Web Site Hit Counters

Welcome and good morning to you!

My sleep patterns are coming back to me ten-fold. I haven't done a workout in three days (last one was a Body Pump at the gym), so I'm feeling wired to do something to release some feel-good hormones (endorphins). I also left my Symbicort inhaler at Suffer System, so the potentiality of having asthma was in the back of my mind since Friday. I decided not to hit the gym for those days so I could avoid that occurence.

So, for today, I'm heading to the pharmacy, buying a new Symbicort and getting to Goodlife for a few hours. I'm feeling a weight training session and a run (maybe intervals) are in order.

I'm really enjoying my classes this semester. I feel happy and refreshed knowing I'm making progress with meeting and learning about my professors as well as students in my class. I'm ready and eager to tackle assignments and not feeling overwhelmed like I have been in previous semesters. Maybe it's the change of weather? Read this blogpost by Canadian Heptathlete Jen Cotton on the biological effects of winter hibernation and exercising.

I also have been feeling very blessed with everything that's happening in my life. My work at the paper, my marks in class, meeting the standards of my profs and hanging out with like-minded people who want achievement really bring out the best  all of us, so life is GREAT! It's not perfect, but it's becoming more fun and rewarding...I think we can all attest to that!
As of now, I've done a review on the Tool concert from last Thursday, two interviews (one with a musician and one with two students who travelled to France for a Music Industry Arts conference) and a cd review on Brooke Manning's band "Loom." I feel a new appreciation for ambient electronic that is psychedelic. She is living in Toronto, so an indie artist is always a treat. The name of the album is "Epyllion."

I'm now working on the Decemberists' album, Long Live The King and attending the tribute to Jack Richardson tonight at Aeolian Hall in London. Entrance to this event is $15 if you are a student and $20 for everyone else. I will be writing an article summarizing the night. The awards ceremony is this weekend, and you can find more information here: http://jrma.ca/.
