mixtape club march 2012

Mixtape Club!

we've not really been meeting as much as we'd first decided (monthly) but when we do manage to unite it's always fun and always delicious.


aperole cocktails!

Sweet, sweet beastly!

our lovely host


handsome men I know

fine times, wine times

twins. (not actual twins)


requisite self-photo dumb-face


digging in
we were treated to pasta with a really nice chickpea sauce kind of, I should get that recipe I thought it was real nice...


gluten-free donuts with mint julep ice cream. WHAT. whatwhatwhat.


phone break



classic face. I dig that necklace.




here I am in heaven. obviously.


Yep. I don't know what else to tell you except, get yourself a group of amazing humans and then meet with them for dinner parties and cocktails. then your life will be good.
you're welcome.





look at my dumb smug face.


I'm such a little gremlin pretty much all the time. It's okay it's okay.

Oh yeah guys,
White Panther Girlfriend has a set this Friday (April 20th) at the John Candy Box theatre at the second city training centre (70 peter street) at 9 p.m.
come on over and stuff thankyouuuuuuuu

mixtape club, autumn edition!

Mixtape club this weekend at this bud's house.
I was trying to remember if he has a nickname on here but I'm not sure he does. I called him Dad the entire time we were filming A Small Thing. But that's probably not a nickname that would be easy to explain every time on here...
He wants a princely nickname. Haahahaaaa. classic.



nice

crazy!

Mrs got engaged to Arrow after the last mixtape club which was held at their house. well, the next day. Maybe the two aren't related but maybe they are maybe mixtape club is magic!
Guess who gets to be in the wedding?? THIS GUY. eeee eeee. did I say that already? Maybe I did. Oh well, I'm still excited about it. For an always single kind of a guy, I sure love weddings! also I have a sneaking suspicion that this wedding is going to be out-of-control tasteful and beautiful. Also it is Ukrainian Catholic which means I get to go to church!







Food this time was super good! Haaaaaa as opposed to every other Mixtape Club. I need recipes for everything. Especially the trifle. Fucking so good. gluten-free almond cake up in that shit, ya know? And raspberries and rhubarb! ugh so good.
Yeah no, I'm hungry again forever if that's what we're having.











I'm hosting next and we're trying to find a date where everyone can come. It's the worst! Why do we all suck at being available?

Plan is to do a Cheesbrough Christmas brunch sort of a thing. Probably starting much later than we actually do on Christmas and maybe involving more booze... but similar foods and Christmas spirit, I hope!? It'll be bigger if all my roommates are home, too... can't very well ask them to leave... or can I?













Today? Just watching TV and making crafts, ya know? why the eff not.
I haven't even started decorating for Christmas at all which is kind of bananas since it's into November now and Hallowe'en is really done and so I actually finally have full license to f this place up Christmas-wise. UH HUH.
Maybe I'll get into that this afternoon....
I have a banister to decorate! YES.
Though I will say part of the problem is that I am insanely broke and so even a trip to the dollar store to get christmassing is kind of out of the question. Luckily I have almost every craft supply known to man so I should be able to pull something out of my butt? Hopefully!











the best is when you get a job and then you have to buy new clothes for it which cost a lot of money and also they are on a once a month pay schedule so you're still pretty much effed but you shouldn't be effed because you have jobs!
ughh. classic.







Okay me and Yule-log are going to make a big stirfry now!

all root vegetables all the time

Honestly, I don't know what's wrong with me! Whenever I think about updating I think "no, I just can't right now". For no reason!


hahaa Sweet Beastly's face. So cute.

We had Mixtape Club Dinner Party last night at Mrs's house! I lovelovelove mixtape club, which you've probably gathered if you know me IRL or see me on twitter or fb.
Whatever, I love it.
It's always just such a lovely fucking comfortable time with people I don't get to see nearly enough of but who I loooove so hard.



Mrs. did a really wonderful, stand-up job of accommodating our (my) various dietary restrictions. I basically ate a pound of brie, probably not the best plan but it was so delicious! And there were gluten-free crackers!


Whose red ghost is that? I dunno.

Also, rootbeer floats with coconut-milk ice cream are a genius idea, jfyi.


Arrow got to come because he lives at Mrs's house, not because we're expanding Mixtape Club. Don't get jealous. haha, aww Arrow was being very cute and helpful.










I'm working all week this week except today because I have a show and except Tuesday because I have a class. Improv is costing me all of my dollars. I do love improv, though.
We did a musical class for the first time last week and I guess most of the people did all of the levels through Second City before doing our conservatory program but I've only done classes with Bad Dog and so they have some experience with singing and I really, really don't. My favourite classmate asked me what was wrong last week because I think my nervous were super visible.
The problem with singing is that I wish with all my heart that I were good at it, but I'm really not very strong! Therefore I care too much and it makes me uncomfortable.
It'll be alright, though. I think I'm going to get excellent of singing in character for sure. And I have yet to break out my impression of David Sedaris's impression of Billie Holliday and that's a show-stopper for sure.

 

ooooooo


sorry to those of you who are sick of hipstamatic, it's now mixtape club tradition!

You can't really get a good sense of how nice and wonderfully decorated Mrs. and Arrow's place is from these photos but it's really quite, quite perfect. I'm pretty jealous. It has a lot of stuff in it. I just love stuff.
Sometimes I bring home more stuff and Yulie says "more stuff??" like we don't need 4 new mason jars or some shit. Yahhh right.




I think I might get the Christmas edition of Mixtape Club again this year and if I do I'm going to make it a Christmas brunch and make it all to be just like Christmas morning breakfast in our family! Ohhhh man, that would be so so so fun.

Also, I'm super excited about decorating this house for Christmas! I've never had a banister before! I have to make stockings for my roommates!! aiaiaiaai.
Leave me alone, this is the only way I can get through winter, obviously!


okay byeee gotta go do a show tell me to break my legs thanks byenow
