spoiled chinese girl

My most favouriteist Mexican is coming home tonight! And he forgot that Toronto has winter. *giggles*

So the masses requested nay, demanded an update. And I'm sure he's now squeeling with delight that I put a direct link to his page from mine. Because, you know, I'm a BME celebrity and all. Hahaha. I'm not really. And my “amicool.exe” proves it. I'm going to go update that once I'm finished writing this post.

So this weekend wasn't that bad. I saw my friend Jeffy's band Jemo play at a place in Toronto called “The Bagel” *shrug* It was a great set & I'm seriously planning on going to the shows in January in Oshawa and Lindsay. Anyone in those towns want to go out? It's a Friday and Saturday night (I can't remember which is which) January 6 and 7th. Serious good times.

Saturday I spent the whole day at my friend Brandon's house on my computer (Yes. I was at his house. And on my computer. Litterally. It's a computer that is owned by me.) on MySpace, well, on his band's MySpace inviting people to check out the music and junk. I know I invited at least 2 members of IAM so… uh… oops I don't like getting harassed like that either but I was really bored. Finished off the night passing out before getting booted out of the house.

Sunday I spent the whole day at my own house on my computer on myspace adding people. But my computer at my house is loads slower so it was boring and slow all at the same time. But I got to talk to Jeffy about his show which rocked, and his hot drummer, who's apperently married but also an amazing drum teacher. So I'm going to score a phone# off Jeffy sometime and either learn how to play drums, or learn how to become a homewrecker. (I wouldn't really, if he's seriously married, but dude, if he's single, I'm *ALL* over that!)

Which brings us to Today. I had a dream that I was in a simpsons episode. It was kinda creepy. At work my coworker was being genreally a b**** because she hit someone and now is out a whole load of money to fix that car, and her own. And I spent a good portion of the late afternoon collating invoices. We need 3 copies, a white one, a yellow or “canary” one, and a pink one. Well, they get printed in massive blocks of white, then yellow, then pink. So someone has to sit there and put them in order sheet-by-sheet. And that someone was me. So I did enough to fill the drawer of the printer twice over, and will leave it at that until I get bored. Of course, there's 2 versions, so I had to do it twice. So 4 times in total these drawers are filled.

I go home now. I sign up for a gym soon. I get to see my best friend sooner than that.

So last night was the Jemo show at The Bagel.
Hahaha. “The Bagel” That’s a freaking awsome name for a place.
I’m not even sure what kind of a place to call it. It’s not a bar, it’s definately not a club. I’m sure in the morning it makes a great greasy spoon, and at night it seems to make a pretty cute little joint to play at. The entire venue-type thingie was about the width of my bathroom and twice as long, and I swear my dining room set has more chairs than the entire… uh… restaurant?

Anyways. I first heard of The Bagel because the place added me to their myspace profile, obviously to gardner interest in having people play there and shit. I say obviously because as soon as I added them, I was fucking flooded with nearly daily bulletins stating they wanted bands to play on This, this, this and That night. Seemingly like they needed bands to play every night of the week, every week of the year, one “block” of dates at a time. While I remember mentioning to Brandon that SOT should play there at some point just because I thought it would be funny to say “Hey, I played at The Bagel!” All I needed was another place down the street called “A Tub of Cream Cheese”

So. When Jeffy (a.k.a. Jemo) posted a Bulletin saying HE (and the band, obviously) was going to be playing at the Bagel, First I laughed my ass off because after all the harassment I was getting from their myspace, I’m surprised that anyone would have actually signed up. Then I thought it rocked that it was Jemo because what can I say, I’m sick of SOT.*
*Not particularly “sick of” but it was the best way to explain the situation.

So. After the last 4 paragraphs, we’ll jump into the fact that the show was last night.
I was terrified that the stupid snowstorm thingie would still be in effect, but it disapeared so I ended up going.
I somehow blew a lot of money on alcohol I didn’t drink.
My camera battaries don’t hold at charge *AT ALL* which made the idea of taking hot looking pictures of Jeffy out of the question.
My MD while recorded just fine with the mic in my bag, when I took it OUT of my bag it sounded LOADS better so I have to remember for next time to keep the mic out of my bag for recording purposes.

The show rocked. It was hilarious and funny and my second time watching Jemo, but my first time really “experiencing” it. I mentioned months ago that I was going to retire from doing video recordings of stuff because I can’t really enjoy stuff since I’m thinking of lighting, camera angles, and if someone’s going to walk into my shot. Well I wish I had my video camera that time, since it was a really great show where Jeff was having loads of fun with it. That and it was fucking awsome that he had to tune his guitar, and made his drummer start playing jazz just to fill in the time. BTW, that drummer is HOT.

So I don’t actually know any of the Jemo songs, I recognize some them, but actually knowing them like knowing titles, and words and stuff are totally beyond me. So I can’t help you out there. I just know the drummer looked hot, the bassist was cute, and Jeff was having a great freaking time jumping around on the dance floor since there wasn’t enough room for him on the stage. Before last night I didn’t think Jemo songs was something you could jump around to, but I’ve been pointed in the error of my ways.

Anywhoo, I was saying before I wasn’t going to go to the Lyndsay or ‘Shawa shows because they’re too far away, but I just might to redeem myself with my technology and actually get some pictures and a better recording.

And Jeffy’s now got in his hot little hands a copy of his show, and the set he did with SOT back in October. Finally.

Anyways, Jemo is the name of the band and everyone needs to check them out!

I take my twice-yearly break from IAM, (just about 48 hrs, not bad for an internet addict), and find out that the majority of the site has been down for that long as well. So at least I don't feel left out?

Anyways. Danielle goes to the unicycle doctor tomorrow for a tru-ing. New piercings hopefully Monday to finish a project. I need to visit “the boy” more often apperently. Friend's band is playing next Friday. My life is no longer as interesting as it once was. I think I pissed off another boy. *shrug*. Hopefully I can keep a certain Mexican boy a secret for a certain Xmas party. Generally spending more money than I make. Winter tires on Mark make him run slower and drink more gas.

And by “love” we all know that means presents. Hahaha. It's always fun to throw wishlists up to see what might come of it. Really. It's hilarious just to see the amount of sheer crap and how much it all costs when it's on a wishlist and you're not the one paying for it all. Also I find it hilarious that with these three wishlists, I can make the bold and brash statement that:
a) I am a sport/unicycle enthusaist (Mountain Equipment Co-op)
b) I am a couch potato (Amazon.com)
c) I am a unique freak just like everyone else (Hot Topic)
d) I really really miss shopping at BMEshop (BMEshop, duh.)

So my page is going to expire at some point tonight, and I'm not renewing it, just like I don't renew it every year, and I'll be back at some point, but it won't be right away, and yes I have a zillion and one coupons but I won't use them, and I never will, and they'll sit in my e-mail collecting virtual dust, and I will go and buy my membership once again soon.

Anyways, my mom's taking me out for dinner, since tomorrow I've got a date with the piercer and who knows what's going on the rest of the week. Out of everything, I have to ask. Is there anyone willing to spend a weekend day/afternoon with me to get a manicure? I want to have my nails stop growing funny and I figure this is the first step in such a process. I think I have an idea of where I'd want to go for it though, but either way give me a ring if you've got some ideas of your own. I guess after meeting the third guy who goes regularly to get such a service done to his hands, that it can't be that bad of an idea for me to go once in a while too.
