The Peak Performance Project

That's what I went to Thursday. Boy was it amazing. The Matinee has wicked Banjo and Guitar. Current Swell has amazing trombone and slide guitar. And the Boom Boom's really know how to get a crowd going.


I was in the very front at one point and have a couple tshirts from this amazing show. Plus I enjoyed noodle box and tried Cafe Crepe. I love food adventures.


Now for the weekend.


I went to see my friend Melissa's film at BCIT entitled Grad of the Year. I really enjoyed it. Very funny and very well made. I then went shopping with my mum and acquired a dress for my cousin's wedding which is next month. I not only look classy, I look grown up and a little sexy. It's a little black dress but it's perfect. 


Saturday was our bottle drive. In total we raised 1065 dollars . That evening I went curling with my parents. We won 3 games, lost 2 and tied 1. Not bad considering this is my second time playing. I also voted. Because if you don't vote you can't complain. 


Sunday i worked. We are officially open for skiing. Only certain runs though. And as each shift goes on, more and more things go wrong and I go....why am I still here? By this I mean we just finished matienance on the red tram and as I start my shift I get warnings that it's still stalling and I might have to slow down when i dock. Oy..


I also had a good cry yesterday Internet. I'm keeping everything bottled up. Just because I blog about it doesn't mean I feel better. I am extremely jealous of her I hate that she's dating him and I want them to break up. But I keep that to myself. 


I dislike how I feel and how I look but I did go to the Gym on Thursday and am starting Yoga on Thursday. I've always wanted to try it and now  I shall.


I am handing in my magazine story , starting my final one soon, finishing off my paper, finishing my documentary, and giving my last speech tomorrow night.


Then it's finals.


It's crunch time

About as Helpful as You can Be without Being any Help at All

My favourite song off Dan Mangan's new album Oh Fortune. Which by the way the concert was epic. I now  own the cracklings cd and it's signed and the other opening band the Daredevil Christopher Wright was pretty good too. 


Thursday I lounged about and had a quiet day. It was lovely. Friday was Remembrance Day. A day in which we take time to remember those who have fought and died for our country. Since I can recall I have gone to the Cenotaph participated in the parade in my uniform and then had lunch with my Great Uncle Joe who fought in World War 2. 


Next year I'm going to the Legion with him and I'm buying the first round. After lunch I went out flyering for the upcoming bottle drive. It was windy it started hailing it was rather crazy weather. 


That night I went out to the Arkells. and I saw Dan there :) so that was awesome. Saturday was more a lay about day but I did some work. In fact I had the house to myself so it was rather quiet. 


Yesterday I worked and the wind will be the death of me. Nothing is more terrifying then being on that tram when it's windy. Nothing. Even on the blue tram which has better clearance. and according to some of my coworkers we were on standby yesterday evening. A weird way of saying we can't run the tram till the wind calms down. 


I've handed in my photo essay so my week is off to a good start. I have laundry that needs to be done and all sorts of other organizing that needs to happen. and there is less then 3 weeks of classes left so I should probably start cramming for finals next week.


I finish them on the 13th which is superb then I'm off to my cousins wedding. But I still haven't found a dress and I need to do that.


Here's to this week!

So begins the month of facial hair

November has had an interesting start. A bad midterm mark, a good speech, a really bad transit ride.


But ROGER WATERS IS COMING BACK TO VANCOUVER TO PERFORM THE WALL


So it's ok. I am beyond stoked. And I also scored floor tickets to Megadeth . So I'm already stoked for the new year. 


My papers are going well. I did really well at my driving course and spent the afternoon in the states with my Dad. I have Nyan cat shirt , new plugs and rings. Good haul in my opinion.


I have laundry that needs to be done, workouts to plan, and other such things to organize. Next week is DAN MANGAN! <3 plus the Arkells.


Not gonna lie I really wish I wasn't working tomorrow. I'm craving something new...I need to get off that mountain. I need something closer. 


Ontario is going to happen come hell or high water. I've almost decided what classes I want next semester and have an awesome registration date. 


And to all my gentleman friends growing hair this month? Good luck to you all
