Oh, my weeken …

June 18th, 2003

Oh, my weekend was quite fine Nicole! I kicked it all off with a little Electric Circus goodness on Friday night, and then went out for a night of dance hall reggae madness on Saturday. It was sort of by accident that I ended up at a club in Kensington Market, but definitely had some enjoyment dancing until the wee hours of the morning with my friend Kim. Of course, no night is complete without a run for nachos and poutine afterwards. Somehow food always tastes better at 3am.

My Sunday was filled with arts and crafts, which has made me feel very accomplished, in a weird sorta way. You see, I have recently moved, and despite painting my walls asparagus green (with bok choy accents) I still need some art work on the walls. A quick trip to the grand ol’ discount palace, and I was able to frame some Gumby and Pokey figures in a shadow box. Yeah, I know. I have far too much free time on my hands.

But, I still need to further decorate my home. This has left me searching the info’mation supah highway for sources with art that fits my budget. First up, I checked out a little Gris Grimly. Grimly was born in 1775, is a native of Los Angeles, and apparently lives in a crypt. This sorta sense of humour is completely my thing, and his illustrations for children’s books are… well, they’re just very me. Too bad it’s outta my price range, but hey, I can dream.

Not one to give up, I’m gonna head over to the local book shop, and pick myself up some of the books he’s worked on. A little slicing of the pages, and bingo! Insta-cheap-o-art!

While you’re decorating your home, it’s always important to have some good music. Lately, I’m digging the latest track from BT. You might not have heard of him, but you’ve heard his music. Despite his status as an underground DJ, (depending on who you talk to), he was the producer behind *NSYNC’s “Pop”, and he’s scored a bunch of movies, including Go and The Fast And The Furious. Check out his new track, “Somnambulist“. Yes, it’s disgustingly happy, but hey, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.

Anything disgustingly happy in your life Justin?
