that's nothing, you should hear me play piano!

okay, continuation of my good weekend:

sunday i was invited to selebrate seis de mayo with stephanie and the farrars. lots of good food and stuff, and i got way grilled by her dad- about rob. don't worry rob, i was very discrete, and when i got to the tough spots i just fell back on the old "hmmm, i don't remember"

sunday night i went to see morrissey. i love him. read more about the show on gentle tyrants.

unfortunately, i didn't take pictures of either.

i do however, have pictures of a birthday party i once had. it was sesame street themed, and my dad came dressed as cookie monster. i'm pretty sure he terrified me.

Nothing Says Adventure Like Canada

Saturday I went to Vancouver. It looks like this:


While i was there i wanted to see explosions in the sky, but according to the dude at the record store where they sold tickets they were "sold oot". I showed up anyway at the croatian cultural center and it turned out there was plenty of room for me. It was excellent.

They looked like this:


Other things i did in Canada:

i waited in the longest line of cars ever to cross the border

i pushed my little truck to speeds of over 100 km/hr

i soreley over estimated the exchange rate and got far more canadian cash from the atm than i needed

i used what was leftover of that cash to put 25 or so "litres" of "petrol" in my car

i walked around the city a lot, but its not really interesting to relate. you would have had to have been there.

two things i have discovered:

1. - i am lousy at taking pictures of interesting things in my life.

2. - i am boring, and thus have nothing to really take pictures of anyway that aren't already on cindy's blog or someone else's.

SO, until i can get myself together and start having an interesting life, then taking pictures of it - this is a nostalgia blog.

my current project is for mothers day i am putting my mom's shoeboxes of negatives and misplaced photos onto digital cd's. not only am i a kickass son for doing this, but it provides me with plenty of nostalgic material to share when nothing else is going on.

here's one i don't remember:

mom and dad, circa the summer of '79.
(don't tell my mom. she's embarrassed by pictures of her hair)

It was a Filthy Weekend Indeed....

move here dammit!
