i (almost) worked my ass off this weekend. but it was cool 'cause i was with friends the whole time. and now i have two days off. ahhh....... nice.
oh, and this morning i finally opened the xmas gifts my brother sent us last week :)
i got them at work (mother's boyfriend brought them to me) friday night and i didn't wanna open them up there, felt too sad :) so i opened them up this morning as soon as i woke up, sitting up in bed :)
he always sends me newspaper cut-outs from over there (banff, alberta) with anything related to music and film. it's always scrappy but nice. this time here's what he sent me:
one soap from the banff centre.
one car air freshener.
the 2003 arts program booklet from the banff centre (with a cute-ass pic of one lisa mendes; call me :)
a 2003 banff mountain film festival t-shirt. nice.
two cd's of indie bands i'd never heard of (brother rarely buys any 'close to mainstream' stuff):
bakunin's bum - fight to win! a benefit for ocap
clann zú - rua
both albums were released on winnipeg's g7 welcoming committee label. go check their site out. funny as hell.
my brother actually got it dead on this time. i haven't listened to them yet but i'm already quite impressed by what i've managed to read on both of them.
. . . . . . .
okay. this is a bit of old news but i couldn't believe it when i read about it so now i'm gonna post two lines about it. deal.
britney is going out on tour (i hope no one on the staff forgets to bring brit's album; it would be kind ofembarrassingg to have nothing to lipsync to) real soon, and guess who just shot down another great chance at some good exposure in the states by opening up for her? kelis.
damn, why are you doing this to yourself???
anyway, those of you in the montreal area who wanna catch a good artist and then boo britney down before leaving will be able to so april 4th.
