I made this necklace for my sister Alice's (belated) birthday. It's pretty easy, attaching the chain and whatnot, and I get kind of zoned in on what I'm doing and then I kind of want to make like 50. I just wish I could stop sending jumprings flying all over the floor when I try to re-close them.

I was really overwhelmed on Saturday when I went to what I thought was a bbq at Britt's... and it was, but instead of the 10-20 people I was expecting, it was a fundraiser which had in attendance basically every lesbian in East Van. There were at least a hundred people, and there I am like an idiot with my homemade bean salad, frantically looking around for someone I know. I found Kaylie, thank fuck, and Malloreigh arrived not long afterwards. Apparently they weren't expecting it to be like that, either.

There were a few other people I knew, and I met some all right new people, but mostly I felt kind reclusive, and the mushrooms Britt gave us didn't help (though they did make me care less about how I looked lying on the front lawn staring at a tree). I suppose I'm not cut out for a full weekend of partying the way I was a few years ago.

Downtown, on Hornby I believe. This building was reflected in another building.

My tomato plant has tiny tomatoes growing on it! :D

My hair is growing, and starting to look kind of mullet-y. I forgot how sweaty it gets in the summer, having hair at the back of your neck.

Jeff, Jesse, Sarah and I went to Bin 941 for dinner (and wine). It was wonderful. When we got home Jesse asked me to take his picture, so I did.

Jeff and I spent the afternoon at Jericho Beach. It was kind of windy so I didn't really swim, but we both got in some reading time and I took a few photos. Then we went for beer and bison burgers at the sailing club, which was of course overpriced, but delicious.
This photo kind of makes me think of the Vancouver sucks/please don't move here video (which I cannot find otherwise I would post it), because I am half like FUCK YEAH I LIVE IN THE BEST CITY EVER and the other half is like omg we need like 1/3 of the people who live here to go to the Queen Charlottes or something so that maybe we can sometimes get a seat on the skytrain and find a place to live for under a million dollars.

Jeff and I went to Chris Waddell/Norm/Dave's housewarming in Coquitlam. It was surprisingly not obnoxious the way hanging out with Chris and Norm can generally be. There were a lot of pretty all right people, and delicious bbq and drinks to be had. Jeff's crazy ex-girlfriend (ok, one of them) showed up and that was kind of amusing; I'd never met her before and after talking to her for five minutes I could see that everything people said about her was completely true.
The house was quite nice, large with two kitchens and an impressive porch. Times like that you really see the differences between living in the city vs. the suburbs.

Suz and MaryAnne at Trout Lake for Jen and MaryAnne's post-wedding barbecue. They are thoroughly enjoying a pinwheel-topped cupcake. And, because I didn't take any photos on the 22nd, you get a bonus photo of Luka!

Good old Mr. Face.
