Amazing & Talented Friend!

I was leaving campus, about to bike home when I ran into a group of lovely classmates drawing for an Art class. It turns out that I was of suitable model caliber for a gesture drawing assignment and a very talented Alana put pencil to paper and 2 minutes later this happened:

Bravo Alana!

PS. Updates are coming from a fun-filled BEd weekend! I promise (Yasmin!)

Thanks to Kirsta for sharing this on Facebook.

These 30 seconds put a smile on my face:



It also reminded me of Pingu (Noot Noot!):




Oh Pingu:

Dan Mangan in Fredericton

This show happened way back in April (during a busy internship), but given the awesomeness of the show it deserves a post.

Two excellent Canadian musicians on the
SAME poster - almost too much to handle.

Two bands opened for Dan Mangan, both were also awesome: The Crackling and Aidan Knight. I highly suggest checking them both out. Aidan Knight was a dash of incredible musician and a dollop of hilarious comedian. If he's ever in your town go see him!

At different parts of the show all three bands played together at some point. It was great to see that much collaboration between the openers and the headliners - it was like a big party.

To end the show Dan Mangan et. al headed to the centre of the room and led a group sing along. Here's the video that I took:

Musical Flashback

Blackstreet's No Diggity popped into my head today, I'm not sure what prompted it but I'm happy that it happened.

To refresh your memory:



I never got why they used a puppet, any insights?

Dinner

Now that I'm back in Fredericton and making dinners for myself...or rather making dinner in general (Greg was very good to me in Saint John) I'm visiting some dishes that Greg cooked up and trying my hand.

One tasty meal was Bean Burritos.

I made them tonight and despite trying to cut the recipe down to make a reasonable amount I still managed to make enough to feed a small army.

They were tasty but I think I'm going to have to get creative with ways to incorporate them into all of my meals or it might spoil!

Interested in making them yourself? Here's the recipe.
