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:
That is all.

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.
