Without her near me I would not survive
Nothing makes a night better than dinner with someone you love (Grandma) and talking to people who make you smile all night; t'was a downer of a day but the important people made it better. Sloan helps too.I also organized my flickr set for MEME, so give it a check-out and give all my friends who worked on it some internet-lovin'.
It's just after midnight and I wish I could stay up more and enjoy the company of people via Teh Interwebz, but I promised Owen I'd be at the QsDayze show tomorrow at The Albert; there's going to be an NHL 94 tournament, 90's tunes and he's going to play some Matthew Good Band just for me. Yeeeeeah!
All falls down
A workweek is always a bit easier to handle after a super jam-packed weekend; it's like a cool-down period before the next big thing.Everyone managed to make it out to MEME on Saturday at Old Market Square and I have to say that I was considerably impressed with the new stage they have going on there, as well as the quality of the music.
So many people showed up, so many people danced and had fun and I really got the impression that maybe the electronic music scene here isn't seeming as sketchy as I think a lot of people think it is.
I personally know a lot of the people involved with putting the show together and so much time and effort went into it; it was great to see it rewarded.
The weekend was top-notch, even after some drunk girl who got ditched in my apartment punched me in the head for trying to make her go home.
I was going to share more about the weekend but I just turned around to find my boss creepily standing just out of my peripherial vision, watching me type this. Jesus Christ.
We'll both wind up buried at sea
It could be the two cups of coffee I inhaled this morning (as well as the green tea I had with breakfast, whoops) but I'm going to credit my fabulous mood this lunch hour with the fact that I made myself be in a good mood this morning.And why not? Not everything may be ideal right now but the things that I can control are as good as they can be and that's all I can ask for at the moment.
I finally finished uploading pictures from my Montreal trip, which you can see here. There's also a seperate album for the Biodome but it's basically just pictures of penguins (that's not true, I left out the other 50 penguin pictures I took). I haven't put up the riveting pictures of Quebec city yet but I'll get around to it eventually.
I miss my vacation.
Also, I'm wearing my H&M Obnoxious Cat shirt today and am genuinely enjoying the looks of bewilderment I am getting from my older co-workers when I come barrelling down the hallway with a big, sneering cat face on my shirt.
I was going to link it to you guys but the H&M website doesn't seem to want to actually show me most of their product merchandise. Oh well, I'll take a photo later if I remember.
Even though it's not a Gym Night I'm going to go for a run this evening after work. That's just how damned good I feel about life right now.
Enough that I want to exercise.
Might paint something I want to hang here someday
Back to the 'ol grind. Not as much of a clusterfuck as I had anticipated which is nice though there's still so much to do it makes my head spin. I just plug in my iPod and lose myself in documentaries and interviews and it makes the time go by faster.I wish Ty and I had stayed longer at the first Patio Pleasure Saturday on (obvs) Sat, but we had pizza to make and I only brought so much change for afternoon beers so we booked it home before it began to rain too hard. I look forward to more of 'em, though.
Oh Monday, Monday, Monday.
Tell the world what everyone else knows
I don't remember how it came about, but Ty and I wound up discussing old MuchMusic and wound up listening to some Love Inc. Doe anyone else remember when Chris Sheppard came out to play the MuchMusic Video Awards blasted out of his face? Which year was that?
He probably popped like ten pills and swaggered on stage because Chris Sheppard was just that badass. What a champ.
On another note, Bran Van 3000 never gets old.
Drive your vehicle like you just don't care
Ty was having a bit of a rough day yesterday and since I'm the epitome of a good girlfriend had the day off I baked some heart-shaped brownies to cheer him up and also satisfy my chocolate craving.
I'm not even sure where I got this lame-assed silicone baking tray from, probably some Christmas gift from a co-worker but it's cheesy hearts which I secretly love because I'm a big sap, so, whatever.My baking prowess is Zero but they turned out great!
The first two nights back from our trip I didn't remember my dreams and it wasn't until this morning when I woke up remembering my dreams from last night that I realized how much it bugs me when I can't remember them (I always do). For the record, I was Keanu Reeves as a pirate trying to save a baby by stealing the pirate's money and giving it to an old black lady who had raised me as a child so she could raise the baby as her own. Just saying.
I just can't be with you like this anymore
Welcome to my Tuesday Afternoon in Montreal.Last Tuesday, to be exact.
Today I took my dad out to our fav greasy spoon - The Paladin - for his bday lunch today and gave him a sweet Thunderbirds card that had a picture of Jeff Tracy and said "Super Dad" on it that I thought he would like, and I was right. Now, if only I could find some of the Thunderbirds candy with little toys inside for him that he used to get as a kid. Do they still make them? Time for some research!
That and of course tidying up, packing an overnight bag for Ty's, painting more (I have a fab and super-secret art project I can't share just yet... you'll see why when it's done!) and working on more of my amazing coloring book while finishing up the 3rd season of Breaking Bad.
Tomorrow eve's the first Patio Pleasure Saturdays kicks off at The Academy tomorrow and I'm super excited to check out the sweet tunes that are going to be laid down by the likes of Khemlab, Chris Komus and a bunch more peeps. It's been a good long while since I've had eats and drinks with friends and I'm definitely looking forward to it. Let's hope it doesn't rain!
Happy weekend all! xo
Je veux te voir dans une film pornographique
I can not stop watching the new Gaga video; thank god I have the day off so I can sit here and gawk over how over-the-top and homoerotic it is. Love it.
Speaking of "homoerotic" (sort of) on June 29th Cabaret Mado is doing a drag version of Lady Gaga that I would kill to see. If anyone is in good 'ol Montreal around the end of the month please check it out and report back to me, I'd kill to see Gaga in drag.
Don't you love days off where you still manage to get a ton of stuff done despite actively trying not to do anything? It doesn't even feel like a chore. So much time to veg with a delicious iced tea, surf the 'net and listen to Mouse on Mars to remember what a kickass vacation I had.Tonight I'm making tacos for Ty and I and when he goes home I'm going to watch a studio Ghibli movie and do some painting.
Our hell ends every weekend
Home again.Oh, vacation. I miss you.
Ty took this on the plane to Montreal a few weeks ago; we didn't manage to get seats together because we booked on a seat sale and didn't have a choice, but luckily we were behind/in front of each other.
We spent the whole flight reaching back/forward bothering the other one and making excited faces.
He happened to catch me looking up from my book; I like this picture a lot.
I don't even know where to start or what to say, how to describe everything. I'm exhausted from being on my feet and adventuring every day since we left and the plane ride tuckered me out.
I'm going to make a cup of tea and catch up on some Internets, but I'll update this ish shortly. I need some downtime, for sure.
Missed you all.
My time's never existed
T-minus four hours and I'll be on my way to Montreal, guys and girls.
My first trip in two years, my first visit to Montreal and Quebec, and partying with my friends like hell at Mutek..
Can't wait!
See you in a week and a half, loves! xo
