sdubeau:
My friend Dana has a great live album out now - she’s a local musician and photographer from my city, living in Halifax, with a spectacular voice! It’s only $5, and you can download it here. Give her a listen!
If you want to see some of her photos, her blog is http://whatdanasaid.tumblr.com/.

Round and Round.
Day 66.
Fuzzy, blurry, going crazy. I said better days were ahead. I quit regretting and stressing today. We got a chocolate fountain at work. (seriously, come see us now!) It’s kind of foolish, along with that we have a coffee maker that uses individual packaged coffee things(in plastic). I feel like we’re going in the wrong direction. Isn’t todays business all about...
Better Days Ahead.
Day 65.
I hate today. It was a roller-coaster of life that didn’t need to happen. Needless to say, changes are in effect. Tomorrow will be better.
Over.
Day 65.
The days will get brighter, and the nights hotter. It’s coming, you can’t stop it.
The Hills.
Day 64.
Today was okay. Work sucked, but the construction work is almost over (come see us now…)Then I went sledding and for some delicious chow times as my Cousins house in Brookfield. Let me start off by saying their house is ridiculous and perplexing. The floors are hand painted.. but with designs that are mind blowing. She said it was supposed to be a show house, which kind of makes...
From the Balcony.
Day 63.
I get the sneaky suspicion that Spring is right around the corner. The colours of the houses next to the dirty melting snow are starting to pop. I like it. Spring number two in Halifax. I can see the garbage bags and bottles my landlord aid would be cleaned up in October from my deck. It adds to the cement wall that faces towards me…
I might be ready.
Pot Roast.
Day 62.
Warhol much?
Neil made pot roast. It was delicious. What more can I say?
little cat.
big cat.
this makes me think of viki, and how much I miss her.
matt was stoked on the pot roast.
roomies.
The Big Time.
Day 61.
I live in a shady building. It’s been described as a “crack motel I stayed at in Montreal once” before. That was pleasant. The building its self smells like illicit drugs, cigarettes and amazing smelling food. It’s decorated with random framed copy’s from the “Group of Seven”. It’s a secured building and my neighbors don’t mind the...

Day 55.
I made a poster today. Finally putting some skills to use eh? I figured out how to “emboss” the letters that was a treat! Lemme tell you! Then I went to work early because I was called in.. My break is almost over, and all I can do for the next 4 days of it is work.. One of the construction workers asked me if I was on vacation today, I told him I have to go on vacation in...
Regal Beagles.
Day 54.
Today was a fun day. I helped out the very talented and all around awesome guys from the Regal Beagle Band today. They needed some shots for promotion and all that good stuff, and I needed a coffee. SO the boys took me down to the “deep south” end (Lukes words…) to a train bridge. This got me excited, who doesn’t love a train bridge, right? When they picked me up...
Nothing, really.
Day 53.
Whatever happens, we made it.
Staycation.
Day 52.
SO today was the first day of my winter/spring break. Again college, with the random breaks when I least expect them; potentially when I most need them. I woke up early for a person who had nothing to do. Then I cleaned, and then I recorded some tunes on my recording thing (technical term btw). I’ve been meaning to start this recording process so I would have something to give to...
Lucky 13.
Day 50.
I left my house at 5:30 am this morning, I just got home at 10pm. I cannot wait for pay day is all I can say. I realized today, I’m coming on a lot of 1 year anniversary’s. My first day at Smart Set, My first day at Sobeys. My first solo show, and most importantly my first day moved out of my parents house. I’ll reflect on that more when it comes, but so you know...
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Day 49.
I got some very exciting news today. Things are looking up for me.
Ferry Boats.
Day 48.
I took the Ferry to school today. I used to take the ferry to school at the end of photo, but then I just never got back into the habit of it, mainly because I had no Meg’s to walk with and drink coffee with. The weather is getting nicer out and I don’t mind the bus ride and short jaunt to the terminal. It’s almost relaxing.
One of these days, I’m going to walk...
Happy Birthday!
Day 47.
WOAH! Dad is 47 on day 47…. woah…
(this is from x-mas but oh well…)
:)
Battles.
Day 46.
So, I made dinner for my dad today. I made spaghetti. It was awesome, just so you know. It’s his birthday tomorrow, so that was of gift to him. He’s finally the age I always thought he was. I’m not very good with ages of people, never have been really. I always (since I was 12…) thought my dad was 45-46. Like honestly, he just never aged. I didn’t think this...
Lovers Quarrel.
Day 45.
It’s a grey V-Day. I’m not a par-taker of this love fest. Consumerism at its finest I do believe. Chocolates, roses, candy hearts. Maybe I’m just a cynic.
Take take take all you want, and break break break all the hearts.
Loud Sound.
Day 43.
I cleaned my house like a mad woman today. Then I had some people over to drink and warm up the house. House warming? It was great. I love me people, they’re great people.
Killer.
Flash, two, three.
Day 42.
I figured out a repeat flash option on my Camera today. I’ve had this camera for about 2 years now and still don’t know all its amazing awesome functions. This one will be useful in low light situations. OR ! If had just one light and a few people. ooooo the possibilities!
lose control.
Apple Pie. Round 2
Day 41.
SO, I made another apple pie today. ONLY, I made the crust an er’ thang!
http://www.dltk-teach.com/alphabuddies/recipe/apple_pie_recipe.htm
Easy as Pie was never more accurate. Okay, so I know it’s square… but WHO CARES! It’s PIE!! PIE!!!!! I’ve never been so stoked on life as when I made this bad boy. Not burnt or anything. I do have to admit I have to...
CoHO
Day 40.
The CoHO with Norma Macdonald and Keith Mullins. I’m starting to feel at home when I go to the Company House now. It’s one of my favorite venues to play at.
I’m happy that Norma asked me to open for her! She’s awesome, I love her music and killer lyrics. http://www.myspace.com/normamacdonald . Rep that Local talent.
faceless, or not.
Cook 'er.
Day 37.
Death. Sunday. Superbowl? I want chips and dip. I worked 22 hours this weekend. my feet feel like they’re going to fall off. Lovely.
I told a girl today my commitment to money outweighs my commitment to having a life. That might be sad… HAH
Done, we are done.
Fake Face.
Day 36.
I work at a clothing store. I like it there, I just hate the persona I have with customers. Though customer service Dana is a happy Dana, she’s very annoying.
Fake it, baby.
Post Script
Day 35.
The start of another weekend. What can I say, I’ll live by this TV at night. I’m back on track, little life outside of school and work now.
sucked in.
Snowed in.
Day 33.
It snowed, and snowed, and snowed. We got to go home early from school. I feel like I have less interesting things to day these days. It’s not that I’m not doing things, I am, I just don’t know how to put these things into words. I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’m going to do in the next couple of months when I’m out school. Montreal is on my mind,...
Groundhog Day
Love it.
ouroboring:
Is the best holiday. We don’t get many days devoted to folk divination anymore. Other days I would like to see:
Tea leaf reading day
Scrying your future husband in a mirror at midnight day
Spinning a cat widdershins around your head and throwing it into the sea to cause a storm day
Concentrate.
Day 32.
I can’t for the life of me concentrate today. I want to make apple pie something fierce, I have 2 bags of apples, and a recipe I found on line, now just to actually do it.. I guess I need a pie pan now to.. Unless I made it more like apple pie in a square shape, I could do that I think..
There’s that feeling again..
Month 1.
Day 31.
The last day of the month. I’m pretty happy with the progress.

Day 30.
I spent today, after work of course, skating with my family. I’ve found a new love for this oval in the middle of Halifax. I want to spend every day I can there. ots of people though, not a big fan of that, but I’ll deal.
Sister, Nephew, Mom, Me. :)
Busses.
Day 29.
So, sometimes I take the bus. I do live in the city. Some people may not enjoy taking the bus because you have to rely on someone else to get you where you’re going; but for me, I like the fact that I don’t have control over the speed at which I’m getting somewhere. I mean, there is the whole time schedule thing, but I don’t think anyone really counts on that....
