Took off late after work to partake in one of my favourite pasttimes: Hearing + seeing Ours live in the flesh. Been seeing Jimmy's shows since 2k1 + each + every time it still amazes me. I really love this band. Always such a pleasure to experience their set. They are such talented individuals. This tour is to support their upcoming release of their third record Dancing for the Death of an Imaginary Enemy. When, oh, when will this new album of theirs finally grace our presence??



P.S. Since I am currently sans camera, I woke up my old + trusty Nikon CoolPix from its year-long hibernation + said, "Psst! You're coming with me to the show because you know I can't go to an Ours show empty-camera-handed." It didn't perform it's best during the set, but at least the people I gave the camera to for the aftershow photos weren't too shabby. Of course, my photo with Jimmy didn't turn out the greatest. Ah well. I'll just have to look forward till the next time we meet. :)

.:* IT'S SNOWING! *:. Hoorah! Hoorah! I was driving out of the parking garage late tonight on the way home from work when I witnessed the light dusting of the first snowflakes settling on the roads. The only type of snowfall that I've witnessed since I moved was the heavy + hyperactive type that would peg you in the eye if you weren't careful. But, tonight, it was just so peaceful + quiet--the kind of snowfall that you would see in any of those Harry Potter movies [except subtract x-amount of feet of snow]. It was so nice that I went back outside to take a walk in it while making bootprints up + down the sidewalk [that's right, you heard me. *bootprints*, as in cowboy boots, son].

J is borrowing my camera, so the whole time I had to say to myself, "Just enjoy it. Don't worry about not having your camera to document the tiny snowflakes. With the snow falling until 5AM + the weather staying in the low 20s, the snow should still be there by morning; THEN you could borrow the company camera + shoot some snowflakes tomorrow." See the nutty things I think of? There were very few people out walking, so it was really nice to look behind me + see that my prints were the only ones on the sidewalk. Mazzy will have a fluffy, white comforter the next time I go out there, which is only after a few hours from now.

Must. Sleep.

"Woooow." This is great for my tiny apartment. Don't imagine sitting in it for a long movie, but it seems ideal for those few [haha, more like zero] times when I have more than 3 people at my place. ;) Now, where can I get one of those?

*drool on both your skills!* I discovered 2 very talented artists out there that I feel deserve another plug or two on das interneten via my bloggity blog. Makes me want to break out my sketch pads again. *bigsigh*
