Short post because I want to get to bed. Had a good day today, it was orientation and I picked up my books and got some important info about the program like hours and etc

Started packing for my trip on thursday, It's going to be fantastic. I thought I would miss a bunch of class (3 days) but now it's seeming like i'm only missing 1 day (friday) as monday being labor day means no school. It definitely takes the pressure off, although I will have to play some catch up.

I've got classes tomorrow, they begin at 8AM and i'm biking there so I need to leave at 7:15. 45 mins to get ready means a 6:30 start and 7 and a half hours of sleep. It should be enough, if not i'll snooze a bit and grab a quick breakfast instead of oatmeal or whatever.

Went to a gear up orientation at NAIT today. Picked up my ID card but didn't learn anything new. Afterwards though there was a concert featuring a great local band, Radioforhelp, and Tokyo Police Club. Both sounded great live, which after listening to Golden Dogs live I was grateful for. Got myself a spiffy autographed T-shirt for like 20$ which is fantastic, it's really nice and classy.

After the show I had a chance to talk with Tokyo Police Club and shoot the shit a bit, talked about their UK tour and how everyone there at their shows just wanted an excuse to fight.



Here's a photo of TPC, typical band on stage pic but whatevs. (original 3.2 megapixel images are 2048x1600 or somethings) might not be the limit of the phone though, i didn't check. The next was a better photo, of radioforhelp.

I just got back from work, i'm really exhausted. I've been doing odd jobs around the farm of a client of my mothers' stables. Her husband became sick with cancer and passed away about 8 months ago and I guess things have been piling up. I guess she's felt really overwhelmed about the whole thing. But i've been doing work there for two days now and i've made a lot of progress fixing the place up. Some things i've done:

- Cemented in the mailbox on the drive
- Cut down 7 dead trees and then chopped em up into firewood
- Cut down bushes and grass around then Painted a Barn (it was a small barn)
- Landscaped a few flower beds around the house, edging, rotor tilling, prepping, laying fabric down, mulch etc etc
- Fixed the fax machine
- Cleaned her truck
- Washed the windows around the house

I feel like andy rooney. There were a half dozen other things but they were small or else i'd probably remember them now.

Whoops forgot about this thing. It's hard to stick to a schedule. I guess my main reason for not posting is that my life has been picking up again. I found full time work for a few days until school starts and a part time position that's perfect when school begins and i've got all the cash I need and more for going to the convention in a week.

I met up with an ex-girlfriend turned friend tonight, things went really well. Her life's certainly been more interesting than mine the past two years as she's found a lot of work modeling. It's really quite impressive, looks like lots of people like her look.




She's done a few magazine covers too, i'm really happy for her. Anyway we had a good conversation and the night ended well.

On top of that, I got my HTC touch diamond today which...

Today was a wash. I did very little and didn't even get out of the house. I have things to do as well, including getting a part time job for when i'm at school.

Obviously this isn't acceptable, i'm going to bed now so i'll be up early tomorrow.
