tonight was the justin timberlake concert.

wow.

it was amazing.

will post a full concert count post tomorrow to do the show proper justice of its/his awesomeness.

must go to sleep now.

hopefully have nice dreams about JT.

i'm addicted

...to mtv shows. their brand of faux/quasi reality shows are addictive.

might have started with laguna beach. watching spoiled rich kids usually pisses me off (ie. my super sweet 16), but the drama on laguna was hilarious.

then the hills, the laguna spin off. what was lauren thinking dating jason again! now season two is starting soon. i'm going to try not to watch it.

rob & big. who doesn't want to just hang out with them because they seem like so much fun. i feel sorry for drama though, always gets picked on and has to clean up the mess rob & big make.

now there's the new show called 24/7 following a bunch of guys in hollywood. kinda hooked on that too. a group of friends who all do different things (club promoter, musician, actor, director, music producer, etc.) and their day-to-day life.

and today, i just watched an episode of dancelife. i didn't think i would like it because i'm not a jennifer lopez fan. but i can't resist a show about dancing (except dancing with the stars).

and the great thing about mtv is that they will repeat these shows constantly. so even though i have no idea when these shows are actually on, if i turn to mtv on the weekend, it never fails that i will be able to catch all these shows.

i think i may lose brain cells each time i watch this channel.

maui countdown - 14 days.

upcoming shows

jan 30 - justin timberlake at the ACC. so excited about this one!

feb 2 - billy talent (with rise against, moneen, and anti-flag) at the ACC. not very often do i want to catch the opening acts at concerts anymore, but i'm almost as excited about seeing rise against as i am seeing billy talent. almost.

feb 24 - chantal kreviazuk and raine maida at massey hall. kinda interested in what raine will perform. seen him plenty of times with our lady peace. hope he does some OLP classics.

feb 25 - ten second epic at the mod club. i think they're opening up for another band, but i really just want to catch ten second epic. gotta support the edmonton talent.

apr 4 - tokyo police club at the mod club. should be a good show.

life is good.

yep, this confirms it. i have no life. i think actually taking the time to do this thing already tells me i have no life. oh well, at least i've seen some good movies...and some bad ones too.

dallas in edmonton video #2

singing the newest alexisonfire single at his city and colour show in edmonton. kinda digging the whole 'prisoner' look. :)

love it.

dallas in edmonton video #1

youtube is acting up, i've tried 3 times to post this video, and it never worked, then all of a sudden they all appeared at once. oops.

anyways, this video is for michael, and also my random blogger friend.

this is dallas singing that lionel richie song in edmonton. he sang it in calgary as well. definitely better than that guy singing karaoke on your blog michael.

so funny. i wish i was there.

in the words of destiny's child....bills bills bills

when i was home for the holidays, i was at the bay pretty much every other day. sometimes we would go to 2 stores within the same day. everyone wanted to use my discount, which is fine with me, i love shopping.

i jokingly said to rose one day that my next hbc credit card bill is going to come in a legal sized envelope because it's going to be so big.

i came home to this waiting in the mail box.....

yes, my bill came in an 8.5x11 envelope. i have never seen or experienced this before. it's not like the bill was actually that many pages, but it still came in this big envelope.

i have reached a new echelon of shopping where a regular letter-sized envelope cannot contain the size of my bill. at least most of the stuff was not mine.

workout ideas

this is a post to ask for suggestions.

for those of you who don't know, i'm going to hawaii for a week in february. i'm super excited about it for a few reasons:

a. i've never been to hawaii before.
b. i love vacation time.
c. i won't be at work.
d. i'm going with 4 other good friends from home (although we now live in toronto, calgary, vancouver and edmonton).
e. girls trip!

so hawaii means bathing suit territory. obviously, it's not realistic to lose dramatic amounts of weight in a month, and in no way am i delusional to think so. but does anyone have any ideas of things i could do to be a little more active this month? i don't have a gym membership, and in no way do i intend to sign up for one, so going to the gym is out of the question.

i walk to and from work everyday, so that's a good 40 mins of walking a day i do. this week, i have walked up my stairs in my building when i get home from work, and i live on the 15th floor.

any ideas of what else i can do?

scrubs musical

zach braff + singing about poo = hilarious.

watch the scrubs musical on jan 18th.

so i lied.....

so it's not very often random people find my blog, read it, and actually comment on it. so when someone did, i'm more than happy to oblige and do yet another aof/dallas post.

went home over the holidays, which was nice because i haven't seen my friends in almost 5 months, so it's nice to catch up in person rather than over the phone. and since most of us moved out of edmonton, it's even more rare for all of us to be back home at the same time.

one of my friends gave me a belated birthday present, and she knows me so well because this is what she got me from eBay.....

a signed picture of dallas!!! ok, so there are tonnes of fake stuff on eBay (just ask my brother who bought knock off razor blades!), but that's a picture of him signing the picture. so the seller could have forged a whole bunch of pictures and sent the one of dallas signing it to every person, but that's not the point! it's a cool gift. thanks sim!

this weekend is also the weekend dallas is doing some city and colour shows in calgary and edmonton. i bought tickets for my friends in calgary for their christmas present, so i'm excited for them to go. i was going to buy my sister and brother-in-law tickets to the edmonton show, but they're going to a wedding instead. this is a family wedding, so i guess they have to go. but a cousin's wedding versus a city and colour show, that's a tough choice.

my cousin marco works at a skate shop in edmonton. and it turns out his manager is in a band, and somehow knows dallas green. when i was at the store buying something, marco says "craig knows dallas green." and he asks me if i'm going to the show and that he could introduce me to him. well, sadly, i am not going to the show, and i will not be introduced to him. but honestly, i know i would make a fool out of myself. thanks marco for bringing up my unnatural obsession to a complete stranger. but thanks for giving me a discount at your store!

ok, so i think this is truly the end of my aof/dallas posts. until the next one......
