Wow, I totally blew off my morning pages all weekend. Oops. I am still having a hard time doing them. I just can’t get motivated if there is the smallest obstacle, like not waking up in my own bed.

Anyway, here’s a review of the last few days:’

On Friday I went to Erik’s house with a bottle of champagne. I just felt like drinking some bubbly. We went to Shorty’s for dinner and then went back to his place to drink and watch Masculin Feminin, which is a terrific movie. I loved it. We went to bed relatively early and slept in as well.

Saturday was busy! I dashed home in the morning, took a quick shower, and barely caught a bus up to the U-District to see Drawing Restraint 9, the new Matthew Barney project, at the Varsity. I will say it was “worth consuming” just because it was an exeperience, but it was kind of weird and I can’t decide if I actually liked it or not. Lots of petroleum jelly though. Then Erik and I wandered around a bit and got some greasy food and coffee and got in a stupid fight about whether saying you would miss someone is a horrible thing to say or not. Bleh. But then we went back to Cappy Hill and checked on the ducks at the Park. Still not there. Someone drained the pool and now the ducks are gone. Then we went to Linda’s for a quick beer before heading to a barbecue with some friends. It was great fun and the food was excellent. We then tried to head downtown to go to a fashion show but it took us so long to hail a cab that we totally missed it. We hung out at the hotel where the show was for a bit and then went back to Michele’s house with Tom, Michele and Sami. Drank some wine and left around 1:30 I think, where we proceeded to walk in the wrong direction until we were totally in the middle of nowhere–and there were no cabs to be found! I was finally able to hail one with poor Erik half asleep with his head on my shoulder.

On Sunday we went to dim sum with a few friends. It was incredibly cheap. Then we walked over to the Frye and sat through half a boring film lecture. Then we viewed some art and then I went home. Once I was home I lollygagged and wasted a lot of time doing nothing. Bleh.
