my friend emailed me the new swan lake album today and what i’ve heard so far is pretty fantastic. swan lake is comprised of pretty much my favourite musicians in canada – carey mercer from frog eyes, dan bejar from destroyer and the new pornographers, and spencer krug from sunset rubdown and wolf parade. bam!

since my ipod was wiped clean a few months ago, i’ve gotten into the habit of stealing entire collections of music off of the hard drives of various people i know in an effort to catch back up. the best part about doing this is that you end up with so many guilty pleasure awesome songs that you’d completely forgotten about until JUST THAT MOMENT.

besides ridiculous activities, we spent alot of this weekend eating.

an insane marathon of a weekend, i’m looking forward to a week of being good humans and going to bed early.

a buzzing friday at the agency + waiting for my last meeting to start. this weekend is gonna be soooo awesome, because LOMANG and wordy are back in town, because of bananas at shelter, because of the dingbats brasil exhibit tomorrow at the foundry, because of the daedalum films screening of up from the underground (hardqueen documentary), because of ……. whew. there is so much stuff going on this weekend, it’s ridiculous. where you gonna go, what you gonna do?

the photo above is from beijing — the only vanity plate i’ve ever seen in china. you can also see adrian strutting off to the side. he’s hardcore.

FUN!

found this little guy in my sink the other night, i properly freaked out, screamed like a little girl and left the house running. this morning, i woke up and saw him again (i hope it was the same guy), except this time he was dead, still in the sink laying on his back, creepy little legs sticking straight out.

where there is one there is a million, right? time to bust out the raid, summer has hit shanghai.

1) when i’m laying in bed.
2) when i’m riding my bike.

busy busy busy, deep breath xx.

massive weekend in beijing for the strawberry festival. also got to go to hot pot & also the 3rd anniversary of one of my favourite bars in the world. d22 awesomeness. carsick cars awesomeness. overindulgence and unbelievably ridiculous happenings. i don’t think we went to bed before the sun came up once. there was alot of strung out insane behavior. it was so fun!!

i uploaded a ton of photos from the weekend to flickr, so check out my strawberry festival flickr set. i’m gonna need a couple days to recuperate. my body will never be the same. chase the dream, not the paper!! xx.

ps. i forgot to mention, i fake dj’d at c’s bar on thursday night for their indie night party, it was so fun! someone needs to teach me how to mix properly. now that kidplastik is in town, i think that someone is going to have to be him. internets forever yo.
