tuesday update

The weekend...
On Friday night we went to hang out at Lisa's... well, it was at an apartment where she was cat-sitting. The owner is an antique collector, so the place was rammed with crazy stuff!
On Saturday we went to the Eaton Centre to buy some clothes for work. Afterwards we went to Hibiscus, and then stopped by the MOCCA gallery.
On Sunday, I went to church in the morning. Afterwards, we did epic quantities of laundry and then I went grocery shopping. That night we went over to Andrew and Esther's for dinner...

weekend

Not too much to report...
On Friday night we went out for dinner.
On Saturday, Leah went to the library, and I went down to Queen Street. I stopped in at the MOCCA, and was happy to find a really cool show of work by David Hoffos - check it out if you get the chance.
I also walked down Queen, stopping in at Rotate This, which was having a sale.
That night we did laundry, and then I worked on setting up my portfolio website... which is slow going and involves reading a lot of wordpress help docs.
On Sunday we went out for brunch with the Cumbys and the Woods. That evening I did some grocery shopping, and then after dinner we watched a movie called The Exploding Girl.

weekend

On Friday night, Leah went to Dorian and Lodwijk's housewarming party. I was pretty tired, so I stayed at home. I ended up using the evening to 'install' wordpress on my immigrantdesign website. I still have an extremely limited knowledge of how it all works, so it will likely be a while before I have a new portfolio site up and running.

On Saturday, we went to the dentist. That afternoon Leah did the laundry and I went grocery shopping. After dinner we went to the Woods' house to hang out.

On Sunday I tried recording some music. It was a bit frustrating, 'cause I think our netbook just can't handle it (time for a Macbook?).

That evening I finally bought the R.E.M. Automatic Box that has been sitting in Sonic Boom for months. I listened to it whilst making butternut/yam/carrot soup and apple crisp for dinner. We also watched the movie Julia after dinner, which is insane.

Blogging

That is all for the Berlin pictures... for more and better pictures by somebody else, check out Christine Lim's 31 pictures of October.

This weekend was Halloween. Which is also the end of October and the start of the beginning of winter (at least in my mind). To celebrate, it snowed an ever-so-small amount on Sunday morning, and this morning's temperature was below freezing.

Which means I am taking the subway instead of the bike. Which means I have to read more books (to stay sane). So I grabbed Til We Have Faces on the way out the door this morning. I have read it once before, but started it many times before that. We shall see how it goes - despite having a hard time getting into it, it is possibly my fave Lewis book...

In other news, I played guitar at church on Sunday - which was pretty fun. It is always impossible to really hear everything, so the only course of action is to just play...
Afterwards, we rented The Birds, in order to celebrate the day.
