today.

Had a great saturday today, oh my. Woke up early (well, like noon), and went to Long and McQuade... and bought a new drum kit! Words can't even describe how stoked I am about this. I'm hoping it will make me a real drummer someday. Here's a photo:

After that was a DATE! Sushi at Ta-ke. It was lovely, the food is great there. And it was nice to go out to eat somewhere sorta fancy. It's also nice to go on a date sometimes. I'm a bit of a romantic, i suppose.

Then we took the dogs to the dog park, which is always fun. And after that we had practice with Uncle. I was soo stoked to be able to play the new kit. I feel like it instantly makes me a better drummer? Anyways, we recorded practice. It's sort of inaudible really, but its up on our bandcamp if anyone wants to check it out:

Other fun adventures today included a trip to petsmart, where i got piston a new dog bed (he loves to sleep, you know), a late night rashed's burger chow down, and a brief stop in at the Chisholms for a keg party before work at 11pm.

I feel fulfilled.

oh. oh. oh.

I just made it back from a week-long trip to the states. Eviction Party (yes, that band i was in in 2006 or something) have been playing these days, picking up momentum really, and have even released a new tape. It's all very bizarre and exciting, and todi and i are both dreamers, so it works out well.

It was such a great time. I met so many new friends and had an amazing time with everyone. I miss them all already, and i can't wait to plan our tour with Rubrics next summer.

It's really starting to feel like winter's over. While i was away there was a huge snowstorm here, but the snow's long been melted away, and the past two days have been almost tshirt weather.

I feel like I may have really jumped the gun on my garden this year. Two days of pre-mature mid-twenty degree weather found my seeds tucked away neatly in their nests of soil, and now the plants are almost three inches tall. I'm hoping they wont suffocate in their little trays before i can get them planted outside in the garden.

On the menu for this summers garden so far is: candy cane beets, golden beets, leeks, cucs, zucs, parsnips, chard, kale, and likely a few other greens further down the road. I also started some nasturtium seeds, which is exciting. They're lovely little edible flowers, and i've never grown them before.

Ellen got back to PEI from out west today. i can't believe it's been almost a year since i've seen her! oh my. It's nice to have her back. their cabin is looking amazing, and is very cozy. I also went and checked on my cabin, and it's doing very well also, much to my surprise. All the mouse traps are empty, and other than some yard cleanup, and it's great shape. I'm hoping to get a lot of work done out there this summer, but then again i said that last summer, so i guess we'll just have to see.

I'm still not sure if i'm going to keep my room in town this summer either. I love the idea of being out at the cabin, but, i really like the house and i don't want to lose that either. I think a lot of it will depend on where relationships go. Things with matt, things with ellen and pat, bands... where i seem to be spending most of my time. I dunno. I'm always so confused.
