Argh!

Nope, this post is not dedicated to "Argh!" It's dedicated to Nauman who drove me home today! Thanks Nauman. "Argh" is actually the sound I yelped out when my sister informed me on the phone that the artist lecture I went to Ryerson for is actually supposed to take place tomorrow. This is what happens when you involve yourself in the arts. They drive you crazy I tell you. Them "artsy" people are nuts. And once you become an "artist" you become a nut too. So welcome to my life! How can I possibly be mad if I'm practically one of THEM. I can't be normal no matter how hard I try. No matter how hard I clutch that stupid TTC ticket in my hand it still somehow ends up lost on the ground and only when someone with more left brain than right attempts to guide me do I find it :D

If you don't understand what I'm going on about, I was supposed to go to Ryerson for an artist lecture that would help me with an exhibition review (essay) that I have to write about this artist. The artist is Fiona Tan. The site says her work is installation art so already I know I'm going to hate it. Anyways, my professor gave out the wrong day for the lecture so basically I went downtown for nothing. By myself. I thought I could handle being by myself but I couldn't. I almost had a million different heart attacks which made no sense since I worked downtown last year but whatever. The world is very different at night. You never know who might be sitting beside you on the subway. On the GO bus you never have these concerns!

But back to Nauman. He's a good guy. He has a habit of changing his email address too often, like 50 times a year, but he's still a good guy :D
