Long Days, Long nights.

Today was my first official "night shift" at the Music Store. It was very productive to work and not have to stop doing your tasks and help someone find something, or to ring items in at the cash desk. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy helping people. I am able to make them smile most of the time. If you have other tasks that need to be done, the people always come first, and the lists of tasks tend to grow and grow...

Plus, you can listen to any off-colour music you may want to and watch a crazy, zany comedian in his #1 hit comedy dvd Vicious Circle, which uses words like "F**K Tards" and other phrases which may be offensive to the general public.

I have these shifts all week. Late nights... Anyone up for an inappropriate breakfast? Or Drinks??

On Sunday, the two locations of the Music Store got together for our Christmas Supper. We ate at Aroma in the Radisson Hotel. The food was really fun. It's hard to explain. The food is classy, the names of the entrees aren't. For example, I ordered chicken stuffed with some exotic cheeses and some kind of bitter greens that really blended with the cheeses nicely. The name of the dish... The Padded Bra.

Really.

Grade school humor. At a classy restaurant.

After supper we all went back to my Boss' for some refreshments and free stuff. I walked out of there with 4 new dvd's, a Martin Scorsese Box Set, and 15 cd's. It was crazy the amount of product that we got! Merry Christmas! I stayed and rocked out with the boys until after two. There was some sitar playing, and some crazy techno music sampling, and margaritas. A perfect evening was had by all. (I even got to confess a secret to Enver in the car on a Beer run... it was a goofy night!)

I have a new favorite song. Local group Chimpan-a to Chimpan-z has their first disc called Designs. The song is called Aurora Boreaopus. I love, love, love this song! Go to their MySpace page to hear the song, and then go and buy the record today!

Aurora Boreaopus

The rain falls.
We crash into the waves.
This glorious night explodes into glass.
The way we were...
well we can't avoid this crash.
We watch the stars.
A gentle dance that steals your breath.
A thief in the night.
We blame it all on
but we can't wait for morning
so we send a call for light.
A long way down.
The way we were
well we can't.
It's a long way down.
