Richard's birthday!
I got a lot done that day and had a blast of a time. I love doing things by myself (only child represent!) and spent much of the time doing my favorite things.
In the morn, I went to the library to get some "homework" done but ended up reading books on Iceland, Art Deco, Bauhaus, and Robert Steadman for about 5 hours. I absolutely love to read and anytime spent reading up about interesting things is always glee!
After, went to go eat at Tim Hortons and then off to the Vancouver Art Gallery! I haven't checked out the gallery since summer and wanted to check out the new exhibitions before they ended. "WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution" was pretty good. I loved how they decided to divide all of the art by themes, very different and cool. Was super excited to see some Yoko Ono performance art pieces on video. "Cut Piece" is even more dramatic when you see it on video!
Best part of art gallery: Kai Althoff. Hands down. Extremely over-the-top and whimsical, loved his sculptures and the weaving room! The weaving room was amazing and I learned how to weave!! It's so simple and fun, i wove on the loom for about 20 minutes, haha. I strongly encourage you to check it out it you have time! Kai's exhibition is on till Feb 25, 2009!
Stayed at the Gallery for about 4 hours and then at 6pm, I left to go to Aki and buy Richard's cake at Urban Fare. Mmmmm, Triple Chocolate Mousse. :)
Super yummy food at Aki as per usje! It was great just to spend time with my favorite people and meet new people! Wahoo!
After Aki, we were sooo full but decided to head over (and when I say head over, I mean walk across the hall) to Fantacity and sing karaoke! I LOVE FANTACITY! New favorite place! I was so hyper and excited!! They had sooo many Queen songs, and Muse, and OMG! COME WHAT MAY FROM MOULIN ROUGE! Moulin Rouge = one of my fave movies of all time. James and I sang a duuuuuet for that song and it has been divined that we are totally musically sympatico! FUN TIME!
Awesome day filled with favorite people, things, places, activities, food, and the such!!
Always,
Half Alison
