I’m Going to Start Bolding More Things

Mar 27 2011

Think I’m going to start writing in bold more. I think I’ll start with this post.

Had a great weekend. Went to a favourite bar Friday, The Barking Fish, which I’ve mentioned I’m trying to rank in Google for. 58 Beech Avenue Cambridge, Ontario 519-658-4451

That’s Tammy, who you should tip well because she’s awesome.

Woke up in suburbia yesterday, which I like because like, I do not own a shovel. Garbage day is every day. It’s different.

Went walking in the afternoon and dinner out, hung out with the girls, and didn’t touch my computer or phone last night once, it was nice.

Picked up these in a vintage shop… Stella McCartney for Adidas with the tags still on, in my colour for $17 come ON.

I always forget how much I’m online until I’m around places and people who aren’t at all as much, this usually happens outside the tech city bubble I live in. I have a Just a Minute video coming together in my head about that.

Have been really liking wearing a watch again, it’s been years.

Did music reasearch for the next video I’m going to edit, ‘The Imperical Sand Dunes of Star Wars‘ (working title). If you don’t edit you may not know that music for your videos is a real pain, because it has to be royalty free, which is not free, and YouTube music fingerprints everything it uploads, you have to be careful.

Been making lots of notes for my upcoming speech. Still leaning towards no slides.

Also this week I submitted a word to Urban Dictionary, “Gigilala” click here, and I stumped Scribblenauts with the word ‘blog’, and that’s my new profile picture.

Sunday cleaning included re-adhering my front hall mat, ha – This is My Hack.

Night walk.

A Chair Covered in ‘Life Admin’

Feb 27 2011

Life Admin: all the paperwork you have to do, that’s horribly dull and tedious, like bills & spreadsheets, taxes & filing, but must be kept on top of so that life runs smoothly.

Specifically, it’s a pile of tertiary-level Life Admin.

It was on a shelf, until I decided by putting it there, I’d deal with it faster. It’s not an effective method, you just end up sitting on it.

It took 90 minutes, and wasn’t that painful.

Life Admin in action.

Claiming ownership of this expression, it now belongs to me, forever, throughout the universe, into perpetuity.

Big Clean Yesterday

Jan 17 2011

Sundays are for cleaning , I’m repeating myself. This round was huge, my home is now perfect for a new year and no more cleaning till spring required.

I can’t think straight when my place is messy. There’ll be two moons in the sky before I end up on an episode of Hoarders.

New baking soda in the fridge… 90% of the time I open someone’s fridge I hold my breath. And I never drink Britta water because it tastes like a fridge.

Yes I like to label things. Laugh it up, because just before our deaths when we add up the time you spent looking for things versus me, I win.

I even did things like tighten up my furniture. I bet at least 40% of people living in a small space in an urban area, like me, own this Ikea table.

I Always Clean on Sundays

Oct 18 2010

That way my home is sparkling and ready for a new week.

I put on fun shoes, jam my iPod in and we’re off, add some jazz hands to the dishes, rodeo lasso moves with the vacuum cord, that’s what’s happening.

I air everything out too, all windows and doors ajar forcing new and fresh air into my breathing space. I’m big on air.

I like when it smells like nothing; those plug-ins and air fresheners are too much, I think. I hold my breath 90% of the time I open someone’s fridge. That’s part of the reason I don’t cook, the smell would go everywhere and touch everything and gross.
