Reading

I am currently reading (again) Out of the Silent Planet.

Weekend Update...

Not too much of note this weekend... so I'll stick to the things with some amount of lasting impact.

Leah got a new(ish) part-time job at a coffee place...
We went to the going away party of a friend who leaves for a year, to teach Math in India.
We bought the new(ish) Coldplay CD. Not as good as the one before, which was not as good as the one before...

And a few items of no lasting importance whatsoever...

We watched The Grudge... learn from our mistakes and don't bother.
I got a sweet headache yesterday.
The alarmclock somehow got set ahead an hour. I mistakenly awoke at 6 (but really 5) this morning. I proceeded to shower, dress, eat, make lunch, and almost step out into the darkness to go to work, before Leah pointed out that it was just after 6.

Don't Procrastinate

Sufjan Stevens is sold out. I don't know if I will be able to get tickets at the door or not. =(

Flickr Pictrs

I started adding pictures to my Flickr site. Since it is a little slow using dial-up, expect pictures to appear periodically, as I have time to upload...

Back

So... Leah and I are back from our trip to Nova Scotia.

I will fill you all in when I get a chance - and will add pictures to my newly created Flickr account...

Sufjan

In response to Zellyn's recent post regarding Sufjan Stevens... September 10th is a Saturday, so for once I can go to a concert, and as an added bonus, Laura Veirs is opening.

SWEETNESS.

3 days...

until vacation. I am ready for a week off. Actually, I'm ready for more than a week off, but I'll take what I can get.

Nothing much to report - here's a pretty neat site for picking colors.

The Usual

Friday night we rented Goin' Down the Road.
Saturday we went to the Escape Goat Records barbecue. Half of Loitering Heroes (the Leah and Kevin half) played, as did Neil Haverty and Ohbijou.
Sunday we watched some cricket in the park, and then went to church.

Mid Week Update

Wednesday. Work is pretty busy - I am working on two different jobs, so I have to learn to juggle (more an exercise in dimplomacy than in time management, since every job is the most urgent.)

Tonight Leah plays a show at the FreeTimes. The person she was opening for cancelled sort of last minute, so I don't really know who else is playing.

I have to go down to Toronto Western in about fifteen minutes for a meeting. I will conveniently be able to walk over to the FreeTimes after I am done.



Nothing exciting really.

Weekend Update

So... the long weekend:

Leah and I went to a cottage for the weekend, with a bunch of folks, most of whom we didn't know. (The cottage belongs to the brother and sister-in-law of a friend of mine from work.) It was fun, and good to get out of the city.

We mostly sat around, and occasionally ate food. There was also some swimming and on Monday we went wake-boarding, which I was surprisingly pretty decent at.

Leah unfortunately stubbed her little toe really hard, thereby breaking it. It turned purple.

Anyway - Like I said, it was fun, although I do feel like I need another weekend...
