Before the Firing Squad

"so...what are your intentions with Elaine?" - Tout Le Gang member, Sylvia - October 22, 2005.

Well, I must apologize for falling behind on the blogging. The last few days have been just craziness!

Anyway, without further a due, let me bring you up to speed on my activities:

Well, as noted previously, I attended a wedding in Toronto this past weekend. All in all, quite the weekend! Lots of fun and filled with surprises I must say! A friend of the family's was getting married (the daughter of Toronto's Anglican Church Bishop) and it was a beautiful ceremony. The choir was phenomenal. Hearing such wonderful music always triggers something inside me...call it my form of spiritual cleansing. Anyway, the family of the newlyweds were very kind and welcoming and threw a nice reception.

The wedding wasn't the only event that would be taking place that day, as it turns out that I'd be the target of questioning from the infamous "Tout Le Gang"..aka the close friends of Elaine's parents. I guess word had got round about me and had caught the interest and curiosity of the members. So in their traditional manner, they proceeded to lynch me with questions. lol...all in good fun of course. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. For the record, all of them are really nice people. I'm really glad I had an opportunity to get to know them.

So yeh, weekend was definitely good times. Sported the new suit, which fished in a lot of compliments. And in addition, the relaxing time was very welcomed.

As for this week, its been chock full of stuff. Last night saw MIT's first coffeehouse and Zine Launch, which went over really well (cheers to Christine for making the event happen). Lots of great performers last night. After last night's event, there are talks about forming an MIT supergroup of musicians...why not right? seeing as most of the performers were from student council. lol. As for the Zine, the vibe has been pretty positive so far. a few hiccups here and there that i had to deal with, but other than that, its been pretty good. Finally got our stand back in the North Campus Building...which means all that's left for me to tie up is getting our stand back in the UCC building and getting our Advertising team off the ground.

Today's events have been a little minimal. Had Actionscripting class with Ramon as per usual for Tuesdays---new news though! got asked to do presentation duties for Fanshawe's multimedia program for next tuesday. that'll be good...again, something to put down in the resume. On the Zine front, had to address some emails concerning material omissions..alas the crappier side of being an editor, but part of the job nonetheless. Tonite saw our first official MIT pub night at Joe Kool's. While the event was well publicized and organized..the turnout was a little less than stellar. About a handful of people showed up, most of which were members from student council. At the end of the day though, i must commend Christine. Its a tough job being VP Events, especially trying to find the right time to schedule events. I still had fun though. Got a chance to chat with my fellow council members and get to know them a bit, so that was good.

Anyway, that about wraps it up. I gotta go and finish reading "Sleepy Hollow" for class tomorrow. Until next time.
