Tomorrow I will be spending my day writing exams. So, having summarized the way my Sunday will be, I will do my weekend post in reverse chronological order.
I just got home from a Christine Fellows concert that I went to with Becca T and a couple of her friends. It was great. Not only does she have a quality first name, she's a fabulous artist. If you're into alterna-folk type music, you would really like her.
It was a really small show at the Rivoli and I really wish I'd remembered to bring my camera so I could post some pictures but unfortunatley, I am that forgetful. The show was unique because it had a multi-media portion; there was an artist who used an overhead projector and put up transparencies of work that illustrated the songs. It was a great show, and I think she's playing in Winnipeg on June 8th (hint hint to my Winnipeg reader).
(Insert sadness here - there's going to be a whole "From the 'Peg" festival at the Harbourfont in July. This will include The Weakerthans and Christine Fellows and a whole host of other cool artists, I'm sure. Guess who will be in England then? Gah. Could they not have scheduled this just a couple of days earlier so I could go? *sob*)
Back to the weekend... I managed to make the show after having dinner with my friend Flora in Whitby. She has her old English/History friends from teachers' college over each June for dinner and I get invited even though I'm a science girl. It was pretty fun, and I was rather sad I had to leave early, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do to make her shows.
Friday night Becca T and I went to see The Break Up with Vaughniston or Vinnifer if you will. There were a few laughs, but I'd say it's a renter.
I saw a preview for the movie Snakes On A Plane and I kind of want to see it. It just makes me laugh too hard that they decided to make a movie about snakes on a plane and then decided to call it Snakes On A Plane. Bonus laugh: I guess there's a line from the movie that goes "There are mother-f-ing snakes on this mother-f-ing plane!" This kills me.
Well, that's my weekend in review. I don't really want to go to bed right now because it just means morning will come and I'll have to work all day. Hope the rest of you have much more relaxing Sundays that I will have.

The story about the Snakes on a Plane title is a great one! Google it sometime, and you'll learn how they went back to reshoot some scenes, upped the rating to R, after people on the internet rioted against them changing the name.
Damn the Weakerthans! They NEVER play here, yet they'll play there to celebrate here... boo.
I will have to check out that Christine Fellows :)
well you have just inspired me to see snake on a plane - just for the catch line. I hope the exam writing goes quickly and doesn't ruin the whole sunday. If it helps - these are the last ons for this school year:)
"Not only does she have a quality first name, she's a fabulous artist."
the quality first name comment cracked me up... cause it is a great first name, but i think moreso because you used the word 'quality' instead of good, or great, or any other word that would be normally used to describe something ummmm... good.
good luck on writing your exams. it'll be over soon!
I heard that the studio tried to change the name of Snakes on a Plane and Samuel L threatened to pull off of the movie. What a great name!
Scott
lol, I think I heard that the movie Snakes on a Plane was originally a book by the same title, and I also heard the story of the movie studio wanting to change the name, as mentioned above. :) I also saw the preview for the movie when I saw X-Men 3 this past week, and it does look like a "quality" movie to see. :p
p.s. I bought the Neko Case album based off your recommendation, and I love it, thanks. :) Next up, the Amy Millan cd. :)
I can't believe the made a movie about snakes on a plane and called it snakes on a plane.. Too funny. Some of the background stuff other people added was interesting too. The catch phrase makes me think of a cheesy horror movie from the 80's or something.
I think you should just make up crap for the exams. That'll really get em thinking. Plus they would be a lot funner to mark. The more creative the answer, the better the mark. Damn I should have become a teacher.
Snakes on a Plane....LOL...golden! :) I don't know if I would see it tho....I would probably think there would be snakes in the theatre :P The Break-Up really does look like a renter.. thanks for the heads up! :)
I don't think you should complain too much about missing the concert this summer....you'll be in England! I'll take your place if you decide not to go!:D
i actually enjoy your choice of words very much. i commend you and your friend for speaking and writing the way you do. i find it very amusing, and i'm sure now your life is complete =].
