Gaga Pt.2

Anything that requires dressing up (or down?) in glitter, leather, tinfoil, pepsi cans, wigs, caution tape, and anything skin tight is always fun.

It was my sister's 22nd birthday on Friday and, in celebration of this big day, she threw a Lady Gaga/Glam rock themed party. People got really into their costumes, which was awesome, even the guys (see picture). There were some full out amazing costumes there, and everyone had a good time. At one point, there were at least twenty people full on belting out a whole selection of songs, such as Don't Stop Believing, Bohemian Rhapsody, Baby, and Fuck You. Then, the birthday girl got serenaded, Disney style. That is, with You'll Be In My Heart. Yeah. It was a good time.

So for Hilary: Happy Gaga Day! (every and any day can be Gaga day)







Also, Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes is one of my favorite songs (like, ever) and I stumbled upon this remix a few days ago. It's kind of weird at first, but it actually kind of grew on me. Check it out:



PS. the Lipdub still isn't out :( Come on October 22nd!

Looking at things from a new angle

So, for two weeks, I had an awesome time and really made this summer a memorable one. Not only was there the sweet vacation, the fun activities, much (MUCH) festivities, and meeting the family, but those two weeks were really cool because I got to experience things in my life that I found totally normal through the eyes of people who had never seen these things before. Whether it be the island I've spent just about every summer of my life on, the (yes-exceedingly awesome, which I didn't really notice til then) house of our family friends, or even just my good ol' North Van mountains, seeing people react to these things in such an amazed way was really cool. I got to travel my beautiful British Columbia, and I actually could feel myself seeing these things in a whole new light. In these two weeks, I not only realized how lucky I am to have the family I do, but also to live the life I do in the beautiful province I was born in.

Lookin' at things in a new way.

This song was the first dance song at my cousins wedding. So sweet!
