Crap!

ohhh crap....its that time of year...cram time...

also, my new cool word is "assish"

Assish, adv. [ass,-ish.]; to be similar in look or scent to the terrible and stinky body part; the anus, to resemble a bum-hole, to be of the same orientation as the buttocks, to not be of any worth, poor in quality, yucky, terrible, ie: "Man, I just took a video of some flowers for a project, and it looks 'assish'"; "That guy is so ugly, his face is 'assish'".

So thats how i think my non-existant project is coming along...its assish as of this second.

damn procrastination.

as shaun once told me: "Procrastination is like masturbation, ur only f#@*ing yourself in the end!"

!Sephora!

omg....
I went to the Eaton Centre today to checkout the new Sephora...(for u boys, its the most fabulous makeup store EVER!) and i almost died!!! i was in makeup heaven!!

makeup is my weakness.

I was literally smiling ear to ear when i walked into the store, my pulse started racing and i got the jitters....im not joking here people. It was actually embaressing. Due to the short amount of time i had to browse the store however (due to short transfer times between streetcar and subway), i was unable to make a purchase. I need a full day there.

feel free to buy me ANYTHING from there at ANYTIME, for no reason!

ps...my bestest of best friends (1 of 2, sarah) has finally got her own blog! check it out here!

Ottawa (popopo!)

This weekend I went up to Ottawa with my fellow paradosi dancers, to be part of Project Hellas, a big festival they had there. Half of the group didn't dance, but were there for support to the other dancers, and cuz we r a family. Also, I have never seen so much Greek Ass in my life...no joke. We got mooned like at least 5 times (by the boyz).

We car pooled up to Ottawa in a convoy of 5 cars (later joined by a 6th) with walkie-talkies in each of the cars. Well, let me tell you, it was one of the funniest trips i have ever taken. I must thank the Gamma Gamma Gamma fraternaty for all the laughter! We got to the motel/hotel at 3, went for dinner, then came back to the rooms for an AWESOME room party. Lots of booze + 1st time drinkers = lots of laughs.....some key memories: Francine-"Starfish, and close!" and "Louie: Guys, for the 14th time....Where's my CAMERA?!?" (in his pocket of course!).

The next day we went to parliment and took some pics.


To fill up for the upcoming performance, we made a pit stop at subway and left our mark.





After that, we stayed at the theatre that the group was performing at for THE REST OF THE DAY!!! it was pretty brutal cuz they basically locked all of the doors and forced us to stay in a small, hot changeroom for the majority of the time, but honestly, i was stuck with a great group, so it didnt really matter.

On our way home, with the same shenanigans provided by the Gamma Gamma Gammas, the sky greeted us with a display of the Northern Lights...it was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen and very inspiring. I thank those of you who took pictures for me!

What a great weekend!

PS, we r dancing on the 20th of November in Dundas Square for the opening of some festival. I know it's last minute, but everyone should come out and see us. We r getting great coverage with it!

My Birthday Parties! (updated!)

yes, it is that fabulous time of year again friends! MY BIRTHDAY!! wooooooo!

and just to make sure i see each and every one of you, i am scheduling 3 different dates that a party for moi will occur on. yes, you may think that 3 parties is slightly extreme, but, from past experiences, there are never enough excuses to have parties around this time of year AND i know that most of you will be busy with other parties on one or more of the dates. this is also why i am giving you all a FULL month in advance to book off your days at work so i can see all of your butts at my events. with this being said, here are the deets:

Friday, December 3rd: The Frog and Firkin
Time: 10:00pm
Location: Yonge & Shephard
Stuff to know: Bring yourself and anyone else you want and get ready to have a great night of wings and beer!

Saturday, December 11th: Lot 332
Time: 10:30-11pm
Location: 332 Richmond and Peter.
Stuff to know: Again, bring anyone you want, but let me know how many people you will have as I will try to make a guest list. This is also why I have made the time to be there before 11, since thats when most guest lists end. I believe that dress code is in effect. Even if its not, what the heck, dress up! I'm also not sure what cover is as of yet as their website is under construction, but I will update this when I find out. We can assume its $10 though, and if its not, you can buy me a drink with that money! (haha)

Thursday, December 23th: Marche
Time: 7:00pm
Location: 161 Bay St. (BCE place at Union Station). 416-366-8986.
Stuff to know: Bring anyone you want, but I will need to make reservations at least a week ahead, so make sure you tell me!

see you then!

Movie Reviews

As promised, i shall review the last 2 movies i went to go see in theatres!

i heart huckabees:
with an all around amazing cast, including 2 hotties jude law and the hunky mark wallberg (sp?), along with naomi watts, there was much eye candy. the movie was slightly slow paced, but all around funny, not hilarious, but more like dark comedy. i wanted to watch something that would stimulate my mind slightly more than all of the chick flicks i have been watching lately, and this did the trick. i luved it. on a different note, shauny fell asleep for a bit in the beginning, found it kinda weird, but kinda liked it too.
i give it 2 thumbs up.

the grudge:
since this movie was made by the same director of the ring, i was expecting something a bit more scary. somehow, when the entire audience is laughing at some scenes that obviously are not supposed to be funny, that tells me that the movie isn't that scary. i just found some parts to be boring. yes, the constant clicking noise this "monster" makes is slightly annoying/freaky, but its now just another noise that shaun can use to scare me and other ppl!

although there are parts that are suspensful and somthing pops out and scares you, there are also parts that try to play with your mind and freak you out, but neither is done really well. shaun will tell you i was scared however, since his hand really hurt from all the squeezing it had to endure. the only thing this movie has going for it is the element of foreignness. since it is made in japan, it seems slightly more creepy. another factor that makes me feel better about why some things just totally didn't make sense is the fact that there is supposed to be a sequel AND a prequel, which would help to explain alot i think. I would probably go see the others, just to understand it.
1 thumb up i guess.
