7-25-2010



We woke up bright and around noon, and Nicole put on her Sunday's best to go to Home Depot. Really, we were tipped off by my co-worker (hi Jen!), and went to brunch at Le Petit Triangle Cafe. We eat in this area all the time, but hadn't been to this restaurant before. As a connoisseur of crepes and breakfast foods in general, this is now one of Nicole's favorite weekend spots. I'm sure I'll be posting a lot more pictures from this patio in the future. This is totally just a "look what my lens can do!" picture.

Then we went sight seeing around places we go all the time. Look, there's houses, and stores, and industry, and stuff everywhere.

Then we looked a more antique things, and fancy stuff. We go to the same antique stores so much that we've become familiar with all the people and cats that work at the stores. This cat was even on my blog before when I took pictures of it with my Leica on January 31st (it's a very photogenic cat). Today, I was also interested in heads and manniquins. Then we went to the craft store in preperation for various house projects.

The first project was to launch Nicole's tough-guy graffiti career. Really she wanted to finish painting a cabinet I started months ago but never finished (note: she spraypaints with two hands and her thumb like a little kid). The big project was to replace the hooks and hang the stack of framed butterflies that have been piled up in our house since last year. We plan to grow the collection into a huge, asymmetrical, Barry McGee-esque cluster over time. We also put up the new cat song Nicole got this weekend. She also got this Italian phone this weekend. We're quckly on our way to having the girliest house in the neighbourhood.

There was pretty stuff in the yard. Then we went to look at antiques. I found antique punk rock, and antique graffiti, but there's no such thing as antique vegetarianism. People back then weren't as considerate about animals. Nicole got her hair done. Then we saw this on the way home.
