GRE scores, lawn darts, house painting and driving a stick.

Hmm. After the oh-so-succinct summary of the past two days that I have given in the title of this post, I feel as if I have nothing to actually write. Meh. I'll elaborate. So, yesterday, after a full day of prep work for the first day of the summer rec program (which was today) I went to do some more painting at John's place then had a couple beers and some dinner at Montana's. All in all, a fun-filled day. To top it off, when I got home and checked my mail, I had finally received my GRE subject test scores. YAY!!!! And the people rejoiced. At least, I did. So I opened them. And I saw that they were good. At least, I think they are. I'm sure I'll find out when I try to use them to get into grad school.
Today was DAY 1 of the summer rec program at work: THE BBQ!!!!! Basically, the day consisted of: running the lawn darts event, standing in the rain, getting soaked standing in the POURING rain, getting a brief orientation at the other facility on the campus, helping with a BBQ while standing in the rain, then getting a sunburn running the lawn darts event. Not in the rain. Oh yeah, and I jumped in the bouncy castle. THEN, I went and did some more housepainting at John's until we decided that it was time I learned how to drive a standard. Which, apparently I have some sort of mental block for, because I just CAN'T get it. Oh well. He told me that I was thinking too much; that I was too smart to learn to drive stick. I told him, "I know you're humouring me, but thanks." Oh well, driving lesson #2 tomorrow, so we shall see how that goes. So, that's pretty much it. I'm sitting here now, still covered in paint, about to plan my music activities for the rest of the week ( and by rest of the week I mean tomorrow and Thursday; that's right, get a three day weekend EVERY WEEK ;) I need to figure out from someone how to add links to other people's blogs on my site so that I can add Paul and Kristen and Courtney and Genevieve and anyone else who would like their affiliation with me to be essentially a matter of public record. Anyone?......Anyone?......Bueller.......Sorry. Well, off to plan some activities, watch some CSI showcase style and get some sleep.

Happy Canada Day!

OH CANADA!!!!
And so on and so forth. So far the nation's birthday has been relatively uneventful. I had band rehearsal in Kingsville with some of Eclipse to work on some new stuff, then just watched some Dr. Phil (YES, I'm addicted. Courtney, you feel my pain, right??) Well, I'm finishing this right now at 3 AM. After a fun filled night at Big Dicks, followed by karaoke at Patty O's and then capped off with a drink at Papa Cheney's. So, it was fun. Saw Myles tonight, which was totally random. It was definitely nice to see him again. Anyway, right now Lindsey and I are just finishing our McDonald's and heading to bed, so this is going to be it for my blogging for this evening. Happy Birthday Canada!

Bored on a rainy day....

So, I decided to check out this blog thing that everybody seems to be doing. When I first heard about it I thought: "why would I do that; my life isn't anywhere NEAR that interesting that anyone would want to read about it every day." But.....then I thought: "THEY don't know that." So...before I start telling you all about my promotion to senior editor at VOGUE magazine and my new waterfront villa in Spain.....yeah..right. I do have an apartment in Windsor though, that if I walk four blocks I can see the Detroit River, so it's kind of waterfront property. ANYWAY....Courtney, the Blog Stalker (self-proclaimed, I believe) was the one who told me to check out some of the blogs our friends had, and lo and behold, I discovered this intricate little world of...well, basically reading other people's journals. So of course, I was in. Naturally, spying on other people's lives and wondering why theirs are more interesting than mine is one of my favourite pastimes. So, here it is. My contribution to the world of blogging.

So...today is really boring. I picked up my police clearance and paid my union dues. 170 DOLLARS??!?!?! Damn musician's union. It's really funny; I've probably spent like, $500 plus on all these new 'jobs' I'm starting (the band,the day camp, respite)....I better start seeing some payback pretty damn soon. So yeah. Heading off to watch some Dr. Phil in about ten minutes, followed by some massive apartment cleaning, and then some beers at Charly's with Jennifer and her sister and hopefully Allison. Wow. I'm hoping tomorrow will be Productivity Day, which I have a feeling it won't be seeing as it's also Canada Day. But who really knows.
