Good to be Back Online

Mar 11 2014

Just been mouth-breathing around, you haven’t missed much.

Still riding out the bi-annual fever here. Didn’t even write the news yesterday, maybe the 3rd time I’ve ever not. Next week’s column won’t be getting a * beside it on the index page.

Kept kicking to the end, and before I went down Friday night, I managed to be up 140% at the casino, and win at pool (but barely, good game, 3-3 and down to the 8). Then I fell on my face and slept until Sunday, an 18 hour run. Whatever you hear going about this flu going around, believe it.

Nothing huge happening this week, lots of little meetings, dinners and email, but no big events.

Next week we’re off to Kentucky with Chrysler, and their 2014 200 sedan. And booked a Hyundai trip today, end of April in BC with their 2014 Genesis.

It’s been so boring I don’t even have any photos to embed below, so here’s a total lazy blog move, and another screenshot from the below gif TTYT

Blog Break till Tuesday

Mar 6 2014

I have a lot going on with my other jobs right now (next week’s column – Elderly Drivers). There’s About pages to write, YouTube channels to organize, and to complete construction of Project Mega Spreadsheet.

Then last Thursday, a fight with a fever broke out, Tuesday morning it won, that was the last time I’ve tasted or smelled anything. I rarely get sick, but when I do, it’s legendary how bad it gets. Here’s to it not being like this time.

I pick up my car tomorrow! I decided to re-invest in my Jetta, instead of buying another new (used) car. Pumped.

Mmm, what else… nope that’s all I got. It’s 12am, putting Vicks on my neck now, wrap a sock around it I’m done.

Twitter, Facebook & Instagram still, and TTY here Tuesday, have a great weekend XO

Didn’t Open my Laptop Till 7pm Today

Mar 4 2014

Can’t remember the last time I had a day like today, it was nice. Lined up a ton of real-life jobs, one after another.

One of which was to photograph the 2014 Grand Caravan.

Tested it in January for my blog, but never published the post, pitched it to the paper, it prints end of the month #p

Lunch today.

The * astrick is … Hazel McCallion! First time I’ve seen her in real life, she was picking up a pizza for lunch. Huge fan, but was too shy to interrupt to say hi.

Non-Torontonians – Hazel McCallion is the Mayor of Mississauga, and one of the coolest girls in Canada.

Holding office for 35 years, she’s now 93 and one of Canada’s best-known and longest-serving mayors, even one of the longest-serving elected leaders in history. She’s been voted the 2nd most popular mayor in the world, and her nickname is “Hurricane Hazel” because of her non-nonsense style of politics.

If there’s a Canadian Mayor to be celebrated,
it should be Hazel.

Wore this today, again.

This dress is the new jogging pants.

Bwaha.

Grand Theft Auto is just… wow. The size of the game alone floors me. And that right now, millions of people are living in it.

I don’t play, zero interest there, but do like watching someone skilled play a game like this, like watching an elite athlete kinda-way; that’s neat for a minute.

Been doing YouTube dance choreography videos.

I don’t have a mirror, so I use my webcam to check my marks.

It’s not hitting the marks I’m having trouble with, it’s having the fitness to do so for more than 30 seconds gah.

Really read that situation wrong. I’m blue.

Didn’t this Week Feel Crooked?

Feb 28 2014

Like everything was off by 20º, everything out of step.

Except for Wednesday, which fell into place like a ballet. Yesterday was completely sideways, then my concentration went west around 2pm, and haven’t seen it since.

Part of this is because of the Mercury Retrograde, which ended today. Mercury Retrograde is OVER.

The Planets(for all my love of logic, I believe in the power of the planets.)

Maybe that’s what yesterday’s freak storm in Barrie came from, the one that caused a 100-car pileup?! Did you see the animated gif on Buzzfeed? Click that, it’s nuts.

It’s 10:30 pm, I have 3 more emails to send, then we’re going to a Friday night beer & blog.

12:30 pm

kk finally made it.

The phone rang, and I laughed on it for a while. I talk on the phone a lot. I think it’s odd when people don’t.. blogged as much before.

Is it me, or did PhotoBooth photos get grainier.

Taking pictures with my toes.

Hoping this weekend I find a chunk of quiet blog-building time, my ‘About’ pages are all still blank, I’m 4 videos and 1 million columns behind, and the joke is over on LinkedIn, but that alone is an afternoon…

Next week’s car is a minivan YA buddy, I’m a fan, my next review is about the Caravan, actually. It’s a Town & Country this week. Next week’s column is about armoured cars.

kk my laptop battery is about to die, I’ll mass-update my Instagram feed this weekend (that’s the list), and embed the highlights below.

TTY then xo Keri

Just cheersed you.

A Few Photos from the Last Week-ish

Feb 26 2014

Woah I squished a lot into today. Published to 2 sites 2x / each, lunch with a pal, then got to see my girls from out-of-town for a minute, zeroed my inbox, more lists that are exciting for me boring for you, another 4 weeks and I think I’ll have this 3-job-system under control.

If you’re on a Mac or iPhone – you need to update your OS, there’s a bad SSL bug going around. Apple released the update Friday to patch it, just haven’t had time to write that post. Consider using a browser other than Safari for now, and read more at Ars Technica.

I’m concerned how time is going so fast, that it’s already 11 pm, that this weekend brings March. I’m going to start planning my summer next week, otherwise I won’t have much of one; learned that the hard way last year. PR pals – please send invites; I know I’ve being saying no a lot, I’ll say opposite.

Next car to be blogged – 2014 Honda Fit Sport
