Today I received a kick ass wedding invite from my friends Hanson and Danica. The wedding invite looks like a rock show poster, including a note about "doors opening", featuring, etc. It is seriously awesome ( Read more... )

I attended my friend's wedding this weekend. This was pretty cool because it was the wedding of the first friend I ever picked by myself. I think we met at preschool when we were three. We lived in the same neighbourhood and were good friends throughout childhood. We stayed in touch over the years, even though we have not lived in the same city ( Read more... )

I won a spot in a beekeeping workshop this weekend, so I spent most of the weekend hanging out there. The course was taught by a woman I know, and was held three blocks from my house at this yoga studio. I've walked by the space often and it's quite nice on the outside, so it was pretty exciting to get to go inside the space ( Read more... )

Yesterday I came home after dance class to find a message on my answering machine from my esthetician. I have been going to the same woman for the whole time I've lived in Edmonton. I get my brows and other waxing done at a spa near my house, but I have built up a relationship and a friendship with one woman there. I always requested her ( Read more... )

It seems that I am going to multiple workshops in May. This weekend was Edmonton media camp. It was the first one ever and was attended by about 180 people. The event was free and was held at the Shaw conference centre downtown. My friend Darrell drove down from Grande Prairie, so I got a chance to chat and hang out with him, which was cool ( Read more... )

I was in Calgary for five days this past weekend. I managed to do a lot of work, and a little bit of socializing. A and I were good Calgary tourists. I finally made it to the Glenbow museum , which is both an art and history museum. It was pretty darn great, except that we got museum-ed out and didn't see the whole thing ( Read more... )

The day after my reading, I went down to the Art Gallery of Ontario to look at the King Tut exhibit. This was a National Geographic exhibit and it was utterly fantastic. It opened with a short video narrated by Harrison Ford, and then you walked into an area where you could see some of the treasures of the pharaohs prior to King Tut. Then it went ( Read more... )

So I spent most of the morning hanging out with vestra, before getting ready to take off. It would take me about an hour to get to the Harbourfront, so I left early and then wandered up Bay street and looked at Nathan Phillips square and part of Queen St West before getting on the streetcar to get to Harbourfront. It might be the time of year, but I didn ( Read more... )

So I arrived last night at about 6. My day started pretty early because I had to drop Fergus off at Mari's. This was a bit like dropping a child off at daycare, and she pretty much had to assure me that he would be fine. Then I did a few more things before going to catch my sky shuttle. My sky shuttle journey was probably the most eventful part of ( Read more... )

I've been feeling a little overwhelmed and here's why ( Read more... )
