Spoken word fiesta

On Tuesday night, I went to a cd release for the Spoken Word Group T.O.F.U (Tons of Fun University). I went a little late, as I was warmly ensconced in my bed, finishing "Small island" by Andrea Levy. As a result, I had to wait outside Cafe Deux Soleils for about half an hour before the door people would let me in. One of the poets, Mike McGee felt bad for us, and came outside and performed a poem for us while we were waiting, which was extremely nice.

The wait was worth it. Local slam poets Shane Koyczan and CR Avery put on a great show. They were joined by Seattle resident Christa Bell and Mike McGee from the Bay area. It turns out that Mike McGee is actually [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], who is good friends with [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com].

I also got to meet [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], who I recognized from her pictures. So all in all, a good night. I plan to check out more spoken word when I get a chance.

Exercising and pants...

Yesterday turned out to be the day of much exercising. I biked to the Ricepaper office, where I chatted with the publisher and browsed some catalogues. From there, I biked to Tinseltown to watch "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants". I was proud of myself for biking to the theatre and back to my home, as I get nervous biking in areas of high traffic. Then I had dance class, which was pretty intense. After dance class, my bus zipped right by me, so I walked a few kilometres to the Sky Train station. Needless to say, I'm a bit stiff today.

( some talking about traveling pants, not spoilery for anyone who has read the books )

Veronica Mars...

Caught an episode of Veronica Mars tonight and was fairly pleased. What time is it on here? Thursdays at 8, and re-runs on Monday on CTV?

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
