What a wonderful weekend - I don't even know where to start. As most weekends do.. I guess I'll start with Friday.
Ian and I went to Saul Williams on Friday night. I have to say, it was a truly transcendental night. Good drinks, good food, good friends; and Saul. He was amazing. There's so much power in his voice, so much conviction - it's almost militant. When he was speaking with the beats in the background his whole being got into it, he rocked out pretty hard. And then when he was simply speaking, it was almost just as musical, he has such an amazing voice. The energy from the crowd, the fact that everyone was having such a good time, that everyone who was there really wanted to be there - it was phenomenal. It was a truly amazing night, and it was a pleasure to share it with such a good friend!
Slept in Saturday until late in the afternoon, lazing in bed and relaxing, reading. Didn't really get up until later in the afternoon when Ian got off of work, and we made the trip out to Ikea. I needed a mat for the kitchen and some towels, and Ian needed a coffee pot and so forth, so we headed out there after work. It's been a pretty beautiful weekend, about 20 degrees both days. Still a titch too cold for me.. but better than the wet awful rain that it's been. Ian and I just chilled after that, hung out at his house, drank wine, watched some good movies, until some of his friends showed up. Enjoyed chatting with them (I think I know 3 of his friends all named Colin now..). Spent the night laughing and chatting with one of the Colins, well travelled and interesting guy - left for the UK early this morning sometime. *laugh* Ships in the night.
Slept a couple hours this morning, then headed out with Ian to get the rest of our chores done. We went out to West Edmonton to check out the new shops, did a little bit of window shopping. We're such bad influences on each others spending habits, it's not even funny. (Really. Not even.) So we headed out of there in a hurry.
Went to Culina for dinner, compliments of Ian. There's something about that restaurant that just gaurentees a fabulous time. Sunday nights are my favorite, the family style set menu relieves any pressure on choosing the right meal - it's all done for you. So we chatted and enjoyed ourselves immensely - as we've done all weekend. It was the perfect end to a Sunday night, and the perfect way to end a weekend. It was nice to be out with a friend, laughing and having a good time. Hell, it was just nice to be happy again.
Getting ready to go see Bryan at the end of the month, have to really work hard so I don't miss anything. I'm determined to get my hands on as many of the bursaries as I can, so I really need every second to study and work until I leave. Hope everyone is well - stay warm, stay safe.
