Weekend

This weekend involved some epic moving. Three couples that we know all moved into a mansion - so Saturday was a long day of loading, unloading, and driving back and forth across town. The weather was great, there were many helpers, and it everything went well. It was actually fun.
That evening Leah went to a wedding shower for another friend. I stuck around at the mansion to drink some post-moving beer with the lights out (earth hour seems like such a bad joke to me, but whatever...)
On sunday Leah worked on some homework while I went to drink coffee and read about minimalist art. Church was good - David was pinch-preaching due to the early arrival of baby Justus. Afterwards, we had a last minute pot-luck dinner at our house.

On Friday night we went over to David and Jen's. We ate delicious food (as always) and watched Happy Go Lucky. I really liked this movie...

On Saturday I did laundry in the morning, and we went grocery shopping in the afternoon. I also bought the Saint Etienne Travel Edition CD.

That night I was kinda bored, and ended up renting Mystery Train. We watched 2/3 of it before going to sleep. I love the first third with the Japanese rockabilly kids making a pilgrimage to Memphis...

On Sunday, I finally reassembled the record player table, with Leah's help. It took quite a bit of swearing on my part before things were together and not too crooked.

I was on setup for church - which went pretty well. We had a guest preacher (Joe Manifo), and after the service he showed a documentary that he made on churches in Canada (he himself is a church planter in Sarnia). It was well done and interesting. After that there was a panel discussion starring David, Justin Broadbent, John Franklin (of Imago), and Joe, about faith and the arts. It was excellently moderated by Jen McNaughton, and actually super interesting. After tear-down, it was really late and I had a wicked headache.

Colored Lights Video

I finished making my first ever video tonight. It is shot on the world's worst digital camera, and it is my first time trying to do video or audio in Flash, so bear with me... (and let me know if you have issues running it).

Check it out over at Immigrant Design. IT'S INTERACTIVE!!!

This weekend was good. Leah had an idea for a new coffee-table. After some design alterations to account for the fact that we can't make 45 degree cuts, and have to rely on the 'accuracy' of the peeps at the hardware store who cut the wood, we ended up with a new coffee table. It turned out quite well. I will put some pictures up at Immigrant Design when I get a chance...

On Sunday, I went for a walk and took some pictures (35mm film - oldschool). I also stopped in at a few art galleries.

Church was good.

Toe Knee Heart

Today I was walking to work from the streetcar stop - and I was looking off to the side at this mysterious huge house on Wellington...
when I walked right into one of those posts that you lock your bike to.

It was funny, but I totally smashed my knee into it.

The weekend was somewhat busy and mostly unremarkable.






I should trade in blogger for twitter.

This American Life has another very good program on the current economic situation - explaining what is going on and why...

Listen to it here, if you want to understand more/scare the mess out of yourself.

I am slightly sick today - my head feels heavy and full and my throat hurts.
On Friday I met Leah after work and she went to buy a bathing suit. Later we went to visit Kate in her fancy-schmancy Yorkville hotel. We went swimming in the lap pool, tried out the sauna, and hung out in her room.
On Saturday, Leah and I complained about the cold. We went to greenavi for coffee, where Leah read Thomas Merton and I read Flannery O'Connor... Afterwards, we went to Magic Oven Pizza, for expensive gluten-free pizza. Instead of doing anything that evening - we fell asleep for a few hours. When we woke up, we ended up watching/rewatching Before Sunrise.
On Sunday we did laundry. After church we watched Before Sunset - which was interesting but not as good...
