home is where ever i'm with you...

Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is on constant repeat (in between Sufjan Stevens' christmas albums) in my itunes since I heard it for the first time a couple weeks ago and while it screams summer, it seems that it will be the anthem of my winter holidays. It's that song, you know, that really takes you back to a particular point in your life. I know that when I play this song 5 months from now, I am going to have that nostalgic wave of "christmas 2009" and all its glory (I hope!). Funny how music does that to us, eh? I suppose it is both good and bad, depending on the memories, but either way I sure think it's a beautiful thing.

Seasons Greetings!! .. sort of..

Due to every student's favourite state of exams (in which i'm currently drowning) this post is but a brief announcement until I am free from the constraints of my books and my apartment and the library and my coffee mug and my books....

I wanted to link you to Chark, a new, group side project which will hopefully be the beginning of something super fantastic. For now, take a look at some great photos of some of the gang (I wasn't kidding when I said this was new, as in one post new!) posted by my partner in crime and founder of Chark, Miss Colleen Kirley. Please stay tuned in the new year, as Chark will start moulding into shape!

Oh and by the way, on the fateful day of october 31st, the stars aligned and brought Charlie Fink and I together. I met him at work, in HMV and sold him adventureland on DVD. With a permanent smile plastered on my face and burning red cheeks, I tried to calmy articulate to him how much I love love love their music, their new album... and well, just him in general (!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I like my job. A lot.
i will be here in 65 days... the countdown starts today
