After 10,000 Years I'm Free! It's Time To Take Over Earth!
________________________________________ _____________________________________
It's been an entire weekend since I last posted.. both my readers must have been wondering where I've been (sry to keep you hanging guys). As lazy as this weekend was, schoolwork-wise, it just didn't quite live up to what I was hoping it'd been. Friday night was a bust so I ended up going for a 4-or so hour walk west of Waterloo, well into the farmlands. On Saturday it rained a good amount (see pic below), but I still managed to hit up a couple of record stores in the area, and went to go see Get Smart with my roomate. It surpassed my expectations, made me laugh a lot. Keep in mind I'm kinda easily impressed by movies in general. In the evening a friend from back home (home in the north) was in town and we hit up the camp fire they had on campus. What a shitty fucking fire, I tell you.. you can put a buncha eggheads together and make them solve complicated math/science problems, but don't expect much when you get them to put a fire together. All in all, the smores we made were pretty freaking delicious though. I got myself a pita after that encounter, was a mighty good supper. We treked up town afterwards and saw some freaks performing on the street. I fed some glass to a dude with tatoos on his face. It was actually real glass from a lightbulb, he loved it. Another guy juggled flaming batons, and did all these cool card tricks, which I guess doesn't make him a freak per-say, but he's getting grouped up with the people he hangs out with. And on Sunday we had a soccer team sushi lunch. All you can eat sushi... It was awesome, we ate a ridiculous amount. I'm 100% sure they lost money because of us. Heh that'll show them!
This weekend I was also introduced to a really cool rock band from Vancouver called Black Mountain. They put out an album called In The Future this year, and it's a solid listen all the way through. My personal favourite track is Tyrants, or maybe it's Queens Will Play.. I can't decide right now. Bright Lights is just over 16 mins long, which doesn't come off as a good thing when you first think about it, but trust me: give it a listen, I dare you to listen to it and not enjoy it somehow. This band basically kicks ass, lots of psychadelic, lots of 70's rock influences, all things that are good.
