echelon mission: accomplished
Category: music
Stormed Toronto Wednesday night to see, you guessed it, 30STM, again. I love those guys so much, it's always a rockin good time at their shows. I think this makes show 7 this year? Didn't do any stalking this round because we had to truck back home after the show. Not to mention Kool Haus is right on the harbor so the whole place smelled like bad fish. Gross. New user sound clip from a live acoustic set. Ciao.

Thats awesome. I had no idea they where going to toronto. I really have to find a way to keep up with who is going to Toronto. I will admit you are the Queen of the Estrip Concert Scene You have seen them more times I think in one year then I have seen Metallica (my favorite band of all Time, ) in concert total and that is impressive. Question for ya I know limewire has acustic versions of there songs (good stuff) but do you know if they have a CD with the acustic song versions?

save the pies
Category: fire
Sunday I had to work. We were having the annual Thanksgiving dinner for our international students. I was in charge of the pies, pumpkin and pecan, as well as the sweet potato casserole. The object was to let our students participate in the making of the dinner and then partake in the traditional meal. Sounds like fun eh?

Things were coming along nicely. I was instructing several different students on how to make the pie crusts, the fillings and constantly reassuring others that while sweet potatoes may LOOK like boiled carrots, and they are in fact not.

Apparently cleaning staff are responsible for the kitchen in Campion Hall. Clearly they haven't cleaned the ovens since WWI. Just as I put the pecan pies in the oven, flames erupted.

Grease fire. Hello. People were screaming. I was yelling, "SAVE THE PIES!" followed by "GET ME A FIRE EXTINGUISHER"! Like my priorities? Needless to say pecan pie goo was sloshed all over in an attempt to save them. Then I have to put the fire out amidst the screams and running.

Alarms went off, we had to evacuate. Firemen came, the whole nine-yards. I was a little nerved by the police officer taking my statement. They actually made it seem like I was at fault for USING the fire extinguisher. I guess they'd rather the joint burnt down?

Anyhow, that was my entertaining Thanksgiving dinner story, one all of our students will remember forever.

ciao!

Oh the horror! SAVE THE PIES! SAVE THE PIES!.. I could see that one... I'm no cook/ chef baker .. but i don't recommend using a fire extinguisher to cool pies.. nor make a cool whip topping out of em' either...LOL

Did you get footage film?

i am where i should be
Category: the future
My bosses dig me. I work hard because I love what I do and in return they offer me their wisdom and more responsibility. Yesterday I was asked to entertain two different visiting guests. One from our London Metropolitan school and one from the Bejing center. It was so refreshing to talk to young people in the field I want to work in. I really made some connections with them, not to mention networking. My future is so bright, I gotta wear shades.

I'm glad to hear thigs are going well for you. There is saying that goes something like "If you work at something you love you never work a day in your life" I really don't like sayings to much but that one is really true .
