WoW! It's near three months since last anyone posted... I am ashamed of my absence from both the blog and my friendship to rats. I'm sorry; no excuses.
I guess life has been carrying on as usual in our own pieces of the world and what's new doesn't seem like news at all but I'll fill you in on MY BORING LIFE anyhow...
A friend of Rats and I, who also happens to be the owner of Hotel Skin (a tattoo parlour in Niagara Falls, ON) said she'd show me how to tattoo; if I supply the grapefruit. I have yet to take her up on her offer -though I am truly aching to know everything there is to know about tattooing. I think I could be really good at it and I've suddenly developed a passion for the art.
With that in mind, I have decided NOT to take Journalism this September. Instead, I am considering switching to the Personal Support Worker program come January 2011. I figure a lot of the curriculum applies to learning about tattooing as well. [don't ask me to explain how, just trust me; it does.] Plus, if tattooing isn't my thing after all, I'll have something to fall back on.
OH! I went to the G20 Summit protest in Toronto on the 26th of June. The pictures I took were AMAZING
and Chris got some excellent interviews with protestors, including the International Executive Director of Greenpeace. I thought he was going to write something about it but I don't know now. Either way, cool, cool.
After that we met up with friends at Duffy's Tavern in Toronto to celebrate my 30th with Freedom Denied. I had a killer time and saw some rad people I hadn't seen in yeeeaars.
Speaking of Freedom Denied, I hear they'll be playing their final gig in August @ Sneaky Dee's. More on the exact date and time to come.
*P.S. I think Rats should come to that one if she can find her way to Toronto next month.*
Oh, and I keep forgetting to mention the band Brown Bird. They're a super-cool indie/folk/country/blues/grassroots band, originally from Seattle...now settled in Rhode Island. Their album The Devil Dancing is my new favourite. David Lamb is a brilliant singer/songwriter and they are all supremely talented musicians. Have a listen @ http://www.myspace.com/brownbird/music/playlists.
I don't know what else to write about, unless you want to hear about my tubular ligation. No? Oh, well, then I guess that's it for now folks.
Peace!
