School whacked me in the face and I feel like I've been trying to salve a nosebleed ever since.
Rehearsals are going well and I really like the girls. We rehearse twice a week on the weekends. I've made pretty good friends with the director and it's so much fun working with a student director who is my peer; instead of being someone I'm supposed to learn from, we learn together.
School is going alright now. I'm still really digging my Irish Lit course and all the stuff that our professor brings to the table. The other courses are all great as well, I'm really glad about my choices, I just wasn't prepared for all the readings that I'd be doing.
So fun stuff:
I went to Igloofest last weekend. It's a Canadian thing, I suppose, to go dance to techno music outside in -13 degrees celcius. It was quite a strange novelty dancing around bumping into people in my big puffy jacket. A fun novelty, but I think it will just be a one time thing. Crazy Canadians.
Yesterday I went to go see one of my favorite bands! Nouvelle Vague made there way to Montreal. They're a french band led by two producers that do bossa nova covers of punk and new wave. The producers have said that they wanted to bring new life to the songs so they usually picked women singers who had never heard the originals. It is SO good. Made to sound like 60's French pop; they are such a great live presence band. One of the girls ran into the crowd and danced around with people, me included. The other, for a final song, came into the crowd with her mic while singing and got really dramatic for the song 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' and writhed around on the floor.
Tim and I are now an item, fyi. Dani called it. It's a good fit and I'm happy. And no, we will no longer be roommates, and yes, he is still in Vancouver.
