Granny's in the house

Wednesday night was the big Metric concert. She was absolutely amazing, she was, and so was the band... but there was one major thing happening that night. Somehow since I started listening to them they have become the big and trendy with the Ashlee Simpson wannabe crowd. I have never seen so many fashion-conscious 16 year olds in one place in a long time with the exception of the mall. Ed cracked a joke that he couldn't wait to see all the mini-vans parked outside at the end of the concert waiting to pick up all the kids... and he was right. I nearly died. SO, while I enjoyed the music, I felt like gramma cramping some party - I was pretty tired, could only manage to drink one beer without feeling like I was going to fall asleep, and felt slightly annoyed every time some tiny little girl (yes girl) stepped on my toe or started swinging her hair in my face. Oh well. It was fun and gramma will be back next time, don't you worry.

In other news, I have a TON of work to do at school so that's where Ill be living most of next week I think. IPPs and report cards are coming up (don't expect anyone to care but just know it's a lot of work) and I just need to spend some serious time planning for the next couple of weeks. So I'm going to kickstart that today with a a delicious Eggs Benny breakfast at home, and now for a walk on 17th ave...

sometimes i wonder what's happening to the next generation of children that come up behind us... i don't know if it's just that i am getting old and forget that i was probably like them when i was young, or if the children are actually getting worse and doing things at a younger age than when i was a teenager. anyway, it's a scary thought sometimes, and seeing masses of them in a concert dressed like ashley simpson probably wouldn't make the wonder go away. we are truely getting old and grumpy.
i miss you lots!
