Friday: Jimmy Eat World
I didn't like the two opening bands and I didn't like how J.E.W. played 3 minutes of Goodbye Sky Harbour. The last time I saw them (three years ago at the Opera House), they played the entire 16+ minutes.

Saturday: Saints' Charity Ball
Ama and I went to Le Trou Normande, a little French restaurant in Yorkville, for lunch. It was fabulous and my second time having salmon this week. Aaron had taken me to Messis on Thursday for dinner and I had salmon then, too. The remainder of the day was spent tweaking a French paper. I almost forgot to go to the florist to pick up the stuff I'd ordered but Alan reminded me when he came to my door with his bow tie and two pages of instructions printed off the internet. The rest of the evening was fantastic: we had drinks at the Bedford Academy (or waiter was a DOLL! <333), a pre-party in my room (we're notorious for those by now), and the actual ball itself was great!

Saturday: Santa Claus Parade
We woke up bright and early (e.g. 11am!) and went to Over Easy for breakfast and to watch the Parade. My entire experience once again reminded me exactly why and exactly how much I abhor the "Christmas" season. Our server was a bitch and people who crowded the sidewalks on Bloor were just so anal about letting people through. Christmas most certainly brings the worst out of people. To my amusement, I took over 200 pictures of everything from marching bands to miserable people. I also noticed a flaw (but failed to capture it, shame on me!) in the Santa's Workshop float: the weathervane shows S and N, but if Santa really lived in the North Pole, it would say S and S. That's because Santa actually lives in Quebec (postal code H0H 0H0).

Laura and Ama told me at lunch that PILATE is playing at the Mod Club on December 15. I proceeded to shit kittens.

So we went to Rotate This and got tickets. YAY YAY YAY, Ally is coming and staying over and then heading right back to Burlington.

I dyed my hair black last night. The change is about as drastic (to me) as bleaching my entire head. I don't think my hair has been its "natural" colour in about four years. Heck, I'm pretty sure my hair has been blonde a few more times than it has been black in that same amount of time!

Things that made me happy in the past 2 days:

I've only started watching SATC since I got to Trin since Laura and Ama adore it. Now, I'm totally addicted. I'm kind of ashamed that I'm so into it. And Alex is right: I am so a Miranda.

I still like Six Feet Under more though. Really. <333

Things that will make me happy this coming week/end:

Stop this world, let me off
There's just too many pigs in the same trough
There's too many buzzards sitting on the fence
Stop this world, it's not making sense

And that is
Stop this game, deal me out
I know too well what it's all about
I know too well that it had to be
Stop this game well it's wrecking me

-- Diana Krall

I feel like I'm squandering my life. I did not a shred of work this weekend (keep in mind I have 4-day weekends). Instead I spent obscene amounts of money for clothes (well, one shirt; it was still an obscene amount), went for all-you-can-eat sushi (and other things), watched tv, and slept in (sooooo gooood!). I suppose I could be doing work now but I've tried multiple times and I still don't understand it, as simple as Consumer Behaviour might be and probably is.

There was this lady in my POL tutorial tonight and she was very idealistic. The topic of discussion at the time was the judicialization of politics. I wasn't sure if I felt sad that the idealism she expressed does not exist in the world or if it was because she was so idealistic. I think what appalled me the most was not her idealism but rather how adamant she seemed to be.

I'm contemplating dropping out again. Really... WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK am I doing here? Becoming fat and watching Six Feet Under don't count, so that leaves just about nothing.
