Still on Break

Yep, that's right, I'm still enjoying my winter break. One of the perks of the job. I love it. I also loved New Years Eve. I went with Sara and Chris and their friends to a potluck dinner (awesome) and then to the Pyramid for Inward Eye. Moses Mayes (a Winnipeg institution, apparently) also played, but I barely noticed. Inward Eye, on the other hand, was awesome. Their music is amazing and their live show is one of the best I've ever seen (kinda reminds me of Franz Ferdinand when we saw them in TO a while ago). Check them out here and here. They are definitely the next big thing to come out of Winnipeg - I'd say bigger than The Weakerthans and maybe even The Watchmen. Yeah, I said it, bigger than The Watchmen...

In other news, I'm loving my new camera. I can't wait to get the lcd screen protector so that I can start taking the camera around with me without worrying that I'm going to kill it... Speaking of cameras, I can't wait to see Chris' NYE pictures from his camera - should be good. I'll post a few of the keepers here, when I get 'em. Here's one of the first pictures from my little camera: Yes, I know, a self-portrait or something like that, but it only gets better from here...

I booked my flight to Toronto for Spring Break earlier this week. I'm gonna be there for a week at the end of March. I can't wait. Then, as soon as I get back to Winnipeg, the Ontario schools will be releasing their Teachers' College admission decisions...

The World Jrs. Hockey gold medal game was tonight. Great game for the Canadians with a huge 5-0 (well, really 5-1) win. A repeat of last year's gold medal victory, albeit with a very different team compared with last year's loaded team. I was impressed by Steve Downie's play - his grit, his tough grinding. Awesome. I know he's a little controversial, and I'm sure I don't know the whole story, but whatever. I like the way he played. Damn right.

And that, my friends, that's the way it was.
