Only 2 more work days until folk fest!!! I am very excited AND an extra day this year with ELVIS COSTELLO! Today I am going to go shopping for food, and start baking and cooking for my 5 days of upcoming bliss. 

Another piece of exciting news, moving to the west is starting to feel real. I've started to look for places to live. Exciting stuff! Bye Winnipeg in September.

The Gang Gives Back!

Dear Blog,

I guess it has been a while. Busy busy, you know? Not really. 

I've moved and that was, well... annoying at best.  Left a really great situation on to a mediocre one.  Not that it is bad, just very different.  A lot of idle time, but it may be healthy to not be continuously stimulated and distracted. But it sure can be boring and leave one feeling left out or unwelcome.  There is a goal here; saving for a better something. So I suppose a little sacrifice for a larger gain? Just too bad it happens right at the turn of the season.  The best season.  A season where friends are planning road trips again.  Should I?

Ahhh... such a vague post.

Seriously... where has April gone? So much to do and so little time.

I guess tonight I'll watch 'Skins' with Matt and Molly instead of doing all the stuff I have to accomplish by next Friday.

"YOU GUYS THE BASEMENT IS FLOODING!"

Fuck...

A pipe burst in the heated floors in the sun-room, which none of us knew we had. The tiles in the sun-room came off the ground and the water was rushing out from underneath very fast. The aftermath is Lisa's bedroom in the living room, Jill's bedroom in the dining room and a serious stink throughout the house. 

The cleanup began at 11PM yesterday. It was funny at first, then it got really tiring. 

Now I cannot wait to be out of this house. Seems the plan may be to move back to mom & dads, which will seriously cripple my summer because of the location, but I have to save up some big cash for the big move in the fall.

Thanks to a tip, I scored today at Liquidation World of all places. They have 4 racks of 75% off Urban Outfitters clothes that were salvaged from a fire apparently. You have to dig, but I dug and it was worth it.

A letter in the mail today addressed to me from the University informed me that I will in-fact, NOT be graduating this spring. Due to 1.5 credit hours being uncountable? So I guess it's back to the books this spring, one last time, to graduate in the fall. Dang. Oh, well.

I took my car in today to get something fixed and got a 'shuttle' ride home from the dealership. It was an odd ride. A mini-van full of adults getting a ride from an older man. I smiled.

Something to look forward to!

Just a few choice pics from this years Winnipeg Folk Fest.
