go see future rock goddess robin solowka for free tonight!
Haha, this is such a last minute post. But Queer Cab is tonight! For those of you who are not familiar with Queer Cab. It is a monthly open mic event at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre. My good friend Robin will be performing tonight. She will be playing her acoustic guitar and singing yet another heartfelt song! Trust me, it will be totally majestic!!
the photo album
Wow, so I woke up this morning and saw that I had 12 new messages in my hotmail... I was like wtf... they’re probably all junkmail! But no, 9 of the 12 emails were from Jesse, and I was excited to see all the subject titles were Jesse’s Japan Photos! I guess he didn’t know how to post pictures onto his blog or he just didn’t have the time to, but he asked me to post a few of his pictures up... well, I posted most of his pictures up! The one above is my favorite; it is taken at the Osaka Historical Museum. As for the rest, click on this link to view the album!Jesse, did you know that the “comic” thing on that building is a painting called Masterpiece by Roy Lichtenstein… damn, leave it to the Japanese to include real art on billboards!

film of the moment... Feb 20, 2006
If you want to see a really funny movie full of satires and ironies, go see Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story! The movie follows a group of filmmakers and actors' struggles in trying to create an unfilmable novel: an adaptation of Laurence Sterne’s The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman.By the way, there was a trailer for The Devil and Daniel Johnston before the film... I seriously cannot wait till this film comes out (goddamnit, I have been wanting to see this since last September!)

if winter ends pt. 2... all I ask for is a warm body to keep this winter from killing me.
I don’t know what it is, but I feel this emptiness today. Maybe it is because it looks so nice outside from my window, and I want to walk around downtown or sit outside and read or sketch or something… but in reality, it is actually really cold! I should be really busy right now, finishing off my portfolio, but I’ve just been lazing around so far listening to hours of Bright Eyes and drinking my cold bottle of Havana Club that I left in the trunk of my car overnight. I think Connor Oberst is my medicine/my cure to emptiness, loneliness, sadness, and all emotional illnesses!
it's way too late aka i'm tired and i can't think of a title right now
So, as many of you know, my portfolio interview is coming up soon... actually, it is in less than 48 hours! I am required to design a magazine ad for the School of Design, Graphic Design program at George Brown College. So, after hours of creative block, this is what I have come up with...Please tell me what you think of the design... feel free to give your honest opinions: negative feedbacks and criticisms are welcome because they provide future improvements!
if winter ends...
This is officially the coldest day ever... and for some stupid reasons, my friends and I decided to go to a club – we waited for like 30 minutes in the goddamn cold, and once we got into the club, it took me another 30 minutes to recover (so not worth it!!)
I dreamt of a fever
One that would cure me of this cold, winter set heart
With heat to melt these frozen tears
Burned with reasons as to carry on
Into these twisted months I plunge without a light to follow
But I swear that I would follow anything
If it would just get me out of here
But you get six months to adapt
Then you get two more to leave town
And in the event that you do adapt
We still might not want you around
But I fell for the promise
Of a life with a purpose
But I know that that's impossible now
And so I drink to stay warm
And to kill selected memories
Cause I just can't think anymore about that
Or about her tonight
And I give myself three days to feel better
Or I swear I'm driving off a fucking cliff
Cause if I can't learn make myself feel better
How can I expect anyone else to give a shit?
And I scream for the sunlight
Or a car to take me anywhere
Just get me past this dead and eternal snow
Cause I swear that I'm dying
Slowly but it's happening
And if the perfect spring that's waiting somewhere
Just take me there
Just take me there
Just take me there
And say, and lie to me and say and lie to me and say
It's gonna be all right, it's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right, it's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right, it's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right, it's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right
That pretty much sums up what I felt/thought of the entire day!

jeremy enigk of sunny day recording new solo album... i'm so stoked!!
soruce from www.punknews.org
Jeremy Enigk has announced the impending release of his first solo album in 10 years. The former Sunny Day Real Estate frontman started recording for the album late last year, working with his co-producer Josh Meyers. The recording is expected to wrap up at the end of February with Enigk will be manning the guitar, keyboards and bass for the album while being assisted by several other musicians and a string section. The sound of the album is hinted at being "similar to, but not quite as explosive, as the lush orchestral sounds of Return of the Frog Queen," his last solo outing.
So, you may ask “who the hell is Jeremy Enigk?” Well kids, he is the singer/songwriter for the mid-90s band Sunny Day Real Estate. Their album, Diary is one of the most influential emo records of all time (the others being Hüsker Dü’s Zen Arcade and Jawbreaker’s 24 Hour Revenge Therapy and Dear You). Sunny Day Real Estate “redefined, reintroduced, and recontextualized the word emo for an entirely new generation.” Jeremy Enigk’s vocal style and lyrical content is sincere and heartrending: “He sang desperately about losing himself, about subsuming himself in something greater.” Haha, I’ve got to stop this ranting before it goes out of hand... I wrote a 20-pages long essay for my popular culture class last year on the evolution of emo, so now I think I know everything there's to know about the subject...
