I actually don't know why I agreed to that, it's such a bad idea because I don't feel ready at all. I'm going to have to come up with some good explaining at our next meeting. I'm not going anywhere for Pride this year, it's too hot and too far to travel. But happy Pride regardless!

| Week 23. |
On Tuesday we went to the cinema for the first time in ages to watch the new Mandalorian movie at the request of my sister. It was fine, but going out was the good part. I'm just annoyed that everything I actually wanna see isn't being show anywhere near me at all. Not even Bordeaux! I was waiting so long to watch Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie but I'm probably just going to end up watching it at home. And I Love Boosters isn't on anywhere either...

| Dinner. |
As soon as we got back we tuned into State Of Play, not much of note but it's fun to boo and cheer over game trailers. Something so dumb but entertaining.
Uneventful Wednesday but on Thursday we were helping Noel out some more. We did some serious disassembly on a wall between his office and a balcony to turn it into a mega-balcony. Finally, something I can actually do without needing to be taught! They even had us stay for a lunch with them which was very lovely.

All week my sister has been bugging me to get her Tomodachi Life as it's her most recent obsession but the issue is we don't have a Switch. I mean, not really an issue, if you know, you know... I set it up for her with an emulator (it was kind of annoying to make everything compatible) only for her to tell me she'd play it later. Then what was all the harassment for?! I'll never understand...
On Friday a family friend was over and doing a lot of the work on the 3rd floor. He was building up the beams that will turn the attic into two bedrooms and a hallway. During dinner time, the Garbage Bin Incident was brought up again and many theories were levied. Let me tell you about this conspiracy...
Basically, we had two bins: yellow for recyclable plastics and black for organics/paper/etc. We usually leave them outside our entry room on garbage collection day, sometimes we bring them into the house late or not at all because we had no space. Anyway, we're not the only ones who do that but the cops got on our asses about it for some reason. One day, both bins go missing... we report them missing/stolen and the city hall repalces them but this whole situation starts driving my mum crazy and everyone's come up with some sort of conspiracy.
Theory #1, a..k.a. my mum's conspiracy: someone is stealing garbage bins because they are valuable and selling them to... farmers. Because...uh... farmers keep stuff in them. This theory feels pretty baseless to me but she's set on it.
Theory #2: some kind of bin perverts stole them for their nefarious, psycho-sexual urges. Still more plausible than the first.
Theory #3: the bins became sentient and left.
Theory #4: the bins never existed.
Theory #5: the city just lost them and wouldn't fess up.
And finally, my theory that I think is most likely, a.k.a. Theory #6: the cops did it. They totally stole our bins after one flimsy warning. The cops in our town aren't the worst, I guess but they are often kind of rude for no reason so I can see them doing this just to fuck with us after we didn't put the bins away the second they told us to. Douchebags.
We also caught up with Summer Game Fest. Jeff was dressed like trash as usual. Coolest one was probably the new Alien Isolation game, it's been a long-time coming. Wolf Among Us 2 was also a welcome surprise. Until Dawn 2 looks so bad. A lot of remakes, maybe too many...
On Friday we went to Noel's, totally exhausted. Some scumbags were parked outside our house like last year, screaming and blasting music at like 3AM. Allegedly there was also a stabbing. What the fuck?! It turned the work day into something very injury-prone. Mo hit Noel's toes full force with a shovel on accident. Just a real thwack! Noel almost sliced my eyeball when he was trying to cut off something with a boxcutter and his hand went swinging. And at the end, me and Mo were carrying a table while Noel and his dog were behind me. Mo stopped all of a sudden and pushed the table my way. I ended up nearly falling on Noel and stepping on the dog's foot. It was like a very noisy domino trick, in order of those affected by it's fall: Goddamit! Merde! Woof! ...Disaster day.

On Sunday, we called with Mo's friend and watched Ballerina. It was pretty good. Afterwards, we were invited to a family friend's house for BBQ so we had to miss the Xbox showcase. These friends were recently traveling a lot, they gave us some really cute gifts from Taiwan, Malaysia,Turkey, and Japan. I'll post about that on the fashion blog.

| The end. |
This Week I'm Excited For...
Guess what...! Next Sunday the Artfight theme will be revealed, it's a bit of a special event cuz it's the 10 year b-day of the website.
Song Of The Week...
Checked out Ivy's album Apartment Life. Been loving The Best Thing for a while so it's likely I'd find more good songs. And I sure did! If you want some groove and lightness and trip hop, it's an awesome album. My top song is probably This Is The Day. Talk about the perfect album cover too!
