I forgot to mention that on Tuesday, i drove to Waterloo for a Skills Competition. We had two teams competing in an Animation Competition - given the story idea, had to brainstorm, storyboard, make a leica, animate then render (they brought their own characters). Chris had gone up with the students the night before, and i got there mid-competition. The place was crazy-busy. Anyway, after, we ate supper at Golden Griddle, and were going to see Iron Man, but the newspaper screwed up the times - turns out all the movies in Waterloo start at 7:10 or 9:45. I left for home - they had to stay the next moring for the final results. Anyway, one of our teams placed First, so yay!

Saturday night, i went over to Lisa & Russ's, and we watched Enchanted (i missed the start) with the kids, and after they went to bed, Superbad.

Sunday morning i went to the new show at MOCCA, part of the Contact photo festival, Between Memory & History: From the Epic to the Everyday: "...probes relationships that exist between the intimate and the public, between moments of personal significance to events of global resonance that affect each one of us." Pretty vague, i didn't see the connection between all the pieces, it can mean pretty much anything.

The only photographer i recognized by name was Nan Goldin, and - SURPRISE! - it was photos of her friends being intimate and sexual, including a long slide show. Odd that the most explicit ones were a gay couple. Or maybe not, lol. She needs some lesbian friends.
