Things From Today

february 27 2009
Look my new friend, that smiley guy.  I met a real life friend for a walk down Queen West and he was a gift.  That’s him on my desk there, amidst my Post-it note to-do system.  He rolls around all over because when I type I pound the crap out of my keyboard.

We went to Chippy’s for dinner and it’s amazingness.  And I don’t even really like fish.  

Then I tucked my new friend into my pocket and went to guard a dance at The Great Hall

My Cab Driver is a Big Deal Artist

I was pretend working with Jody and realized I was gonna be late for my meeting so I hailed a cab.

Me: Sorry dude but I only have $10 on me so we can only go $8 far, plus tip.
Him: Oh don’t worry, I’ll get you there and you just give me the $10 regardless.
Me: That’s SO nice. february 26 2009

So off we go and we’re chatting and he tells me his name is Farhad and he was a renowned artist in Persia.  Like, some of his below works were displayed in their national museum, people would ask for his autograph, neat eh!  

 
The pottery peices are his specialty, and bottom right is a painting.  I guessed those were Arabiac words designed in but he said no, that’s the Persian language.  Farhad’s gonna have an art show soon so he said he’d email me when he does.
