Imagine, Baby!

I shall start with tonight's song: Make the Girl Dance, Baby Baby Baby. This is not the style of music that I usually like but this one is stuck in my head.

I made raw vegan apple pie

Baby Baby Baby

It was so delicious I could die

Baby Baby Baby

I will post awesome pics soon

Baby Baby Baby

Probably at the start of June

Alrighty, enough of that. I am not a poet. You can find the music video for that song on youtube. Most men will appreciate it. Some ladies too.

I finally went to see the Imagine exhibition at the Musee des Beaux Arts here in Montreal. For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, it is an exhibition about John Lennon and Yoko Ono. I think it is intended to commemorate the honeymoon Bed-in for peace that they did at the Queen E. I love that it is free and people are encouraged to touch things, leave notes on tags hanging from trees, take pictures and upload them to a Web site, etc. I didn't like that even though I went on a Thursday afternoon, there were so many people that it was hard to really look at anything.

Now, as a poor artiste allow me to bitch a tad about art in general...a few of the pieces were testimonials to the fact that fame changes artistic standards. What I mean to say is that if an artist who wasn't famous had done the same drawings then they would probably just be dismissed. The fact that John Lennon made those sketches makes them interesting and historically significant. This is a half-hearted bitch because I am in awe of the longevity of both John Lennon and Yoko Ono's mystique. Modern day celebs try to move from music to art, acting, fashion lines etc. and though they might make a go of it, they probably will never reach the icon status or be remembered in 30 years. All the same, it would seem the key to life is fame. It can also be the key to destruction.

If you want details on the exhibition go to: Musee des Beaux Arts, Montreal.

Baby.

Good-night!

P.S. Omigod! I was watching Donnie Darko last night and even though I've seen it before, this time I realized that Seth Rogen was in it. He plays a bully. He's one of my favourite actors.

Broken Laptop and Collected Events

I broke my laptop a few days ago. All my pics are on the laptop and I can't post them until it gets fixed. The laptop itself is actually fine, (yippee!) but the power cord is wrecked and I can't charge the computer. It broke when I tripped on the cord with my dainty hoof and pulled the laptop off the table onto the floor. As luck would have it, the cord detached from the laptop but then the laptop landed on the little thingie that attaches the cord to the computer. It is squished almost flat and I fear I shall require a new one altogether. Being an artiste can be hard on the pocketbook and so I must wait for a little money until I can fix the darn thing.

Today I am having a good laugh because my roommate is playing on his PS3 as usual and he is discovering Playstation Home. What a dreadful world! He can make someone that sort of looks like him and do stuff like go to the mall and go bowling. Never mind that he would not do these things in real life. So far it seems that Playstation Home World should change its name to Sausageville. The ladies are few and far between.

This week was quite busy. I went to a lovely play on Thursday night with Lilia. The play was called 'Bookshop'. It was family-friendly romantic comedy stuff. All the actors did a great job and it was a pleasant evening. I am a little disappointed that I can't find more info. about it online. It was at the Segal Theatre on Côte St-Catherine and the tickets were free at la maison de la culture on Côte de Neige. I heard that the play is translated from French. If anyone knows what I am talking about, please e-mail me!

On Tuesday I met up with another artiste from the group I joined and played model. If you have seen my pics on here, you know that I love to model!

Last Monday I also went to an event with Ange. It was a night of poetry and music with an Inuit theme at la Sala Rosa on St-Laurent. I had a terrific time there as well. The performers all did a great job, esp. Moe Clark who did some really cool a cappella stuff. She made multi-layered songs by recording different sounds on-the-spot. I am not a music expert but I liked what I heard.

I have finished the book Success by Martin Amis. 'Twas an enjoyable read except for the last page or so. I don't quite understand what happens to one of the characters.
