Well that First Week Back Flew By

Sep 6 2013

It’s a luxury car week, a Jaguar XF, $75k. It’s big. Been liking it.

Put on a road trip earlier this week, a 400 km one.

Mobile office front seat.

I have this down, this “publish and run the show from anywhere, with a little backpack”. Took years though. And thanks again, TELUS.

This afternoon, we sat down and 2pm, and got up at 7:30. New blog coming very soon. Finally!

You’ll be able to …. use the search bar. Leave a comment. It’ll be like 1998 around here.

Non-nerds: best metaphor I can think of: re-doing a blog is like a house renovation; a big deal, there’s nervousness. So if slow updates here, that’s why.

What I look like tonight.

Don’t feel like being on camera today. Put in a big week, this one. Joggging pants, obviously. Been working out eh, started 4 months ago. It’s sticking this time, and there’s those V-lines under there ha.

I’m on a patio hi hi, typing on my lap, alone, a beer to my right. Behind me, the conversation is about dogs. I’d rather be alone, than surrounded with people but have to listen to those stories.

Next week’s column was going to be aimed at the young generation, how they’re not bothering to get their licence. Until I heard the thump. I snapped my head around, and there was a girl flat out in the middle of a four-lane downtown road, and the driver opening his door all stunted, and I could see the whites of his eyes from metres away. Writing about that.

I’ll leave you with some photos, from cleaning off my camera.

Time to retire this dress that summer’s over; my nicest ‘Summer 2013’ dress, to be sure.

Outtake from Honda’s Manual Driving School this year.

Another one.

Blue dress.

1 of my 3 material weaknesses – jewellery.

Daydream time now, the end.

The Original KeriBlog.com

Aug 24 2013

Founded October 8 2010

It’s still live over at
KeriBlogYES.wordpress.com

First post.

There’s about 5 posts, including:

– playing pool, with a jumpshot video

– that I changed my Twitter name (I’m formerly KeriCDN, eh)

– and an awkward video of me babbling to the camera, about how “Canadian Explorer’ was over, welcome to the all-new KeriBlog lalala

Me on founding day.

Remember in summer 2011, when I amalgamated all my URLs under one umbrella: KeriBLOB.com ahah, that still has legs.

Woah I was on a Blackberry! Remember that browser gah. When did I switch to iPhone wait, probably blogged it brb…

… ya I did – First Post from my iPhone

That’s a video in the middle, re-embedding now.

Bit of a cheap editing trick a bit, but still kinda neat, the page looked just like it. All the sticky-notes were image-mapped wait again, that still may be my ‘About’ page here… brb… … ya it is. Kay that’s bad.

I came across this old blog, while working on the new one.

I have 8 ‘About’ pages to polish now, then sidebar images to amalgamate and create. Expect a post with a sidebar collage. It’s all about the sidebar.

This is the 1,000th Blog Post

Tada.

I Have the Biggest Blog Block

Feb 27 2013

Part of it is the time of year, the gray season, that’s trackable on here for years, but also… you might say, ‘Keri doesn’t talk online a lot, Twitter and FB etc’, but for me, this is a lot of talking. In real life, I’m pretty quiet. Like, ‘make it through entire dinner parties without speaking’ quiet. And sometimes I just don’t feel like talking, let alone so publicly. Yes I realize the dichotomy of having a blog and being like that. Gave up years ago trying to figure out why, then 200 videos & thousands of posts later, still don’t know.

It’ll pass, it always does. There’ll be a 5th Anniversary blog party next year.

And I have so much going on, and have been run down and exhausted keeping up; this last quiet week has been good for me. I look better too, puffed back out less haggard. I wish they taught time management in school.

My Autonet articles have been fun lately, click here to read them.

Lastly, although I haven’t blogged much recently, I’ve still been documenting. That is hard to turn off. Not sure I’d want to.

Here’s some recent photos.

Thanks for always checking in. Appreciate it more than you probably realize.

Love,
Keri

Shots like the one make me miss having a huge header at the top of my blog.

Going to bring it back when I re-build KeriBlog. Which, remember when I shut down everything to do that? Way too ambitious, couldn’t be done, it’s a bigger project than I anticapated. It’s making me insane and invading my dreams. Plus my phone is freezing, my computer is on shaky ground, it’s all a mess and adding to the blog block.

This week’s flowers. And top 3 favourite smells.

Thinking this would make a killer night-out outfit: cream mini-dress, ridiculous platforms, small chain purse worn crossways, lots of ghetto gold.

New profile pic.

Got some members for some strangers families.

Note the despondent dramatics, by how I’m about to blog a fortune cookie message I got.

Been using Android more and more. I get why people love it.

Have a Blackberry 10 review coming up (short answer – it’s solid).

That’s that’s it for now the end.

New Sidebar Art

Jul 24 2012

The best way to get to know me is in my sidebars.

I’d like to throw a KeriBlog party, and I’ll print off all my sidebar art and nail them along a wall in one long continuous row, tada, now my party is an artshow, too.
