commercial drive, eastside vancouver

last nite was terrible, i woke every 30 minutes either too cold or too hot. i'd put on a sweatshirt, then i'd get all steamy and take it off, only to become freezing cold. my throat is pretty icky but i'm taking lots of gross syrup, so i will clear up soon, i hope.

i went to see my photography teacher's exhibition on Commercial Drive, which is a sort of sketchy but still fun place to go shopping and the like. i think she went to Mexico to do some black-n-white street photography. she's spanish, so it's likely. her framed works are on sale for $250-$350, which is pretty reasonable, i have to say.

my mom and sister and i had lunch on commercial drive, there is a bunch of really good and authentic italian restaurants there, complete with flags and all. we went to Marcello. i had the most amazing pasta with mushrooms and capers.

my mom's always wanted to go to italy and now i sort of do too.
