Life needs change.

CHANGE #20051014
went to go see ‘carmen’ last night at the hummingbird centre. it was AWESOME! this was the first time i’ve seen something by the coc and i want to go again. the only problem was the seats. it was SO cramped. and i normally don’t have a problem because i’m so short. but we were sitting in front of the stairs on the balcony section. i got a cramp in my neck because of the seats. there’s a railing that follows the contours of the stairs and the opening so it’s on the way of the stage. you can’t sit back and enjoy. but you can’t really sit up straight because your legs end up feeling VERY cramped. *sigh. wish i could watch it again, but at a better view. there’s something goosebump-inducing about watching something live and hearing it live. richard bradshaw is  and awesome conductor and i hope he doesn’t retire or leave for a very long time.

i live across the street from a lighthouse. i got used to the ONE bright, foglight that they use for the light above the garage, but then they changed their porchlight, and outdoor lightbulbs to those piercingly bright ones. you know in the winter when it’s snowing at night and everything is pink? that’s how bright my room is except without the bloomin’ pink! i should coat my blinds with reflective paint so that it shines back at their house. they leave the light on as soon as it gets partially dark and leave it on until about 8am. i tell my parents we don’t even need our on anymore because it’s so bright.

had my first volunteer shift at the design exchange conference yesterday. it was ok. i got to sit in one of the lectures. i kinda wished i was there for the keynote though, because it was bruce mau and Brigitte shim. i wish that hani rashid was speaking for one of the seminars, he’s going to be at ocad tonight though. boo. tomollo i go to help set up for the gala… apparently there’s going to be ice sculptures and cars. iiiiiiiiiiinteresting. then i go on sunday to help clean up. i was going to help out with the gala, but the shift is from 8-1. i don’t want to get stranded downtown and in my bitter unemployed state (yes, i still consider myself unemployed) i think i might just say a snide comment or two to all the rich hoity-toity folks that show up for the gala. i don’t think it’d be a good idea.

i’ve noticed that lately when me and mel are out for dinner or we go to see the symphony or something people look at us trying to figure out if we’re lesbians or not. wtf?! it’s strange. even this guy i was talking to who was going to work for the ex, but quit i told him i had to leave to meet up with a friend he asked, ‘ooooh a boy or a girl?’ to which i replied, ‘my best friend who’s a girl.’ and he was still curious like oooooooh 2 girls eh? what business is it of yours and why does it matter? so what?! if 2 guys go out for a bite to eat it doesn’t mean they’re gay anymore than 2 chicks are lesbians. what depraved people!
