Nice surprise eh!
So I’m taking the day off. Happy Easter and holiday weekend to you xo
Combat this Endless Winter for $4
1 package of 5 carnations = $4
Divide in 2, place where you spend the most time. Then they’re always in your peripheral vision, brightening it, tricking your brain. Seems silly, but it works.
Mine are in: bathroom while I get ready for the day, and centre of my work space.
Carnations last forever; these are almost a week old.
That’s why they’re often This Weeks Flowers.
Ladies: been wearing heels at home, it kinda helps too.
It’s a Silent Saturday
Same as last night. I’ll start talking again tomorrow. Need alone, imagination time. There’s a good chance I’m more accustomed to spending time alone than you.
Decompressing from an action-filled week, especially Thursday. I killed it harder than I have in a long time on Thursday. Made for a great setup for the best night of the week.
A huge highlight was being invited to Google.
Whole post coming soon, learned a lot about how people shop for a car.
It was a great day at work, and later my Viddy video account crested 400 followers, not bad given my following number ha.
There’s probably some videos you’ve not seen, because I’ve not yet blogged them here.
Still evolving my look.
Mostly I just bought dress pants.
My desk at the end of the week AKA what it took to accomplish everything (pretty minimal eh)
Picked up this week’s flowers.
If ever you need to calm me down, give me flowers to arrange, or a collage to make; so soothing.
My back is still out, but improving. My mind has returned to 85% normal functioning. Usually I’d say 100%, but really trying to stay committed to testing out this new, slower way.
So today looks mostly like this. Jogging pants, couch and Workaholics.
Holy crap that show makes me burst out laughing. Click the above link to watch all episodes.
About to make my big day outing to the dollar store, then going back to blog polishing and quiet. TTY, have a good Saturday night.
Quick Update
This week’s car is a Nissan Juke, NISMO edition.
Non-car nerds: NISMO is the performance arm of Nissan, so it basically extra fast everything.
Anytime your steering wheeel has a red band, is a good day out.
Try and make fun of this fannypack setup. Can’t.
I wanted to wear that tomorrow night, but the strap is too big and needs to be taken in.
Because tomorrow we’re off to the Ritz, for the unveiling of the new Pagani Huayra, a world’s best hypercar. They start at 1.3 million.
Might get to sit in it. Now _that’s_ a blog header.
Caved and bought Hunters. Can’t stand that prominent white logo, but can’t stand more always having wet feet.
Found this radio laying in the middle of a country road on the weekend. Guys, hi.
Fact.
Things are looking better around here, eh?! Now the new blog layout and design just needs my polish, I’d bet about 12 focused hours and I’ll feel content. Will do a separate post about the changes, and plans. But now I have to finish next week’s column.
TTYS
Didn’t Feel Like it This Weekend
So I didn’t.
Shut my phone off, and drank beer in the country all weekend.
Isn’t that #NoFilter
Can you tell I don’t feel like being on camera?
Drove through some crazy weather Friday to get there, including a rainbow.
Esoterically, a rainbow is considered to represent enlightenment. Imagine if I was.
It was nice to disconnect, and it’s nice to be back online. It’s also nice to re-affirm you never really miss much when you disconnect, but the benefits are so worth it.
What I’m driving – on Friday I picked up a car I’d been dreaming to have for 14 months.
2013 Honda Accord HFP. It will be documented in its own post.
I’m quite comfortable with it.
It’s on my “Top 5 Favourite Cars” list.
The rest of the list is detailed on my half-finished, “About Cars” page.
I have to finish that about page this week, along with ones for “Blogging about Food”; “Smarten Up, Internet”; “Things I Found Going about Life”; “Now this is more for me than you”; “This is my Hack”; think that’s it.
Then I have to re-direct my URL collection, to which I added to Thursday night:
AnAppropriateAmountOfAggression.com comeON that’s a movie title.
Drove east many kilometres in the afternoon sun, having forgotten to apply sunscreen to my neck because lately I am a super-spaz, and now I am literally a red neck.
Came home late today, laundry and #SundayCleaning, then a walk deep into downtown to reacquaint to the city’s pace; 2 hours and probably 8km.
These flowers are in season.
Same flowers from my intro.
Haven’t re-embedded this in a while, from summer 2007, ‘The Canadian Explorer’ intro:
Filmed almost to-the-week from now.
That’s part of where it comes from, when I don’t document or publish for a few days… I’m like meh, 6 years of archives.
Where this post came from.
Stella while I blog. Remember that time I hosted that Stella party? Seems like a lifetime, but 2 years next month.
Drained; heavy week. Unfortunately didn’t make it to the Le Mons race at Mosport today.
This week’s column is about hacking your car; some meetings this week, a decision to make about that job offer; I have a hankering to go to a casino; and do some no-destination-just-driving in my HFP (which is on my “Top 3 favourite things to do” since I’m 16). If you hear some superfluous revving this week, wave hi.
TTYT
