blue_lotus13Bad- My friend is in town and I haven't managed to catch up with her. She's at a horse show and phoned once, when I was out :( I've called back, but I think she might have already left town. Or will we go for brunch tomorrow? I don't know. Ugh.
The good- I had a good weekend. On Friday, I attended "Titus",which I've already blogged about. I neglected to mention that Mari and I were accompanied by a playwright/actor friend of hers who turned out to have the same nerd-tastic taste as I do. He loves "Veronica Mars", "How I met your mother", "Mean Girls" and a wide variety of other nerdy things that I love too. We bonded immediately (and platonically) for those of you who are following along at home.
Saturday I woke up very late and then went to the farmer's market where I went crazy because of the fresh produce. I got beans, fresh baby bok choy, white cherries, and a variety of other tasty things. Then I biked over to a friend's going away party. It was held in my neighbourhood and I clicked with the host of the going away party, who works at the independent folk radio station here in town. We ended up drinking mojitos and a tasty Brazilian drink called a caprinha, which was very strong and very boozy. The host of the party had a sheltie named Captain, who I adored and two of the guests brought their twin girls, who were seven months old. The parents were very into exposing the babies to new things, so I got to hold one of the girls for a very long time, which made me quite happy. I like babies.
From the party, I biked to meet Mari and two of her ladyfriends to go see a play called "Mother of the Year". This was an over the top black comedy penned by an Edmonton based playwright. It was created as an accompaniment to Titus, and touched on many of the themes in Titus. The play was set in the 80s, and so we got to laugh our asses off at the cast members who were wearing big sunglasses, dresses with uneven hems, shoulder pads, bad prints, lots of bling and horribly bad makeup. I remarked that I was glad that I didn't hit puberty until the 1990s, as the 1980s were a pretty shitty decade for fashion.
Unfortunately, I couldn't fall asleep when I got home since it was so fricking hot and for some reason, I had neglected to eat and woke up famished at 5:00 in the morning. It's been incredibly hot so I've been eating a lot less and have been subsisting on salads.
Today I did absolutely nothing. I watched several episodes of Weeds and then a great documentary about Ed Brown of Tassajara Zen Centre called "How to cook your life." Tomorrow it's back to work. I'll be on the road a lot this week.
