More Artists

Another quiet day in the Annex. The day was mostly spent just organizing all the stuff (and getting my ass kicked in Guitar Hero 2), clearing the room of all the packing paper, moving boxes and other assorted implements of a move to the other side of the planet, and hanging up all the paintings the Wife brought with her, which, of course, she painted herself. Now aside from the fact that everything has been stuffed into fully assembled shelves merely for the sake of stuffing (to be properly organized over the next few days) our home is finally HOME. It is ours and we just need to arrange it “just so” but feels for the most part like our own place.

The evening was spent meeting another one of the artists the Wife has had contact with, who happens to also live in the Annex district. He’s a pretty cool guy who has little recollection of a childhood spent as refugee from Vietnam, living in a camp in Malaysia before finally coming with his family to Canada. Once again, some exceptionally good pizza was consumed and then it was back home to drink coffee, discuss and reinforce to the Wife that she has a legitimate shot as an artist in Canada and doesn’t suck simply because she came from Singapore.

Speaking of sucking, there’s more Guitar Hero to be played…
