i was supposed to be in my hometown today... but as i'm not, i'll say a hello to stony plain. it's a small farming town of about 7,000 people (only about 5,000) when i lived there but for some reason - most people i come in contact with know the name. part of that reason might be that through work i know a lot of musicians and such who tour and who play just about every inch of this country of ours. that and stony apparently has a reputation as a 'party town'. and also there is a country/folk/roots record label called stony plain records - while not in the town it borrows the name.
for a while the town was actually called 'dog rump creek' because of a nearby creek that has a turn in it that apparently looks like, you guessed it, a dog's ass. so glad they changed the name! like anyone wants to say they were born in dog rump. urgh!
this morning as i went off to get my yoga fix i was wearing my david usher 'hey kids' shirt with a black lacey skirt and some killer shoes i bought a few weeks ago. everytime i wear that combo i get compliments! so thank you david... :)
and speaking of david - he's back doing some stuff in toronto... yey for jodi. he's playing mix 99.9's beachfest again this year. gotta love the fact that the park is basically at the foot of my street (keele/parkside) - makes for a lovely walk home. and there's the roger's cup show this friday and a ctv taping this wednesday. taken all together - these things make for a very good day.that and rock star : inxs is on tonight... tonight is the somewhat lame 'living in the house' show that is supposed to get us all whipped up in a frenzy for the live performance show in tuesdays... the monday show might not even be available in canada this week - the main network in the states has bumped it from it's schedule and has sold it to vh1 to broadcast. oh well. as long at they don't miss with the tuesday - i remain a happy gurl.

i blathered on about it in an earlier blog post.... the main reason i didn't end up going was because my brother ended up taking his family (my 2 adorable niece's and 1 nephew) out of town on a vacation that week. and those little kidlings really make my trips home! so i decided to move the flight dates in order to be in alberta when they were in alberta... :)
