New Year’s Eve

So… New Year’s is upon on us (at least in Canada, in Japan it’s already happened, but sadly I am not there). In less than 12 hours I will be in a whole new year. And what, 4 more to go until the Mayan Prediction of the end of the world?
I’m celebrating tonight by going to the show being put on by a local radio station X 92.9 where Alexisonfire is playing along with Chixdiggit, 10 Second Epic and…someone else (none of which get links, take that shit rock!!!…actually I’ve never heard of any of them, so I don’t know if they are shit rock).
I guess the fourth band is Madcowboys. Doesn’t that sound like fun. If you can’t tell, I’m going to see Alexisonfire. Adam got me into them a while back, but only their newer stuff. I still can’t stand the incessant screaming on their older albums. But I digress.
That is what I am doing for New Years, nothing overly exciting. Dinner and a concert at MacEwan Hall.

I got a job interview too, which is good. It’s on January 2nd, for an on-campus job. I need money for travelling this summer. I’m hoping to convince my mom to let me take her to Scotland (#258 on the list). Hopefully we can do other things, like spending a few nights in a Scottish Castle (#86), or drinking tea in England (#220), or dancing in Stonehenge (#107). So yes, job interview in a few days, so I can pay my rent and save up for travelling this summer! And get like 10398102398 things off my list done!

My mom better let me take her, otherwise she’s getting a lot more than a kick in the ass!

A selection of photos from my Montanarama roadtrip

I started photobucket account to upload pictures, which you can find here. I’ll post some here from time to time or alert you to when I update thephotobucket account. I just uploaded a new album called Montanarama.

Here’s a few

Edit: Suppose I should say these are from my trip to Billings Montana with my boyfriend Adam to see Tool in concert.

Night out dancing

Had a good time last night.

Went back to Milestones with Sarah and Gwen and spent a lot of time chatting. Milestones is pretty good, at least in Calgary on Stephen Ave, really good Long Island Ice teas (which I tried for the first time last night!…so maybe I can’t judge them yet…) and blended margaritas. Then we cruised around Calgary looking for somewhere fun to just dance, and ended up at Bamboo. Great place! A little too indie-scene and crowded for me, but any where with no cover and no drink minimum where you can just dance is fine by me. Pretty decent music as well. Oh, and my gin and tonic was almost entirely gin, which rocked!!!

I miss being back in Calgary where I can have something of a life. Sarah and Gwen have promised to come visit me in Lethbridge though, and we’re going to get a limo (#212) and go out for the evening! They better keep up their end of the bargain, that’s all I can say.

Randomness for today

So a friend suggested I do two things:

1. video casts for this site
2. video tape me doing things on my list

And I am taking them to heart, expect the first video-cast when I get back home to Lethbridge.

I’m going out dancing tonight, I think. Love it. Had brunch at Avenue Diner on 8th ave in Calgary (wasn’t a huge fan), shopped at Winners (hello 7.99 high ball glasses!), and watched Sweeney Todd at the Globe Cinema (love Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter!, not so big on the movie itself).

So I hope everyone has noticed that no where on my list is having a child. This is intentional. I don’t want babies. I’ve been thinking about it lately, and the Hollywood Baby Explosion is bothering me. I don’t know why. It’s like none of them know what birth control is! Whatever, I’m sure some of them were planned. Especially Jaime Lynn’s, right?

There was something else I was going to say, but I can’t for the life of me remember.

Additions

Added two new pages, the Book List and more importantly, my 2008 Resolutions.

Make sure you check them out.

Got any ideas?

I’ve hit a roadblock with thinking of more things for the list, anyone got any suggestions for me? Leave them in the comments!

Cheesecake making – 218 crossed off

So I made a cheesecake in the course of my Christmas baking. It was disappointing though, I wasn’t a fan of the recipe, I don’t think I would have chosen it to begin with, but the guest rules, right?

It was fun and I think I will do it again, but certainly not with the “Rocky Road” recipe.

One more thing crossed off!

Sex Show

Wow, I’ve been neglecting life! I guess term paper month will do that.

So three weeks ago I went to the Sex Show. It was SO FUCKING BORING! Just a bunch of stands with thongs and dildos. Who cares.

But I did it, I don’t have to like it for it to count right?

Also last weekend I went to Montana to see Tool, and I met Adam Jones from the band (see inset, picture by my Adam). It wasn’t on my list, but it was still cool. And I totally proved I had the balls to approach someone famous. Pretty cool, if you ask me.

Also, I’ve updated the list, so check that out.
