why did i sit thought it, i'm not sure - other than it's the industry i work in and that i haven't missed watching (or being at) one since i was about 10 years old. it's kinda a thing i do. however, the show and awards themselves seem to have become increasingly out of touch with music. it's much more about the politics of the labels and now with CTV televising the damn thing - it's much more about the 3 or 4 acts that CTV decides to shove down our throats (not the least of which are from camp canadian idol). whatever, i actually worked through the awards and left it as an annoying backdrop.
one last thing... did the black eyed peas become canadian citizens and i just didn't notice it? why the hell else would they perform at evey canadian event over the last year? (mmva's, the grey cup and now the junos). strange and somewhat annoying. it's almost like how CTV likes to slut it up with the rolling stones and somehow managed to include a pre-recorded clip from them this year.
for the past while, my cat raja graced this page... he still does, but you have to scroll down further. lots has happened since he left us. another kitten has been adopted. we adopted a female kitten, but as she's growing, she developing quite a bit of gear in the back. i think our she is a he. and she's named after a goddess - artemis. if she really is a boy, we'll be calling him neptune. either way - the kitten is cute.
zelda and neptune/artemis in the new apartment
zelda in the old apartment... the new place has NO carpeting - rejoice!
artemis/neptune in box-world (aka my new place)hat else is new... i've moved to a new apartment in a cooler location that i've lived for a few years (or ever, actually). it's a big place and now there are still boxes galore kicking about. boxes and not enough furniture. you know how it goes. best bit... it has a dishwasher. how slothy is it to be able to just rinse dishes and throw them in a box under the counter and not have to see/deal with the dishes until they're clean. quite slothy.
a little side-story about the whole needing to move because i was evicted from the old place. we were told that "tom will be using the apartment". logically, the assumption was made that the landlording-overlords were splitting up and the male portion was moving out. well, guess again. the scummy liars that they are - they evicted us (not quite legally, truth be told) to move tom's business into my old apartment. you see, tom runs a little record label and it all appearances seem to indicate that he can't pay rent at his business location anymore. so they evicted me and my roomie for their stupid little record label. not that i'm bitter or anything - but if anyone out there was thinking of supporting holly cole or kim mitchell - don't. you'll just be supporting the enemy. jerks.
i still have a job... it's quite nice to have that security. i'm bored to tears most days there - but it's a start. for the first month i was actually very entertained. i was able to come up with a project plan, content sketch and site map for the re-vamping of the company's website. the site hasn't had a new design for more than 8 years (i'm certain) and badly needs it. other than that - my job has been pretty dull. it's ok. they pay me. and i have a work laptop. could be worse.
lots and lots of other things have happened - some of them even interesting - but this is what happens when you don't blog every day - you forget the stuff!
here's hoping i'm back sooner than the autumn!
