on saturday morning i met dr. e at steeps on whyte for tea and gossip. it was really nice to hang out, because we haven't done so for a couple of months. we hung out for about an hour and a half, and then i walked home to clean up my house. a girl i know has been asking me to teach her how to make wallets, so i had planned to have a crafting day so that a bunch of us could hang out and i could show her how i do the wallets. however, she got sick that day and couldn't show, so i just had a quiet hang-out with claire and jessica. mostly i just played old-school nintendo (super mario brothers 3 on original NES) and talked with jess while claire drew and wrote an amazing postcard for her crush. i love crushing on boys in the company of those girls, because they as inclined to swoon and overanalyze and give in to a rollercoaster of emotions as i am. claire had to leave after about an hour to go to work, so jessie and i walked her to her work, and stopped at the movie studio, where we rented "in the realms of the unreal." i had been meaning to rent it for quite a while, but it seemed like one of those movies that you have to be in a very particular mood for. anyway, we watched it at my house, and i knitted my raven as we watched it, and it was super interesting. jessie left shortly afterwards to go to the hayden concert, but i stayed at home to get some studying done.
on sunday the 10th, i worked at the legislature from 11:45 until 5:15. it was totally dead, and i didn't give a single tour all day. after work, i came home, and emery texted me to ask if he could use my sewing machine for a bit before we went to a movie we'd planned on seeing. he told me he'd come over at around 7:00, but by 7:45, i still hadn't heard from him, so, feeling quite irritated, i tried to call him from my cell phone, and realized it wasn't working. i then tried my home phone, and realized that it, too, hadn't been working. i called him from my sister's cell and found out that he'd been trying to get a hold of me all that time, but, realizing he couldn't reach me, had gone to school to get a bit of work done. anyways, at 8:30, we met at the basement of my apartment, where he gave me a creme egg for the movie. nice! then he drove us (in his roommate's borrowed vehicle) downtown to the metro cinema to see "helvetica," a documentary on the typeface of the same name. the film was magical, and felt like a love letter to the font. emery drove me home afterwards and i went to bed.
on monday morning, i got up at 6:15 so i could be at the bissell at 8:00. i talked a lot with bev, the volunteer coordinator, and with angie. i went to cree class at noon, and then napped for part of the afternoon. i went to my popping and locking class from 7:35 until 8:55.
tuesday was filled with class and studying for midterms.
