brit pop







Which Britpop Band Are You?




You are Suede. Youre quite introverted and reserved. You dont like to draw attention to yourself, which is a shame, as youre very talented and unique. You enjoy film and literature for the glamorous characters and plot lines, which means you can sometimes be a bit of a romantic.

I don't think this is right. I am going to try again until I get Oasis. Except I don't really want to be like Oasis. They are kind of jerks. But than so I am. And the suede thing goes awry with the "you don't like to draw attention to yourself," well what can you do.







Which Britpop Band Are You?




You are Oasis. Youre mad fer it, man! Youre talented and confident, albeit sometimes too much so and people tend to see you as arrogant. You have a tendency to get too mouthy or aggressive for people to handle, but you dont care what people think whatever you do, you do for fun. If people dont like it, they can fook off!

yes! I am the best!

Also apparently Daniel Craig is pushing for the next Bond movie to have some sweet dude on dude action. I totally called that. I saw it coming. I mean you can kind of say there are lots of pretty gay moments in the new Bond. The whole naked beating. The use of the word fabulous. Even from the beginning when the dude says he's bent. Anyway, that's exciting.

one fine day

This is some of my lovely school chums. On day two of our shoot. Look at all the fun we are having.

you were so cool you could have put out vietnam.

My tendency to hyper focus on the banal details of pop culture I realize basically puts me down to a lowly rank of fangirl. I don't have many dark secret obsessions because I have absolutely no control over wanting to tell everyone about the witty thing Noel Gallagher said on Russell Brand or the history of the Mr. Show. If you see me smiling on the street I am in full day dream mode and I will spend hours on end wasting the day away google imaging pictures of absolutely ludicrous people.

This obviously is not a surprise to anyone who knows me. I go into it like a routine to avoid any other conversations that might be deep or confrontational or unhappy or just silences. Don't call me on this I have no idea what I will resort to if that happens. Seriously. I may just start dancing like Conan O'brien or, god, quote the Simpson or something on a relatively provincial level for my talents to absorb asinine quotes.

Any way this is one of those facets of my hyper focusing.



If you think it is tiresome for you imagine what it must be like for me. Actually I quite like the distraction, I just hate the awareness of it.

This is a still from the film The Mother. Which is this oddly compelling and yet horrifying film. It's one of those films in the end where you ask yourself, "so which character did I really like or which character was the bad guy and who is the victim or why did all these things happen and you just can't figure it out?" Because they are all horrible and they are all pathetic and they all make you uncomfortable about living. Well, make me uncomfortable because I hate confronting ideas of the fallacy and the impermanence of life. Why can't things just be flashy and distracting?

Also Daniel Craig is much more attractive as a blond than a brunette. God, why do I do that?!

i declare today that life is simply taking and not giving england is mine and it owes me a living



random things.


30 rock is on thursday now after the office. It is very very good.

I find it really funny that british people refer to masturbating as to abuse oneself.
or when russell brand used a vacuum to help him get off he was 'abusing henry the hoover.'

i have seen the new bond movie twice. sunday and tuesday when it came out on friday. and i would probably go see it again. that's how stunningly attractive i find this daniel craig character.

I got dinged in the head by a Nib when i was walking in front of the A&W at park lane. It must have been from quite high up because it really hurt but it was also funny. I am just glad I didn't take it in the eye or my mouth where it could have lodged in my throat and I could have died. I should have grabbed my eye and gone down that would have scared those pranksters. Or the Nib fairie, raining nibs down on her victims.

Rev Camden on Seventh Heaven's heart condition has worsened. He'll need some sort of miracle to save him.

Studio 60 is a equivalent to Seventh Heaven in it's like a car wreck of a TV show. So preachy and hypocritical.

I love all the random times last night some one brought up the Mighty Boosh, to me or near me and so I could jabber on about it with wild gestures. I want to learn the words to the tundra rap. My favorite episode so far is Nanageddon cos the guy from the IT crowd is in it and cos Naboo is featured so much in it.

Oh and this chicken noodle soup dance is madness. Complete madness but fun to do at Charlie's after last call with Thornhill.

NO ONE SUSPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION

I bought a backpack at MEC last September. A couple of weeks ago the zipper broke. I returned it and got the same backpack, which is more expensive because it has some new features and actually made 43 cents. I am way too old to be excited about a new backpack, but I am. I can't wait to show it off at school tomorrow. Look at me with my stylish blue backpack. I am so much more sophisticated now that I have a blue backpack.

So many expectations for tomorrow now.

New bond movie. Wanktastistic. The only way it could be hotter is if he made out with a couple of dudes. Which he has in my mind. The next bond should definitely enjoy the company of males as well as females. It would leave room for so much betrayal and plot twists. Plus he is very sort of well kept already, and he does have a sort of hyper masculinity that can only be making up for something else. Something secretive and hidden and little bit naughty. Already in the latest flick there were a few pretty big allusions to it.

At the end of the day I would tax Daniel Craig. I think that is obvious though.

am i still ill?

Last night I was walking to the NSLC Ceilidh and realized my ticket no longer in my pocket. I had spaced out and lost it somewhere between my house and the commons. It cost 45 bucks so I was like "Nooooooo!"

It was heartbreaking. I searched up and down the street. I went down Robie and it was so windy and damp. Though it is fantastically warm out. So I searched up one side the street and than on just a hope the other. I saw a piece of paper on the side walk. The ticket is quite large. And My heart raced. It was not it. Of course it wasn't. It was hopeless.

I took a few steps down the street and looked and saw a piece of paper in the gutter by the median. I had to check it out. I watched it as all these cars barrelled passed thinking there no way this is it. I crossed slowly and the NSLC logo came into focus. I felt like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, only it was Maggie and the Boozery. I clutched it all the way to the World Trade and Convention Center and finally thought maybe there is a god. Does that qualify as a miracle. I have to take this as a sign and start being nicer to strangers and so on. I've turned over a new leaf. I also was sort of hesitant to go and than when I lost the ticket I realized how much I wanted to go. It's close to a parable. It could be in the bible.

these could be the best days of our lives but i don't think we've been living very wise

































So I lived the dream. I danced on stage while dan aykroyd sang it up. They were grabbing ladies to go on stage and I was like this is going to be me. I won't go on stage for a dropkick murphy's show because that is degrading but for danny a. well i could not resist. So I just stood at the front of the stage laughing and running on the spot trying to emulate the great dances of the blues brothers. I surveyed people after and the results are in I am great. Although I am pretty sure they were not about to say you made an ass out of yourself out there. They probably thought that was intended.

Now on to more pressing issues. Why are there so many biographies about Everybody Loves Raymond. Shouldn't there be a bunch a shows about the war. It is A&E. Isn't that what A&E does?

A&E you have failed us. I will watch cartoons all day in response.

more meat more heat

Is it wrong that I have to make a conscious effort to not post pics of noel gallagher on this blog because I seem to want to do it so frequently. I know this will pass soon. But he keeps being so stupidly cute.

Man. I can't stop. And it kind of worries me because when I get famous and awesome and he wants to court me this will inevitable show up to prove I am a psycho. Well chances are he will never figure out how to use the internet.

God why should I even try to fight it. I know I am weak willed that's why I can't stop eating donairs, or donair pizza, or the delicious donair sub. so elusive.


you'll be right here in my arms (MY EPIC DREAM)


So I slept for close to 12 hours last night and my dream got to a point where it was oddly coherent yet still fantastically weird.

I dreamed one of my teachers took our class out into this field. Probably the on Purcell's Cove rd. or something. Across from the field there was this bar that seemed very appropriate for it's location. It was sort of wood cabin esque. It looked a lot like a biker bar from the movies. But in the bar the band HIM was playing. And I was like that is kind of cool. But we had these exercises our teacher was making us do. Maybe it was team bonding or ice breakers or maybe it was some sort of hippy dippy shit. And being the team player that I am I decided to stick around. However, I said, "If they start playing wicked games, I have to go check them out."

Sure enough Wicked Games comes on. And it is very distinctly playing. So i cross the road and enter. Some friends of mine are there but mostly people seem disinterested in the band and they mill about. I stand in the front. The song ends the band says good night and I realize my friend Adam is not there. And he really likes HIM. So I go searching for a pen and paper to get an autograph. I am sort of hesitant to get an autograph cos it seems like sort of a weird conversation to have with some one. I finally get it together and some one points me in the direction of their car. Which is this old boxy station wagon. VW sort of, maybe a Vista Cruza. Just a really large station wagon. I am coming close to the car when the lead singer gets in and they drive off down the highway I try to catch them but they are gone and i end up just yelling "Finland!" Into the night. Suddenly the car is coming back quickly down the highway and as they pass I yell "Tsunami," and realize that is wrong so I yell, "Sumi." Or whatever is printed on the Finland hockey jerseys. They keep going. Not swayed by my little amount of Finish.

I went back in the bar defeated. I had missed my chance and all because of my pride but than some one told me they had come back. Well I had learned my lesson. So I went out to the car. The lead singer was gone but a few members were there and asked them for an autograph for my friends Adam.

Than some how I was in their car. And they were driving me somewhere. I was trying to convince the guy I was sitting by of my finish heritage. And so I took my pen and tried to write Kuusisto on his arm. I got the KUU written but than he wrenched it away from me. And said, "I don't care." Not necessarily nastily but not pleasantly either.

We were driving along and I looked out the window and it was somewhat snowy and there were people ice skating on a lake. "That is not safe," I say. And soon there after i see some fall into a slushy bit. We stop by the side of the road and start heading down this path. I see camping gear splayed out everywhere. I am told "Those are the brother's things." I asked if we are going to see the Dudeson's but I get no clear response. We end up climbing up trees and walking across bars really high up. It's like a forest jungle gym.

This is where I woke up. There was a first half of my dream as well that involved my friend Christine getting a new apartment.
I dont know where this all came from. I was pretty hung over. God I hate being hung over. Yet I keeps ons drinkins.

So I am going to try and see Dan Aykroyd tomorrow at the Marquee. I imagine lots of people are going. Are they?

can't turn a ho into a housewife hos don't act right


(Me and Daniel Craig. We are not ashamed of our hot love!)


How is Lady Sovereign gonna do in the Americas? Well she break it? I like her new CD. I saw her this summer in Toronto and I thought she was fantastic.

I was talking to this women, probably in her late 40s, maybe 50s and she is very sweet and nice. But than she started saying these racist things. Not horribly racist things, just average racist things. You know. And i was like, "ahhhhhhhh?" This is awkward because she does not mean any harm by her ways. She's just racist.

I ran away.

if we can't smoke it than beat it to death





















Russell Brand is moving to bbc Radio 2. So all of you who were not listening to him on bbc radio 6 now you can not listen to him on radio 2. Apparently he was the highest downloaded podcast on bbc ever. I like to think I did my part.

I had a thought the other day.
Ready?
So now that I am 24 I've become only too old for things I will never be too young for anything. I mean I am probably too young to date any one over 41 or 55, I can't quite figure out the math. That's it. Right now I am too old to not have a job. Not have a drivers license. Too old to be living with my parents. Too old to get so trashed I can't remember anything. Well, I can remember things sorta hazily. My body tells me I can't handle this, I don't even have to think hard about that. It's when I am cringing and heaving in my bed the next morning I am alerted to this truth.

Well it has not gotten me down and out yet. Caffeine is a great equalizer. Or the amount of sugar I put in my tea. I said once, "Imagine you were giving tea to a small child. That is how I want my tea." It still had too much tea and not enough sugar and milk. I drank it anyway.
