"punk rock saved my life"
been listening to a lot of punk rock lately. saw that quote on a sticker on a friend's (?) guitar. adorable.

listening to RVIVR. fucking amazing.

as some of you may know, I moved recently. my new place is awesome, cool roommates and I dig it. we are closer to the commons and a nicer area of town, and we even have a backyard. my room is small (compared to the last which was way too big), but I've made it fun!

jake is quite comfortable here too:

I've been slow on stretching my ears. at 2 inches right now, but that's about to change, since a friend from montreal just sent some stunning jewellery:

went to a show on friday. didn't know many folks, but it was alright. I'm becoming okay with standing alone and not talking to folks, whereas before I would have left the show if that happened. I also talked to some people I didn't know and stepped outside my comfort zone. on the plus, the bands were all pretty amazing, I dig the halifax music scene a lot.

last night I went and hung out with some other grad students - something that never really happens - but it was awesome, we played catan and watched the last twilight movie - it ruled. don't judge me. hahah.

there was a 'snow storm' where we got a little bit of snow and the city pretty much shut down. kind of silly but has encouraged me to get more school work done.

the office.

It's sunday and we're in the lab. took over an hour to walk here, jake got lots of snow playing time, and now it's time for naps on a sweater bed/work for me. coffee is made, here we go!
