How Did I Not Own Mirrored Sunglasses?

Me, a professional people watcher.

Really into this, don’t worry about what I’m watching :|

Overall though, nothing that exciting happened to me today.

Polished next week’s column (leasing VS financing a new car), and wrote the news : Super Mario is the spokesman for the Mercedes GLA in Japan, and it’s strange.

Hey did you hear the news that there’s a new CEO of my newspaper?  Brian Mulroney is my new mega-boss, how cool is that.

Had a thing in Scarborough.

Then a late afternoon of… manual labour.

That’s my condo’s storage locker, that I moved to a new locker, but really, why.

If I haven’t touched it in the 2 years I’ve lived here… why am I keeping it… me, the one who once gave away everything I owned. This post is now steeped in ridiculous rhetorical questions.

I’m wiped, can you tell?

You like how, on this warm sunny day, I’m wearing the same thing I did in February?

Have a great weekend, TTY Monday.

 

 

Cut Through the Mall to See the Tree

Beautiful.

In late November and December, whenever possible, I cut through the Eaton Centre to walk past the Swarovski tree.

It’s 7 stories tall, covered in crystals, and it spins.

The bows and red balls are new this year.  I’m curious to know the reaction, usually it’s only crystals. Being a minimalist, I like the latter.

I also like their sunglasses, which I didn’t even know that they make sunglasses, learned that a few weeks ago at an event.

Oh hi hi.

(I dedicate this gif to Allison )

At that same event I met Christine in real life… in 2009 we’d both entered a contest to win a trip to the Olympics.

At that time, she was a student and I was ‘The Canadian Explorer’.  Then out of school and tada, she’s working for a top PR firm, nicely done missy!!

The Contest: they were looking for mobile explorers (I know come ON), so you had to create an original video showcasing your blogging and social media skills, and the 5 entries with the most votes were sent to cover Vancouver 2010.

This was my entry.

Remember when we all had Olympic fever?  The excitement and camaraderie and patriotism?  Awesome.

And remember when Canada threw ‘The Party Olympics’ while SIMULTANEOUSLY winning more Gold medals in the history of all time?

GO CANADA GO!!

PS – I won the contest, here’s the proof, and yet I didn’t.  That day, I declared contests dead to me.
