first impressions of

i just purchased the new strokes, first impressions of earth. and my first impression is i love love love the strokes. the first track, 'you only live once' has one of the best intros to an album i've heard in awhile. it makes me want to dance dance dance.

i was at the national art gallery this afternoon as well. that's one awesome thing about living in ottawa - you can go see some cool art whenever you want. my favourite is always the contemporary art, because it's so weird. this time around, there was this huge baby head - and i mean huge. it must have been like ten feet tall. there was also a piece by andy warhol on display, which was cool. the special exhibit was a showing of the art of christopher pratt, a canadian artist. his stuff was wicked cool, and the kind of art i actually enjoy looking at.

the other thing i love about ottawa is the ability to have impromptu trips to monteal. looks like i'm off to the big m next weekend, for a fun time of shopping and not understanding french. maybe i'll go back to the biodome and visit the penguins. they're so dang cute! cute like the boy working the parking booth at the art gallery. mmmm....cute boys.

gosh dang it, i love this new album. hingston girls, go buy it! it's muchos excellente.
