Celebrate


Last night, I went to a party for my friend that died. Monique wanted all of her friends to have a Celebration of Life party for her after she was gone.
And we did. it was great to see old friends, reconnect, drink and dance!

If you look in the upper left hand corner of this photo, you will see Monique was indeed there!

Chips

I love chips! Yesterday, I got a big bag at Costco ( and I mean the BIG) bag. Plain with salt. My favourite. I love them. I can eat the whole bag- well maybey not a whole Costco bag but the smaller bigger one. I could never have an eating disorder, I love food too much. YUM. I love everything except: octopus, organ food of any kind, mussels, squid, and oysters. My favourite foods are: toast, pasta, steak, lobster, cheese , and chips. I am lucky in that I live with someone who does all the cooking. I love to eat but I don't like to cook. I like to eat. And do the dishes. And shop for food. Food glorious food- where would I be without it? People often ask me how I got to be this tall. It's because I ate so many Big Macs. Honestly.

Lovers Rock

Well if I'm going to criticize my friend for being a clutter hound, I better put my money where my mouth is. So I have spent the last week downsizing. Again. I filled my friend's car with stuff and dropped it all off ( not the car ) at the local thrift store. Boy, does it feel good! I gave away so much and I still have so much. The music that made the cut was: 1. Cesaria Evora- Miss Perfumado 2. Marlene Dietrich- Falling in Love Again 3. Oscar Petersen- Live from Chicago 4. Herb Alpert- A Taste of Honey 5. Sade- Lovers Rock 6. Edith Piaf- The Voice of the Sparrow

Who is tauping my Vancouver?

That's not my line, it belongs to Christopher Small- designer and advocate for proper colour and architecture everywhere. While standing in the rain today, we discussed the lack of " good " architectural design in our fair city. Both of us are native Vancouverites. We abhor the recent tauping of Vancouver. My personal un-favourite is the salmon peachy pink cement home. Since when is that a pretty colour in a city where it rains and rains and the peachy pink inevitably turns to.....something not- so- peachy- keen. We bemoan the faux gingerbread architecture that has found its way into Steveston - a rip off of New England architecture..... which by the way, is on the other coast, people! I guess it comes down to a matter of personal taste, or as Christopher said so diplomatically those colours/styles, " belong elsewhere."
