I don't know if there's some event going on in Toronto this week, but there was a lot of British people in the store throughout the day. Maybe it's just a good time to visit? Shopping at Banana Republic in London is more expensive than shopping here because the Pound is so high.

Speaking of expensive things, my hours at Coach are set and are very crazy. I'm working 8-5 every weekday with training in the evening on two days. The store opens on Friday. I'm so excited to start work there! Purses, messenger bags, trenches, wallets, hand bags, scarves, shoes... New merchandise and I can't use any of it because I'm a man (except for the messenger bags and wallets... but I already have those)! That'll curb my spending habit for sure.

There's a beautiful sunset happening right now. I can actually see it because my Paternal Unit has taken down the sun room. We're under construction in our backyard. The new pool is going in tomorrow apparently. Here are some pictures of the work in progress.

I've posted lyrics to one of my songs called Dancing Without Clothes. The title came from when I was in Katimavik. It was one of those things where someone says something and then you say, "That would make a good song title!" That's what happened. There will be music to accompany that soon. I'm trying to get a hold of a friend who does some really dope electronic beats. Maybe it'll be a collaboration.

As of today, Tuesday August 12th 2008, I am officially moved to NuTang and I will no longer post on Wordpress. If you wish to check out my archives, you may do so at any time by clicking on Archives in my Links list. Don't get me wrong, Wordpress is a great blogging site, but NuTang suits my needs better. Where else can you have all of these great side modules, the ability to completely customize your website, be welcomed by a friendly and interesting community, and have baboons at your service? Nowhere.

To end this post, I present to you a new song! Another cover. It's Angela Aki's Love Is Over Now. My vocals start out a little shaky, but they get better. Hope I did the song justice.

banana republic's clothes are really high end... wow ... it must be cool to work in Coach... the staff in some high end stores here r really having 'holidays' because not many people go into their shops.

Is that right? I hope that doesn't happen to me. Especially if it's a forced holiday.

The clientele at the mall I work at is more high end... this new mall that Coach is in is not. It should be interesting to see how it fares against the other high end stores.

ermm working at Coach....
sounds cool to me...

Thanks for the welcome!
It should be a barrel of monkeys. What did your research tell you about high end shoppers? That they like to spend an obscene amount of money on clothes and merchandise that they can get elsewhere for cheaper?

if those people buy coach bags .. i would really like them to invest with me and give me their money since they got nowhere else to fling it.

ooh didn't read my comment reply on the vocal. yes u r right bout the part where my singing will get better and better but it's not up to the standard i feel 'better' for my singing immortal. i didn't know it was that high; didn't know it was one octave higher... and i can't really sing high notes... still practising... and i'm too conscious bout my voice!!! every time i sing .. i'm like holding back .. i really need to get those comments from my family members "ur singing sucks ur voice suck yada yada' out of my head every time i sing.

RYN: lol... thanks for visiting my site... actually.... the amulet charge depends on the size of the amulet... since driving safely is big so is 1000yen, and others r small so is 500 yen...

as for my research, neh not on the topic u mention... just seeing how the shop ambience n bla bla affected the customers purchase behaviour....

Ah, size is important.
Renaye: These people seem to have more money than they know what to do with. I'm sure they'd gladly toss it at a human instead of a garbage can or into a fire.

If you want to sound good and hit high notes, imagine you are on the beach and looking out to the sea. This will put your head at the proper angle (like you're looking out at the horizon). Plus you will feel relaxed and the notes will just fall out.

Jolene: I see how shop ambience affects customers every day. If a merchandise table is messy, customers will avoid it. If it's clean, they will rifle through the clothing and make it messy. It's a bit aggravating, but that's the nature of the beast. Pretty store = more cash flow.

R:C (Re:Comment)
Thanks. I still don't know how I got it, but I will not complain about free money.

I need to sleep, but I wanted to comment on that thing where someone says something and someone else goes, "Ooh, that sounds like a good song title!" I have that a lot, except they all sound like band names. I can't remember any off the top of my head--there are way too many and I am far too tired--but that's always fun to do.

Band Names
That happens to me too! One that I was actually planning on using at some point was "Classic Acid Pose". It was a running gag throughout my Katima-life. Just like the name says, there was a pose for it. It was a lunge followed by putting your arms above your head in a certain way. Difficult to describe, but I'll see if I can find a picture and post it.
