After playing guitar for ten minutes, my fingers are black. Time for new strings?
I'm making a song book for campfires. Any suggestions? Yes, Lauren, I already have Brian Wilson in there (like we need the words) and the Sweater Song for Kate.
Anyway, it's a beautiful day and I have 8km to run!

hungover = homesick
Last night was Marcel's show at Tubby Dog on 17th. Super tiny venue and like 7 guys way too into moshing. Marcel got hit in the face with a mic and his guitarist also got a fat lip, but it was really rock and roll of them. They didn't even stop playing. Pretty cool, actually. Anyway it was a tight set and we had fun. Drank too much beer (on my part, anyway.)
I miss being part of a music scene! Two weeks, baby.

I did end up getting a call from that guy at the Downtown Deli, and I got the job, too! My summer is basically planned out .. new roomie, new piano, new jobs .. three weeks yesterday and I'll be home!
On Friday night after meeting Cory at BP's for pool and $5.50 doubles, we headed up the road to a pub called Ranchman's to meet a girl I know from work. It's the most well-known country bar in all of Alberta, or something like that. Remember on Cool Runnings when they go to the bar and get in a fight with the Swiss team? That's the bar we went to! Outside the front they have the actual bobsled from the movie and everything. Anyway, there were no fights but the amount of cowboys was uncountable, and the dance floor was covered in couples doing the ol' two step. It was a rocking good time, and next time I go back, I'm bringing my pink cowboy hat Nanny's sisters got me in Florida. Yeeehaw

I was under the impression that the Downtown Deli was going to give me a ring for a phone interview tonight, but so far there has been nothing. I guess I could have been mislead by the wording:
"I will call you tonight at 7pm your time. "
Still, nice to get a reply to all the resumes I have been shipping out.

still, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest
There are many exciting things happening!
Mikey might be coming to Calgary at the end of next month to drive back his sister's car, so we might possibly be canceling our tickets home and driving home instead (arriving at roughly the same date.) This is exciting because I really want to drive across Canada, it would be the perfect way to end this little adventure of mine, Mikey's sister would be paying for our gas, and come on! Driving with Cory and Mikey and his unknown sister? That's just f-u-n waiting to happen.
That would mean, however, that I would go from driving across the country (let's say May 27th to June 2nd) to moving out with Jill (June 2nd) to Aric's band concert (June 3rd) to driving to Montreal (midnight, June 3rd.) Busy week. Oh yeah, and starting whatever jobs I can convince to wait until June 7th, the day after I get home from Montreal.
!!
In other news, this weekend is Cory's big 23 and we're actually doing things. Friday a friend of Jessica's is playing at the Palamino, Saturday we're having a games night and Sunday we're seeing Simon and Garfunkel!
