Good lord, I really haven't posted in ages, have I? My apologies! It's what happens when I'm away/busy* three weekends in a row, I'm afraid - and I've got two more weekends out of the city before this run is done. It's been a blast to date, and I'm so psyched about our Ottawa road trip this weekend, but honestly I'd kind of kill for a plain weekend home to just catch up on sleep, email, and cleaning...
*okay, I was here this weekend, but what with Nuit Blanche taking up Saturday evening and night, and the attendant fatigue most of Sunday, there wasn't actually much of the weekend left. :P
So, what have I been up to, anyway? WELL. Three weekends ago I was in Hamilton for the simply wonderful EarthArt exhibition at the Royal Botanical Gardens, two weekends ago I was up at my parents' place for the weekend and to enjoy the Purple Hills Art Society fall regional studio open house, and this weekend was of course Nuit Blanche. It's been a rather art-tastic few weeks! I'm halfway through a post on all that with loooots of pictures (and my first-ever YouTube video! Not of me, just of one of the art installations), but in the meantime I shall blather shamelessly about a topic near and dear to me: Supernatural! :D
( Cut for Season 4 spoilers through 4.03 and out of deference to my friends who just don't care ;P )
In other news, I have joined zip.ca (one of those online DVD rental companies) which promises to be my undoing. It's a little scary how many I've managed to go through in the past week alone. O_o But I am loving it. You know all those movies you vaguely want to see someday but don't care enough to actually take the time to rent, so you just never get around to them? Well, they're now all on a list and will just be quietly and efficiently sent to me sometime when I least expect it. I've already loved the hell out of March of the Penguins and Angels in America (both of which are just incredible). Damn, I look FORWARD to opening my mailbox now that I get something other than bills! :D In the other hand, you may just never see me again.... ;)
