blue_lotus13Had a lovely, lovely weekend, although I am stupid tired right now. I went to a Halloween party on Friday night. My friend and her husband are both graphic designers/illustrators, and they went all out for their party. Their entire house was decorated, their costumes were great and the food was good too. We had finger like breadsticks, meringues shaped like bones, and a bunch of other yummy treats. The other people in attendance were nice too. There were a lot of visual artists there, and people really made an effort with their costumes. I'll post pics to my flickr and facebook.
On Saturday, I had an extremely lazy day. Then I met my friend at the theatre for a showing of "The Forbidden Phoenix", which is a new musical theatre/Chinese opera/Chinese acrobatics play. It was the story of the Monkey King, who is banished to the West and has to fight an evil man named Horne. However, the story is also an allegory for the story of the bachelor men who had to come to Canada to work on the railroad. The costumes were beautiful, the music and story were good and I really enjoyed the fusion of the art forms. It was a kid's play, so there were lots of kids in the audience, which was nice. We had fabulous seats about four rows from the front.
Today I went to an intense yoga class, then drove out to the country to tour an agricultural centre which will soon be used to teach young farmers, and urbanites more about agriculture. It was pretty cool. Now I'm home, about to eat, and rest because the week coming up is pretty damn crazy.
