maybe it’s because i hung out with such great people all day that i don’t really want to go out right now. but i am restless. i feel trapped on the island. i contemplated driving to duncan just to get out of victoria 10 minutes ago. but there’s nothing in duncan for me.
dekoZe is playing at hush and i don’t have the energy to dance. if i did have the energy to dance, if i wanted to dance, i would be there. that would be the place. dekoZe has never, ever disappointed. but, as craig worded it earlier, i can see it feeling like i am out of place, but not being so inclined enough to leave.
looking at the time and finding yourself in the same place 30 minutes later.
i need the energy of a big city. i feel far away from connections i need to make. in the music world i still feel like a spectator. maybe i should just go to sleep, however, i feel repelled from my bed right now. the nocturnal side of me, the night owl, is changing directions and it’s hard to tell when it is going to stop.
julie told me about this amazing summer solstice event she is preparing for tomorrow. it sounds incredible, the experience, something that i feel i need — but i shut myself down before she even mentioned that one is not able to invite anyone until after they have been attending for at least 4 years. i don’t know why i did that. if it was possible, i would go. that is the kind of thing i need, tonight. something like that. driving around victoria, listening to music, going clubbing.. would be fun somewhere else. here, everything is too familiar. i need unfamiliarity, i need to be overwhelmed, i crave that kind of energy. it isn’t here.
or is it?

the box office is sold out.. the website i was looking at needed to be updated.. blah.. i found a place online that has tickets.. but they’re charging $130-160 PER ticket in not great spots. and you have to buy them in twos. so it’s $260 – $320.
anyone have any ins here? there’s gotta be a way! 🙁 🙁 meh. help!

well, today i decided i officially like Dido. her white flag song + video got me. what a gorgeous voice. i talked to craig about it tonight and he was like “dude yeah i know i am going to go see her in may.” i was like, “where?! vancouver, seattle?!” he says “no, victoria.” what?!
last time i spontaneously decided i liked someone, it was coldplay. and so in one day i bought both of their albums and bought tickets to their may 23rd (my birthday) showing in vancouver, and it was one kick-ass show.
i’ve found that there are, amazingly, still tickets left her mid-may victoria show, but they’re only being sold in twos. so that means i need someone to come with me. pleeease! anyone interested?

myself and jim (and eventually jenlucy) went on a bit of a photoexcursion in east sooke and at witty’s lagoon on sunday… these are some of the pictures i took. verinice day, though it got cloudy and grey near the end. still there was a silver perfection to it..

• charles is almost done another completely über remix of magnetic (#2!)

i am not waking up with the same kind of energy i did earlier in the week, although i do know why. i have a huge list of things to blog about from the plane ride back to vancouver from london, but i don’t have time to get into them right now. so, bye!

bahhhhh

it’s early in the morning, i went to sleep at 10:30 last night.. completely exhausted.. woke up this morning.. feeling not-so-exhausted.
had a really productive day yesterday. that felt good. going to have another today! after work i am going to Steve’s to watch The Game.. boy did Vancouver ever not show up for their last game.. ah well, series is tied 2-2.. Vancouver still has home ice advantage. Steve is Victoria’s Calgary Flames fan, and is the only person in Victoria to feature a Calgary Flames Flag on his car. what’s funny is that he drives this car to where he works, which is the local broadcast station for the Canucks! haha!
funny thing is .. if you like hockey and you live in this area.. either you’re a canucks fan, or you hate the canucks.. there is no indifference.. there is not a single hockey club that i hate out there. weird how that goes. okay maybe i dislike st. louis a little bit.
the picture was taken in aberdeen. funny.. i miss driving on the wrong side of the road! i love getting lost because i am so familiar with my surroundings here in victoria.
