A few months back, I spoke of MTV and CTV’s joint partnership in creating a uniquely Canadian reality show. Their answer, Peak Season, which is set to premiere both in Canada and abroad in late February. They have finally come out with an official trailer detailing the events to come in the tourist town of Whistler, BC.
Here it is…
So this may be the most bizarre blog I’ve ever posted and that’s fine, but I want to start a FLASH MOB!
Watching videos on youtube, I see how intense and in the moment they are. It makes me happy to see such an enormous group of strangers coming together for a single cause- even if said cause is meaningless. It doesn’t matter because having that amount of people together at once I think is meaning enough.
So I vote we start a flash mob in Ottawa. I have no idea for what or what we should do – pillow fights and Michael Jackson tributes are kind of old news but I’m sure we can think of something. Any Ideas?
1) Go to Class- Unless you can watch your class online or if the professor teaches directly from the textbook. In this case reading the textbook is all you really need.
2) Actually do your reading and highlight along the way. This will make cramming for midterms (They creep up so quickly), a lot easier. There is no escaping reading- it’s a MUST!
3) Make a close friend in every class, one that won’t mind if you photocopy their notes and one that you can harass whenever you’ve missed a class.
4) If you feel like not handing in an assignment because you’re lazy or know you’ll do bad- do it anyway. Even if you get 30% it’s still better than a zero. I did assignments the day of without editing or knowing what I was doing and somehow got an A. Twice in fact!
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON TO LEARN FROM ME
5) In Exams make sure you sit in the right row and don’t go high!
I Sat in the wrong one and didn’t even notice until I had handed it in. This creates a lot of extra work contacting department heads to re write your exam. It’s also hard to find an excuse for writing the wrong exam without noticing. Plus this means you just have to write one more exam than necessary.
Top Ten Keys to Living on Your Own Tomorrow!
Every once in a while I hear a band that I need to hear every second of my life for the next few weeks. Right now, that band is Miike Snow. I don’t remember where or who got me into them, but however it happened, I am grateful.
Things have been tiring lately. I’m in that “life” rut, where I want to clone myself, sleep for a few years while “I” work and then wake up to reap the benefits while still looking young/hot. When the time (often) comes for a serious pick-me-up, Miike Snow blares from the speakers and I can smile for a while. I’m not saying they will solve your problems, but they will definitely make you feel like things will be okay.
I recommend: Song For No One, Plastic Jungle, Burial and Sylvia.
Tuesday night and my roommates tell me we are going to a cool bar with sick DJs on an outdoor patio. Optimistically, I Imagine a rooftop sky bar overlooking the city. But no, it was more like a restaurant patio in front of the Parliament buildings- not as classy as I had hoped.
After a few gin and gingers and an entire pitcher of Stella to myself, my confidence soars. I find myself talking to a girl at our table. She begins telling me she’s German but her family moved to Ohio and now she’s in Ottawa going to Algonquin. I’m not what you’d call a Don Juan; Kinda shy, a little unsure of myself, but tonight’s plan seems like it might work out.
As the night progresses, she begins telling me about her boyfriend. Oh No, right? Well in my mind I thought it wouldn’t be a problem, I mean she was pretty inebriated.
We end the night with a drunken dance where she repeatedly tries to dip me against my will. Keep in mind this girl was maybe half my height if she’s lucky. We begin walking back to Sandy Hill when she insists we need to go to the METRO. There she finds fettuccine Alfredo and even buys me one too.
At her place she pops her fettuccine in the microwave and as soon as it’s finished she grabs a fork and says, “Okay I’m going to my room, goodnight”, leaves and shuts the door. I, drunk as fuck and still in a good mood, pop mine in and then sit and eat with her roommates as they watch Alfred Hitchcock’s, BIRDS.
I finish and thank them for letting me enjoy my meal and continue on my way home. I am strolling down the street when I notice a cat in the corner of my eye. I look down and suddenly realized that it’s not a cat. It’s a skunk. I start running and so does he, both of us managing to avoid a fatal collision.
Well, I didn’t get any but at least I was fed right?

I fancy myself a responsible person. I work more than two jobs, go to school, keep a social life, work with my parents and keep it real -all at the same time. However, I recently found myself with a full two days off from everything and instead of lounging and relaxing, I completely destroyed myself.
Do you ever have moments like that? Where you know you’re making the worst decision for yourself, but you’re kind of just like, “Eh. Fuck it.”? I didn’t just drink. I didn’t just smoke. Instead I inhaled alcohol. I probably gave myself cancer. I was naked more than anyone should ever be, and with no regret or shame. In the moment, I felt great.
On the other hand, the next morning, when you’re hungover and everyone is reminding you of how you thought the Truffle Shuffle
was the coolest dance move, and how you skipped out on a threesome because, “I’m just too classy for muff diving” , while you’re praying to god the poorly decided Taco Bell combo doesn’t make a cameo appearance in the toilet, you start to hate yourself more and more.
I went back to work with a hangover that felt like crucifixion and a nausea that was definitely related to the second trimester drink baby in my stomach. But I like my job. I like my life. With a few moments of extreme disagreement with my parents and a completely FUBAR sleep schedule, everything is under control. So why do I do it? I think it’s because I’m a naturally self-destructive person with fear of failure. I push myself to extreme limits just to see if I can take it. Or maybe I’m bullshitting myself into a more profound reason, instead of stating what may be alcoholism. Who knows?
What’s the craziest thing you’ve done while intoxicated?
Why do you do it?
Do you think I have a problem?
Do you think YOU have a problem?
