So far, today has been a good Friday indeed. I have been watching an ace photography documentary series my parents told me I’d love ( and that’ll hopefully get me into the right frame of mind for my dissertation), making hair bows and am currently waiting for my apricot flapjacks to finish baking. Then tonight, [...]

Everything’s Gone Green

I’m streaming Everything’s Gone Green online. It’s this sweet little indie film we saw at the Vancouver International Film Festival, with a screenplay by Coupland. He was there when we saw it, as were the cast and it was an amazing night. It makes me feel weird watching it again, but also all glowy. I [...]
Hmmm

Confusion: it seems the general claim amongst Vancouver geographers is that the epicentre of the Skid Row district shifted from 100 East Hastings, to 100 West. So fair enough. Yet the notoriously dodgy corner when I was there was still Hastings and Main, much further East in city terms. So how does that work? Maybe [...]

Mmm Green Man was good. I got back a few hours ago ( after train trauma) and now am squeaky clean, but with coconut in my hair.
The weather was fairly hideous, but not too bad.I must remember to take more jumpers/scarfs/mittens to End of the Road. I saw everyone I’d expected to, all were lovely. [...]
So as it stands…

…it turns out not going to that Jeff Wall talk at the VAG was a bit of a mistake. But I remember I had some sort of essay deadline for the Monday and I was going to Victoria or Portland but oh, fool.
Somerset is lovely and it helps that we have a beeaaaauutiful view and [...]

Ah Toronto, our last port of call.
I had been here once before, when I was a young tyke. All I remembered from then was the heat, the shiny buildings, maple ice cream with sugar cage, seeing lots of Claes Oldenburg and a Louise Bourgeois exhibit that gave me nightmares. I had fun then but to [...]

Hello hello. I am on the train to Toronto, having been to New York and Montreal since we last spoke. Welcome. The train’s actually almost over, thus I do not have long to write but I needed to finish my copy of Garp you see. Except somehow along the way, since the purchase of said [...]

I am finding this blog business very hard to keep up with. No time, no internet, too impatient to bother. *grumble*
Today I am in New York, but as I haven’t written about the past few days, I’ll try a quick one for Chicago:
- The Museum of Contemporary Art, as expected, is much more interesting than [...]
