saturday saw us, or at least me, stumble through our spanish class at VCC. i'm feeling a little overwhelmed by it but know that it's more about studying than we're doing...i'm doing. work gets in the way of studying and as much as all good plans have been made, the follow-through has been weak...maybe i should be happy i know anything at this point since i've only cracked the book once and studied at the noodle box once. hola! ok, i'll study this week...i promise.
shauna's forst and my second trip to trail appliances also happened saturday. nd i'll tell you this, even after making the decision to buy the whirlpool set, it's like buying a car for all the paperwork you have to do...and the nickel and dime action...and i don't hold anything against our man coy, he was just doing his job and trail really seems like a decent place...but after the extended warranty, the delivery, the set-up charge, etc...all you can think is, "this fuckin' thing better get my god damn clothes clean...and how..." so, that's that...thursday morning, i think, we'll be graced with a washer and dryer...good times..come on over ans give it a test run.
saturday night was push festival action as well and after buying the new appliances, we had to boogies to make the first performance at the scotia dance centre...it was called glow and was a dance performance by a group from australia. it was very interesting for about the first 20 minutes and then the woman performing all of a sudden was possessed by something and started speaking in tongues. she was a very good performer but it was a little alarming and went from bright and fun(ish) to dark and scary...i'm sure she's fine now.
our second show of the evening was 'instructions for modern living' by a couple guys from new zealand...a musical, spoken word journey that included slides and moving images...the guy doing the music was excellent, although he really didn't out the theromin through it's paces, but he was great, the talking dude was, well, a talking dude that had ideas that were a little dated and overdone...anyhow...nice to get out and see some new things...and hang out with my ladyfriend...oh, and we had some burger action at vera's with fries and gravy...nice...
today with shauna's cold getting the better of her, i headed out to issy's to get some toy boxes to ship out some toys i had just sold on the interweb and when i got back we headed of to a performance at the vancouver library by more down under folks called 'small metal objects'. an odd performance that i liked on one level a lot but wasn't totally convinced....but one that i like more now after the fact....
the rest of our day had been slack with shauna catching up on her six feet under, me napping and bomber hockey coming up at 10:30....nice.
more later....i love you.
