the weekend (well, sorta)

Saturday - quiet night in, 3 glasses of wine.

Sunday @ Southbridge:

it was jam night. and it was great. Aya, Boon & Eddie played a great rendition of Mack the Knife, with like 10 key changes?? at one point i think A said "no key!" A is positively mad. this i confirmed the next night.

(oh - and the singer Amanda Jansen from the U.S. - she has got a great voice. and very friendly as well. go and listen before she goes back! soon! IMO definitely much better than their regular singer.)

Monday night out with A & B:

A wanted someone to teach her to play pool better. so B asked me along. i was a bit worried that i would be lousy again as i am playing with a sprained thumb. anyway, we went to this place on Prinsep St. and her friends joined us for doubles. there was a lot of laughter, screaming (mostly by A), and repetition of "1 inch! 1 inch!". there were some pretty good shots made as well, and throughout the night, she kept referring to me as "sensei" which made me quite paiseh. but i must say she is a really grateful student. the kind we should have in all our schools.

A makes me laugh - she deliberately fell on the floor a couple of times, and that, i attribute to her amazing ability to have a bloody good time, and her sense of madness.

we proceeded to a gay pub on Amoy St. (A's favourite joint) owned by her friend after her friends left. (good boys lah - must work next day what.) this place is really cool - a nice place to chill out, and the cost of drinks really isn't too bad. ($6 for a housepour. happy hour all night long??) but just as you think you are having a nice quiet drink/chat, some crazy boys appear out of nowhere and one of them invited me to spank his boyfriend/ex-boyfriend's butt?! gosh. and then 18 year old girls who act like they so desperately needed to be fucked. anyway, we had great fun, and A even rapped to some songs. i think her madness is a manifestation of her creative energy.

the long night ended with more pool playing and affirmation that my bad patch has left me for now. which is just fucking fantastic.
