Hey.
This is a quick note to tell you to go away.
I won't be making another post for likely a full week. Likely not until after Radiohead. (Maybe if I'm bored at the airport, I'll make an iPhone post) I am just a touch busy.
So Friday is my last day of work before my holiday. Friday night, I have a wedding rehearsal, Saturday morning I have a final, Saturday afternoon is the wedding I'm playing at, and Saturday night is the wedding dance. Sunday morning, riding to Edmonton in a friends car... Oh, and a big project at work I'm supposed to have finished by Friday. Sweet.
So I have to study / learn an entire course in 4 days, while learning 4 songs for the wedding, and getting all my ducks in a row before my holiday. Awesome.
So yeah, I won't be wasting much time with any blog posts. I'll catch you on the flipside.

Seatbelts
You should wear them. They protect you in the case of a major car accident.
They are also a kick ass band from Japan. Yoko Kanno is the Keyboard player, and main composer, but it's essentially a super group of Japanese musicians. I very highly recommend them to everyone. You can find some of their live shows on YouTube. I recommend starting with Tank! It's Jazzy, but they play the crowd and songs like Rock songs. Freaking awesome. I may or may not have spent the last 45 minutes here at work watching a whole bunch of videos. Blue is also a freaking amazing song.
I always find it interesting when I listen to Japanese music (or other locations as well) that they have so much English in their songs. Morning Musume is another example. They use English regularly. I understand that quite a few people there speak English, but in comparison, our second language is OFFICIALLY french, but I never hear any English Canadian songs that use French as well. American music is similar. I think I'll make it my goal to start writing music that uses more languages in it. Nolto(apologies now for the MySpace link, I died a little inside doing it. I don't think he has anything better for a site...), get on that. (The better site, and the Non-English verse). I want your next song to have at least a full verse in not-English. We took that intro to Japanese course for a reason! Also, you need to do more concerts with a live back up band. I know a extremely attractive, single, awesome, humble, friendly, kick-ass bass player. I'm sure he'd play in a heartbeat with you, any time. Maybe after his vacation you should jam with him?
7 More days until my vacation! Couldn't get here fast enough.

Dreams
After reading a friends blog, she was talking about crazy dreams. I've shared some of my crazy dreams before, and this is no exception to that.
Recent weird dream I had, a Hockey Game. Nothing really that excited. I guess I was feeling very Canadian? We won. Actually, my team dominated. It was kind of a joke of a hockey game. I found it very odd that that was the entire dream though. Nothing building up to a hockey game. Nothing after the game. Just like a highlight reel of me playing hockey. What the heck is that supposed to mean? It didn't really instill any feeling in me either. It was like watching a hockey game on TV, except that I was in it, and I didn't really care which team won. Maybe it's a sign that I need to watch more sports?
I do agree with Ruby's statements though. I'd reply, but I have no livejournal account. I know she reads this occasionally though, so she'll likely see this. One of the side effects of napping a lot, is more situations to dream in. Some I remember, some I don't, but they always have a huge impact on how I feel for the rest of the day, or at least until next nap period. I don't remember the dream at all, but I know I liked it, and that puts me in a good mood. Now I can get all philosophic, and say does the dream exist, and what not, but that's not my style.
At least not when I'm sober.
8 Days until holidays.

Pushups Day 2
I did my second scheduled day of Pushups yesterday.
It was 12, 12, 10, 10, Max (13).
It's still very exhausting. Fortunately, my arms don't hurt as much today as they did after day 1's pushups. Maybe I've improved my form? I had 90 seconds between sets, so I tried to do some stretching as I was waiting, which may have helped a bit. If I can get my regular Yoga going, then things will likely be even less painful.
Reasonably uneventful weekend. Starting to get a bit nervous on how I'll manage my nap schedule over my 2.5 week trip to visit friends. Hopefully things will be laid back enough I can just lay down wherever I am for 20 minutes. We'll see.

pushups day 1
so I did my first day of pishups today. My initial test was about 25 pushups. Today I did sets of 10, 10, 8, 6, 15. I was reasonably happy with that. The downside is I am not in shape, and my body is sore. From just a reasonably small amount of pushups. I guess that is why I'm doing them.
So my iPhone was having problems with time lately. Today, now, it has the right time, but it was totally an hour off yesterday. Weird other than that I am super happy with it so far. I'm actually making this blog post on it. The first time I types on up though it crashed safari (the web browser on it). This time seems to be a little smoother.
Well I want to go now though. I reading watchmen, the graphic novel, and I'm intendingto hit the fringe yet his afternoon. Hopefully the weather stays enjoyable for it.
