\"La<\/a>
\nMe, Steff, & Heidi outside Margie’s Candies<\/em><\/p>\n

This week: Continuation of ACA tradeshow. Wednesday & Thursday were visits to customers of my dayjob. Z picked me up Thursday night and we went straight from Midway Airport to Dimo’s – whoa my gosh mac & cheese pizza. Friday dinner with Z, Dave & Megan @ Greek Islands. Spin Saturday & The Canyons @ Facets \/ Trader Joe’s. Sunday I biked to an estate sale and yard sale. Brunch @ Takito with Kimmi. Dinner with Heidi & Steff @ Quesadilla and ice cream @ Margie’s Candies.<\/p>\n

Hopefully I’ll be back to blogging regularly on Sunday. Traveling for work threw my schedule out of whack for a bit there. This weekend on Saturday and Sunday from 11am – 7pm, find Rhymes with Twee at Booth 25 at Bucktown Arts Fest! I am excited to be doing this show again!<\/p>\n

Films watched 33rd week of the year:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beauty is Embarrassing *
\nThe Canyons
\nTouki Bouki [ Senegal ] **<\/p>\n

* documentary
\n** foreign language<\/p>\n

Beauty is Embarrassing<\/a> is one of the best documentaries I’ve watched this year. Wayne White is an AMAZING artist\/puppeteer\/musician\/storyteller and I cannot believe I had not heard of him before. Sure, I LOVED Pee-Wee’s Playhouse when I was a kid, but I never knew anything about the artists behind it. This documentary sat on Z and my Netflix instant queue for months and months and I kept skipping past it because I had watched a lot of “art” documentaries at the time. This eclipses all of them. Wacky, inspirational and worth many watches! <\/p>\n

Speechless at how incredibly terrible The Canyons<\/a> was. Picture The Room without any funny parts and even worse acting and you’ve got it! Mostly, I was offended that the “film” wasted 99 minutes of my life. Z feels even worse than me about it because he kickstarted the gosh darn POS.<\/p>\n

I am starting to dig deep looking for countries I’m missing from my different country each week new year’s resolution. Touki Bouki<\/a> was this week’s pick from Senegal. Young person angst set against a Senegalese background. Good watch, but it lost me a bit at the end when it started getting dream-sequency. You can actually watch the entire film here<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
