Another week of music!

So this was a couple weeks ago now...(I forgot to upload the pictures)...but non the less worth sharing!  Carla and I went to a couple shows, and man was she a trooper!...First was Hot Hot Heat, (I love the lead singers hair!) with Hey Rosetta and this guy who's name I cannot remember, which is sad because it was the most entertaining set ever (Carla do you remember?!)...BECAUSE.....

There was a parachute!  Yea you heart me, a rainbow parachute that bounced balls, and then we all ran under it and had a fantastic dance party.  It was pure magic let me tell you.  There were also glow sticks, and a ridiculous amount of balloons.

And lets not forget the Grinch playing on a giant screen behind him.  His music was a little random...but he was so interactive.  It was a good way to get everyone pumped.  He like danced in the crowed, and climbed on the bar, and got us all singing along! 

My brother was kind enough to chauffeur us around, and after we dropped Carla off he and I decided to head out for some late night Chinese....he made me eat this....I've avoided it the last couple times we've been because well it looks like peaches and some creepy clearish white sauce (yea it looks like EXACTLY what you're thinking...)  but I sucked it up and ate it...and let me tell you, Deep fried Shrimp with Peaches and Salad Sauce is pretty freaking amazing. 

Two days later we decided to go see Caribou.  I can't remember who opened for them because well they just made a lot of electronic noise which gave me a headache......(picture is of Carla texting during a concert...WHO DOES THAT?!!!!....heheh jk...the opening band was really really bad................we needed to be entertained somehow!)

But Caribou was fantastic...the drummer was freaking amazing, I kind of wanted to just sit there and watch him for hours...I seriously love this band!

100th Post AND I made cupcakes

Well it's technically my 112th, but I didn't count the 12 I made in 2007...and although these were made for Jenn's birthday, but what a better way to celebrate 100...than with CUPCAKES!!!!

Jenn always makes everyone cupcakes, so I thought I would surprise her with some really fabulous ones! 

...It took forever!...and I may have filled them a little full....(they were the HUGEST cupcakes EVER)....BUT

THEY WERE DELICIOUS!...like I was kind of surprised.....they tasted better than your normal Betty Crocker box mix...even in the eyes of Jenn the cupcake queen!...(she made me a McDonalds cupcake cake for my birthday!)

And they looked SO pretty on the inside :)  I was quite proud!!!!

Fieldtrip!

I can't lie...I kind of love school...we went on our second field trip of the year...who knew you got to take field trips in University?! ...we had a blast...sorry for the picture over load.....

 Thigh high rubber boots...very stylish!

...we found a dead muskrat...and made some observations in the name of science....poor guy...we said some words and properly covered him. 

rainboots!

...poor muskrat :(

Don't fall in Joe!

Very pretty scenery....Hawreluk Park is pretty magical this time of year! I LOVE FALL :)

...our lovely TA!

There were TONS of geese....and lots of poop to go along with them.

...It was actually so much fun!  I hope we get to fit in another field trip...but I think all the fun might be over for the semester :( 

Tune Tuesday - Broken Bells

I've always really liked DJ Dangermouse. The Grey Album was one of my favorites for awhile...for those of you not familiar, it was a mash up of Jay-Z's Black Album and the Beatles' White Album. (Example here) However his pair-up with James Mercer of the Shins to form Broken Bells is like the best thing EVER. This song makes me so happy everytime I hear it. It's all kinds of magic :)
