As Janta commented today, my blog has been a bit barren of late - "It's almost as if you have better things to do!"

Well, I wouldn't necessarily say better! My to do lists have been exhaustive in more than one sense. But the reward begins to pour in. Several short hours ago my dear friend Janta flew into the Saskatoon airport and into my arms ( Read more... )

Move me up through the darkest clouds
Till I've lost in the sun every shadow of doubt
There is no better find than to find myself with you
I'm inviting you closer with each time I breathe
Surrender has somehow become so beautiful

This weekend at Emma Lake was one of the most beautiful place redemptions of my relationship with Paul. You see, Paul and I ( Read more... )

Maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me

The countdown has reached the point of hours. My car is packed. I keep looking at the forest outside the window.

Learn to play guitar? I guess that would be a check. I am starting to become fluent in switching between A, Am, C, D, E, Em, F (almost), G. It's looking promising for the future. My fingers are ( Read more... )

I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

The countdown is down to the wire. Tonight I pack, tomorrow I leave for home, and if all goes well I'll be leaving for home several hours ahead of schedule so I can make a couple of stops. One to see Diefenbaker's house, because every time I see the sign I wish I wasn't working, and a ( Read more... )

So today I went into Prince Albert for a supply run. P.A. trips are always on high alert because people are stupid. I mean, I got into no less than 4 situations in a parking lot where there was a car behind me and I couldn't back up, and people would gesture and nobody who was actually in a position to resolve the situation did anything for at ( Read more... )

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance
To make it right

Yesterday at the invitation of my boss and the pleading puppy dog eyes of my co-worker, I bought a brush and canvass and used some oil paints in the field - called plen air painting, with a small dose of alla prima as well for me anyway since I basically did the painting in one ( Read more... )

So today I wrote letters for one of my three major projects I'm planning on for my final show. I was doing some planning for them tonight, figuring out all the stuff I need to get from my various connections... I'm formulating my ideas for the show so that they'll be most impressive.

I spent most of the day reading David Copperfield and I'm still ( Read more... )

So today I finished reading Shadow of the Giant which had a couple of amazing scenes that brought me to tears, read about 10% of David Copperfield which is not bad actually, and watched the last DVD of the Fruits Basket anime, which unfortunately I didn't much care for especially in comparison to the greatness of the story later on...

Other than ( Read more... )

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do

Man, half past midnight feels more like 2am, but it was worth it. Just got to sit by a campfire surrounded by artists, discussing capitalist world politics and post-modernism with the group and a retired philosophy professor.

I learned that when discussing post-modernism, one must use ( Read more... )

Okay, so today was a good day all in all. Got lots of random work stuff done, moved about half my stuff from Cabin 3 (or into the trunk of my car to go home) where I've been staying until busy season hits to room 30 of the Fourplex, which has a perfect shelf for books (I think I got more pleasure out of stocking that shelf than any other action ( Read more... )
