Friday - we went over to Andrew and Esther's to listen to the songs that Andrew has finished recording for his Autumn album. It is going to be a good one.
Saturday - we went to Ikea to buy some things for our bedroom. New bedding and a blind for the window, as well as some storage bins so that we can finally empty out the desk and get rid of it...
Sunday - I did the laundry and went to the grocery store before heading to church. Afterwards we watched the Lovely Bones, which I thought was sort of terrible.
Today I am tired.

Also...
...check out the latest in the Fruit of the Spirit series over at the Freechurch website. This week features Cyril 'Ill Seer' Guerette.
I am loving how these are turning out. They are all quality, and the variety is amazing...

Midweek weekend update
Since it was a long weekend, and Leah has reading week this week, we decided to make the most of things and go away for the weekend...
So on Friday I raced home from work, took a shower and ate dinner, and then we headed to the Greyhound station for the overnight bus to NYC.
Ten or so hours later we ended up at Penn Station at roughly 6.30am.
Our main reason for the trip was to visit Sue, so we headed up towards her apartment. We stopped on the way at Tom's Diner, for breakfast, and also because it was too early to do much of anything else.
We spent the rest of Saturday hanging out with Sue - we went to the Jewish Museum (Man Ray), ordered in some sushi, and then ended up going to a crazy four man juggling show starring Sue's building superintendent (!).
On Sunday Leah and I went to MoMA. It was really busy, but really amazing. Their collection is crazy, and I could spend a week in there. Afterwards we headed over to Trinity Grace in Chelsea. We were early so we ended up walking around before church. Leah bought some long-johns at American Apparel (the same ones that Janeane Garofalo recently bought there, according to the salesperson!)
Church was great, despite a monster headache that I developed over the course of the afternoon. Afterwards, we went to a Thai restaurant for dinner.
On Monday we headed down to Sue's office to meet her for lunch. Her office looks out at the Empire State Building across the street, which is crazy! Afterwards Leah and I headed over to Queens to the PS1 gallery. It is a really fun place, and we ended off the afternoon in the James Turrell room staring up at the art/sky...
Afterwards we headed back to Penn Station. We grabbed some dinner, and then got back on a bus and headed back to Canada...
All in all it was a lot of fun. Many thanks to Sue (and her gracious roommate, Molly) for hosting us. It was really great to see Sue and get to see a little of her new life!
After we got back we headed home and went to bed (I took Tuesday off...) That evening was a Freechurch coffeehouse event... Leah and I each played a few songs, and then Your Heart played a set... which was a crazy way to end off a busy and fun looong weekend.

The Weekend
On Friday night I was kinda bored. Leah was reading, and I ended up roaming around the Annex aimlessly. I found out later that there was a free Great Lakes Swimmer in-store performance that I did not know about at Sonic Boom.
On Saturday, we went to the dentist. It was relatively painless, and afterwards we went for coffee at a small cafe at Bellevue and Nassau. It was sunny enough to sit outside.
On the way home we stopped by Soundscapes and bought this CD, which is kinda crazy.
That evening we went to D&J's for a delicious dinner.
On Sunday we went to the Common, and then stopped by the Dufferin Mall for some groceries. Church was good, and featured an awesome video of me rocking out on the guitar. Afterwards we made curry for dinner.

Weekend Upchuck
On Friday night we went over to the D&J's to watch Whip It... which was pretty much what I exptected it to be - silly but kinda fun.
Then some time in the night Leah woke up and started puking. She was in pretty bad shape for all of Saturday. I did some grocery shopping, and after dinner we watched Throw Down Your Heart - a documentary about Bela Fleck travelling to various places in Africa, to play music with local musicians and learn a little bit about the roots of the banjo.
On Sunday, Leah was feeling better, but still not great, so I went to church without her! Afterwards, I made some soup for dinner.
Also, check out the video for PEACE - in which I try to play the guitar!
