young guys and high expectations. As an owner of their lastest CD, The Evening Descends put out by Dead Ocean Records, I knew this show was going to be worth my 7 dollars (10 at the door but I bought my ticket in advance at Rotate This.) even if the contains of the bar had dwindled down to 25 people. The boys in the band obviously felt good vibes as I did as they launched right in to their energetic graveyard-indie rock. It truly was like your favorite indie Bands (Broken Social Scene and The Shins of course) died and wrote a new album from the comfort of their coffins. The reverberating echoes, haunting ouhs and ahhs and bone chilling samplers and synths help the fog machine to give the Evangelicals their whole sound and look. After a good set of all old and new songs, the band finished to the cheers of Encore! Encore! Granted, it was just he 10 last people who all were large fans who were yelling this but nothing is better then and intimate show with a great band. After chats and hugs with the band, the time had come and my bed was calling. All in all, one of my favorite Sneaky Dees experiences. Besides the nachos.
You can probably buy Evening Descends at your preferred local music store, or for those less in need of tangible things, for sure in the iTunes along with there previous release, So Gone.
Right Right Right so here we go.

City Tunes
I'm lazy. This is a fact. My laziness is encouraged and duplicated by the people I live with and who sit on our proch. That is why it often takes a massive effort to get up and take advantage of the amazing city we live in. Ok, I'll admit, we're pretty good at going to 7-11 and the LCBO but only because we have secret shortcuts. That said, a grand effort was put in last night to walk the darkened streets of Toronto and see some friends bands and have some good times. As per usual, the benefits where greater then the cost.
Luckily, I live right by College and Spadina which puts almost everything i've ever wanted within walking distance. Technically, everything is within walking distance if you have the time, but lets be realistic here people. I walk to school and work everyday and my bum is a lot more equipped to be on the ground then my feet but that just comes back round to the aforementioned laziness. Anyways, we went to some shows, kicked out some jams and came home to make ravioli and talk about how great music is. I would like to thank the following to bands for making this double headed night possible:
Great Lenin's Ghost - Meet them last year while doing a student CD project at school. They graduated but that doesn't mean that they stopped making sweet electro pop beats that all the pretty ladies can loose their shit to. They played at Rancho Relaxo which is an awesome little bar that can be filled to the brim with all your amigos to support kick ass local music.
The Owle Bird - The wind down to the evening at the Tranzac, a lovely little place with many rooms and people and characters. The Owle Bird played there monthly last year and have a CD release coming soon which is great because their melancholy tunes find every dissonant chord, waverly percussive moment and poignant string line that you ever wanted.
Luckily, both shows were PWYC which means that I now have no more change/money of any sort because I lost my bank card again. That's my 2nd one in a week. Balls.
On a side note, if you've seen my bank card (BMO), drivers license or Mastercard let me know. Don't call me though, cause I can't find my cell phone either.

Grettings earthlings!
Before I got on the plane last week my dad asked if I was going to take a shower. I replied, UH! NO!. I flippin hate showers. By dad was then like, "Well, Katie, it looks like you just got in from off the streets, like you've been living out there." I countered my fathers attack on my image by asking him if it really did look like i'd been living outside. Really? for how long? like 4 months maybe? BECAUSE THAT IS THE TRUTH! Now i'm inside, but I still flippin hate showers.
Civilization brings many issues that you normally don't deal with when you live in tipis at summer camp. Here are just a few:
What to do with my dreadlocks. They are free and crazy and appear by themselves. I can't tell if they look good or if they actually look like dangles of poo. The shower issues also plays in to this.
Will I really not receive service should I refuse to wear shoes? I have found that unless you are at an establishment that is full of drunken fools and you are one of them and it is past midnight and there is glasses all over the floor, you usually can not wear shoes and still get served. not like, YOU GOT SERVED! and get dance battled, but as in buy a book or avacado or something. Your ability to GET SERVED! has nothing to do with your shoes, it has everything to do with you ballability, as in, how ballin you are.
How much sushi can you really eat? Sushi star on Spadina just across from my house has 9.99 all you can eat Sushi for lunch. Along with some intrepid Australian comrades, we discovered that if you eat all the sushi you can truly eat, you go in to a food coma and must move a mattress then sleep on it for 3 hours in order to digest all the delicious sushi you just stuffed in your face. Should I ever run fully out of money, it will be because I have just beat my personal best at sushi eating thanks to this great place.
Houses have locks, unlike tipis. That means that if you come home at 2 in the morning and your house is locked and everyone is asleep you have to walk to your friends house where they hopefully are still a wake so you can sleep on their couch even though you are paying 460$ a month to sleep on a futon you took from the garbage and put in your own house. Also, houses don't have fire pits, so that's a bit lame. They do have balconys, electric guitars and organs though, so I guess they're ok.

Profile # 2.
On Sanja Mladjenovic:
She would be a great Jew, will most likely drink wine instead of cutting her children's crusts off and doesn't eat fauna but is most found of flora. If you know what I mean.

That's Crunchy.
Due to circumstances of others immaturity and my unwillingness to be grown peoples mothers, my apartment is lacking in forks. I have taken to eating with a plastic fork I grabbed from the cafeteria one day. It is black and beautiful and has been a solid friend for the past month. Unfourtuantely, the left most prong broke off today in my stir fry. What is even more disturbing is that I ate the whole bowl and didn't find it.
Musical mumblings - "I'm from Barcelona" is the name of a good band. They are not actually from Barcelona, they are from Jönköping, Sweden. Just more proof that Sweden is the ultimate. Follow this link to see Sweden's homepage, one of the best country websites ever.

On Andrew Davis:
He wears dresses from peru, licks his plate like a kitten and his favorite website is cuteoverload.com
This is my first profile piece. Stay tuned for more in depth analysis of people I know but you may not.
Also, went to a party this weekend (I guess it was ok) and sustained the following injuries - sprained finger and foot, large cut in bottom foot (luckily there was no glass in it), 3 massive blisters on my hands and there is a scratch on the top of my head with sparse amounts of hair and dried blood around it.
In addition to that I have a dreadlock, my hair is falling out and there is still sharpie all over my hands and face. If any wants to tap this shit, just look for the impoverished girl making pokemon impressions. That's me. PARTY!

On desicison making
Issue. Well, multiple actually.
So like, I haven't blogged in a while and now that I only have 2 weeks left till I go to camp I have buttloads of ideas of how to enhance not only my blogging experience, but yours. I've been reading lots of cooking blogs lately and I'm thinking that I should have some specialties or features or something or just make a cooking blog of my own.
Example Cooking blog:
I am a gluten free vegan who can't digest peanut butter, fat of almost any kind or broccoli. Today's entry is going to focus on how tofu adds awesome texture to your everyday stir firy (everyday as in the stirfry you make everyday, the exact same way). Tofu is even greater if you squish it up and pretend like it's feta. If you pretend real hard, it's almost like you are greece.
Issue with that blog is that, well, the above pretty much summed up my entire cooking experience.
Other Potential directions for "So I said...":
Full on Balls Out Music Blog
Issue - the only music like is Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin and Tokyo Police Club.
Reviews of Restaurants (mainly Asian and special gluten-free vegan places)
Issue - I'm poor
A Blog About Whales and Their Awesomeness
Issue - I don't have a pet whale and am to scared of large animals to ever get one.
Toronto Concert Reviews
Issue - they would all go like this: IT WAS AWESOME AND MAGICALANDEVERYTHINGIEVERWANTEDANDICRIED. Except for when Flash Lightnin open for people or Caribou plays so fucking loud that my body was raped by sound. Then it would go like this: Lame.
Running Blog
Issue: I forgot my foam roller on the other side of the country which screws up my IT band and limits the amount of time I can run for. That and I'm just a fatty.
Hummus Blog
Issue: It's been done.
If you, the audience, has any suggestions or visions for the new direction of K Mudry's personal blog please feel free to comment. Until then, you will just have to listen to me thinking I'm hilarious and watch my concert videos.
In the meantime check out these blogs:
Your Vegan Mom
The Anchor Center
Toronto Celiac
I Guess I'm Floating
My favorite music blog was this one. Just cause it's no longer active doesn't mean you shouldn't spend hours reading all the previous posts. After you read all of mine.

Today's entry is going to focus on how tofu adds awesome texture to your everyday stir firy (everyday as in the stirfry you make everyday, the exact same way). Tofu is even greater if you squish it up and pretend like it's feta. If you pretend real hard, it's almost like you are greece.
Issue with that blog is that, well, the above pretty much summed up my entire cooking experience.
Other Potential directions for "So I said...":
Full on Balls Out Music Blog
Issue - the only music like is Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin and Tokyo Police Club.
Reviews of Restaurants (mainly Asian and special gluten-free vegan places)
Issue - I'm poor
A Blog About Whales and Their Awesomeness
Issue - I don't have a pet whale and am to scared of large animals to ever get one.
Toronto Concert Reviews
Issue - they would all go like this: IT WAS AWESOME AND MAGICALANDEVERYTHINGIEVERWANTEDANDICRIED. Except for when Flash Lightnin open for people or Caribou plays so fucking loud that my body was raped by sound. Then it would go like this: Lame.
Running Blog
Issue: I forgot my foam roller on the other side of the country which screws up my IT band and limits the amount of time I can run for. That and I'm just a fatty.
Hummus Blog
Issue: It's been done.
If you, the audience, has any suggestions or visions for the new direction of K Mudry's personal blog please feel free to comment. Until then, you will just have to listen to me thinking I'm hilarious and watch my concert videos.
In the meantime check out these blogs:
Your Vegan Mom
The Anchor Center
Toronto Celiac
I Guess I'm Floating
My favorite music blog was this one. Just cause it's no longer active doesn't mean you shouldn't spend hours reading all the previous posts. After you read all of mine.

Order of business:
1. I AM FAT
This is so unfortunate. You know that one day when your just chillin with yourself and your like holy crap! Where did all this extra self come!? Well, that day was today. My body is a disaster. As is my room. I am currently looking at two old apple cores, a plastic fork covered in syrup, and two empty hummus containers. This is a public service announcement - If you used to be an athlete and then decided to pursue something stupid like academics or music, go back to athletics otherwise you will end up looking like this:
2. CHARACTER HUMOR IS HILARIOUS
After having a delightful morning with my extra self I decided I needed a little pick me up so I went apps-quicktime-file-open-external hard drive-Nacho Libre-play-Full Screen. What a hoot that film is. While expressing my love for Jared Hess and his hilarious films at lunch, some friends of mine said Jared Hess was an awful writer because he just relies on character humor. So what? That's life yo. Clint Eastwood isn't going to come along and give you a kickass script, massive budget screen test you with Phillipe Seymour Hoffman and film your witty and well thought-out travel through any form of life, pre or post pubescent. All there is you and your own character. And I'm warning you, if you can't make that work for you, HBO is probably going to cancel your reality show.
3. I HAVE A NEW HOME
We are signing a lease today. Thrilling! The house is kind of mal-designed and you have to crawl up an extension ladder to get to my bed. Also, there is dirt everywhere. Hopefully I will stop finding new fat extensions on myself so that I can still climb up the ladder and not have it crumble beneath me.
4. SAVE THE WHALES
They are awesome. Nuff Said.

Spring - it's happening.
So my tights are getting dirty and i'm running out of laundry coinage/I don't do laundry which means that spring aka. "tight free season" is upon us.
This means:
Bar patios are opening. GLORY! Broken city, get ready for this shit.
Working out is essential for good looking tight free legs. Ginger Spice, you are me and I am you.
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin is back in action. Their new album is delightful. I have been waiting for it since last summer and it is making my life great right now. Check it out.
Woh! Awesome!

Sunday list...less
Upon waking up from the gentle caress of half a 40 of Moskovskaya, I felt the need to severly re-evaluate things in my life. The following list, split in two parts entitled GOOD and BAD was thought up as I lay in bed, rather LISTlessly.
BAD
24 hour grocery stores.
Money - especially not having any or losing it.
Corn chips - I am officially intolerant.
Hummus - still good but the amount I eat and the fiscal detriment it is doing to me is bad.
Always passing out before you get to the bar.
GOOD
Kenny vs. Spenny
Misogynist Fashion tips with Kenny Hotz.
Almond Roca - just because I can't eat it doesn't mean you should stop your self from enjoying it and stuffing your face with it.
Summer Camp.
Going to the bathroom when you really need to - say it with me, AHHHHH.
I would have added Tokyo Police Club to the good list, but that would be a redundancy as it should be just generally assumed that they are good because I am their biggest fan.

Helping you to cut a rug.
Here is a sweet tune to help you bust up the dance floor, shake your groove thing or simply cut a rug. If you don't have a rug feel free to cut your collars, paper, the corporate budget or even your hair.
Theatre of Disco - On the Train
Secondly, Good Shoes have good music videos:
Lastly, The Wombats have a new album out. It should be great.

Uploaded: a butt load.
Last week was Canadian Music week. It was great. I was out every night. Now I am tired and bruised (well, that is from falling down stairs, not CMW) and have an essay to write.
How to write a sociology essay:
1. Open up MS Word and Firefox
2. Google APA referencing style
3. Screw that shit and instead photo edit and re-format videos so as to upload them to the interweb while non stop thinking about how much you love Tokyo Police Club.
According to the above, I should 100% on my essay.
To celebrate successfully completing your essay, check out these sweet bands:
Plants and Animals
The Sun Parlour Players
Photos and Videos from CMW. More videos to come.
Also, here is a review a friend did of my night at the horseshoe. I got a photo cred so, awesome.

Eugene Hutz is the Sex.
Saw Gogol Bordello last night. It was epic, amazing, sexy, sweaty and everything I have ever wanted. I want to have sex with Eugene Hutz more than anyone else on the planet.Tonight I saw The Hives. As Howlin' Pelle said, "This is not a dream! You are actually seeing the Hives, live!" He is the most adorable, scissor kicking, suit wearing man I have ever seen.
I will tell my children and my grandchildren about how I saw two of the greatest bands and sexiest men EVER, live in Toronto, back to back.
Gogol Photos and Videos
p.s This Band is dedicated to Ste(a)fi because without him, I wouldn't know the Glory that is Gogol Bordello and to Ev-Star because often the only Cd we listened to in his car was Veni Vidi Vicious. Also, because of this dedication, they can no longer say my blog is lame. If they do, I will break their bones. I took karate.

Less politics, More garbanzo.
I just finished off a tub of Jerusalem hummus. It blew my mind. For reals, there is derivatives, ink compositions, and tenor clefs all over the walls. It's a mess. After eating the glory that is Jerusalem hummus, I realized why every one wants Jerusalem as their promised land. Someone should alert the U.N that the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict isn't buffer zones and peace keepers, it chickpeas. Get enough chick peas to produce Jerusalem hummus for every person in the middle east and nothing but love, understanding and religious harmony will come of it.

Dear Humanity:
You are great and wonderful. After some bitchass dick face stole my computer, a man named Faisal contacted me saying he thought he was sold my stolen computer. How did he find me, you ask? By finding my name on the power pack and hidden within the system, googling that shit and coming upon your favorite place on the internet, my BLOG. In the past month and 7 days I have:
Gotten my computer stolen.
Recieved 27 thou in computer insurance.
Learned to read. With a vengeance.
Become productive.
Had a restored faith in Humanity.
Ended up with a computer AND 1,900$ (2,700 minus the 800 I am reimbursing Faisal, Toronto's most outstanding craig's lister)
But what does this mean for you, my avid reader? Glory! That is what! Not only will I be able to blog everyday all day now, but kmudry.com is going through an major overhaul and it is now so much more than just a vanity project. It is a collaboration. A good looking one. Check it out. Do it.
Stay tuned for more exciting adventures of the intrepid K Mudge. Things to come include name dropping (Vilay, Vilay, Vilayathi Ali!), music recommendations (Christina Aguilera) and more about how much I love vegetables! (tomatoes and beans, tomatoes and beans).
p.s This post is dedicated to Sloozebag Salamandick. Get your dick sucked.

All I ever want is a bean salad.
I love beans, in all their shapes and forms. Example: one time I had a meal of chickpea salad (also know as the garbanzo BEAN), Hummus (from chickpeas) and falafal balls (also from chickpea). For my Birthday fest I bought two different beans salads and hummus. Everything is better with hummus. Refried beans are also amazing. In tacos, on bread, mainly with salsa. Chili is another great bean incorporated meal. I can't even talk about chili it is so great.
Did you know: Kidney Beans are toxic unless throughly washed and cooked for 10 mins.
Beans are also great because I am not allergic to them, unlike most delicious things in life.

On this special day.....

When I walk home from the gym in my sweat pants and throw my hood up real aggressive like, I feel like Muhammad Ali.
I'm getting back in the Pokemon. and Sailor Moon. If you are looking to have a Sailor Moon viewing party, let me know because I am buying some dvds today as a birthday present to my self. I will wear my Spice Girls shirt while we watch and we can eat fruit by the foots and pretends like the 90's never ended.

The Best of the Best. or BOB, if you will.
Last year I didn't really excel at being a part time uni student or national level biathlete. I did how ever produce some of the greatest blog posts of my blogging career. Here they are:
My current status as a Pure Math Major is not helping me achieve my dreams.
I Hate the following.
So I'm doing the whole "good/smart big sister role" and helping my idiot of a sister with her grade 10 French book which is actually a book I read in grade 8 French class cause I'm smart.
Sorry Robin Hood, you've been duped.
The latter group of people are huge losers.
Girl Crushes are a wonderful thing.
In the midst of a solo dance party in my kitchen...
I love Christina Aguilera.
ATTENTION WORLD!
...the delicious Molly Swain.
Should you dance in a tight black dress, it will most likely rip from the zipper to your mid thigh.
...a maladie undisclosed.
A slow one for asthma.
Yesterday I was all "man my eyelashes are frosting"...
...for reasons which are undisclosed to the public at time of publishing (and for an infinite amount of time after publishing) .
Kids, don't be idiots. Leave your homes and go to summer camp. It is the best place in the world.
Dancing hardcore with broken pants.
Ewan Mcgregor is a babe and drugs are bad. Real Bad.
Spell check is not working
My sister and I had massive plans for the best Sailormoon website ever
I think a medium sized alien is about to rip it's way out of my stomach and then devour me from head to toe.
My mother thinks i'm a miserable child. I think she is too stressed and afraid of laziness/relaxation.
Got a new blog layout. It's black. Like my heart.
Unfortunately it hit her right in the eye and she cried a bit, but it was still hilarious.
Why is it that inspiration and the motivation to do great things comes to me at the most inopportune times?
I practice killing people regularly.
Every time in breath I instill fear in the heart of some Hell's Angels member.
That is all beside the point however because the true fact of the matter/my life is that I LOVE ZACH BRAFF.
See kids, high school is not for naught.
At this moment in time I have done 0 of my homework and 0 of my reading which will probably get me very little above a 0 on my mid-terms, when ever they may be. I'm a little bit stressed right now due to this fact.
Bad news - kick starting my life is not going so well
More bad news - i am a huge loser with no friends
How will I do this? By sitting on my blog and making a list of course!
Also, I really like the part when Camille, played by Solange Knowles, is ready to throw down. She's just like "Carisha! Hold my shit" and starts to take out her shoulder length hoop earrings. Clearly she has done this before.
I have to go to class. Balls.

Best Albums of 2007
My body doesn't digest the majority of delicious food and I have trouble sleeping. This makes me miserable. To not be miserable I spend 12.22 on mushrooms, hummus and sushi at my local overpriced grocery store. I also listen to music.
The following albums are totally kickass and make me happy. Hopefully they came out in 2007 to adhere to the title of this post. If not, oh well. I listened to them extensive amounts this year and since I'm the authority on everything, thats what really counts. Also, I am really confused by my chronology right now.
The Dudes - Brain heart Guitar (2006)
Amy Winehouse - Frank
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Woodpigeon - Songbook
The Wombats - The Wombats EP
Voxtrot - Voxtrot
Bright Eyes - Cassadaga
Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics (2006)
Stars - Do you trust your Friends?
Stars - In the Bedroom after the War
Gogol Bordello - Super Taranta
Feist - The Reminder
Good Shoes - Think before you speak
The Grates - Gravity Won't Get you High (2006)
Los Campesinos - Sticking Fingers Into Sockets
Eskimo and Sons - How does it Feel to be Crushed by One Man with the Strength of a Million
Kanye West - Late Registration (2005)
Mother Mother - Touch up
Kate Nash - Made of Bricks
A couple of really disappointing albums:
Tegan and Sara - The Con
Kanye West - Graduation
Justice - (Cross)
Why?
Tegan and Sara have been whining for forever. There old stuff is good when your 16 and there is tension everywhere but they need to grow up. Graduation is basically just Kanye thinking he is the shit. He isn't. Late Registration was way better and he probably wont put out anything that good again. Justice is a douche bag. He didn't even title the album. I thought religions exploitation was used by hip hop folk and George Bush, not little DJ Electro dance boys. Also, I know this guy named Dan you could whip up and album entitled (Star of David) and kick Justice's ass.

Kicking it off right. ish.
As my first post of the new year, I feel this should be epic. I also feel like I should compile a list of my favorite albums or something because I profess to like music a lot. That said, I am a) lazy and b) think a year is way to long a period of time to evaluate (this is namely due to my laziness). An epic and music filled entry with tops and bottoms and fav fads may appear. Hopefully. My new years resolution is to be less a lame ass slob and do more things that are interesting and stimulating. I say this a lot.
Regardless, this first blog of the new year (however many days late it may be) is dedicated to my most avid reader, Rosanna Crawford. Fear not my heart, fan club t-shirts are coming out soon. After I re evaluate my financial situation.
Evaluation of Financial situation:
Not as much as I had last semester.
This means less sushi and band merch. LCBO spendings and concert ticket fees however have squeezed past the cut. It was a tight race but after an intense period of prioritization I remembered what the two most important tings in my life are: Peace and Love. Jokes - Booze and Beats.
Along with my pledge to be more stimulating, I as well resolve to find out what the deuce is wrong with my intestines/body. This knowledge coupled with my new workout regime (it entails actually going to the gym) will hopefully help me reach my last new years goal: rockin a bod like that of Ginger Spice. I will then reunite with my childhood girl band for our reunion tour. See you at the Gardens.

Along with my pledge to be more stimulating, I as well resolve to find out what the deuce is wrong with my intestines/body. This knowledge coupled with my new workout regime (it entails actually going to the gym) will hopefully help me reach my last new years goal: rockin a bod like that of Ginger Spice. I will then reunite with my childhood girl band for our reunion tour. See you at the Gardens.
