Awesome Tunage for the Summer

I don't know how behind I am, but apparently we have a new radio station here in Vancouver!

100.5 The Peak plays aaaawesome rock - Sam Roberts, Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire, Metric, and all sorts of fun and indie rock. I pretty much have this station on all the time at home, and all the time at work - which I can do because you can listen online!

The music you listen to in the summer is so important. It's the soundtrack, right? So if you're listening to crap music all summer, your summer probably won't be so good. I urge you to go turn this station on right now. I would like to guarantee that it will make your summer better, but... I don't have that kind of power.

You can find The Peak online at www.thepeak.fm. And no, they have no affiliation with The Peak, SFU's student newspaper.

Sad Recession Time

So that title is probably not what is expected in my blog, even I think I should write something else... but this must be said!
So as I drove past a Milestone's today, I looked inside at the low-lighting, the leather(esque) bench seats, the diners dining and the generally cozy atmosphere, and it made me realize how little I have been eating out lately. I was a little sad to realize that my high life isn't quite so high as it was just six months or a year ago. Shall I blame the recession? Well, why not.
So many things have changed for me in the last year (jobs, jobs and more jobs!), and I supposed I could blame my lifestyle changes on that. But I won't. I'm going to blame that ever-useful scapegoat, the recession!
As well, by this time next weekend I'm sure I will have spent a little time in one of those cozy, dimly-lit chain restaurants that I love so much. Having a glass of wine and splitting an appy with one of my lovely friends. I can hardly wait!
