Sockvile gets political

 This morning Erik and I went to the legislature building and shot photos and video of empty hallways for backgrounds in one episode of Sockvile. Margaret had a day full of prep for another big art social as well as an artist trading card session (Halloween and stitching as a theme, which William was excited about), so I ended up taking him along. He's never been inside there before so it was a cool thrill.

rushing and napping

This morning I lounged around doing nothing until 11 am when I was struck with the urgency to get my film developed so I could get all of the Professor Delusia films in to a surrealist film festival in Calgary, so I got Eric to meet me at the university (today is Saturday) and we quickly developed 400 feet of colour film as black and white, dried in no time flat in the heat of the the noon sun, and loaded it up and transfered it to video and were out of there by 1:30. Margaret needed the car for an Artist Trading Cards session in Lumsden so we went as a family. The place was to capacity (about 20) so I sat outside of the main creative tables and ended up dozing in the chair. Then we went to Regina Beach, at fish at the Blue Bird (which recently changed hands but seems the same) and hung on the beach. The beach was nice because it had started clouding over so I kept my pants on and just lay around, getting yet another nap.

We drove out to Moose Jaw today, spent some time at the Moose Jaw Art Gallery where Margaret talked about artist trading cards with their staff as they are planning on holding a session in a few weeks, and then we went to the spa for a couple hours in the very warm mineral pool. Mighty nice all around.
