Trip South Update, New Blogs are Coming & My New Jogging Pants

WEAR SUNSCREEN! YES I’m yelling at you. You’ll thank me in 2034.

Remember ‘The Emporium’…? When I set up all my belongs like a department store and invited people to come take my stuff?

That video is half-edited, it’s getting there. There’s just never enough time, is there.

Actually, I’m going to go ahead and re-embed an old video here, one from my ‘Just a Minute Series’

How about my new blog titles eh??? … come ON :D

  • FoodiesCanEatIt.com
  • ThisIsMyHack.com
  • ThingsIFoundOnTheInternet.com

But Keri on Security… oh this is some of my best work yet. Have a half-drafted post here for later this week with shots from the intro and more.

Also…

Click here to see my new jogging pants, they got their own post.

Here’s the link to Posterous – go start that blog you’ve been daydreaming about.

It sort of looks like I green-screened this video, doesn’t it?! ;)

TTYL!

Go Go Go Go Stop

My trip south is going excellent.

Myrtle Beach was great because where I owned the town… because there was no one there.

So I pretended it was like the apocalypse, and dressed appropriately.

If you’re going to go and want to see other humans, wait until at least February.

Then I moved from my week there.

And yesterday, I hit the wall.

I’ve still not learned moderation; that I can’t go 1000 km/h an hour for weeks on end without repercussions.

So I downloaded my first game on my iPhone – Words with Friends.

First Zynga game, and first game ever on my phone.

You know what a Zynga game is even if you don’t realize it: Words with Friends, Mafia Wars, Farmville (I will _never_).

Wrote some postcards.

And then I discovered the TV show, Burn Notice. OMFG

Have you ever heard me mention a TV show before?!? Exactly.

I inhaled the entire first season yesterday, I was “that girl” zoned out to Netflix (and it’s true, US Netflix is better than CDN Netflix by far).

It’s a spy show. Shocking eh, ;)

Take a look:

(couldn’t find the actual intro online, this is the closet thing I could).

Have a great Tuesday, wait till you see my new pants later today ohhhh yaaaaaa.

xo Keri

 

 

 

I Came South, and Don’t Even Like the Sun

I don’t.  I hide from it.

I’m like a future person that way.

If you follow my Twitter you’re familiar with me bugging you to wear sunscreen.  If you’ve been bugged, that’s good, means it’s working.

I wear 60SPF every day, even in the winter. The sun reflects off the snow and intensifies it, remember that.

My perfect temperature is: sweater over a sun dress in the day, warm up at night, cute shoes at any time because no snow.

It’s been aaaaamazing for the creative part of my brain to have left Toronto for a bit, changed my environment. It gets tough to constantly see new in the old and familiar, you know?

Next up: decorate my sidebars.

Then: I decided to build my new blogs on WordPress, not Posterous like I was going to, because I need to control the sidebars.

If you are even thinking, “I’d like to have my own blog”, yes do it, and use Posterous.

I built my Hippie blog using Posterous. Have you popped over there lately?  It might amuse you for a few sips of coffee – IAmNotAHippie.com

Look where I went, holy crap I love these places.

How do they get the ships in the bottle??

Answer: they are built with hinged masts, lying flat against the boat. Tie a piece of string around the top of each mast. Slide the thing into the bottle, pull the string, raise the masts, magic.

Now I’m going to tag this post with the phrase above that’s bolded.  I’m doing this in hopes when someone googles that phrase, they’ll find my blog.  And that’s what SEO is: Search Engine Optimization.

I’ll leave you with a few more photos.

The best part about these type of photos is they make a blog look so happy.

Have a great Friday!

Differences Between CDN and USA

I’ll probably do a few posts like this during my trip, there’s so much.

Way more driving-through-tunnels.

You can buy cigarettes in a bar… and then smoke them inside :O

Alcohol is sold in drugstores.

Styrofoam is way more popular here than in Canada.

Hands-free gas pumping.

Remember when they took those away years ago, Canada? I never understood why.

Just jam your gas cap into the handle, that’s what I do.

Same girl though, no matter what side of the border.

Have a great Thursday!!  Best night of the week.
