Fresh…although, not so fresh
April 25th, 2010
This post is almost a year in the making now. I took a trip to Toronto last August and while there I came across this awesome vegan/vegetarian restaurant on Spadina Ave. called Fresh, which happened to have an even better italian restaurant right next door. I, being the devout carnivore, got the veggie burger so I could at least pretend I was eating meat. I ended up stopping by several times during my trip.

In light of recent (becoming distant) events, I decided to make a break-up playlist. Maybe it’s a little lame, maybe it’s a little depressing, but hey, it made me laugh. *Note* These songs don’t have any connection to my previous relationship. I just like them. Enjoy.
LCD Soundsystem – “Someone Great”
MSTRKRFT – “Heartbreaker”
Snow Patrol – “You Could be Happy”
Grizzly Bear – “Knife”
Billie Holiday – “Solitude”
Fiest – “The Park”
Airborne Toxic Event – “Sometime Around Midnight”
Postal Service – “District Sleeps Along Tonight”
Earl Greyhound – “It’s Over”
Jeff Buckley – “Last Goodbye”

Yinka Shonibare

I’m a little delayed on posting this, but there’s been an awesome exhibit at DC’s African Art Museum by Yinka Shonibare. He takes classic scenes portrayed in previous art works (literature, operas, paintings, etc.) and reconstructs them using colorful textiles, headless mannequins, or erotic positioning to show a completely different perspective. Although, no photography was allowed, I snapped a couple shots. Don’t tell anyone.
oh, it’s all too real

The past weekend was an adventure for anyone living in the capital city, thanks to the first blizzard of the season. It reminds me of when I was a kid. Gradually, snow storms would start further and further into winter, making everyone ask “Will we have a white Christmas?” And sure enough, a blizzard would come just before the holiday and cover everything with it’s beautiful, yet bitter cold ornament. I had forgotten about those winters, when snow angels line the streets, grocery stores close early, and adults get snow days too.
