Ok, so I'm going tomorrow morning to Guatemala for a week and I'll be back on Sunday. I'm so excited I can't believe I'm actually going! My friend will take many pictures, perhaps I will post one or two.
My tattoo is looking soo awesome but it's still not finished! The artist just has to fill it in with shading, I can't wait!
I hope the trip will be fun and restful and that I will be able to spend some quiet time with the Lord...

I've been delayed
Yes, I haven't written in a while yet again but that's because I've been crazy busy printing 4 colours in 1.5 weeks (which is insanity because I would usually take a week to do one colour) and before that, I was sick with an intestinal virus and did end up in the hospital because of it. Thankfully I'm all better now and I only have one more colour to go on my print, then I'll finally be done my BFA! And then it's off to Guatemala for a week! Plus, I'm getting my tattoo done today! Wow, I'm so busy these days...
Also, thankfully I haven't had an episode that stopped me from working on my print. Thank you Lord!

Opeth and Gojira concerts well worth it
Thankfully the intestinal virus didn't keep me from going to see Opeth and Gojira!
I saw Opeth for the second time and they didn't disappoint. They are great to see live over and over again because they hardly play a song twice thanks to their huge number of songs. This time they played an awesome mix of songs from Ghost Reveries, Watershed, Orchid and other older albums. The singer had his usual sense of humour and made fun of a cheesy 80's metal band that declared themselves the kings of metal in one of their songs (!) and then declared Opeth the kings of metal and I almost very damn well agree! Innovative metal is like a reflex to them. As usual they sounded great and he also thought so in terms of sound quality and mixing which he added is something they usually don't think while on tour.
Unfortunately he also declared that they are going to take a break from touring and writing for a little while for some well-deserved rest.
I was so excited to see Gojira because I didn't think they would come here from France but apparently it was something like their fifth time playing here! They played lots of songs from their latest 2 albums so I was very happy. Their sound was good and the singer effortlessly sounded the same as on their recordings which I found impressive since he does an odd combination of a metal growl and a punk scream where you can still hear the pitch. They had everyone united in synchronized headbanging, clearly showing we all had a good time.
So, now I don't have anymore concerts to look forward to but I'm sure more metal bands will come along during the summer because Montreal is metal awesomeness.

worst day of my life? well almost maybe...
I can't believe it. I thought I would be well by now but it has become obvious that I have suffered some sort of crazy food poisoning or something like that and it's been almost 4 days. I couldn't eat anything yesterday and not much the days before. But unfortunately my appetite is still normal! A Google search has told me that means it's time to go to the hospital. (I almost couldn't go see Opeth yesterday but I managed to and they were awesome. I'll talk more about that later.)
On top of my physical miseries it is the 5th anniversary of my mother's death. Happy anniversary to me whoopey. So, I have to somehow manage to get my sorry ass to the cemetery downtown and still have enough time to see my doctor today... I better be well enough by the time Gojira comes... Why why God why??
