Returning the Jag in a Ridiculous Hat

And in Dynamic Mode, plus Sports Mode, with the exhaust on, using the paddles to rev dramatically, obviously.

I will make no money off this review; I spent what I’ll be paid on gas.

Don’t worry, reality came crashing back quickly.

It took 2 boosters to jump my Jetta, then this happened 9 km later.

Great little booster unit, here’s a post about it.

Ohhh memoriesss.

Here’s a sneak preview of the photo shoot for my review, which prints end of May.

 

 

Last Week was a Whirlwind that Isn’t Over

Flew home Saturday.

I love airports. Have a half-drafted post why. Blog category = Airports.

My plane landed 20 minutes early, then through customs in maybe my fastest time ever…. all to sit traffic. First gear and 90 minutes to get home. Traffic is ruining Toronto.

I was so wiped. So I cheersed myself for getting coverage for 3 outlets on 1 trip, then didn’t see 9pm.

It was great trip. Kentucky has fun and windy roads, and we lucked out with the best weather in weeks.

This is what I was testing – Chrylser’s all-new 200.

They did a great job, my review will be live soon on Autonet.

The newspaper recently changed the deadline structure for car launches, and it’s no longer a week, but due this morning. And reviews still take me forever, 8 hours anyway. I have another half-drafted post why (short answer: dispensing advice on how to spend $35,000 is serious).

Filmed a video too, that footage will get edited this week. Below is a still.

Beep beep I’m driving here.

Tomorrow is Car Swap Day, it’s a Ford Fusion this week. And to write the news, 2 meetings, oh Mondays are always so fast-forward eh.

Took a hockey game break tonight.

Replaced my broken hat.

And I have to get back to photo editing now, TTYL

 

 

The Annual Cut-it-all-Off Haircut

This was what I was so attached to – the world’s tiniest ponytail.

I saved that, to send in the mail. That’s funny.

You know Niki. Thanks missy xo

This is a now well-documented routine by now, on this blog tag – Brennen Demelo…

… I grow my hair, trying to achieve my dream ponytail > it becomes stringy and I realize I have no hair, and am being delusional > I cut it all off.

How’s it look from the side? Or like this?

How’s it look with a hat?

This is important.

Excellent.

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
