#1 – This exchange:
Him: “Have you considered getting something practical?”
Me: “No.”
#2 – The fact that this music industry funding debate (shitstorm) has finally nudged me into checking out Japandroids. Damn, they’re good.
#3 – This Japandroids lyric: “We used to dream, now we worry about dying.”
#4 – Awesome businesses in my neighbourhood. Multiple Organics for fresh, local, healthy food – which today meant raspberries, my most favourite fruit of all time; Henhouse for the vibe and the jukebox and the grilled cheese and the brunch and the good-looking patrons; NACO, for the nacondas (which I eat at least once a week) and the vibe and the amazing tequila drinks.
#5 – The point when you’re talking to someone new and the awkward stage suddenly ends and you can have a proper, engaged conversation.
#6 – The fact that I’m flying to Ottawa in one week. Flying! I hate flying. But I’m excited about getting to Ottawa in an hour.
#7 – My new tattoo. Yep, it’s still rad. Good news.
#8 – Katy Perry’s covers of “Black and Gold” and “Electric Feel.”
#9 – The men in suits dancing in Sam Sparro’s video for “Black And Gold” (which I can’t embed.) And the chorus. That chorus! Shit, it’s good.
