Catchy Titles are Catchy!

Yay! So just out of the blue I thought of a real name for this blog of mine, borrowing on some 90's lyrics from Oasis. Actually 90's music has been popping up a lot recently it seems. First I got around to loading a bunch of my old music off CD's and onto iTunes so I could make a masterful playlist for work. I dare you not to smile and sing along to old school backstreet boys. It makes the day go by faster. Then I found the 90's alternative/grunge station on Sirius. It's amazing. I love how music immediately brings you back to a moment when you hear it. Nineties tunes are especially reminiscent, high school is when I first started really listening to music, being interested in lyrics, in bands and what they had to say. I remember Friday nights needing to catch the Much Music Countdown to see who was in the top spot. Have you watched it recently? What the heck has happened to music videos? Video killed the radio star, but iTunes youtube have killed the video countdown. So anyway... back onto track... Lot's of nineties music, and then I get an update from OLP that they are coming to Edmonton in October, playing with I Mother Earth. That's my favorite band and Derek's favorite band, together, like it's 1999 or something crazy. Of course we need to go!

In other news, last weekend marked the end of summer. We went on the last camping trip of the year. We went to Hillard's bay on Lesser Slave Lake. It was amazing, beautiful sunny days, crisp fall nights. It was the week after the long weekend so we practically had the campground to ourselves. It actually gets dark at a decent time now too, meaning a campfire at 930 at night is possible, instead of waiting until 11 or so when it is dusk mid summer. The only downfall, once again, was lack of boat. We borrowed an inflatable one we could bring in the box of the truck, but with only an electric motor we couldn't get too far and definitely didn't hit any great fishing holes. I probably caught the smallest fish in the lake, my one catch of the weekend.

We also turned on the furnace and took the air conditioner out of the window. Pretty soon there will be frost on the car in the morning and the need for sweaters. The one bright side to this change in season is I think I need to go boot shopping. Brown leather boots are needed to round out my wardrobe. Maybe a sweater or two...
