Dad's depiction of Winni...it's perfect

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii,

Quick little update 'cause this piggy peg girl is totally exhausted!!!

So here is some of recent life in brief:

This weekend was good. Very good. But mostly it was very good because it was kick started with a Final Fantasy and Timber Timbre show, two of my most beloved Toronto bands. I went to the show with Kellee and Chris who are awesome and lovely and friends of friends of mine in T.O. The night actually started with some time spent in Kellee and Chris' living room, drinking an amazing whisky and fresh blueberry concoction and having a total cute overload as K and C's 2 yr. old son went through a picture book with the babysitter saying all sorts of amazing toddler things AND two of the cutest mutty dogs lay sleeping on top of one another at my feet. That level of cuteness is hard for me, makes everything feel like it's bursting inside.

The show itself was magic which is entirely in keeping with both of those performers... it's so incredible that they were touring together, similar to the cuteness overload, this show gave me 'shivers and chills' overload! Note to any of you who have managed to never see a FF or TT show, I urge to check both of them out ASAP. Notably, this was also the first non-rap concert that I have been to since arriving here--- in fact I have probably seen more rap shows in the past month than I have seen in my entire life before moving to Winnipeg, so strange. After the show Kellee, Chris, myself and Taylor from TT went to a pub in the exchange district and funess continued.

Final Fantasy and Timber Timbre played at a place called the West End Cultural Center which was probably the fanciest place I have been too since I moved to this city. Have I mentioned before that NOTHING is fancy here? Or at least nothing I have seen. I'm sure there is a fanciness but it is not a predominant feature. Which is actually pretty incredible and truly changes the atmosphere of the city. This particular venue has recently been renovated and has a big spacious and somewhat formal/dignified feeling to it. It was really relaxing to actually be somewhere that was just a big simple space, i.e. no t.v.'s or carpets or gambling machines.

Other good details of the weekend:

- I watched two episodes of True Blood which really is good! It's tacky and over the top but soooo compelling at the same time. I think it's the characters, they are so distinct and actually kind of complex... they draw you right in. It's also that it's set in the South, the South always gets me...

- Dane and I drank Booster Juice which I have only recently discovered and have found it to be a fairly good substitute for Fresh smoothies and an excellent hangover remedy.

- My readings for school proved to be excessively interesting. Learning now about Attachment theory which as the author articulated it is actually a theory that tries to understand the importance of love for psychological development and well being. Sounds big and overly simple but please know this is 'cause I am too tired to properly flesh it out. In actuality it is so fascinating and what I have been dying to learn about for years. LOVE. I am studying LOVE.

Lovelovelove,
