When I walked to school this morning, it was the usual weather. A little wet, a little chilly, then somewhere around 1:30 in the afternoon, I saw my friend’s MSN nicks updating with various references to snow! It’s 10pm now and the snow is still going on strong!
Here’s a video I took tonight! I’ll try [...]

So over the weekend I caught the “Rockband live” tour featuring Panic At The Disco, Dashboard Confessional, Plain White T’s and The Cab in a faraway location in Toronto. It’s so faraway it’s technically not even Toronto anymore, but Missisauga.
My main issue with the concert was the amount of advertising shoved down our throats, but [...]

Wow this is obviously four days late and I can’t believe it. My excuse is that I had an assignment due on Monday and a presentation on Wednesday. Not truly excuses but anyways…
I’m going to break the format since this is a quick post.
First, I must say the idea of blogging all of this down [...]

If you’re on my MSN, Plurk or Facebook accounts, you might have noticing me freaking out over something called the Kingston Bug a couple of days ago.
So for the curious, here is a link to the Kingston Bug. Fair warning: the image is pretty gross. So don’t click that if you’re squeamish about bugs. (Heck, [...]

I wouldn’t have to do the laundry so often.
It’s simple. Now that winter is rapidly approaching (lows hit 0 degrees almost everyday), the only clothes I change daily are my boxers. Everything else is pretty much recyclable for at least two days, depending how many layers I choose to wear out.
So, like clockwork, every Sunday [...]

You already have my initial thoughts on the Jason Mraz concert in Toronto and a guest review over at Jon’s blog, so for this Music Monday, I’m going to post the whole playlist from Wednesday’s show, in video and in the sequence in which they were played! It’ll take some time to load but be [...]

So first of all, let me say that we (Irini, Leah and myself) didn’t intend to watch this movie. We intended to watch “Burn After Reading”, but because our little cinema here in Kingston is so small, the movies change really fast. So they had five new movies starting today, so apparently “Burn After Reading” [...]

[edit: Videos of the full performance and all the songs are up here!]
I think I’ll be doing a proper review for Jon over on his blog, but I’ll tell you about my “adventures”.
So the concert was at Massey Hall in Toronto (which took me 2 and a half hours to get there by train) and [...]

I had four days of doing absolutely nothing this week, ad yet managed to get most of my stuff done.
Reviewing last week’s goals:

Potato salad has to be postponed yet again =\

Review of Assassin’s Apprentice has to be postponed too

The rest got done. I know when the concerts are and got the tickets, done studying [...]

I know, you’re all going “Who?”. Here’s the back story: Last night I was doing some research for this week’s Music Monday, (hint: it involved searching for Katy Perry on YouTube), what surfaced instead was this:

I know everyone’s trying to be the next Marie Digby, but over 1.3million views and 12 thousand ratings with an [...]
