Pik-Nik Electrik on Ile Ste. Helene

with 6 comments

After staying up until 3:30am playing chess with a certain person whose initials are the same as those of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but re-arranged, i couldn’t fall asleep. I gave in at 4:30 and took a sleeping pill. Anna woke me up around noon to remind me we were supposed to be going to this unique event on Ile Ste. Helene.

I am not a big music fan nor particularly fond of electronic music, yet the sounds coming from the speakers at Parc Jean Drapeau were nicely ambient. We spread Anna’s vinyl mat down on a slope to the water and sat chatting in our bathing suits for the next couple of hours. We consumed a sausage in hot dog bun each and watched a little mop dog become entranced by the strings on my sarong. By 6pm we had had enough and returned to the island – me to come home and take a much needed nap and her to her Shakespeare readings.

We determined that though boys are a lot of trouble: you can’t live with them and you can’t live without them.

Also, everyone i am close to in life is a Pisces. Odd.

  1. Sounds like an awesome time.

    We on the male front have also determined that though girls are a lot of trouble, you can’t live them and you can’t live without them, either. :P

    Also, I’m a Pisces.

  3. I’m such a Pisces. Got to love water signs. Plus remember, Pisces is Virgo’s polar opposite.

  4. That’s what I told her, Lisa.

    I’m okay with Pisces because I have a strong Cancer rising, but otherwise I wouldn’t.

  5. I take–2 steps forward
    I take–2 steps back
    We come together
    Cuz opposites attract
    And you know–it ain’t fiction
    Just a natural fact
    We come together
    Cuz opposites attract
