Wednesday is my absolutely FAV day of the week!
First and foremost, I take back what I said about the N.A.S.A. album. I have given it about 5 more listens and it's actually growing on me. I could even go so far and say I like more songs than I don't. I guess my Friday hangover was clouding my ability to be open to new music, totally weaksauce. Next time I will try to give a few listens before I make judgment, ALTHOUGH I still think that Money, N.A.S.A. Music and Whatchadoin? are the best songs.
Took a pole dancing class last night with Sue. I/we really liked it. The class we took emphasized Abs, Butt and Thighs using elements of Yoga, Ballet and Aerobics, tres cool (I tried to do the Accent Egu in "tres" and got a mega html error, so je m'excuse)! But oh, the burn this morning!!! I am moving at a much slower pace today. But you see, it was an attempt to fool myself into working out and it worked! I got got, gooooood! We definitely each bought a 20 class pass. See you in class Friday!
You should check, check, check it out!

Lastly, I received unofficial notice that I got into the college Grad Program of my choice! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Initially, I wanted to go to Humber, because they are known as having the most esteemed PR program in Canada. But after I interviewed at the schools, Humber, Centennial and Seneca, I liked Centennial the best for these reasons:
- The campus was really nice with lots of windows
- The students and teachers (profs?) seemed all cool, chill and they weren't as stuck up as some of the other schools
- Their courses seemed more modern and with the times
- Their co-op starts after classes are finished
- Also, the campus is only about 10 minutes away from my house versus 50 minutes travel minimum to get to Humber
I haven't 100% made up my mind yet, but I am pretty sure Centennial is where I want to be in September.
The sun has been shining everyday this week AND Canadian Music Week is fast approaching, these are all signs that spring is near.... I am startin' to get the fevaaaaaaaaaa!
Peas.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
Well, once again it's FRIDAYYYYYYYYYYYYY! And I honestly couldn't be happier! Even though it turned out to only be a three day week for me, as Monday was a holiday and I took a personal day on Tuesday, I AM SO READY POUR LE WEEKEND!
Side note: I appear to be slightly hung over and my only saving grace is instant coffee, beatz and a grilled cheese, bacon and tomato sandwich.
This week has been a serious music week for me, I bought two albums on iTunes(see critiques below) and stumbled across a lot of SAweeet remixes on HypeMachine, here are a few I feel are worth mentioning:
Feist - I feel it all - Diplo remix
Thunderheist - Baggy Bottom Boys - Jokers of the Scene Remix
U2 - Get Your Boots On - Crookers Remix
Also, I've kind-of just discovered this neat genre of music, or at least, I've just become aware of it, DUBSTEP. The base is so grimey j'adore!
TOP anthem of the week:
Kid Sister - Pronails - Rusko Remix
It's ooooooooooooooooo effin' dirty! Practically everyone I know has been listening to it on repeat since Saturday. My pal Tenny apparently got caught listening/boppin' around to it in the office at his new job - TOP NOTCH! ;)
BUT, I do have a few qualms with some of the music that has crossed my path this week:
N.A.S.A.'s much anticipated debut album SUCKS! Aside from the from the couple of s
ongs that were leaked in advance and the Sizzla track, the album was totally not worth the $9.99 I paid for it, well in my opinion anyways. At least i bought it online and didn't waste any plastic buying the actual CD. I am still going to give it a couple more listens, but I don't really see myself going to the concert on March 13th...
And the new Lily Allen, meh. I don't really know what I expected, but again I reiterate MEH.
On that note, I am peacing out.

Garbage Island, this is what keeps me awake at night...
ABOUT GARBAGE ISLAND
For years we’ve been reading about a patch of garbage the size of Texas floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, ingeniously dubbed the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Basically, any trash that gets dumped in the water rides the currents to this one spot and joins an ever-increasing flotilla of crap. For all the breathless accounts of the mess and its impact on the area’s sealife, however, no one seemed to have a picture of the buildup.
In order to sate our own curiosity, VBS joined the crew of a research vessel studying the trash and sailed out into one of the most remote spots of open water in the world, the North Pacific Gyre, in search of this mythical garbage island. What we discovered once we got there was an ecological disaster beyond any of our expectations and possibly the single worst thing human beings have done to the planet and ourselves. Hope you’re into cancer and sex-reversal!

By the by, I have said no to about 35 plastic bags since Christmas. Thirty-Five and counting!

Keepin' it local
Had a particularly goood weekend and consequently in a stupendous mood today!
Friday night puzzled until the wee hours of the morning. Finished and realized I was missing a piece! Are you SERIOUS?!?!?! How you gonna sell a girl a 500 piece puzzle and only give 499 pieces??? Maybe that's why it was only $3.99, sheeeeit!
Anyhow, Saturday night had some of my ladies over for dinner, beer and a little Ouija board!
We had little success with the Ouija, probably because we consumed about 9 beers each, it ain't no thang. Thennnnn... Around 12am we decided to get some fresh air and grab a drink somewhere, but where? The Beaches bar scene has always been kind of weak, but since the Wave burned down, my hood has been cursed and dull as heck!
Suddenly, I remembered... Curzon! It's a new spot that opened at Leslie and Queen, apparently the same owner as the Ossington (but don't quote me on it)? It's a cool little joint, nice ambiance, good beats, and extra-ordinarily HOT bartenders, holla! But apparently though, we were a little late on this spot and it's esthetically pleasing bartenders, because it was a serious vagina-fest that night. Super fun none the less, got home shared a pizza with Becks and ate 3 pecan tarts... My tummy hated me the next morning.
Sunday, finished Season 3 of the Wire and worked on another puzzle all day The Wire was the best thing to happen to me this winter!!!
