Week of Art and Discipline

This week is probably one of the best since I've been here.
This past Thursday I went to the Atwater Poetry Project at Atwater Library and Computer Center

I was really cool. This first poet Jeramy Dodds I really enjoyed. He shared his poem tittled Oshawa Shopping Centre. He poetically described white plastic bags floating like ghosts on a chain link fence.  He was enjoyable, blunt and only had slight sexual themes.
The second poet was Lisa Robertson, who I believe is a more famous poet, as much as living poets can be famous.
She was less enjoyable for me.  Her second poem started with a line that had a clear sexual point. The next ten minutes  were less clear though I thought she spoke mainly of leaves and sex. I didn't understand much.
It left me with a strong desire to be more educated.

After I met up with my roomates at  concert in a very high class place called Burritoville.
Kay, maybe not high class, but it doesn't have a sheet plastic sign in primary colours.
Burritoville is somewhere in between Swiss Chalet and East Side Marios. I think its on level with Cora's in atmosphere.
The two bands that were playing were the Bright Road and Lizzy and the Orca.
Classic folk. It was great. They reminded me a lot of Slow Club, one of my favourite bands.
Lizzy and the Orca had some really inventive songs, with a wide variety of instruments. At different points there was a  mouth organ, cello, xylophone, ukulele as well as acostic, electric and drums. It was a good time.
Left me wanting to write.
The Bright Road had great songs in  the more technical way. They were well written and had catchy lyrics.
 If I had money I would buy all their stuff.
It was a good night with good people. Some of you may know I was having a hard time at the beginning adjusting to the people here in the beginning. Its going a lot better with most of my roomates, but there is one who always seems to have some majoy issues. Prayer would be appreciated.
Monday we leave for  Toronto. It will be nice to see Home sweet Hometario. I'll will be making a much needed visit with my family for the weekend before heading back to Montreal on the bus.
Your Prayers and support are much appreciated. :)
