TAKLING DREAM PHONE.

Hey man...

Biggest thing this week is that me plus Devin equals one year of going steady.

I did it once when I was a teen but Devin never has so he was pretty stressed but maybe he was just stressed because he is getting old.





















Come to think of it, that's exactly what he looked like all through MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D because he was very very afraid.

By the way you guys, that movie is serious F-U-N!





















Meanwhile, I had my head between my knees as I hyperventilated over the fact that we tried to go to CHEAP MOVIE TUESDAY and then the "birthday" boy wanted to see MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D and then it cost like THREE DOLLARS MORE!!!










It was so totally worth it though to see Kid Rock's ex-girlfriend make a bad name for models turned actresses...I wish her guts had exploded towards my face though, because it's always fun to see pretty people get butchered, rather than just the bleached blonde whoorebag with the face you don't even notice because she is jiggling her funny boobs around running naked in heels...

Devin decided that since we were going steady for one year, it was now time that he be allowed to have a cigarette in my bed??















It was pretty.





















OH GROSS.

Last night we danced around to D'Angelo covering Bill Withers' Use Me.


Then Devin was like "I hate you you're the WORST MOM EVER!!" because I made him have some cough syrup because he keeps waking me up with that shit.

Is cough syrup really that terrible?? I thought that everyone got fucked on it in boarding school...Like my dear friend who shall remain nameless (JENNA BOND), at boarding school in grade 11 she was like "Are you 'tussin?" as in "Are you getting fucked on cough syrup?"

HAVE A NICE DAY!

Fikamusikkonsert-In-The-Fields

One of the many things I love about
our Swedish cousins, is the fact that they’ve
a word in their lexicon which roughly means
“to meet-up with friends and drink some coffee”.
And that word is fika. Some fika. To fika. It’s fika time!
Now strictly speaking, a fika isn’t really a fika without
the accompaniment of something sweet on the side.
A cinnamon roll perhaps. Or a saffron bun.
Or, in tonight’s case at least, a low-key gig
in a church dedicated to the patron saint of outcasts.
Better known by the pseudonym Loney Dear,
Emil Svanängen is a multimember home-recording
one-man-band phenomenon, who appears
very much at ease up on the pulpit this evening.
For whilst other Scandinavians of his age were out
meeting girls, drinking snaps and smoking herring,
Emil was in his parent’s basement in the city of Jönköping,
armed with a minidisk microphone, various instruments and his PC.
In a recent interview, Emil described his albums as being a bit like cakes.
The kind of cake this brings to mind
is a traditional Swedish Prinsesstårta;
multi-layered and dusted with sugar.
A light green falsetto exterior giving way
to a rich swollen centre of whipped
percussion and butterfat handclaps.
If he doesn’t hook you with the spiraling glockenspiel
in ‘I Am John’, he’ll no doubt ensnare you instead with
the whistling refrain that underpins ‘I Was Only Going Out’
or the singalong section which enhances ‘The Meter Marks OK’.
Your sweet-tooth smile widening with each new overdub.
Outside, afterwards, fika-time over for another day,
we lean against the gravestones for a while
and suck on cold beers whilst a steward
sweeps-up cigarette butts at our feet.
Loney Dear has a plane to Boston Massachusetts to catch in the morning
I’ve got a radiator that needs bleeding.

SPEED OF GOD.

First things first. Is anyone really into this band called The Big Pink??
















I heard of them a few days ago when I was listening to this show on BBC1 with Annie Mac and Lily Allen as guest DJ. Lily played this track called Too Young To Love at the end and said these guys The Big Pink are her friends and everyone should get really into them because they are "brill-yint".





















[Hey Hugh!]

I really liked it in a familiar way but I thought it must be an old song I had forgotten by some old dudes she met when she was dating that guy from the Chemical Brothers, because it sounds kind of early-mid 90s but it turns out it isn't.

No one (of three cool-ish people) I asked had heard of them.

Does it sound a bit liked they've been trapped inside a heart-shaped box since 1993??


















Besides the dancey drum machine thing or whatever you would call it and that muffled car alarm noise, it's sprinkled with Seattleism.

Whatever, maybe Diplo remixed it like 3 months ago (when it came out??) but I'm new on the internet and really have been living under a rock for about a year and have only in the past month remembered that there is a lot of music to be found on the world wide web, as well as television shows?






































OH, WOW! COOL!

Anyway! I think I like this band and the video for this song is sort of cool too. Big up The Big Pink and Too Young To Love!!!


Next things next, I got a handwritten letter in the mail from my landlord (that lives above me) that told me NO MORE NICOLA and also wished my family health and happiness in the new year??


What made it so sad was that I went to the post office to pick it up, thinking it was going to be a fun letter from a friend that was full of candy or something...but NOOOOOO!

It was way harsh...but completely cordial.
















I live alone in a basement apartment. I've never had a wild party where we played suck and blow and I've never had noise complaints. My speakers aren't even loud! If anything, they are the loud ones. It's true! Whenever their parents are out, the teen boys play Eminem and AC/DC really loud and watch Steven Seagal movies like their living room is a movie theatre!





















Not that I care really, but still! I started thinking too much...are they mad at me because I left my Halloween decorations up until mid-November?? Is it the fact that I have had 4 post-it notes on my door since November 18th, 2007 as a science experiment to see how strong post-it notes are in the face of the Montreal winter?? Do they not like me because I am shy because they are very very French and I forget how to talk around them because I get nervous?? Are they mad because they saw me naked once or four times??

Telling my parents seems sort of like showing them a bad report card. Too bad I can't just turn the F- into an A+ like Stephanie Tanner...

















I don't really know why no more Nicola but what blows the most right now is that in my shower, when I turn on the hot water, nothing comes out. No water whatsoever. The cold tap dispenses cold. Now that my feelings are hurt, I don't know how to approach them...

This better not be some kind of sick joke.

overclock!! grrrr~~

wanted to change pc so badly >.<
