i'm not super handy but handy enough. i can fix a thing or two but making things is another story - actually that's not true, i can make things, i just try and go too fast and they end up not looking as i had imagined in my mind's eye..not always, i have made some good stuff, but i have made a few things that could have been a little more square. what i am kinda good at is helping others make things they have decided they need. i've installed a few shelves in my day that are still holding stuff and pictures and such that haven't fallen to the ground - yet. which brings me to our latest installment of 'ask garn' as marcy calls it. byron, her good lookin' and talented artist boyfriend, needed some help with a project he was doing for the culture crawl last weekend and asked me to help out. i did, and this isn't really about the helping out part, really, it's more about that byron had a good idea that he saw through, with a little help from a sandwich sealer and vinyl bags i lent/gave to him, and got himself and emma, his partner in this project, a nice complimentary write-up in the globe and mail about the clocks that they sealed inside the bags and had set to go off at 9 pm and every 9 o'clock after that.near the railroad tracks in strathcona...(i believe it was in last week's saturday edition of the globe...)....so i'm happy to have been able to help out....good times and good work byron.
speaking of art...the ever talented and beautiful emilie o'brien had an art opening her own self last night at eugene choo up on main street so after work last night i met-up with shauna and emilie at the cascade room on main st. and then headed up to the choo. kildare, eugene choo's main man, was there looking dapper and slightly rugged at the same time, as were a few other hipsters...flower factory gal rosanne and her man larry, cc and megan, ang and devon, and some others i avoided catching the eye of as i didn't want to have to engage myself in conversation with...i know that's bad but uncomfortable conversation ain't my deal anymore..why fake your way through a conversation with someone you don't care for or have nothing to say to when you can just nod, wave and carry-on...?...it's the best way sometimes....there sure were a lot of pregnant women there last night as well...which reminds me, i gotta call dr. pollock. good work on the art emilie.
then it was home to do a few more home renos, eat a wrap thing shauna had picked-up for me, that's hey, and then to bed...i was out like a light last night...i had the night before started to develop a debra winger type voice and was hoping a cold or flu wasn't following it so i wanted to get a decent sleep last night...i slept like a rock, except for the parts where i had to get up and stumble downstairs to...ok, you don't need to know that i guess..anyhow...nice sleep.
ok...back to work...
