Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
Very exciting to me.
This is from when I had an epiphany Wednesday June 8 on my balcony. You know when it all just clicks and a million hours of ruminating snap together? Fist pumped a couple times.
This is more for me than you; I’m documenting.
Blurred for OPSEC.
It’s no good if the internet has the same epiphany.
Do you remember the computer game Myst?
It was a big deal game… oh wait wait…. it was a game changer ahahaha.
But it was, it propelled CD-ROM sales. It also really got under my skin, and remains to this day one of the few games I’ve bothered to complete.
Technically this is a water treatment plant… that washes half of Toronto’s water daily!
Did you know Toronto’s tap water is some of the best in the world? Vancouver’s is really good too.
This weekend was Doors Open Toronto, and this is the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant.
It’s neeeever open to the public (or blog girls with big smiles) … that’s why I went. Along with the whole city; parking took forEVER.
Designed in 1929 and opened in 1941, it’s applauded as Toronto’s “supreme masterwork of Art Deco building”. So beautiful, eh?!
This place is special, I’m telling you. Go for a walk there if you ever can.
I’ve blogged about this place many times, and I filmed the episode Exploring Canadian Blogging here.
And this other time I filmed myself skipping around here in a tutu, ha.
Planking kills me. I love internet memes SO much.
Go look at the Facebook group photos, come on, you smirked.
Remember the game you maybe played when you’re a kid, “straight as a board”? It’s like that.
The rules of planking:
1 – lay down in a public place
2 – toes pointed, face expressionless, hands by your sides
3 – take a photo
Last night Casie and I cruised around, planking our hearts out and laughing our faces off.
We discovered planking is good for your core muscles, meeting cute boys, and is far more fun than you think (stop shaking your head at your screen).
Tree plank.
Thanks for the free beer Tyler ;)
So. So. Fun.
Here’s Casie’s post, there’s even better photos over there.
Plank ya later!
Can you imagine believing so strongly you’re getting zoomed up to the clouds at 6pm tonight, that you quit your job and sell your stuff? And there’s millions of them.
But guys – if Jesus is such a great forgiving guy, how could he have it in his heart to be so choosy and opposite? Dedicate a whole day to judging?
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read this CBC article.
Here’s the joke going around the internet, ha:

Probably those people just need a little KeriBlog, and maybe some Nyan cat, have you seen that yet? Likely no, I probably like internet memes more than you.
You’ll love or hate it, no in-between.
I’m one of those people who has a spring fever, literally. I’m pretty sick. My fever broke late yesterday, but I’ve been SO dumb for 3 days now. Fevers always do that to me.
What I look like when I’m sick ahahahahahaha:
Just finished this book, my first ever graphic novel.
It stars Tara Chace, an SIS field agent sent worldwide in service of her government, and this series has been touted as a rare look “at the world of international espionage from a real-world perspective seldom seen in the realm of spy fiction” (back cover).
As in, they have no money and it’s not Bond-ish at all.
I really really liked this book. I’d really really like to play this character in the movie version that’s in development.
Oh before I forget again, I should put the date of today in, for SEO purposes: May 21 2011 Rapture 6pm 18:00
I’m off to celebrate the birthday of one of my oldest friends in Toronto, happy birthday pal!
(that’s an old photo, here’s the original post ;))
Kay I gotta run!
Oh and if I’m wrong about Rapture, Happy Apocalypsing to You!
Here’s how to execute the best exit EVER from an over-turned jeep.
PS – World Planking Day is Wednesday, I can’t wait! Don’t care that it’s old, it’s still funny.
It’s Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, the Canadian Olympic Gold winning ice dancers, hi guys! Congratulations on killing it at the games and more recently, the Worlds.
They were really nice, and even better looking in person.
Their winning performance:
Body Shop was also nice to host this, thank you! They launched a new product, “Body Butter Duos” and sent me home with some, the Sweet Pea being my favourite.
One side for normal skin, the other for very dry, smells good and light, like, not too perfumey, which is good because I am so sensitive to smells. 90% of the time I hold my breath when I open someone’s fridge.
This is the second time I’ve been lucky enough to hold a Gold, remember when I was in Whistler last year and found snowboarder Maelle Ricker?
