But he don't, but he don't, he just don't.

Updates:

1) Feist was a great show! I had such a good time. It was great to see Hayden too, who's been on of my favourites since I was 18 years old. I hope he does his own tour sometime soon. His stage setup was just a mish-mash of instruments on the stage with a carpet underneath that had a garage-ish feel. Cool.

Feist was fabulous. I think the highlight song for me was the closer of "Sea Lion Woman". That woman can rock it out. She also managed to incorporate my favourite four things (stars, hearts, flowers, and birds) into her show. Anyway, it was a super fun time.

2) My new favourite word is blerg. Thanks 30 Rock!

3) So there was like some election or something last night... Joking. I didn't get to watch as much of it as I would have like because I had to help out with our school's open house. (Who was the silly person who set that date?) Blerg! However, I had a pretty fun time at the open house where my work spouse and I did some flashy science demos. My hair smelled like burnt gummy bears on my way home.

The US election was pretty inspirational. I wish we could have a charismatic leader in Canada. That would be something, eh?

4) Today I was volun-forced to go to a really boring workshop. I could have been at work getting work done instead. Blerg!

5) This kid made the comment last night that "Ms. W doesn't need chemicals to be on fire!" That was nice. :)

6) I downloaded some songs by Kim Barlow, who is a singer-songwriter from the Yukon that I saw as part of the Pan-Canadian Folk Ensemble a few weeks ago. She's fun. My fave tracks are "But He Don't", "Great White Nothing" and "Dancehall". Great stuff. I think I'm becoming a complete folkster (new term, just invented it). The last three concerts that I went to (Folk Ensemble, Great Lake Swimmers, Feist) are sometimes classified as folk music by iTunes, so maybe I need to become more crunchy-granola?

7) One day I'm going to write an actual post about one thing and not just a list of randomness. I swear. I find at this time of year my brain is complete mush. Blerg.

8) The weather has been crazy warm the past couple of days.

9) Are you aware of the phenomenon of pregnancy brain? Basically, when you are pregnant, like my dear work spouse, your brain gets a little bit mushy. This caused her to bring us to see the Sound of Music when we were supposed to see A Chorus Line. Well, she ended up breaking all three photocopiers at work because she put in the wrong kind of overheads. When she told me the story, my first reaction was "What? Did you break the good one?" and her reply was "Yup, and the other two as well." Last night we witnessed some people panicking over the situation and had to try so hard not to laugh. I'm sure there was mass chaos today at school. So maybe that boring-ass workshop was a blessing in disguise.

10) I hate when I have to decide whether or not to take a risk. I tend to play it safe when it comes to most things in life, but there might be something happening where I'll have to put something out there, and I'm not sure if it'll go my way. However, I have this nagging feeling that if I leave things as they are in the interest of playing it safe, I could possibly regret in the future. Trust me, what I'm babbling about right now isn't overly deep or anything, but I just need to vent. Blerg.

Oh yeah, and new 30 Rock tomorrow. I hope Liz Lemon says blerg!

ps How many times did I say blerg in this post?

I am going to use the word "volun-forced" a ton from now on.
