Amazing music venue in Winnipeg that lasted 10 beautiful, formative years. You could always show up and see a million people you know and love (kind of a Winnipeg thing in general but rate of success here was very high). Had one last amazing tbh bender (lol) there last night. Worried about what will be left “in this town” now that it’s gone but grateful for this place providing so many of the best memories of my youth (which is still ongoing btw).

Finally went to this local record/vintage store near me! Had such a great time and it was totally a last minute thing :)
Hung out with friends, made some new ones, heard some good live music, and had a lot of belly laughs 😭😭

My parents bought me these chocolates from Costco and they’re insanely good. I go through them so quick. They are made from a recipe that the mom of the owners’ made while suffering from cancer. It’s kind of advertised as being like a fundraiser type product but I can’t seem to find any evidence that the proceeds go towards any charity. Maybe it’s my own assumptions but the vibe on the packaging is really that. They’re awesome though.

Everything good in life happens when you stand up. A party isn’t a party until people run out of places to sit. Just try standing up—don’t restrict yourself to the sofa all night when you’re with your friends. It just feels better to stand up.

Every one of his books surprises me—they’re never what you think they’re going to be and describing them is an experience that often takes more words than you thought it would. This one is funny and suspenseful and extremely sad. I would love to write like he does.
