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.

Just ran 4 and a half miles and I feel tired, but great. I might actually end up running this half marathon!

It's Cory's birthday today! We're having people over for a games night tonight. I have bread in the oven and just need to run to Superstore to get icecream for his cake. Yay me!
