getting lost in my own neighbourhood

I live a short distance from where I work. Long enough for me to hear a song and a half on the radio and catch the morning headlines. If I wasn’t required to have car for work, and getting between the two museums, I’d be walking. On the flip side, in my drive in as [...]

wild card inside

“You’ve changed…you’re so much more mellow, softer? I know it’s you, but I just can’t believe these things are coming out of your mouth.”
This past week through catch-ups over tea, and long distance phone calls with three good friends that sentence above was something I kept hearing, over and over. These are people who have [...]

artificial heat almost killed this little guy

I wish I had control over the thermostat. My landlord pumps in the heat and its 10′C (50F) degrees out. Gimme a break, the heat does not need to be on. I had all the doors and windows opened today whilst baking and still the icing on this guy still was melting. He turned out [...]

vancouver sunny

It’s raining today.
No, I mean it’s really raining.
Sure it’s still sideways, like England rain, but less misty today with real winds. I smelled a thunderstorm on my way home from work, and got a little excited, but such things rarely pan out here on the coast. Weather like that is something reserved for Ontario summers.
It’s [...]

now go on baby, if you just dare me

if I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am now

There are certain movies that when you happen upon them on telly you just have to sit and watch them all the way through, no matter how many times you’ve seen them. Christmas Vacation is one of those movies for me.
My job is 65% event planning, so my concept of time is a bit skewed [...]

you know when we sat out on the fire escape talking…what did you say about running before we were walking

I’ve been trying to formulate my weekend into thoughts, and further into sentences, but alas my brain is just not working. I am exhausted, but in the best possible way. Filled with good food, great musical listening and shining memories of dear friend visits over too soon.
So instead of rambling, some music…

i much prefer my wordpress

I just blogged for work. On Blogger, which I haven’t logged onto in over two years.
It felt odd. Like I was accessing a past Interweb-self, even though I wasn’t blogging as myself (well technically, I was blogging as my real name, but not for myself…ah, usernames you can be so very confusing).  Anyway, I used to [...]

two turntables and a gingerbread house

I don’t think  last years house even compares to this one.
Not completely finished, due to time constraints the polar bear will have to be added at a later date. As every little gingerbread house needs a bit of chaos to make the magic come to life. Although we got the ball rolling here with the [...]
