Made infused vodka today

Oranges, cinnamon, cloves and brown sugar.

It'll be ready by Connect, which is this weekend, after a jam-packed van ride with friends to Saskatchewan

It's the highlight of my summer

Camping with friends
BBQing
Dancing all night
Shenanigans

Plus Onion Union is doing visuals! Exciting!

Can't wait! Almost time!

Saw the new Beastie Boys video today

July 19, 2011 - 7:09pm - by admin

and while I like it -because who doesn't like the Beastie Boys, Spike Jonze, and videos with dolls pretending to be IRL people in them?-

it's sort of ruined for me, because all videos with dolls as people make me think of this video:



and while the video may be cute, Sum 41 is definitely one of the worst Canadian bands ever (behind Nickelback) and as a result it's all I can think about when I see the BB vid, which makes me sad

what does make me happy is that G+ has an iPhone app, it's Shambled Rambler's birthday and she's still as witty and stunning as ever, and this:

Tried to go see a play Friday night

July 19, 2011 - 4:45am - by admin

we didn't make it

was too busy hanging with these kids and Ty



and eating this



and smoking cigars with Rhondal



at first I felt like this



but we saw a cat on a leash wearing a Bombers jersey



so I felt better

and we went to Lo Pub to say goodbye to mrghosty which I wrote about here.

Kickass show tonight

July 15, 2011 - 12:24am - by admin

Enjoy Your Pumas is opening tonight along with other locals Mise En Scene

I'm mildly obsessed with the Pumas, so check out the vid and lemme know your reaction

(also the vid's shot all around #Winnipeg -that castle the guy rolls out of is on the U of W campus -I took an exam in there once!)

they're also opening for one of my fav bands Library Voices who I adore

mega stoked for this show

and also how free it is (thanks UMFM!)

we're meeting up with @jabezlee and his lovely lady and booking 'er over

and now I've realized

we're going to be late

The world-famous Winnipeg Fringe Festival starts today

July 13, 2011 - 3:43pm - by admin

and though I can't go until Friday

since I'm seeing my Grandma (who doesn't like plays) tonight, and seeing Library Voices tomorrow at the West End Cultural Centre (for free! Thanks @UMFM!)

I scored a set of free tickets from @KingsTransfer and am looking forward to heading out with Ty, @Cenquist and possibly some others to partake in the theater.

For you out-of-towners, the @WinnipegFringe is a huge deal here in #Winnipeg and we get some of the very best, most talented people to come and visit us for a while and perform their musicals, shows and plays.

Ty and I went last year and were harassed by the surliest clown ever and saw a bunch of plays that don't seem to be coming back this year (shame, 'Cactus the Seduction was amazing) and since unfortunately I'm not (yet) SuperWoman which means I can't attend every play I want to see, here are my top four picks:

Bedlam

The Brain from Planet X

Cannibal! The Musical

Hedwig and The Angry Inch

Clearly these are subject to change depending on what times are available, and who happens to be standing around outside promoting their play and are nice to me

(hint: buying me a beer helps in the decision-making ;))

I was drunk

July 12, 2011 - 2:25am - by admin

okay, I wasn't

at least not since Friday

but that's the name of this track

and the ridiculous horribly-cut hilarious vid samples scenes from

Black Cat White Cat

which we haven't watched yet

even though we've watched the video a million times

and it's responsible for our whole social circle doing this:

Hip Hop Sunday #7 Kanye West - Welcome to Heartbreak ft Kid Kudi

July 10, 2011 - 3:35pm - by admin

This is hands-down one of my favourite Kanye vids

love the track, but especially the compression hack fade effect

(and that awful sweater!)

now get the f outside! In #Winnipeg it's going to be over 35 degrees today and Ty and I are heading to Assiniboine Park to take some shots with Hansel and play in the sun

happy Hip Hop Sunday!

Knew it'd be a good day today

July 8, 2011 - 7:10pm - by admin

Ty made me french toast for breakfast

finally got my G+ account (add me! Let's be G+ friends!)

@joeyheflich said this about me (what a sweetheart!):


oh, and I was notified of this awesomeness:


so obviously I had to go and see for myself:


that little red thingy near my name says "breaking", I'm a breaking trend!

Clearly it's a solid Friday.

Enjoy your weekend, my dears! xo

Sometimes I get blue

July 7, 2011 - 5:48pm - by admin

and I think "I can't do it"

so I start to feel bad for myself, or confused

like maybe I can't handle what's thrown at me

then I see stuff like this:



and I tell myself to stop being such a damn baby
