Hope Your Weekend was Fun and Productive Too

Dec 19 2011

Went to the movies, saw Mission Impossible. I’d have edited 45 minutes out of it.

The best part was the trailer for the new Batman, have you seen it come ON. Where the SF guys take over the plane mid air gaaah. That’ll be the next time I go to the theatre.

Did a lot of packing and purging, moved stuff to my storage unit.

Here’s a trunk update.

If you’re just meeting me… I gave away all my belongings three months ago, everything I own now fits into that trunk, that’s what’s happening here.

1 – USB collection and little glass friends

2 – from my first away-from-home home. I’ve hung it up in every home, ever since.

3 – office supply box, after purging

1 – putting away my fur collection, one of the only things I’ll miss about winter.

2 – a skirt from when I was 16; I keep it to keep track

3 – sadly sent to storage

Me writing this blog post.

Night! Have a good start to your week, TTYT.

Cut Through the Mall to See the Tree

Dec 15 2011

Beautiful.

In late November and December, whenever possible, I cut through the Eaton Centre to walk past the Swarovski tree.

It’s 7 stories tall, covered in crystals, and it spins.

The bows and red balls are new this year. I’m curious to know the reaction, usually it’s only crystals. Being a minimalist, I like the latter.

I also like their sunglasses, which I didn’t even know that they make sunglasses, learned that a few weeks ago at an event.

Oh hi hi.

(I dedicate this gif to Allison )

At that same event I met Christine in real life… in 2009 we’d both entered a contest to win a trip to the Olympics.

At that time, she was a student and I was ‘The Canadian Explorer’. Then out of school and tada, she’s working for a top PR firm, nicely done missy!!

The Contest: they were looking for mobile explorers (I know come ON), so you had to create an original video showcasing your blogging and social media skills, and the 5 entries with the most votes were sent to cover Vancouver 2010.

This was my entry.

Remember when we all had Olympic fever? The excitement and camaraderie and patriotism? Awesome.

And remember when Canada threw ‘The Party Olympics’ while SIMULTANEOUSLY winning more Gold medals in the history of all time?

GO CANADA GO!!

PS – I won the contest, here’s the proof, and yet I didn’t. That day, I declared contests dead to me.

A Good Haircut Grows Out Well

Dec 14 2011

That’s how you know your hairdresser has given you a quality cut.

This is 4 weeks old and still symmetrical.

(these are stills from my Volkswagen Art Heist video)

He’s been my hair guy for years, and he never says anything about me doing things like this to his creations:

Hey. It’s a look :/

Appreciate it Brennen, and I made you into an animated gif as thanks ha.

GO TOO!

Things From This Tuesday

Oct 25 2011

I found a place to live YA buddy.

Tweeted this:

There’s a market for: furnished apartment / condos on short term leases in downtown Toronto, which are geared toward the individual, not a corporation. You could make an alright dollar in that game.

I cut it close, and homeless-in-6-days comes with some heaviness. This nomad-lifestyle will take a bit ironing out, to find a system… but for now I’m good till the end of the year YES.

I’ll probably lalala at the camera about this. I’ve been composing the episode, “So I Gave Away All My Stuff”.

See text.

Got my toes done.

Chose the purple, which I was told is the colour of the Vietnamese ‘Clock Flower’, a special little guy that opens in the morning, then closes at night.

The tinfoil was intended to protect the polish during my walk home in sneakers, but don’t do it, it flakes into tiny bits, only agree to saran wrap for this.

Filming this past weekend.

Really was having some sad moments of missing the studio.
