Goodbyes

On Wednesday 9 June, I spent the day out with one of my best friends Molly. She would be leaving for her month-long European adventure on the Sunday, so I wanted to hang out before she left. We had to go to our university first because Molly had an interview for an Arts program there (which she did awesome in, so we're now at the same university together again), and I had to hand in an assignment, but then it was off to the city for lunch and to visit the Art Gallery.

We had lunch at Pancakes & Grill and were very naughty - we had pancakes for lunch.

Molly had the Brandied Apricots.
I had the Blueberry Heaven.
There was a new exhibition at the Art Gallery that we wanted to see, the Patricia Piccinini Relativity exhibit. It was just amazing, and so realistic, and ... frightening in a way. My favourite sculpture was The Stags 2008. The only thing that dragged the day down was me, literally. I still couldn't walk properly after injuring my foot, so I was limping around everywhere and Molly had to walk slower because of it.

The weather took a cold turn that day with Winter finally setting on (notice the matching blog template change). And the perfect way to stay warm on a cold day is ... coffee. Or a cold drink, as Miss Molly decided. She's nutty.

Here's Molly checking out my Wise Blood book.
By that time it was already past 5 o'clock, so Molly drove me the short distance to where my mom works in a business district and I got a ride home with my mom. I love being out at night.

This is the view from mom's 14th floor office.

When I got home I got a nice surprise: Jill over at the now finished blog, Today I Saw, had sent me another postcard. I feel so lucky to have gotten two from her considering she only sent out one postcard a day for a year.

Pretty good day.


Reading: Wise Blood by Flannery O'Connor, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang by Chelsea Handler (want to read more non-fiction these holidays)
Listening to: "All The Right Moves" by One Republic, "Monster" and "Dance in the Dark" by Lady Gaga, "Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult" ("More cowbell!") and "Don't Fear The Reaper" (cover) by The Mutton Birds (from one of my favourite movies The Frighteners), and "Automatic" by Tokio Hotel (seriously fascinated by these guys)
