Valentine's

Valentine's came and went, sort of. Never been affected by it until yesterday. Perfect example of how consumerism gets you in its vice. Felt kind of bummed.

Went to school, did some work (PWP is moving along. Will post some updates soon.) Went out to lunch with Mark and Inessa at the Design Office, where Mindy (my instructor) is the manager. They take care of all the posters, invitations, reports etc., that need to be designed as soon as Cooper puts something out. It was weird to go have "lunch"-lunch. At a proper lunch-restaurant. At lunch-time. With lunch-specials. With non-students. I think the latter was the most weird. I've become so used to my flexible student-schedule and bringing my own food to school that actually sitting at that restaurant in that way brought back memories of the office-jobs I've held. Not sure whether they were good or bad memories. Perhaps both.

Got my screen.

Size-comparison.
(look at the size of the sucker!)




Prepared it for use and then met up with Sara to check out Good World which apparently is a......Swedish-owned place. (They also have a big reindeer on the wall). Amelia (see pic) apparently has a Swedish mom (I told you I can't escape them!) and recommended the place. Went there and had a coffee, but it wasn't that good. Since me and Sara both have our birthdays in April we were thinking about going there for princess-cake sometime though. (The link is to a Swedish bakery in Vancouver for those of you who want to try)

We moved on for delicious grilled sandwiches at the Grey Dog and called it a night. All in all: bad day that got better through good people. Screw you Valentine.


Today I'm meeting with James to discuss ideas for the End-of-Year-Show poster. Ideas and/or inspiration welcome!

Grilled sandwiches improve any Valentine.
