so travis and i still don't have a band name yet. that's probably the most difficult thing about this new band. oh well. we've been busy working on new songs for pre-production to begin on sunday. we've got a whopping 5 songs for our producer to have a listen to. if all goes well, we could be recording by january. now i just have to find a way to finance the recording as well as pay a mortgage. roommates? any takers? come on chris, i'm counting on you buddy...

i can't wait to build my own recording studio in my basement. i can't wait to move into my own home. the whole idea of owning my own home is ludicrous, but liberating at the same time. i'm proud and i'm poor. how the hell am i going to do this? i won't be going out and being social for quite some time. i guess i'll be hosting the parties at my place, but you have to supply the alcohol.

i went to the casino with my fellow coast mtn. icecreamers. darren won 100 bucks. i didn't win anything because i didn't gamble. i didn't gamble because i couldn't figure out how the fucking slot machine works. i was ok with that though. i only had 25 cents i wanted to throw away. i find the idea of gambling to be disgusting. put a bunch of drunken twats in a room and tell them to throw their hard-earned money at each other. i was one of those drunk people last night, and i proved i couldn't hit a broad side of a barn with my lowly quarter. woof.

oh yeah! thanks heidi for taking the cool photo of me! finally i can look good without any sort of photoshop enhancing! ;)

what a tiring but relaxing past few days its been. on friday i went out with a few lads from work and sorted out my hockey pool. i made a few good picks and a few poor choices. oh well. as long as i don't come in last, that's all i care about.

after, darren, newt, evan, and corry went to good times cabaret. what a classy establishment. i'm just really glad that candice came a little bit later so i didn't feel so gross. somebody fun to dance with! afterwards i went back to darren's place and crashed there until last night - until darren had his birthday celebration. travis thinks i'm a professional drinker. i'm starting to think he's right. woof.

happy thanksgiving to everyone.

why am i so sweaty? it must be all that headbanging...

ahhh yes. i love this time of year. the colour of the trees and the crisp air make me feel really good. it makes work enjoyable, believe it or not. today i was offered the opportunity to go to bcit to attain my milk pasturization ticket. it's an eight day program in january (fully paid for - wages and program costs) that will probably mean another wage increase in the next six months. it will also look fantastic on a resume if i decide in the future to find another job in the dairy industry. it's nice to know that my company feels confident in me to invest in me and my future there.

lindsay's boyfriend rob bought my old car last night. it felt weird. i experienced so many firsts with that car. a lot of you reading this blog will know of most of them. tracy and i randomly going to kelowna, krista and i putting mcdonalds bibs around the headrests, the countless parties i would drive to, i think one of my first kisses was in that car, my first car accident, and a few unmentionables. however the hardest part about selling the car was the fact that my nanna gave it to me. *sigh*
