My weekends start on Monday!

I've been working real hard.

We got 2 songs done in the studio, "Electric" and "Let's go out".

It's getting colder. Last night we had the first light snowfall. Time to seriously think about a winter jacket!

I've been playing open mics alot more, and enjoying my days off Monday to Wednesday.

I'm also in the process of looking for a new place to move into January 1st. I've also applied for uni come September. Big things are in the making!

Here's a cover of Lykke Li.

WINDSOR, CONCERTS AND MORE!

Tuesday I went down to Windsor to meet Fayze and the gang, and to work on more songs.

In a total of 1 and a half days, we managed to write, track and finalise two new ones!

I also had the time to check out You Say Party! We Say Die! at the Phog Lounge.

I love this band, and they did a good job playing live.

Now I'm back in Toronto, getting ready for another week of hard work.

A photoshoot for What She Said is coming very soon!

MY OFFICIAL 22ND BIRTHDAY PARTY!

So incase you're wondering if I dyed my hair pink or not, the answer is no, I didn't.

My birthday was a wig party, we started at my friend Dunias, and then hitched a ride to the Underground.

It was fun. There were wigs, afros, blondes, brunettes, violets, blues, hair extensions, sprays, glowsticks, hats, tiaras... who could want more?

Thanks to everyone who came down.

Purple Taryn and 'Fro Shannon

Princess Violet

Cap'n Ronan

Le Gang

Sparklers and glowsticks

HELLOOOO THERE!

It's been a while!

I guess it's time for a catchup.

All is well in Canada, it's getting a bit colder and snow is predicted to be on the way by next week. TIME TO BUY SNOW BOOTS!

I've been working... alot. I've got two jobs now, so when I haven't been working I've been doing the everyday chore stuff or sleeping.

I'm also going to open mic nights alot more and doing the solo/folk/acoustic thing. It's been great.

Next week I'm going back to Windsor to record a new song

Life never gets dull here, and it's a blast!

It was my first thanksgiving dinner in Canada a couple of weeks back.

I hung out with my friends and had the best dinner ever!

Marks turkey!

The best meal ever!

We also celebrated halloween on Saturday. It was a night of total chaos, and the funniest and most original costumes I have ever seen!

I ended up getting lost with a perverted priest and a transgender David Bowie, only to bump into the Virgin Mary, the Devil and Lady Gaga. But all was well, because then I found Where's Waldo, a crazy bride, a zombie schoolgirl and a mime and I knew I was safe.
