old white lincoln.

i like to think this song is about me. haha. do you ever hear songs like that?




anyway.

tyler got a new modem from shaw cable for free. it is supposed to be way faster. problem is... we can't even get it to connect. tyler fiddled around with it all last night trying to get it to work. and he tried calling shaw this morning to get them to figure it out... but he was put on hold, and had to go to work. i tried getting it to work when i got up... to no avail. and back in went the old modem. i don't even care. i just want to actually get online!! sheesh.

i have been devouring cherries the last 2 weeks. i got some from the farmer's market from a certified organic farm in oyama... and oh my they are delicious. so dark red they are just about black, big and juicy. so delicious. they could make any bad day just melt away.

speaking of bad days... i have been having some of those thanks to work. i've been extremely frustrated. not really worth getting into... but the jist of it is that i feel excluded from, well, everything. i'm just like the person who comes in to fill in for things while everyone else is included in big important things that the station does. i think it is time to start putting together my demo and looking around for what is out there. find out what kind of job i can even get. i saw one online yesterday that was for afternoons/music director. which is basically my dream job... but it was in peterborough, ontario. which, in case you were wondering, is NOT my dream location. haha. i really hope i can find something in a good location where i will want to stay. most people when they go to school for radio, get out of school and work in the worst locations. like tiny tiny towns in saskatchewan, or manitoba, or alberta... or, worst of all, prince george. i do NOT want to live in prince george.

aside from all that... i have been making feather goodies like a villain. i've been doing the farmer's market. the last two mondays i made over $200. which i can't really complain about. this monday i wore a tube top to try and minimize the tan lines i would get from sitting out there for 4 hours. not such a brilliant idea. it wouldn't have been so bad if the sun was behind me... but it was in front of me. i have a very straight line tan line across my chest. haha. i guess i'll just have to go to the beach more to get rid of it! darn. haha.

i am preparing madly for my trip to europe. trying to scrape together the last of our money. the farmer's market has helped with that... giving us money to live on. haha. we still need to buy backpacks. tyler has been seriously hounding me about needing a new camera. and it's true... our camera is not that great. but he wants to buy a big slr. which... are a) expensive and b) don't you think its a little dangerous to be backpacking with one of those? PLUS... neither of us know how to use one. neither of us are fantastic photographers. i think our camera will just have to suffice.

annnnnd... i have made the best mix that i have been listening to solid for the last few weeks. i am going to mail doug a copy of my july playlist (2 cd's) and this other mix i have been listening to... which i guess could very well be august... anyone else want copies? send me your address!!!
