coachella update

i know it's been a few weeks since I got back from Coachella, and after reluctantly unpacking (and taking a little over a week to unpack a tiny suitcase) I just didn't have the energy to update. Anyway... Coachella was awesome. TV on the Radio, aside from being my favorite band, was my favorite performance of the festival. My only complaint was the incessant amount of moshing that interrupted my enjoyment. Lupe Fiasco was great, as was Band of Horses (although I was only able to catch a couple of their songs.) Girl Talk and MSTRKRFT were, as always, sweet dance parties (John Legend came on stage during MSTRKRFT.) The Tings Tings and Peter, Bjorn and John: good. Late of the Pier - it was the first time I had heard any of their songs, and they were also good. I was a bit disappointed with MIA though, to be honest. Aside from the sweet bands, I'm going to have to say that I had the best fish tacos there! And I can't stop thinking about having a Chelata (Beer, Clamato, Salt and Lime.) People watching was also one of my favorite activities -- just hanging out at the food court (field?) watching people walk by with interesting outfits, accessories, etc..Anyhooo...That's about all I can think of writing at the moment. My mind is still clouded over from a concoction of Guinness and Strongbow mixed with sleepiness.
'til next time.

this past week...

I am feeling uninspired.

california dreamin'

went to Indio, California for a few days to take in the Coachella Music and Arts Festival. What a great mix of people getting together to enjoy awesome music! I'm already missing the free living and the sun, sun, sun!

I'll post some highlights after I finish unpacking, which is one of the things I most hate doing!

who am i?

that's one secret I'll never tell.

Before we do any more posts on this blog, I'm going to begin first with a very tiny introduction. I'm the S of CJS. I'm currently in limbo, having just finished a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Alberta with still no clue as to which direction I want my life to head. I'm biding my time working at a bank and...well, blogging online, I suppose. I guess for me this blog will be a little chronicle of where my life is headed this week, month, or year, apart from giving me something else to do with my time.

Anyhow, that is all I feel like sharing tonight. 'Til next time. G'nite!
