who wants to fuck with us now?

here are more lalande quotes from march 21:

"i have a night life... it's not dangerous, i'm in the choir"

"there's not much to put on your toast for breakfast there!" - refering to there not being much information on a topic we were looking at

"turning a peasant into a worker takes longer than putting on a pair of socks"

today on my walks, to and from school, i couldnt help but notice that i kept stepping into a timewarp. i'm serious, one minute i'm walking around and it's 2006 then BAM! its 1991. i saw 8 people today wearing ripped jeans. 8! and i'm pretty sure they were all the same damn pair of jeans with the rips in the same places. fuck people are annoying. next fall surf style is coming back. vic said he's seen a bunch too.

travel is dangerous

finally picked up the new mogwai "mr. beast". although i've had forever downloaded, it's nice to get the real thing. everyone should go get this album in whatever form they can (especially the version with the bonus dvd). the artwork is really awesome. people who don't like mogwai are retarded FOR REAL

the wars of liberation

k there is this fat guy in my archeology class that drives me nuts. he's so freaking pathetic. he always tries talking to this girl he "knows" and all he can muster are things about her cat. the only thing he ever talks about is her cat, and you can see how awkward she feels when he talks to her. its sorta funny. next, he always tries to act like he's smart so he always raises his hand to speak and it's always about s hit that has nothing to do with what we are talking about (ie him talking about greece while we discuss egypt). and he is like 2 rows ahead of everyone else, so when the prof passes shit around for us to look at, he gets it first. so that means he'd have to get up and walk two steps to pass it to the next row, but no. he sits there and makes the other person come get it. god, it doesnt take much to stand up buddy. i cant stand him

there's also this guy who i think will one day be a drag queen. not that that is a bad thing, but its funny to think cuz he's a pretty big jock, so it would probably offend him. but yeah he totally looks like he'd love drag

guy lalande is the greatest person ever.... i will make a quote post about him later. he is currently my world war 1 and modern china prof.

right now i'm at anna's waiting for class to start. i need to get more sweet yoga moves from her to enhance my skillz

ex-cowboy

i decided last night that when i get my computer back (hopefully today) that i'm going to start working on a guitar based ambient album. i did an ambient album earlier this school year, which was basically a collection of random things i had done over the year, but there was barely any guitar to it at all. i've been listening to windy and carl lately, and it really make me want to record some ambient guitar music without structure. this will be way different than the widow stuff i recorded i guess, since there is more structure and melody in that. i think part of the reason i want to do this is to annoy mark, since he doesn't really like ambient music and i love to hassle him anyway i can.

it looks like i'm moving to ontario this summer to stay with the chapeskie's. it's about 95% sure i guess. over the summer i'm going to hopefully build up a bunch of music to work on with ryan and neil, for when i make my triumphant return to summerside in september. the more i listen to our cd, the more i want to surpass it on so many levels. of course i should feel that way about making another cd, but i really want to wow people. i sort of feel like i haven't progressed much with making music lately. everything i write on guitar just feels the same.
