Leaves On Water

I took the above picture last summer at the Suspension Bridge when Sarah E, Amy and I went. Somewhere I have three other rolls of film from that day -- the trees, the height, the cliffs and the sky were of endless fascination but so far, the leaves on the water is my favourite picture. I stayed on the bridge for a long time -- it was very Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Heights don't really bother me -- I laid down on the bridge for better shots. I will need to go back, and possibly take my cousin Melissa there this summer so that we can walk across incredibly wide bridges. Because we are brave and like, XTREME like that.

Speaking of which, both Mellers and cousin Melissa are coming down this March. Mel at the beginning -- (Sarah E and Mel and I are going to spend AN ENTIRE DAY in pajamas, watching horrible movies and POSSIBLY, but THERE IS NO GUARANTEE, but PROBABLY, MAYBE, making a fort in the basement out of sheets, pillows and couch cushions. Where we can prank call the boys we like and .... I don't know. What else would adult girls pretending to be preteens on a weekend sleepover do? Sacrifice goats to L. Ron Hubbard.)

Melissa, as in my incredibly good looking, charming, hilarious cousin, is coming down at the end of March break when I come back from Chilliwack. We will be rocking the world with vodka and dancing the dance of life at various places across the city ... like my basement. I can't wait. I haven't seen Melissa since July of 2004, even though we talk every week and I have been promising to send her a damn mixed cd for a year now. Perhaps we will even audioblog, so you can hear her say things like, "I want to go back to school to become a gynecologist because I love vaginas."

Angela and I went to the Art Gallery today because we have a review on the current exhibition due tomorrow. (My review is on the painting Vortex and the disquieting science text-like collages by Kainer.) I signed the book for us.
