The frat, John Mayer, and the onset of winter.

I'm not going to lie to you.


That rumour going around that I slept with Christina Aguilera is completely untrue. Except the part where we were singing karaoke together at 'Mel's Karaoke and Sushi!'.. That was fun..

Last weekend saw me going to my first ever frat party.. Honestly, I had an awesome time. It was everything I thought it would be.. But bigger.
I was invited by an old ex-American Eagle co-worker, (Kudos Ryan!) and headed out on Friday night with my friendly cab driver at around 10-ish. It was a blast, (until the cops broke it up because the party reached capacity.. and then another hundred or so..).
The whole thing was held out at UBC's DKE house, t-shirts saying things like "save a horse, ride a frat-boy" and a cage with a sign stating "Drunk Tank" with (unaware) girls dancing inside were prevalent, along with music, drinking, and people as far as the eye could see. A veritable ocean of students of having a good time, not too wild, and by all means 'I can't hear a word you're saying'-able. Good times.

Until the party was broken up, I was hanging out with a group of fun loving gals I ran into near the drunk tank, but who were, thankfully, not ready to be led into it themselves. Luckily I wasn't blind myself and so I had the sense to snap some pics, and also surprisingly hand out a couple of business cards so they could reach me and get the photos we took. The day after I saw at least 3 people on the bus that were at the party the night before, looking a little groggy and who in no way recognised me, but that's to be expected.. The people in the photos messaged me the next day and did remember who I was however..
Anyway a great night which I'm hoping is the first of many..
Photos ensue (and no explanation is necessary or going to happen..):














On a colder note. Winter is certainly kicking the crud out of Autumn here. Poor Fall never had a chance.. About 4 days ago the temperature dropped about 10 degrees and the clouds rolled across the mountains and blanketed the city in an ominous slate-grey. The weather forecast is set for rain, rain, clouds, rain, almost SUN!, and rain.. So yeah, I think I've seen the end of summer this year. And it was awesome.
Not like Melbourne where the weather is almost as if it's being controlled by an insane gameshow host with a bottle of rum in hand, spinning the weather wheel and cackling as every ten minutes as the climate goes bonkers and confuses the hell out of the schooled weathermen and confounded citizens.
Summer here is consistent. Sun, sun, sun, sun. That's an average four-day outlook.. Very refreshing really..

Finally, I managed to pick up John Mayer's new album, 'Continuum', and I remembered why I liked this artist so much in the first place. The album is awesome, (though Lissy will say otherwise..) a great balance of upbeat/downbeat, and really good melodies, very catchy.

Enjoy the pics, I think that's everything for now!
Catch ya soon!

bahaha... frat party... AWESOME!!
Did they have some cliched house name like "kappa-Gamma-Beta"?... or have i watched Scream one too many times?
Were there slain Sarah Michelle Gellars EVERYWHERE? Oh wait... different cheesy bloody american-teen cult movie. Hmph.
Yeah... the weather here really is bonkers. I think Jesus had a love child with some goddess... you know the one... she has big norgs and sings... whatever. Anyway, i think this aforementioned lovechild has A.D.D. and was for some reason placed above Rob Gell on the weather heirachy. It was 30 degrees today... 30!!! Spring has barely sprung and we're already basting ourselves in coconut tanning lotion. Tomorrow will be 18 and wet... the day after that?? WHO KNOWS!!! They keep trying with their 7 day forecast... i sit there and mock them with the utmost contempt. BAH!
Anyway... peace out!

You're right, it is an awesome album. Can't get Slow Dancing In A Burning Room outta my head! And the accoustic tracks are accoust-ASTIC!!

The scary thing about this post is as I started reading the sun was shining through my window, and by the time I clicked to make a comment... well, let's just say it's greyer than a greyhounds grey purse which holds his elusive and teasing cherry red lipstick which is used when he howls at the moon in his French Poodle drag outfit.



I need a shot to the arm or a shovel to the head.

Regardless, nice work at the frat party. I can't wait till the photos come up of next weeks Kegger and Octobers Toga Party and wild rabbit beastiality show. They say some of them are completely hareless

My puns don't rhyme but I have enough to reach from here to the moon, and with that my dear friend I shall most verily talk to you soon. (White men have no rhythm... please, somebody understand what I meant by that. It makes sense!!)




... Sigh...
