Sorry Guys, So Busy

Find what I’m up to fastest on Twitter: @KeriBlog

Being a nomad and finding a home is tougher than I thought. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if you’re looking to open a business rent short-term furnished apartments in the $1200 range, you will own that market because it doesn’t exist.

Plus I’m doing all this internetting from my phone. I thought it would work all right, but the signal isn’t strong enough. My phone got so hot when I uploaded a video the other day, never mind that Skype call last night bwahaha.

Really looking forward to settling in somewhere, I have security videos to edit and a show to flood the internet with!

First Week Home Complete

As of right now, 9:30pm, I’ve been one week back in country.

An overwhelming feeling all week:

I made a video one time, “About Time“.

I spent a lot of time in traffic this week. I’d forgotten just how bad it is here.

I see while I was gone Tim’s increased their sizes to what now?

I went to my storage unit.

How do I still own so much stuff after that huge purge?  I’m OCDing out a bit about it.  That’s the smallest storage unit you can rent, but still.

Saturday morning drive to the suburbs.

I also found this song, I’ve been looking for eight years. Great memories of youth attached to this.

Start it at 1:30, use headphones.

Been blogging all week to it on repeat.

I worked all over the place this week. That’s the fun of being a gypsy, it’s always different.

My view one day.

Another day.

Here I am at the library.  

The guy across from me kept speaking aloud to himself.

What else… worked on my sidebars, look right and scroll down. It maybe doesn’t look like much, but that’s 6 hours Thursday night. Welcome to blogging.

I moved twice this week, and again Sunday night. I’ve been making spreadsheets and researching and debating, and I’m not sure I can pull off this string-of-short-term-rentals dream just yet… I might be a bit of time away still.  I’ll keep you posted. I could do an entire video series, “How to Live like a Gypsy”. Oh time, there’s never enough of you.

Hope it’s a good end of your weekend, TTYT

CONTACT – the World’s Largest Photography Event

Chalk up another ‘world’s biggest and best’ to Canada! 

Last night I attended the VIP kickoff party for the 16th annual CONTACT Photography Event at  MOCCA – the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art.

It’s brought to you by Scotiabank (who support the arts more than any other Canadian bank, neat eh).

You know when you’re cruising around Toronto and woah,

where’d that giant photo plastered on a

concrete pillar holding up the highway come from?

That’s CONTACT.

1000 artists, 200 venues, and an audience of 1.8 million

My favourite.

I like their blurred out faces.

The resolution is ridiculous on these prints in real life.

Look for CONTACT stuff around town all May.

Remember to look up. No one ever looks up.
