do you know what i have been doing? listening to a shit tonne of canadian music. if you don't already, you should be listening to radio 3! i started posting like 8000 youtube videos, but you guys should just check out my playlist--go to that link up there, click 'user playlists' then when it says 'browse by name' type in mine: arinn. i have been updating it a lot, so you should listen!

my idea to buy one canadian indie cd a month was not met with much enthusiasm. last month was the paper cranes. this month i'm debating between basia bulat oh my darling, joel plaskett emergency ashtray rock, anything by jim bryson or corb lund (and the hurtin' albertans!! love it.)

as far as my donate to one thing a month campaign goes, i donated to the uk alzheimers society. i am also going to be sending a bit of cash to my friend suneil, who is currently volunteering in kenya because he is pretty much awesome. here is his blog. you should check it out because it's pretty interesting!

my mom is visiting in ten days. yay!! we are getting dragonfly tattoos on our feet.

so cal anomaly: last night it hailed. twice!!

i have been playing videogames so much lately. i go between animal crossing and harvest moon: another wonderful life on gamecube, and animal crossing: wild world, cooking mama and the legend of zelda: phantom hourglass on my shitty refurbished ds. the bottom screen doesn't work as well as i'd like. oh well--someday i'll have a beautiful pink ds lite!!

i am loving my job. have i told you guys that? it's so fulfilling and super fun. i saw a baby on tv last night and it made me excited to go back to work on monday.

i want to update with photos, but my computer still sucks (i'm not going to be able to get it fixed for another couple weeks) so you'll have to wait.
