Being Shipped Off

Ok, so what's with the title?

I'm going to Cowichan for 3 more precious days of this summer. I believe family time is a wonderful thing, but family's like the Dobson's manage to have it with being in a different city from their friends. I've already been to Naramata this summer for 2 weeks and would really like to just be in Nanaimo for the rest of the summer in order to spend time with my great friends before I go off to university.

A recapitulation of the past three days: went to Departure Bay for an ice-cream with Alana and to Woodstream Park, watched 8-mile with Chris and Emily, went to eat peaches @ Barbara's avec Kevin & company. I'd like to thank Alana for the wonderful day I had with her yesterday.

Smallville is the sweetest show. It has action and drama perfectly combined. They don't go overkill on the FX and sometimes they look cheesy, but it doesn't detract from the power of the show. Some of the lines are tacky, but they never seem to take away from the characters. They usually convey exactly what the characters are thinking. I like all of the intertwining conflicts in the show: Clarke vs. Lana, Lana vs. Chloe, Chloe vs. Journalism, Clarke vs. Lex, Lex vs. Lionel, Clarke vs. World, Lex vs. Business. It is sweet. And Lex always manages to burn everyone that tries to scam him in business. I also love the music in it.

And speaking of music. I love that too. All kinds in their own way. Ok, well some music is pretty bad, but I enjoy the influence music has on my life. I bet that this blog post would have turned out differently if I was listening to different music. Music is good for motivating, setting moods, dancing, taking one's mind off of life, sending out political messages, releasing one's emotions, etc.

All this talk about music is inciting me to make some. Kevin, I propose a jam session when I get back from Cowichan Lake.

I intend to learn something new this summer. For now, I'm out.
