Calm a llama down.
It's really hard to wake up before noon when you have absolutely no natural light in your room. I got shafted (despite pulling the big straw) into having the tiny, pink room of the flat which.. is fine for me. I mean, I would rather have some air flow and sunlight but I lived in a basement for long enough to be able to revert easily back into Creature of the Night mode.

Since it's been a good five months since I've had one singular roommate, Roomieface is being retired in favor of ACT 1 (Ashley) and ACT 2 (Alex). It makes sense, since it's both of their initials and Ashley is older. Anyway, moving on.

I'm extremely unemployed and the result has been me sleeping in rather late. I'm going to bring out some more resumes and stuff today after I do my laundry and get some groceries, though. On the 18th I have my interview with 680News for an internship, so wish me luck on that front. I feel like I got it, since when she called she had nothing but good things to say about my (EXTREMELY RUSTY AND OUT OF PRACTICE) writing.

I met up with my all time favourite Italian yesterday. I had to go back to Seneca to get the head of Radio to sign some legal shit for the internship and he met up with me so we could get some lunch/dinner.

It was outrageous being at school again. Walking into the cafeteria and not knowing anybody. The Burli room had been completely gutted and was gone. Signing out audio suites had become computerized. There were MORE audio suites downstairs. It's all really very unfair, haha.

It took some hunting down but eventually Mike and I found Jim. He was teaching a large pack of first semester radio kids, and it was so strange. In some ways they were exactly like my year. They all showed up back at the Ward Beck room at the exact same time, like they were traveling in a big 30-kid pack. Totally what we used to do.

I took an agenda. Those school agendas are the best kind, I don't care what anyone says.

Mike and I had lunch at Blueberry Hill, for old times sake. As usual, his nachos took far too long to make and my poutine was delicious. It was nice to see him. So far, out of the radio kids, I've only seen Hobbs a handful of times. Mike and I talked about... well, depressing things, really.

On the topic if Hobbs: ACT 1 and I went downtown to the Horseshoe Tavern to see his brother's band play on Saturday night. We were feeling cooped up in the apartment and ACT 2 had a couple of friends over, so there was really sort of limited space. Hobbs had called me earlier in the day to tell me about the show and since I'd never seen his brothers band play, I figured why not.

Hobbs gave us some bad directions and we were literally soaked through to the bone by the time we arrived, but we made it in time. His brothers band is called We Are The Take and they actually struck me as something you would enjoy dancing to, [info]anythingtwice. They played VFest this year. They're getting moderately big. I thought they were amazing.

Its nice living on the TTC, not having to be home by 11:30pm because you'll miss the last bus home. I just need a jooooob.

And, because it makes me laugh really hard, a clip from The IT Crowd:

I have heard of that band before but haven't listened to them. If you think I would like to dance to them, then I shall give them a listen.
Where are you living now?

You should come with me next time they play. I'm living in North York now, Bathurst and Lawrence basically.

LMAO seriously. you watch more british shows than i do. do you guys even get those anti-piracy ads on your dvds? i always thought they were really stupid. like - 'you wouldn't steal a handbag'. well, yeah, people get mugged every sodding day. they just assume that it's only clean-living, decent people who watch dvds or something. idk. and do you want to just swap televisons and you can watch the mighty boosh and the IT crowd and i can watch snl and whose line?

HAHA i just watch a lot of random tv, and most good tv these days happen to be british or a remake of something british. and yeah, we have those ads but they play at the theatre before all the previews. and i'm always like... yes, yes i would steal that handbag. so i could afford to SEE MORE MOVIES.

we dont need to switch, we have the glory that is the webbernet! that, and i dont have cable.. the tv in our apartment is strictly for video games and movies. sob.

I miss you. I have 109 dollar credit with WestJet. BASICALLY, I'll be back whenever Alexisonfire decides to have a Toronto show. D: Hopefully they'll pull something together for the hols. I hope. I miss them. But I miss you more than I miss them. For serious.

PS. I clicked that link. That band sounds awesome.

No, I miss YOU. Those AoF dudes better their show in the road (and into Toronto) soon, or else I will be massively bummed. COME BACK TO ME.

They are! I was so fucking impressed. Hobbs used to play some of their songs for me, but live they are just amazing.

AoF is amazing. They will. I know they will. They really can't resist. And it will be amazing. You had better be joining me when this goes down. And it will. It is inevitable.

Ugh, you're making me want to see them. LOL.

I probably will join you when this goes down, if only because it will mean more Shan time!
