i just watched the movie 'everything is illuminated'. it was a small road movie that had me laughing hysterically for the first half, and pondering deeply for about 15 minutes after the credits had rolled. if you want a thinking movie, you should definitely put up with watching elijah wood for two hours, and i guarantee you'll leave thought-provoked.
it has been a week of errand running and putting off other errands. it has been full to the brim with a road trip to southern ontario, sampling all of the mexican cuisine in greater ottawa area and hitting up bluesfest. last week, i felt like i had TONS of time until i left but now as a i lie in my bed on a sunday night seven days later, i realize that is not really the case! i have been running all the necessary errands slowly, so as not to disrupt my relaxed state. but right now, i am biting my nails, and that is always a bad sign. i have seen almost all the people i wanted to see, and i have had more than enough time to relax and catch up on six years worth of sleep. no more excuses, this week is crunch time!
however, before i move to productive mode, i am going to reflect on the weekend's events.
friday night mom took me out for mexican food on the market. along with incredible food, we were graced by the presnce of a mariachi-style band! then new hundreds upon hundreds of songs and even humoured me by playing my requests of colombian pop stars. erin way would be proud.
elena had a BBQ party that began at 3 saturday afternoon, and i didn't actually get home until 3am on sunday morning! somehow, i got convinced to go downtown (against my better judgement) and the next thing i knew tequila shots were flying, pictures were being snapped, and i was teaching katie how to salsa dance. let me tell you, this morning was ROUGH. wake up, pop two tylenols, chug a waterbottle, go back to bed kind of rough.
i was temporarily productive this afternoon, but it was quickly interrupted with my dad's car breaking down and my second mexican meal of the weekend. elena, ryan and katie took me out for a lovely dinner at feleena's on bank street. while the food was not as delicious as azteca, out waiter/owner charmed us and i would definitely be back. for the next few days i am going to shy away from mexican food because it is what i am going to be stuck with for the next two years... i better take advantage of selection while i still have it!
with that, i am going to hit the pillow and wake up productive and illuminated. let's hope.
