this will be my last post on the halifax blog. tonight is my last night in halifax. my bedroom is empty and my bags are packed. i was surprised at how much i fitted into them. tomorrow morning my flight leaves halifax at 10am for montreal. from montreal i'll fly that afternoon to zurich, switzerland, arrive at 6am, then hop another flight to amsterdam, arrive 9am. wouter will meet me at the airport and we'll catch a train to his house.

i am super excited!

i'll report soon with my european adventures.

on saturday i went to see some music at the speakeasy with frank. the bands were experimental punk rock. they were loud and they screamed and there was generally not much rhythm. But overall there was something kinda cool about them. i really enjoyed the way everyone looked, they were dressed in 1990's.
sunday i was grateful not to have a hang over. i've been going to this bakery up the street for coffee lately. they also sell belgian chocolates :) i did buy a small packet with four little ones but they didn't live up to the real ones wouter bought for me when he came to canada.
in my spare time i have been drawing and taking photographs. I bought a polaroid back for my medium format camera. it...is...so...awesome.
although i have to buy a filter for my lens as the photos so far are very blue/cyan.
it's morning time, ie. coffee time.

If you have the time to read this article, it gives quite an impression of the area that i am living in. I have grown a sort of newtown-equse attachment to this place.

I had the opening at Eye level gallery last night. It went really well, i made $30! :)

Today there is a snow storm. the snow flakes are massive! They are gathering on the branches of the trees. it looks really cool. it's been so long since it last snowed that i almost forgot how white it is!

Tonight i am heading out to see a band. Hopefully they are good, portishead-like apparently.

I have been busy with uni work. I've been working on my essay today. This week is the opening at Eye Level Gallery. I'll be wallpapering a section of the wall with some old wallpaper i found.

better get back to it.

hope all is well.
