free! Sharon! art.
Lately I've been having a lot of surfing dreams. It's a bit weird considering i've only actually surfed three times in my life. I've paddled on a surf board a lot more than that thanks to my buddy James. On labour day weekend when we trekked up to LJ's cabin, he brought his long board and LJ's fish up so I could practice paddling and my overall feeling for being on the bloody things. I'm not sure what the muscles that run along the side of your ribs/back are called but it seems to me that their fitness is directly correlated to my ability to stay on a board - vertical or horizontal. Perhaps part of my training program is dreaming about surfing. In my dreams I'm really good. Hopefully if my travel plans this December take shape, I won't need to dream so much any more.
This weekend I received two free CDs. Have I ever mentioned my genetic disposition to all things free? This is why I still have rave flyers from 1999-2001 that I thought were particularly beautiful (and frameable), a six inch pile of promo mix CDs and a collection of coupons for the Denman Place gym that I'm building up the balls to use. If it's free I'll take it. So will my mom, her mom and probably my great grama too. We love free stuff. Costco samples - yes! Free stinky-ass perfume sample, why thank you. Weird acme kitchen untensil that I'll never use, yes please! This coupled with my inherent leaning towards extreme nostalgia, packrat decorating habits and bachelor apartments equals no bare surfaces. Ever.
I bought two pieces of art this weekend. I shouldn't have, but it's hard to resist your impulses when there's cheap red wine involved. I'm not sure why all stores don't offer free and/or cheap booze on Friday nights. Their profits would soar. My purchases were prints, so all my grocery money isn't gone. You find the artists here and here.
I've decided that Sharon Stone is my new semi-style-icon. Especially circa Casino, not necessarily Basic Instinct 2. I'm not sure why. Maybe because I think it's time to go blonde after a 5 year hiatus or maybe it's her natural, Idon'tgiveashit cougarness. I bought a new shirt from Winners today with big green wingy sleeves straight outta 1971.
