Freezing!

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Winter is coming fast.  The nights are getting colder and colder!  I can tell, as the heat isn’t on in my new place yet, and I’ve got several old, large, single pane windows right by my bed!   BRRR.   I need to invest in a heavy blanket soon as the sheet I’ve got just [...]

Getting a Flu?

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Since Monday I’ve been feeling totally under the weather.  Like when I wake up, and even after a few coffees, and I still have that overslept kinda grogginess going on.  I’m assume its the onset of some sort of flu, after talking with a few friends who said that was going around.
Seasons changing leads to [...]

Rainy Tuesday…

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

I’m sitting in my room, looking out at the rainy streets outside. Digging my new digs. I really got lucky with this place! Such a cool location.
Went to the Mates of State show last night, and it was totally awesome. A band whose name escapes me, opened up. Wasn’t sure [...]

CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada seeks new anthem!

Monday, August 4th, 2008

I just recently found out that the old Hockey Night in Canada anthem CBC used is being discontinued.  They are currently on the hunt for a new jingle/anthem!
How did I find this out?  A guy I knew back in highschool, great guitar player, Aaron Bales, has submitted an entry for a contest CBC is holding [...]

First Night in the New Room

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Last night was my first night in the new room.  My room isn’t furnished very well, as I haven’t had a chance to arrange the pickup of my furniture from the warehouse yet.   I borrowed an air mattress and a folding chair from a friend yesterday, and that helped a little.
The air mattress seems to [...]

I’ve landed an apartment!

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Well, a room in a house.. shared with a couple other people.  But hey, its in a great location!  Basically right on College street at Havelock.  Sweet neighbourhood.  I’ll probably move in this weekend some time, bring Kitty with me and get him used to the spot.
He’s not getting along well with the dog here [...]

Life on a Couch…

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

So I’m still scrambling around trying to find an apartment.  Sudden evictions really are a bummer.   At first I figured what with almost half a month I’d have no problem finding a new place by now, but the reality has been a lot different!
My sister has been nice and has let me stay a few [...]

Evicted!

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

I came home Thursday night and the locks on the door had been changed, an eviction notice hung.  Apparently the guy I was subletting from hadn’t been paying rent.  Not only that, but he was subletting to me and others illegally anyway.
I mean, the place wasn’t the greatest, and seemed like a crazy firetrap, but [...]
