I was Mega Productive this Weekend

Not now chief, I’m in the zone. Hand over mouth, always.

Zeroed my inbox ahhh; all Saturday was a chunk of technical work I’d been avoiding; and my home is now fall-cleaned.

Blog re-build work, Autonet work’s all caught up, other job I’m testing for is good, and lots of productive daydreaming this weekend, needed it.

It started out as a reticent-phase many months ago, but it’s kept going so long, it’s no longer a phase. I just don’t see the point of talking.

I have a dream: instead of speaking, I can send a link to something I’ve blogged that answers whatever the question is.  Getting there.  I should Tweet more though, random observations like I used to.

Anyway la la la, here’s what it looks like when I daydream.

Doesn’t it seem like I’m looking at you, paying attention?

I have that down.

Haven’t showed you my desk in a while.

This Wednesday I’m off to California with VW, to test the new Jetta.  Back on Friday, and this week’s column is about sobriety checkpoints.

Where Did This Week Go

If it’s like this now, omg to when I’m 80 <blink> there goes a year.

Made a video in Cherry Beach.

I’ve probably filmed 25 videos there, and I still get distracted by the planes.

I finally, genuinely like FinalCut X.

Latest OCD song.

It was interesting to watch this song… it was leaked :| via the above, well-filmed video, and pretty good audio for a concert eh, the cheering timing… a concert where cameras are banned, by someone who was able to scrub images off the internet, and this video belongs to the simplest YouTube channel too…

Who cares though, this song is like, the Ferrari of beats and hooks; the one at 2:56, oh girl.

lilac picking

Lilac season!

Top 3 favourite smells of all time.

Had to get a new lamp.

I turned it on and it fried the lightbulb black, right before my eyes. I was going to put another bulb in and film it to make an animated gif, but then was like, watch that be the time fire comes out, and why don’t I own a fire extinguisher?

Go-karting with Kart Start last weekend, have another post for that.

I dominated the weekly auto section of the paper last week look, of the 5 articles 4 were written by me ha.

I’m behind on lots of posts, and blogging my ‘Keri on Driving’ columns, and a F150 off-roading video, and…wait, I’m going to make a list of “posts coming soon”, this is more for me than you….

This is me last week, basking in my genius of when I cracked it – a stock market mystery had been puzzling me for years.

It’ll get it’s own post, but I’m going to keep that post more professional, so here sits the gloating photo.

Next week’s column is about daydreaming behind the wheel, I managed to get myself sick because I am a dumdum, nah I’ll just blame this garbage summer we’re having, have to return the Infiniti tomorrow boo, and I forget what else for now.

Hope it was a good Thursday, best night of the week,

Blog Break’s Over, Here’s What You Missed

Me typing a lot of things.

How sweet my place looked going into the Chinese New Years.

Looks like a hotel, eh!  All white and crisp.

My place would look good on Pinterest.

Found this little guy when cleaning; when I was very young, he came everywhere with me.

Stayed in a fancy downtown hotel.

It’s weird staying in a hotel in your own city.

Went around looking good in my hat.

I’ll probably make one of these my new profile pic, which is due to be changed.

Replenished my jogging pants supply.

Busy busy week!  For auto journalists, this week is like the Olympics.

The Canadian Auto Show kicks off tomorrow, and we’re live-blogging it for the paper’s first time (ScribbleLive!), and I have lined up a first-look at something awesome for you to see.

I filmed my first ever TV segment this morning, talking about the auto show on Sun TV, should be available to embed tomorrow.

That’s all I got right now, I have to start preparing, update my gear and practice more with ScribbleLive. I also set-up my Galaxy to use tomorrow, the one TELUS gave me.  I wanted to use my new BlackBerry, but Scribble’s not yet available for BB.  I’ve got a post started to tell you about the phone, short answer: the OS is solid, the upside-down-L gesture is efficient, and business people you’re going to love it.

It IS time to upgrade my phone though, this old iPhone 4 is no longer cutting it.

Look how grainy, that’s not good.

Night, TTYT

 

 

A Saturday Night Update

It’s a pretty typical Saturday night here, bubbly water and my laptop. I’m polishing this week’s column, which is the 3rd (and final) instalment in what accidentally turned into an Eco series. Here’s Part 1 & Part 2.

I’m also doing blog renovations, and cleaning up my accounts around the internet.

Plus cleaning IRL.

Tomorrow kicks off the Year of the Snake.

I’m almost done, except for this mess.

This is the latest song I’m OCDing out to; how is this not a radio hit?

Insert headphones and turn it UP.

Remember dance packing? Chinese New Year cleaning will look like this.

(that’s an old OCD’ed out song)

Had a great time at the FordBlue party last night. Not surprising, Ford always puts on class events.

The storm was fun, eh! Canada looks like Canada again.

It also allows me to wear some favouite boots.  Good to -75ºC.

My hair looks great eh, this is Niki’s best blonde yet. Thanks missy xo

She’s been perfecting “Illusion Hair”; I’ll detail it out another time, it’s clever. Go see her, too.

I’ve been cooking :O

It counts as cooking, I used heat.

This is from last week, but I look exactly the same right now #SaturdayNightUniform

I’ll leave you with what my desk right now, been a while since I documented it.

TTYL, have a great rest-of-weekend,

Things from my Week Last Week

I looked like this.

Only thing I kept for myself, from all the gifts I received for my contest.

I’m a product photographer now.

 

Happy Meal smile.

Yesterday I had nothing to say. I stayed with my head inside my laptop, for all of it.

Been a while since I blogged my desk.

Those shortbreads are worth linking up – Mary Macleod’s Shortbread – since 1981.

They were a Christmas party gift, and one of my favourite Christmas foods.  I’m 2/3 done the tin.

What the Extravaganza started off looking like.

I really did try to get a car as a prize, send you around in a hot press car for a week.  Too big an insurance nightmare, though.

Packages pouring in.

To be honest, I wasn’t expecting the contest to get so huge.  Prizes just kept arriving.

I’m wondering if that’ll hurt the contest… is it almost too much, seems too good to be true…

Have a great week, it’s the last one of 2012 pretty much, finish strong!
