summer in review.

I am one guilty human. Guilty of not posting on my blog in many moons. But, hey, blogs are so 2007 or something right? I should be on that twitterbook train or something by now. Alas, I enjoy combing back through my old posts, so I should try to keep it up for future me's sake.

Overall, the summer of 2009 has been very eventful summer with a lot of life-changing twists and turns. I will list some of these in reverse-chronological order, as the most important has happened recently.

Engaged (August 29, 2009)

I dropped the M-bomb late this summer. :) I proposed to Susan on a weekend evening at my parents summer house in Northern Bay. She really liked my selection of ring, which I picked out in secret.

We're planning on getting hitched autumn 2010, most probably out of the country someplace.

The most prominent options at this time of writing are either a Mediterranean or Caribbean Cruise.

Modest Mouse Concert in Halifax (August 17th, 2009)

This summer I traveled to see one of my most favourite bands perform. It was a really really warm night, in a stadium filled with passing-out people. To boot, the band had flu's, but they put off hell of a show none-the-less.

For the record, here is the set-list they performed:

Dramamine + Improv Jams
Satellite Skin
Invisible
Gravity Rides Everything
Education
Autumn Beds (banjo!)
Dashboard
Doin The Cochroach
The World At Large
Satin In A Coffin (banjo!)
Float On
Spitting Venom
Parting of the Sensory (crazy trumpet and fiddle work!)
The View
Blame it on the Tetons

Encore
Paper Thin Walls
3rd Planet
I Came as a Rat

Volkswagen Rabbit (June 5th, 2009)

I purchased new wheels to replace my recently deceased Dodge Neon. The replacement came in the form of a 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit with all the trimmings. I splurged a little bit and got the sunroof and rapper-sized wheels *gang-sign*.

So far it's been a blast. I put about 5k on it over the summer with nothing but amazing things to say about the car.

...

Besides a lot of work-stuff and typical life-things, I think that encompasses the large events of summer 2009. Tune in next year.
