inspired by the latest posts of my fellow bloggers coco and sheepie (ahahahha that sounds.. different) i've decided to mark this happy but otherwise/overall average summer day with a blog!

things are good. have been back in ottawa nearly a week and everything's been a-ok, borderline - great! just seeing friends and family again blah blah blah, and knowing that i've got a bit of cash flowing in, starting yesterday -i'm getting paid for the 2 hours i spent standing around being 'trained' for something i've already done. it's nice to know i'll be workign in the next couple of weeks even if it's temporary. and it's nice to be living at home for a bit, knowing that i'll be going away in not too long. i was thinkign of buyign my plane ticket to france today. why not?? otherwise i might just veg out in front of the tv and watch some tennis, or walk to WalMart to buy a portable electronic device - i'm thinking a Sony mp3 walkman.. long story. i'm not jumping on the Ipod bandwagon yet. i wont' have a computer in Lyon so there wont' be a lot of downloading going on.

i was sad to say goodbye to friends in toronto and to toronto itself, but turns out a lot of old friends are here in ottawa right now and it's been really nice to catch up with them. it's just like high school again, really. REWIND four years and here we are. the same old gang. minus a couple who are either married or have defected to the US of A. ;)

it's a nice day out. i should really go to the beach or something.
MAYBE part of the reason i'm in such a good mood right now is that i just spoke to mon cheri. and i've decided to join my parents for a trip to PEI post-dropping off of the sister in the 'fax and visiting katie-loo of manchester fame!

also bought tickets for Metric in Ottawa at the end of September ...! got them during the presale on ticketmaster.. not sure how that worked, but i ended up getting them a couple of days before they 'went on sale'. unhuh... i'm not complaining. Jason Collett is opening ! wooooohooooooooo.
AND, turns out i WILL be able to see Feist, on a smaller stage, at the folk fest. yesssssssss

tra la la. oh gosh, i know i'm gonna look at this blog later and regret writing it in such a perky mood.
well, for the record, i'm having a very nice August 13, 2005.

*muah*
