showin' mom some love =)

ya can't eat death for breakfast

& so now my vaca is through...

for the most part, i didn't do a whole super lot with the wk. it was nice to just have some time to sit around & not worry about where i had to be or whatever. i like having some 'me time' & such. emily called me around tuesday though to see if i wanted to go to a lil' concert with some somewhat notable canadian artists playing. perhaps u've heard of them...

AND

ALANIS morissette. so yeah, exciting. went to emily's friday night, watched "how to deal" (a definite post for when i'm not as tired) that night, then went to the shore saturday. we went a rich beach with cabanas, & a lil' dude to retrieve the rich folk's beach chairs when it rained. oh bother. there were no wealthy young men to woo at this beach, just white (although quite tan) families.

after this hard day of rockin' the shore, we went to the concert, only to discover that our seats were terribly good. we were like anxious little kiddies as one usher after another told us that our seats were even closer to the front than we had imagined. BAM! 9th row. quality alright. the bnl were amusing, of course. they put on a good show, even for someone like me who isn't a huge crazy fan. i was looking fwd to alanis though, who let me say, is much smaller than she seems on tv. i had always thought of her as somewhat tall, but no man, she's rather tiny, yet her body is like real ppl size. hips and all. it was really odd to have her walk out & be like damn, i've seen you on tv for years. there were only like 2 songs that i didn't know, which must have been from her most recent album. other than "hands clean," the 3rd album got no love yo. she was very big into playing the old school stuff, much to em's delight. it was awesome... although her long locks & intense rage would have helped out the showmanship on "you oughtta know" more so than her god bless you! attitude which she currently sports, but what can ya do, the gal is happy. ha, yet somehow, it manages to feel like a betrayal of sorts. 2 encores. GOOD STUFF.

me: they have shirts that say i love the ladies.
em: those r ur kind of shirts.

sunday, we went to visit kim, which was of course lovely. seeing school ppl's homes is like what? this is the wrong scenery. ha, it's strange to see their families, middle schools, & such. as if that wasn't enough ic lovin', joe called me to ask me to be in their movie. the shoot fell through, but we all got to eat dinner together, and i also got to see cortney, marc, & john. it was a lovely time, esp considering that i didn't get to see any ic folk last summer. it's only like a month till we go back *craziness* but it was good to get a dose of everyone. *sigh* friends. hugs. good times.

so yes, splendid wked is essentially the moral of the story. i also got some pics from em which r ultra cute, (see above) but alas, i must post the rest later... work tomorrow.
(don't worry mom, i won't let u down ;) )

but yeah, i should go. kisses for all & a merry g'n.
