Much Ado About Nothing

I saw the Driftwood Theatre's production of Much Ado About Nothing in Trinity Bellwoods park tonight. It was fantastic! Yes, I'll admit that I did love that play already, but boy did they do a great job of it. I highly recommend going to see it if you can. Fresh air and great theatre; it's really hard to beat for a night out.

Seeing that show also reminded me of just how funny witty repartee is, and how much I like it. And to think that sort of cleverness was considered the 'Dumb and Dumber' of Shakespeare's day.

Fun Weekend

This weekend, Jamie and I got to see a lot of our friends. First was the 2nd annual Kratt BBQ. Lots of food, and fun. Discovered that it's a pretty small world out there; either that, or the aerospace world is just really small. Got to see Barry and Monica, Richard and Heather, and Glenn and Olha which was really nice. It's been a while since we'd gotten together.

On Sunday, after having lunch with my parents (oh man, seafood congee is GOOOD), Jamie and I went to see Janice, Harold, and Anderson. We got the grand tour of their new house, which is really nice, and got to meet the little monkey.

I look a little uncomfortable, huh? Well, no one ever wants to be blamed for breaking their friend's baby, right? But I suppose he survived my, and Jamie's, awkward attempts to hold him.

He's a pretty big baby for 3 weeks old!

Why is it...

...that I always pick the days that I wear white to eat spaghetti with tomato sauce, and days that I wear black to handle bleach?

I swear, it never ever fails.

Ever have one of those days...

...where you just feel grumpy and crabby for no good reason? It was only 8:30am this morning when I realized that I was having one of those already.

Any tips on how to combat this?

Update!

Wow...been a while since I last posted. I got my laptop back from repairs earlier this week, and I was very happy to find that the people at HP didn't wipe out my hard drive when they replaced the DVD drive. I was told that happens sometimes, and was fearing the worst.

Last weekend, had dinner with Mike, and the rest of the St. Mike's boys. It was a lot of fun, and I realized how long it had been since we last got together. We all get busy with our day-to-day lives, and don't live as close to each other as we used to, but it's always great when we get together. It also hit me that we've all known each other for just about 10 years now, and I felt really lucky to have made such amazing friends. I was so happy to hear that Mike and Jess are doing well in their new home, and I wish them all the best. One day Jamie and I will come and visit you ^__^

On still on the topic of friends, I had lunch with the fabulous Naana today. It's been way too long since I last saw her, so I really enjoyed having a chance to actually sit down and talk with her after so long. I miss talking to you, Naana, but I'm glad that I can still keep up with things in your blog, and that when we do get together and talk, it seems like old times ^__^

Saw Ian tonight too. It was great to catch up with him post show; review notes on what we've been doing since then, and the feedback we got from it and what our own impressions were. Even though I didn't know anyone else at that party/fundraiser thingie, I had a really great time.

So, here's to all of you, my good friends. I'm looking forward to lots more fun in the years to come, and thanks for always being there...


(hmm...what's with me being all sentimental today?)

Yay! Show's over! Boo! Show's over :(

Wow. Before I knew it, our season at PushPull was finished! Our show, 'In Our Element' played to 5 spectacular audiences, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I was definitely feeling tired after about the first 2 shows, but every time I heard the music playing, and the audience cheering, I got an instant energy jolt. Thanks to everyone involved!! I loved working with all of you, and I'm already excited about the video party!!

Happy Birthday, Nahawna!!

Just wanted to send out happy birthday wishes to my dear friend, Nahawna Afooa. Here's wishing you health and happiness, and ice cream and cake! (Green tea ice cream with hot fudge sauce, anyone?)
