We'll always be girlie girls!!

Hi - does anyone have ideas where I can buy an inexpensive but nice artificial christmas tree?

Thanks

Acrynalin - or something like that?
I am trying to send an email to an artist and trying to explain the shot I like - I like the shot of the girl wearing the pink acrynalin...

My favorite time of the year has finally arrived. Well I also like the very beginning of summer too, but I think I like Fall better. The air is crisp and fresh and invigorating. I absolutely enjoy watching the leaves change color, especially here in Canada - its sooooooooooo beautiful! I went to a few stores after work today and smiled at the fall decorations and wonderful fall smells - pumpkin, cinnamon, tangerine even. I wanted to buy every scented candle and potpouri I could find with that wonderful Autumn smell! I think if I have a daughter, I will name her Autumn. haha, just kidding.

Anyhow, it was a pleasant evening. Oh I almost forgot, it's almost Halloween! Weeeeeeeeee! Looking at all the Halloween decorations made me feel like kid again. I love it! It's the day when freaks fit in, and others dress up pretending to be freaks. I get to listen to Everyday is Like Halloween by Ministry (oh wait I do that anyway's ;-) ) and buy candy apples..mmmmm. Oooh, Candy Apple Martini's is a must this season! And Snoopy, who can forget watching the all time classic "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown". I adore Linus and his blankie.

So, no I didn't do any work right after finishing a day at the office tonight! No sirey. And it felt good :) 

Greetings everyone! I have been so busy with work these days I haven't had time to update my LJ.
I decided to FINALLY try out my new Martini glasses that I bought ages ago. So, I made a chocolate Martini - mmmm. BUT...did I make it wrong?
I put half creme de cacao and half Vodka into a martini shaker (with ice of course), and I did a little shake then poured. it's very yummy...but WOW it's potent.

How do you usually make your Martini's?

I tried to be perfect,
But nothing was worth it,
I don’t believe it makes me real.
I thought it’d be easy,
But no one believes me,
I meant all the things I said.

If you believe it’s in my soul,
I’d say all the words that I know,
Just to see if they wouldnt show,
That I'm trying to let you know,
That I’m better off on my own.

This place is so empty,
My thoughts are so tempting,
I don’t know how it got so bad.
Sometimes it’s so crazy,
that nothing can save me,
But it’s the only thing that I have.

If you believe it's in my soul,
I’d say all the words that I know,
Just to see if they wouldnt show,
That I'm trying to let you know,
That I'm better off on my own.

(On my own!)


I tried to be perfect,
It just wasn't worth it,
Nothing could ever be so wrong.
It’s hard to believe me,
It never gets easy,
I guess I knew that all along.

If you believe it’s in my soul,
I’d say all the words that I know,
Just to see if it would show,
That I'm trying to let you know,
That I’m better off on my own.

Ok, so I'm not a big fan of the band that did this song - but I love THIS one for it's lyrics

Holy crap - I didn't realize how far into the month we are already. Things are gonna get pretty busy soon at work (as it always does when the month comes to an end). I had a neat conversation with an artist today (a graphic designer). I have such a soft spot for artists who don't believe in their work as much as they should. This designer is really good..although most of his work has been for churches and local businesses. So the goal is to get him some high-end clients. National. I offered to write his bio, so I have a feeling this week I'm going to be doing a lot of work from home.

Tonight - Super Nova! Yes that's right, I have fallen victim to watching this "reality" tv show. It makes for a fun convo at work though, heh. There are 2 performers I really like...Lucas and Delana.
Delana reminds me of a female Leonard Cohen, with her deep sultry vocals..Lucas on the other hand proved to the world that he's got a bit of range to his singing voice.

This weekend - was pretty cool. I got together with an old friend I haven't seen in a long time and we went to see World Trade center - the movie. At first I was torn about whether or not I should see the movie, because it was a "hollywood" film. But I went and I am glad I saw it. I do think however it was a bit too soon to release such a film, because usually films about true tragedies come out at least a few years after the fact. Rwanda, however was an exception. And there may be others, but I decided to see this film because I hadn't heard about the story of the Port Authority Police Officers stuck and later rescued at ground zero. The movie had a happy ending (as most successful hollywood movies), but it was inspiring to watch these people who had so much courage. Again, I do think it may have been too early to release this film, because the threat of terrorism is still alive today, and just because this film had a some-what happy ending (with the rescued men), it doesn't mean that we are way past the tragedy. It does however, remind me that there are some good people left in this world.

** and now time to eat yummy salmon and rice for dinner :D

I think Criss Angel is Hot! And now my colleagues are laughing :P

grrrrrrrr - my eye glasses broke in the middle of the frame (that rests on the bridge of my nose).

I tryed to tape them in the middle, but even a nerd out of a movie looks better than the job I did.

There's no way I'm going to work tomorrow with my glasses like this, and I have this terrible feeling that if I order glasses it will take at least a week because my lenses are made for my stigmatism (spelling)...grrrrrr. Does anyone have any advice? :(( My contacts aren't exactly comfty to wear all day, and I'm willing to see an eye dr tomorrow...but who?

To top it off, I was going to do a lot of work at the office since were on deadline. meeeeeh

I'm so excited about Joy Division this weekend at Panic. :))

I love my job, but it feels like if you miss one day the rest of the month is hard to catch up with. I work a lot though, because I enjoy what I do. Tonight I worked on some hand-stamped cards. I owe cards as payment to my colleague for driving me to the subway after work. Finally I'm done. I decided to make several summer-line cards, and hopefully it will be enough for last month and this month and mabye next month too LOL (the deal is I pay him 2 cards a month in exchange for a lift to the subway each day after work). My ankle hurts, and I feel like I should do some work in preperation for tomorrow. I'm tored though. I really hope my ankle feels better for Panic this weekend. I will definitely go, but I will not be dancing as much as I'd like to :(

Every time I see that commercial for Tim Horton's Strawberry Tarts I want one!

I spent the whole day yesterday trying to remove these annoying pop-ups - one titled ULwindow seek and one titled ULwindowURL. They pop up every 15 minutes and trys to get me to update my PC with their anti-virus program. Anyways, I have looked at many forums and it looks like a LOT of people have been having this similar problem.

Can anyone help me to finally get rid of these annoying pop-ups? I have tried ewido anti-malware and ran a HjT report - deleted a few things, but still...the problem persists. :(
PS - this is on my home PC

Football or Television poker, what would you choose?

Ok, I'm starting to get really stressed now with NXNE coming up..and a new month starting at work. Last month I did good at work, so this month I have to at least come out good if not better. The NXNE is what's really frustrating me though...my bands are great, they have all been good to work with so far..but my Assistant Stage Manager has gone AWOL. The thing is, we had worked together last year, and she wanted a more "leadership" type role this year...and since we got along well, I made her my Asst. Stage Mgr. Well, the "excitment" and "self startness" <-- I don't even know if that's a real word...has seemed to fizzle out. She hasn't been getting back to my recent emails asking for her help, and she didn't show up at this mandatory meeting nxne had yesterday. Fact of the matter is..a little help would be nice right now because the pressure is on at work, my REAL job..the one that pays the rent. I guess I'm a little bitter about the "volunteering so many hours" part now because as "payment" for the extra hrs we put in as Stage Managers, we get a Lamenant Badge that allows us into the conferences. Well, seeing that I work durring the day on Thursday and Friday, and that I have no real reason to go to the conference (I dont work with bands anymore) I asked if I could tranfer my badge to someone else I know who is in a band. And the answer was no. Grrr...so basically I am getting no payment. Meeeeh. Well just the reward of being part of an event that means so much to the independent music scene grrr.

my work is in the middle of freaking NO WHERE and we have NO SUGAR!!!!

I need my coffee...I am so close to reaching my BONUS and I poured some coffee...but there's no sugar. I can not function without Coffee and I hate coffee with no sugar (worse is black coffee). And the nearest store is a 20 minute walk away!!!!!!!!

In desperate need of a great night out :)

Rogers...grrr....I'm on the phone with them right now trying to figure out what's going on ....my digital box is wonky and they were going to send someone today before 11am, but no one showed up.

I got my bill for phone/internet/cable..and it came to $200! There was no activation fee, but it looks like that's how much my bill will be roughly each month. Does that sound normal?
