weekend

On Friday night Jen came over for dinner, and then we went to the Royal to watch the new Patti Smith documentary. It was filmed over ten or so years, with the intent of working as a portrait. If you like musician documentaries, or Patti Smith, then you should probably check it out...

Saturday - we went out for breakfast with the Cumby's. Afterwards, we went to L&M, and bought an amp for Leah. She ended up choosing a newly reissued Traynor tube amp, which sounds really good. We are going to start practicing each Thursday night.

We also went to look at an apartment. It is really nice, and a good price for the size (still expensive), but we decided that it is out of the picture since it is available a month before we need it.

On Sunday Leah went to play at an Anglican church. I made my own pilgrimage to the Common, for a coffee and shortbread. That evening, church was kinda crazy. It was extra decorated by resident art-school kids. The music was great. And Cyril has been preaching really kick-ass sermons recently (listen at freedomize.com, if you want). The service ended with a crazy worship set, glowsticks, and a live-music freestyle benediction.

Afterwards we went out for dinner with a big church posse.

I slept badly and got a flat tire on my way in to work, so the week should be getting better from here on.

On Friday we stayed home and watched a movie
On Saturday we went to the Common, and then grocery shopping. That night we went over to Joel and Anne's
On Sunday we went to Billy's for breakfast, with David and Jen. We went to HMV and Criminal before church, and bought some CDs

Leah and I had some CDs made of some old songs. We will sell them for money and get rich some time in the near future.

Weekend

It was a crazy weekend.

Leah had a couple of wedding shower/bachelorette events to attend, and we had a couple of birthday/leaving for germany parties which we were supposed to go to (we went to one, and skipped the other).

Also - it was David's last Sunday as the pastor of FT, so we had a party after church last night too.

Leah signed up for a couple of classes at UofT - which she started today.

Midweek weekend update

It's Wednesday, and I'm back to work after a couple of sick days off. I'm still not 100%, but I'm on the mend.

The weekend:
Friday, I met Leah after work at Andrew and Esther's wedding rehearsal. Leah had to be there, and I sat around trying not to cough too much. Afterwards we went to Hosu for dinner.

Saturday - we went to the vet. Mabel seems to be doing better. She got another shot, and is on hypoallergenic (= more expensive) food. She is no longer rocking a cone on her head, so she is much happier.

Later we went to the wedding, and then the reception. It was great.

Afterwards we watched Talladega Nights, which is actually hilarious.

On Sunday, we went to church. Afterwards, some people came over to help us eat Leah's birthday cake!

On Monday and Tuesday I mostly lay around on the couch. I also visited the doctor (for free). She was an old grandmother from somewhere vaguely eastern european. I also consumed my own body weight in Ricola.

Today I am back at work. This American Life is replaying the episode with the post-traumatic stress guy from Iraq. It is definitely worth a listen.

Weekend

In no particular order.

The show on Saturday was fun! It was good to see the band fresh back from their tour - and fun to watch Leah play the bass. There were a bunch of people there, and everyone had a great time.

We went over to David and Jen's new place. Jen has done a great job of turning it into their new home. We watched Walk the Line on their giant screen tv.

We also hung out with Katherine and Michael - we went to Alternative Grounds, but it was closed...

The weather was great. I hope that the fall and the winter are delayed as long as possible.
