pea soup?

i once heard that saying "the fog is as thick as pea soup" came from england. now if i were british, i might say that of the past weekend. we've had fog here since saturday. and it isn't just as thick as pea soup. it's like everyone decided to cook rice all at the same time... this cloud of rice steam just hasn't let up! it's wednesday already!! maybe later i'll go out and take a picture of the street and hopefully that will aid any of the "visualisationally impaired"... ;op

i'm going to do my laundry now.

d.d. for life

it's 1013 right now.

i was at the royal (a hole in the wall club on granville street) last night.
by 2300 my friends all ranged from tipsy to drunk.
suprisingly, they played that jamiroquai song! (yes, i danced.)
we left by 2oo.
despite 4 barf stops, and numerous drunken arguements (among them... i was just laughing at them), i managed to get three of them home safe.
i got home at 4oo this morning.

i woke up at 915.
i expected to start tutoring math at 945 for 2 hours.
my student is not here.

i am tired.

nothin left for me to do but...

You know this boogie is for real.

I used to buy my faith in worship,
But then my chance to Heaven slipped.
I used to worry about the future
But then I throw my caution to the wind.
I had no reason to be care free
No no no, until I took a trip to the other side of town
Yeah yeah yeah, you know I heard that boogie rhythm
Hey- I had no choice but to get down down down down.

Dance, nothing left for me to do but dance,
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance
Got canned heat in my heels tonight baby

I feel the thunder see the lightning
I know this anger's heaven sent.
So I've got to hang out all my hang-ups
Because of the boogie I feel so hell bent
It's just an instant gut reaction, that I got
I know I never ever felt like this before,
I dont know what to do
But then thats nothing new,
Stuck between hell and high water
I need a cure to make it through.

Hey- dancing nothing left for me to do but dance
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance,
Hey got canned heat in my heels tonight baby
You know know know I'm gonna dance yeah
Off all the nasty things that people say.

Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight
Dance, come on got canned heat in my heels tonight
Canned heat in my heels tonight.


i got to teach music all day today. the usual music teacher is great, but i really like it that i get to take over when she gets sick. i'm not the type to adhere strictly to the lesson plan she leaves me, but today was good. we got to listen to a bit of reggae and some jamaican stories, and we got to learn a bit about jazz and ragtime and marches. then, of course, because i'm in charge, i play a bit of the "hidden beach recordings" to the kids if they're good. jazzed instrumentals of hiphop songs is so intriguing to them. they actually listen to the music, the instruments. it's really neat how music affects the kids.
the last time i had a chance, i pumped them up with the beatles "white album", then i asked them the songs they knew off of jay-z's "black album", then flipped it around by letting them listen to the "grey album"... that floored them. they couldn't believe that sort of mix could happen. so good times.

i am so happy. i think i will dance!

4 photos, 4 dollars, 4 minutes

this is how we look withOUT our makeup on.

faces only a mother could love. to think, we all fit in that tiny photo booth. and all this because we didn't bring a camera to dimsum!

MY APOLOGIES!

so i was wondering WHY nobody wanted to comment on my blog anymore. not even my sister!! then i looked around... yeah i clicked on that moderate comments YES button and there was no email address saved to it. hehe... silly me. so to clarify, i haven't been ignoring everyone's comments. thanks for them all. reading them all at once made it feel like it was my birthday and i got to open all my presents at once!! :o)

to the comments i say:
- dancing is awesome... and i strive to be awesome too. thanks for the support/props.
- the beatles are awesome!
- i will lend you my piano when i can figure how to fit it in the envelope.
- fighting with sticks is awesome. i'll stop holding back when you want your butt kicked (this is directed to my cousin).

and yes, i originally put the moderation thing on because of stupid blog comment spam. i don't need to know ways to: pleasure my man, pleasure my woman, get cheap prescription drugs online, lose weight, or make more money without leaving the comfort of my own home. and, come to think of it, some chick called rashguardgirl might even be a spammer in the guise of a blogger!!

i feel like elmer fudd. oooh, those pesky wabbits!

have a good day friends... :o)

the b-girl is strong in me

one day i will be able to pull sweet floor moves as such. one day.

i'm only sleeping

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (Float up stream)

Please, don't wake me,
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am,
I'm only sleeping

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Til they find there's no need (There's no need)

Please, don't spoil my day,
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling...

Please, don't spoil my day,
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (Float up stream)

Please, don't wake me,
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am,
I'm only sleeping...

this song reminds me of when my sister and i were in university. we blasted this old beatles tape on saturday mornings. we always wondered why it was so bad that oasis was always biting the beatles' sound. we like that beatles sound (the later tracks, that is).

it's been a long day for me. too much work, too little rest. however, i am feeling a bit musical... despite it now being just past midnight, i think i'll tickle the ivories. maybe i can find some old oasis sheet music to play ;o)

i wish i had more time to:

play video games.
play the piano.
listen to and then mix music.
read books that I want to read.
practice my sweet b-girl moves.

i think i know what i want to be when i grow up: retired! ;op

halloween highlights

scary pumpkins... beetlejuice as a snake and the silhouette of the zombies from dawn of the dead.

mmm... candy!
