is there something wrong when 1. at 10pm you get a response from Tom to an email you sent out @ 8:30 2. you respond within a minute of reading it 3. you write an email to a co-worker about something that needs to be done 4. you get a response @ 10:13pm saying "will do tomorrow" somehow i don't think we're this efficient *during* office hours. remote desktop ftw i guess?

i got a slew of new music to enjoy. my brother mailed me 4 cd's which arrived on saturday (just in time ) sarah blasko, an aussie compilation (she will have her way, the songs of time & neil finn), the new ben lee and the solo release from bernard fanning (singer of powderfinger which sounds like the aussie equivalent of the hip in terms of intercountry fans) other than that was a fairly good weekend. went to hector and barb's engagement party yesterday at tavern on the green (wow, what a room for the private party) then out for steaks tonight. other than that nothing really new happening ... gosh is it almost march already?

Their 00's indie and alt country and canadian indies were a sort of small trip back through memory lane i think emeliana torrini is in nyc next week...

quick update on the past 2/3 weekends.... first weekend of the year went out to *kinda* look at apartments because i got this idea that i wanted to move to the west village... just getting fed up with my current neighbourhood.. also dropped by pants to get hemmed (yah!) last weekend went out to pick up my pants and spent two and a half days cleaning/rearranging my apartmetn over the long weekend realizing that i could spend the equivalent of a brokers fee (2k+) to make my place much better ... got two intermetro shelves and moved my tv to the near corner near the bathroom, moved my stereo out to the middle of the aparment (with a dual seperated couch structure now). made the area when i walk in more organized too with a coat rack there and a small cabinet thingie.... we'll see how long this lasts ... btw, i found a LOT of dust bunnies hiding around the place considering it's been over a year since i actually really *cleaned* but friday was bowling night at ... THE PORT ...
