Saturday
During the long weekend of Foundation Day I tried to take advantage of the free time I had and actually go out and do things, for example on Saturday I enjoyed a busy afternoon in the city by myself. I went to the Gallery of Western Australia to see Patricia Puccini's exhibition called Relativity, having to do with genetic mutations, stem cells, cloning etc. Her goal was to try and get a picture of what the future would look like and this is her interpretation http://www.artgallery.wa.gov.au/. It's quite disturbing and a bit creepy to look at, but I couldn't look away, they were so life like I expected them to start moving any second. My favourite was the two scooters and how she manipulated them to look like deer with side view mirror's as antlers, it's amazing. I had more of a look around, saw the 2009 Year 12 Perspective's exhibition, which is a showcase of different pieces of art done by Year 12s from different schools. Sadly my old high school wasn't represented. There were quite a few other interesting exhibitions, after I walked around for quite a while I went to the gift shop and they were having a 20% of everything sale. I decided I really liked this brooch of an outline of a branch, and thought $10 wasn't a bad price, I went to pay for it and was politely told that it was $100 not $10. I was embarrassed to say the least and beat it out of there fast. Lunch was Caccitore pizza at Deliciozo upstairs in Carillion, which is very yummy and I highly recommend it. After that I was off to catch my bus and stopped by Pigeon Hole http://www.pigeonhole.com.au/ to say hello to my friend Bobby Von Baker http://theboygeniusacademy.com.au/home/ who is a very kind and wonderful gentlemen. Back home Iwent, to spend a cold winter evening curled up on the couch with my honey-bunch :)
Sunday
I spent Sunday roaming the city and Northbridge, I was supposed to go to a 'HUGE VINTAGE SALE' http://www.facebook.com/notifications.php#!/event.php?eid=11014531569688745315696887 but I got there too late and there was a gigantic line-up and the lovely ladies I was with and I decided to hit up Northbridge for some Op-shopping and lunch. Almost all the Op-shops we went to were closed as was Turnstyles so lunch it was before we headed into the city. We had a Dim Sim lunch at the Chinese Red Dragon Restaurant, I couldn't eat much of it because I don't like seafood so pork (I hope) spring ro
lls and pork buns it was. In the bustling metropolis that is Perth CBD we headed to a shop called Ally, which is very much like Valley Girl or Dotti, these stores aren't my favourite to shop at, but once in a while you can find a gem. Like this shirt which was $20, and very 
billowy, I'm going to wear a little cami underneath it of course, but I love the pattern on it, it's very feminine and pretty. One of my lovely ladies, Adri, suggested it because she she said they had some good stuff. Chic and Chic was next which is a small little Japanese store with lots of little kitchy things but like the other store you can find some good cheap things that you like. I found myself these gorgeous brown leather shoes with a low heel and Velcro strap for $15. 
I can't wait to wear them to a gig or something. After adventures in shopping and eating, we bade good-bye and I made for my bus stop. When I got there the other lovely lady, Lisa, gave me a ring and invited me to a Gyroscope concert for that night. Now Gyroscope is a Perth band that have reached national fame, they have never really been my sort of thing, I was more into Karnivool and Birds of Tokyo. But since the ticket was free I decided it would be better than sitting at home and doing nothing. So off we went, to enjoy a night of WA music. I came home very tired and sore, and slept in until 11. http://metrocity.com.au/index.php?option=com_phocagallery&view=category&id=23:gyroscope&Itemid=53
