Things I did this weekend:

I went to the nature museum to see the bio-luminescence show.

The museum is basically a giant castle and it's gorgeous. - No pictures of the show though, none were allowed to be taken :(

I tried to take some pictures of steampunk-men on stilts that I saw wandering around the Fireworks Festival at the History Museum. (Two museums in one weekend!?) (And fireworks!?!) - yup

My phone fails at night-time photos though.

I wandered around the marketplace and saw some pretty new artwork / crafts



I made a pink ice-cream float in a magnificent skull mug...

It was delicious


I think I had a fairly eventful weekend. Lots of fun was had. The fireworks were gorgeous, and the bio-luminescence show was fantastic. Go have a look while its still happening!

Places to go: House of Targ



The Venue:

House of Targ is an Arcade / Bar. Before nine, the arcade is open to all ages and family friendly. After 9pm, the venue becomes 19+, but the arcade stays open all night long. The bar features vintage games and pinball machines. The arcade has over 50 playable games; a full wall of the bar is lined with pinball machines of every kind. Throughout the rest of the bar, old-school machines such as Mortal Combat, Turbo, Tron, Tetras and more can be found and played.  The staff is friendly and  the people/customers are always lively.

OOTD: Happy Canada Day!





All dressed up for a day with some friends and then later the fireworks. Ready to brave the chaos of Ottawa on Canada Day. It will probably rain all day though so I might just hide inside.

Freedom! and also picnics.

School is finally over. Well the summer course is done at least. One more full year of university and then I get to be a "real adult."

But for now I have some time to relax and work and pursue some of my own interests. And also go camping.

To celebrate the summer solstice, the end of school, and the warm weather than has finally arrived I 've decide to go on a picnic tomorrow. At the beach. Sooooo goth, right?



Hula hoops and picnic baskets are also a must. I'm looking forward to it. I love being outside when the weather is nice. I don't mind the sun, but it's not my favorite thing. So I'll also be bringing a parasol, and loads of sun screen.

Do you guys have anything you love to do in the summer that is far from goth?

Boo

So I am alive.
I haven't posted in while because I'm taking a summer course for university and working every other day and dealing with some other stuff.
You know, average goth stuff (not really)...

I will return to my regular posting schedule mid June. Hopefully.

For now here's a picture of my cat:

Music that i've been listening to, in no particular order.

Disclaimer: Most of the music below is not Goth. Many would say that none of it is goth. It's just a variety of music that I've been listening to a lot lately.

Bad List - Ayria 
Seems like a good revenge song, good for when I'm feeling angry (which is always).
((I'm not actually always angry I swear.))

Come on forest Fire, Burn that disco Down - Rae Spoon 
An amazing song by an amazing non-binary Canadian artist, that is super catchy.

Pon Pon Pon - Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
Proof that I'm not always angry.
Seriously though, this song always makes me happy.


Cubicle - Angelspit
I currently have an office job. I'm also a student. Sometimes I feel angsty about it.
Sometimes I listen to music that hates on capitalism and cubicle-jobs.

Scars Forever - Frank the Baptist
I dunno, I like this band, despite the angst.

March of the Dead - GothMinister
Dark, spooky and fun to groove to.

Virgin State of Mind - K's Choice
I first heard this song while watching Buffy many moons ago.
I've loved it ever since.

Thnk fr the sins/ Mmrs not Tragedies - Fallout Boy vs Panic! at the Disco
Panic at the disco is one of my guilty pleasures.
I'm kind of indifferent to fallout boy, but this is pretty cool. And Catchy.


My taste in music is questionable at best. But I get bored easily so I listen to a lot of different music.
What have you been listening to lately? Do you listen to more than the typical "elder-goth-approved" music?

got recommendations?
