I can't believe I'm not in BC anymore
- by admin
it feels like a lifetime since we left and an eternity while we were out there
getting our partay on in the mountains
eating donairs from Fatty Arbuckle's
drinking too much beer
listening to some awesome music
(and some not-so-awesome music once and a while)
scorching ourselves in the sun
riding topless on bullrides
fighting against each other with inflateable sticks
(pictured -I won)
being wowed by mountains
getting bitten by mosquitoes
(who'll give ya the worst red marks evar)
getting lost in the woods
and on the way to the bathroom
and on the way back
at night
while it was raining
babysitting good friends
making new ones
learning new phrases
pretending to be Austrailian
and lots more that I'm way too lazy to try to remember
because I know it'll just make me sad
until I can go back next year.
miss ya, Motion Notion!
can you believe we're on the road right now?

I'm crammed into the backseat of this huge rental car with Tyrone and Morley and Komus and between us we have all our camping gear, clothes, and 8 working projectors and 1 broken one and we're driving out to Golden, BC to go to Motion Notion where Komus is playing and Onion Union are doing two VJ sets and I'm just going to party and look good.
I'm excited about this trip for several reasons
1. roadtrips are awesome
2. I've never been to BC
3. I've never been to MoNo
4. three of the best guys in the world are driving me there
(because yr girl still hasn't gotten her full license)
which means I get to chill in the backseat and watch Breaking Bad and Archer and other miscellaneous show on the macbook while the boys take care of driving and partake in what I'm sure will be hilarious banter because you know I've got some of the funniest friends around.
I'm so excited, guys.
I've only ever been on one road trip, which isn't really a road trip at all and more of 8hrs in a car driving to Connect. though it's still fun I don't know if it counts and I'm looking for my first for-real trek somewhere in an automobile. even if I still have all the comforts of home like Internet and tv shows and greasy snacks.
but I should do right now is ditch the laptop and eat this burger that we just picked up and watch some fine television until it's Tyrone's turn to drive and I get to sit in the front seat. you know, because I'm his girlfriend and that's how Road Rules work.
sometimes it pays to be me.
she put flowers in my hair

we walked and scuffed at rocks and aww'd at baby ducks
we talked about our hopes, our fears, our great loves and broken hearts
mostly the last two
because they're what everyone has in common.
everyone has a tale of great romance
great, sweeping loves that carry you away
and everyone has had their heart stepped on
thrown away, set on fire, or simply left behind
but not everyone
gets to have a friend like her.
my camera comes home today

I barely use my Canon T1i ever since I got my iphone last year but I took some sweet shots of MEME 2012 and Folk Fest and I need to post some of that ish up here because otherwise it doesn't look like I've gotten up to anything, does it?okay fine here are some iphone shots just for you guys. only 'cause I love you.
MEME 2012:
Folk Fest:
I've also been obsessed this vid lately. yeah I know it's like 11mins long but it's seriously worth it both for the video and the tracks. WhoMadeWho are amazing. I really like that the series of 3 videos they did (of which this one is a part) makes some really good points about modern-day culture and consumerism.
happy birthday Nikola Tesla
- by admin
did you know that he was a badass mofo? because he was, before he went all nuts and thought a female pigeon was in love with him.
but nevermind that because he was super cool the whole rest of his life and we're all allowed to go crazy once and a while, right?
I've been a bit obsessed with nikola tesla for a long time and would totally love to go into why in this post but I don't think most of you want to listen to me get a wide-on for a dead scientist so instead let's watch this video that adequately sums up tesla's story and is also hilarious.
I'll just be trolling pictures of him on the internet. no biggie.
I'm only giving you five minutes, blog

because the minute I stopped moving I felt like lying down and I can't blog while lying on the couch rewatching episodes of sherlock because that benedict cumberbatch is just too damned amazing and distracting for me to actually focus on typing.plus my feet still hurt from folk fest and I'd like to put 'em up asap or perhaps have them rubbed. what's a girl got to do around here to get someone to rub her feet?
wait, don't answer that.
there were lots of peeps walking around the fest with bandaged-up feet because, I assume, they were hoofing it around barefoot and stepped on something sharp which makes my toes curl in a bad way just thinking about it.
I get that folk fest is hippie central but it's still camping and shit still gets all busted and nothing would suck more than having to hang out at first aid instead of around a campfire with your friends.
which is why I crammed my feet into shoes all weekend even though I wanted to frolic barefoot though the dew and the grass, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to weasel a certain someone who just got home into rubbing 'em for me if they were all bandaged up.
sometimes even I think ahead.
Hip Hop Sunday (Post Folk Fest Edition) - K'Naan - Bang Bang
- by admin
after an intense three days of
volunteering
sun
sweat (lots of it)
dust
minimal hours of sleep at a time
sore, disgusting feet
grit under my nails
safety patrol
amazing free food
new friends
hugs
exhaustion
and smiles
we're home from Folk Fest
and this is the best act we saw all weekend, first thing on Thursday night after we arrived
so all over the place
some songs were soulful & sweet and moved you
some were catchy & fun
and everyone else that was there with us felt the same way as a result:
amazing.
I'll be at Folk Fest in t-minus two hours(ish)

I'm still recovering from the shitshow that was red lake falls last weekend
my nose is still burnt
as are my tits
legs
back
basically all of me
and I'm volunteering which means trucking around in the sun for 7hrs
all on top of camping
singing
dancing
eating amazing free folk fest food
drinking
more singing
and maybe sleeping somewhere in there
it's gonna be a whirlwind weekend
but don't forget
even though I'm not always around
I love you.
see you kids on Sunday!
