Art: you may find yourself

A new exhibition has opened at the DMG. This one is called 'You May Find Yourself' by an artist named Peter Smith.


















He liked using scraps of woods, wooden blocks, stuff from dollar stores, etc. These collages are honestly so interesting to decipher and look at. Each one is filled with so much life, every inch of each piece is different. I'm not going to lie, I'm not entirely sure of the meanings behind each piece..
He especially liked using globes, and often made things related to urban sprawl and consumerism. Peter was able to use objects that people often threw away or didn't value much into intricate pieces of artwork.

Peter Smith had schizophrenia. It would be amazing to just take a glimpse inside his mind and understand why he made certain pieces as they are.

Unfortunately, he passed away late last year. :( RIP

The show is running until April 14!

Food: Johnny Rockets

A busy Friday night led to a rushed dinner decision. I’ve been trying my best to stay away from chain restaurants or .. larger chain restaurants at least. Red Lobster and Pickle Barrel had huge line ups anyway so we decided to try out Johnny Rockets. It was such a cute little brightly lit diner.
Located at Yonge and Dundas Square, the atmosphere was lively inside and out!
The cooks/waiters even did a song and dance at the front of the diner. So cute!! I honestly wanted to run up and dance with them..

Each table had a little old school music player, though that one didn’t work – there was a larger one near the door. Obviously I was way too excited when I heard we could choose songs to play – I chose Happy Together by the Turtles. Yay, love the music of that period.

On to the food.. I order a grilled chicken sandwich while he ordered a chicken club sandwich. Fries had to be order separately so he ordered sweet potato fries and I, just regular American fries.

The sweet potato fries with the chipotle sauce.. I believe was pretty amazing. My burger was average, a little too meaty for my preference but we all know my meat tolerance is close to none. Other than that, the burgers and fries weren’t bad.

The overall meal was a bit pricey though, especially since fries were a separate order.

We had planned to head to Frans for breakfast the next day but.. didn’t happen so I look forward to that! :)
