Frig, no standby tix for Conan :( At least it saved me the trouble of goin down there and waitin in the cold. Watchin the shows this week...maybe it's Canadians but I think it's just ppl in general...they get so star-struck, geez. OK I know it's Conan, he's doin a big time show in T.O. but damn, ppl...calm yourselves! If I was in the audience I'd be screamin and clappin too, yes, but after every single sentence that comes outta his mouth? "Toronto!" WOOOOOO! "Maple Leafs!" WOOOOO! "Dirt!" WOOOOO! Haha, idiots. And those jackasses who practically hurt themselves when the camera comes around. "Herr herr herr, I'm on TV! Look at me, I'm wavin my hands!" Really, just let the guests get in a sentence or two without 3 min waves of hootin and hollerin.

OK Fri the 13th. I'm not a superstitious person but I think I'm kinda on my toes around this day anyway. I already broke a dish. I was takin bread outta the fridge and a bowl of beans was in the way and in slo mo I watched it fall before I could react and try to catch it. Crash. Then I was just takin my glasses off my face and I dunno how but they somehow dropped from my hand and fell into the friggin sink. No broke lenses tho, whew.

Again, I'm here waitin for to be picked up so we can go to shoppin. Me and G saw Angie on Wed so that was sweet. She's only here for a week and goin back on Sun morning and she's got a lotta other ppl to see and things to do so that was pretty much the only time we could work it. It was so good tho, haven't seen her in like a yr and Wed's probably the last time in a while. I missed her! So smiley and just so...Angie! :D We stayed at Tim's for like 3 hrs til we were the only ones in there. Got all caught up on everythin in Japan, what's goin on here, checked out her ooooh Japan-exclusive cell phone. When we dropped her off, we realized we forgot to take pictures so there we were in her driveway havin a photo shoot on a cold winter night. I also hafta add that Angela doesn't let anyone in her house cuz she doesn't want anyone to see what a mess it is LOL Ever. That's why we didn't do the sensical thing and take pix inside :P She had brought us lil bags of Japanese goodies and we were takin turns hold eachother's as we took pix so Angie forgets she's still holdin G's bag and is about to go inside with it. G points and is like, uh...can I...have my bag? LOL No, I gave this to you and now I'm takin it back home LOL Ya had to be there :P
G and L were supposed to go see her again yesterday but I couldn't cuz I had class and couldn't skip it cuz the midterm questions were bein handed out. I was so bummed but turns out only G went (and for only like half an hr) cuz L's dad got in a car accident. Some woman apparently sped thru a red light goin FAST and slammed into him. He's OK but he didn't let himself get checked out first. L told me he went to WORK that night! He was bein stubborn but he is gonna go to the doctor just to be safe. So yeah, they're probably gonna sue that woman's ass. Their car is totalled. Me and L were just drivin in that car the day before...and jokin about the trick to openin the passenger door :P

Ah man, I'm startin to feel tired as hell. I couldn't sleep last night and I was like, argh I gotta be up at 11 or L's gonna bitch! Finally fell asleep around 6 am. I was OK til about an hr ago. Was just about to crash on the couch. G calls me about doin somethin tonight with Angie since she's back and I'm like, yeah we'll get me some coffee...when? She says 10 or later. I'm all, err? What time is it? She says 9 somethin. I'm like, wow I don't even know what time is it...felt like it was 11. And I'm laughin while I'm sayin this and the next thing she says is "Are you HIGH? Yeah you're high, you're high." And it's like this futile convo tryin to argue that I'm not :P I'm like, damn G! What the hell makes you think I'm high? Just cuz I was laughin? Haha...jerk.

So we got that gym thing done and over with. More paperwork and cancelling stuff. And my payment already went thru so I gotta wait til the head office refunds that back to my credit card. Craps. Plus the manager wasn't there when we went so we had over 2 hrs to kill til he came back.

We saw some girl from hs there. She was standin in the same room and I thought for a sec she looked familiar and then she went, hey I remember you! to L Totally forgot her name...or if it was her sister or not, haha. They look so much alike. Neve or somethin like that. I was gonna ask which one she was :P She looked GOOD tho. I'm guessin she works there cuz she's got the body too. Hate you lots.

OK I'm still waitin for G's ass to call me so we can jet. Haha oops, forgot to call Tony and tell him I didn't even to go school today...not like he'd remember either but hey. Ughhhh, 1 more day til I'm off for Reading Week. I'll probably check out the gym at school since our plans of goin together flopped. It's far and shit but it's super cheap and it'll gimme a reason to be at school when I don't have class so at least I might get some work done in the library. Maybe I'll try for Conan tomorrow or Fri.

So I was all ready to say oh yes, me and L finally joined a gym for real as of half an hr ago til L found somethin up with how much we were gonna pay and we said screw it. We just signed up today at Premier and all that paperwork and stuff was a chore. The facilities are a lot nicer than Goodlife and CHEAPER too. Our rep guy and the manager or somebody found a way to get us a discount (cuz we lied and said we were comin from Goodlife :P) plus 3 extra months. When he left us alone to talk about it, we were in there a good while cuz we thinkin over if we should go for it...300 somethin dollars for the yr is way less than anywhere else but still, strugglin students here...it's still a buncha money. We could pay it monthly but it'd be more and we'd still hafta pay for the whole yr. I was hopin I'd go for about 3 months and see how my funds would look for the months after those, haha. So I put it down on my credit card! :P Agh, I know I said I was done with it but hey, at least it's for the gym...it's a health thing, so there, haha.

For their insurance company thing, everybody has to do a physical session, like testin every 3 months with a trainer so measure and assess you and stuff (and it's mandatory, and you hafta pay for it). Weren't lookin forward to that. We even got hw! :P We were lookin thru the book they gave us and saw the kinda stuff they were gonna make us do, oh lord. We were sittin at Timmy's fillin out question after question (and the combo that I got to eat came with a donut and I'm like, well, *sniff sniff* can't be havin anymore of these! Damn lifestyle change! LOL). And they woulda been takin pictures, eee. And no caffeine, cigs, alcohol, etc. 24 hrs before :P
But turns out we weren't factorin in our assessment fee which is another 100 cuz we thought he said it was already included but it's not cuz L just called them, so that makes it almost 500 total. I'd pay it cuz it still makes out to around $32 a month but I don't wanna do that on my credit card. I have most of it in cash and in my bank account but it's not chequing so I can't do it those 2 ways. So we're goin back tomorrow to 'rescind' our memberships and get our money back. So close, so close. And we hafta cancel our test so we don't get charged for that too...that'd be kinda gay if we paid for it, killed ourselves runnin and jumpin and shit, and not even be goin to that gym :P But I figured I'd pretty much only need the machines and stuff til like the spring cuz I can't exactly go joggin in the snow and crap so maybe 15 months was a bit more than I needed (I'd do my cardio outside in the spring and summer for FREE).

The quest goes on for joinin a gym. Balls!

Friggin MSN, grrr. Not only did it cut me off while I was talkin to someone and still won't let me sign in, I couldn't even check my mail when someone was sendin me somethin.

Haha, yeah I totally forgot there was a live chat for my online course tonight :P I only happened to be on the site to post my late stuff and I realized I had 15 mins left til it was done. Good thing it wasn't THAT important...at least I still made an appearance, as if I had to work the late shift or somethin, heehee. OMG this dude kept private msg'in me and I'm like ohhhhh no, don't you even think of hittin on me or some shit, this is for school for god's sake!

I also realized...no class Wed, yeaaah! Only cuz they're goin on another field trip type thingy. Figured I'd go to that one, I might find some relevance with this time but they're doin grant writin and stuff too so not really :P Plus it's Reading Week next week so that'll be 2 weeks til I'm at that class again so I kinda feel bad. Ah well.

Conan's in town. He's so funny, saw him on MOD today. Crap it that we didn't get tix. Maybe we'll line up for day-of's this week.

OK Grammy discussion time :P

Album of the Yr- Outkast, yeah saw that 1 comin...I love Justin and I'm all for Evanescence but EVERYBODY loves Outkast this yr, they played their songs enough...where was everybody before Speakerboxxx/Love Below?

Record of the Yr- Clocks, kind of a suprise...guess they went for the least expected one, wasn't too overplayed, but it's stilll a good song

Song of the Yr- Dance with My Father, guess hit a note with a whole nutha audience cuz I hadn't even heard that song before (heard of it)...I'm sorry, the older stuff (A/C) doesn't play on the stations I listen to or on Much so :P But I was rootin for Avril's I'm With You cuz the melody and the chords are amazing

Best New Artist- Evanescence, yay! Thought it woulda been 50 like everyone else, which woulda been cool too. How the fuck Fountains of Wayne got nominated, I don't know!

Best Female Pop Vocal Performance- Christina Aguilera, figured that one. Woulda been happier with Avril

Best Male Pop Vocal Performance- Justin Timberlake, yeaaaah! Only one in my eyes... in a field of oldies. You gotta admit Cry Me a River was good.

Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal- No Doubt, I was happy about that one cuz I like them outta everyone else and the song's good :P

Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals- Sting & Mary J. Blige, that song I never heard...the other nominees are meh, except maybe for Pink's Feel Good Time

Best Pop Vocal Album- JT's Justified, haha NO contest! Maybe it didn't deserve Album of the Yr but def this one

Best Dance Recording- Come into My World, meh...Kylie's other song Love at First Sight was a better track. I wanted Telepopmusik's Breathe to win. THAT song is off the fuckin hook. The nominees in this category are always crap, they coulda surprised me with a decent winner this yr.

Best Female Rock Vocal Performance- Pink's Trouble, this song was so mediocre, any of her singles from Mizzunderstood maybe...Avril or Michelle Branch shoulda took it

Best Male Rock Vocal Performance-Dave Matthew's Gravedigger, never heard in my life...this thing with Dave Matthew, I don't get it *shrug* Lenny Kravitz's If I Could Fall in Love was good

Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal- Warren Zevon and Bruce Springsteen...don't really care much about the nominees for this one

Best Hard Rock Performance- Evanescence's Bring Me to Life, good one

Best Rock Song-White Stripe's Seven Nation Army, dunno what the hell the diff is with the last category but OK

Best Rock Album- Foos, thought Evanescence shoulda taken this one

Best Female R&B Vocal Performance- Beyonce, who didn't see this 1 comin...tho who knew it'd be for Dangerously in Love...did that song even come out?

Best Male R&B Vocal Performance- Luthor Vandross, figured this one...the nominees are alright but the songs chosen I'm not a fan of

Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals- Beyonce & Luthor, didn't even know that one...or any of the others except Floetry's...that one has really good vocals

Best Urban/Alternative Performance- Outkast, no question...they're up for so many of the big awards, how can they not take this one? Maybe Kelis tho, haha.

Best R&B Song- Crazy in Love, of course

Best Contemporary R&B Album- Beyonce's of course

Best Female Rap Solo Performance- Missy, they all love her

Best Male Rap Solo Performance- Em's Lose Yourself, that was some hype flows...I liked all the nominees tho

Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group- Shake Ya Tailfeather, god I got sicka this song quick, I don't think they coulda play this song on the radio more than they did, so typical...LOVE Magic Stick tho, that shoulda won

Best Rap/Sung Collaboration- Crazy in Love, this was so big it had to take it...all the nominees were wicked tho, I'd probably vote for Frontin

Best Rap Song- Lose Yourself, no surprise...as controversial as he's been, he's gotten so commonplace, and as much as some would say they don't like Em, they all listened after everyone else said he was a rap genius and seems they can't nominate him enough, haha...this song was from, what, 2 yrs ago?

Best Rap Album- Outkast, of course...they were all good, I'd go for 50's...poor Roots tho, you knew they didn't stand a chance, it might've been pretty good but they were just there to round out the 5, you know it.

Producer of the Year, Non-Classical- Neptunes, no doubt...no touchin them.

Best Short Form Music Video- Johnny Cash's Hurt, still haven't seen it even tho everybody's raved about it...I like Coldplay's The Scientist tho, dunno why that track wasn't nominated as record of the yr or whatever.

Overall this yr's Grammy's was pretty decent. Not really any "What the hell??" winners...cuz sometimes I just dunno what the Grammy ppl are thinkin when they pick some artists.

Just got home from Al's. J and Pris had other stuff to do so instead of goin out tonight, we just went over to make that video for Chris while she's in Cali...and played the game of Life, haha. Why everyone likes this game, I dunno. J's gonna go down and visit her next week. Damn I wished I had the $$ to go too.

So me and L went to Q's to play pool and Tim's and talked about her new revelations that her guy friend from school digs her, haha. Talk about a slowass. My hair's still rank from smoke. ugh. We weren't even smokin but you still get blanketed with the smell. Might as well have gone clubbin :P

Haha, I don't even remember what we were talkin about but...the music in Q's was loud so I said, somethin somethin...."you horny bitch!" and the music just stopped right as I said that LOL L's like, did you hafta say that part that loud right then? LOL Oops...stupid music.

Geez, I was drivin to and from L's house and it's the boonie-land resident streets so they don't plow them really so it's pretty much snowy with a sheet of ice over it. I had to roll slowly down her street (about not even 20 houses long), goin max 5 km/h no joke. This took me a good 7 mins to cruise (not drive) just goin down her street and around the corner.

When I was home, my mom was talkin to me and she's actin as if I'm 16 or somethin cuz she askin who I went out with. I said L and she's like, just the 2 of you? I was like, yessss. Then she's like, then who was that on the phone earlier? Sounded like a boy. Did you go out with a boy? (She tends to pick up the phone the same time I do so she heard a guy voice before she hung up).

OMG, the woman thought I was hidin shit about who I went out with LOL Yeah, I sneaked out with a boy, alone in the car, oooooooh! Honestlyyyyy. I'm like, that was Jason! Then she was like, oh OK. Haha, only cuz I've known him since 3rd grade. It's not even about that it was a guy, it's that she thought I'd hafta LIE about it, what the hell LOL That mother of mine *shakes head*

Holy crap. P emailed everybody about somethin on the news. The psycho woman who basically terrorized her when she went missin last yr was charged with fraud from 2 other ppl so she's finally gettin what's comin to her. Granted that woman's ass isn't gettin burned cuz she more or less kidnapped P and made her life hell for months but at least she's gonna pay for scammin those innocent ppl. I'm so glad for P, it's really good news for her.
