Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
Did you know Swarovski family-owned-and-operated since 1895? No wonder I’ve always liked them, I’m a big fan of the generations-of-success thing.
They were in a room at the Four Seasons, and you know how I feel about jewellery.
They were showcasing their Wings of Fantasy fall/winter line, as well as their couture collection, as in: all one of a kind, you can’t buy them, it’s their only stop in Canada, these were my favourite pieces:
I dedicate this animated gif to Allison.
Hi Casie!
I picked it up yesterday, hi from Honda HQ in Markham. Don’t we match well? YA buddy.
We drove out, that’s Alen, Reggie and Mark and me. It was Reggie’s birthday, neat eh.
There we met our new friend, security guard Joe, hi pal! Welcome to my blog.
It’s an Acura TSX Performance Sedan. It’s good and unassuming, with great pick up.
Picked up bff Casie and we flew around downtown to the Four Seasons and back.
It’s gonna be a great week, thanks again Acura.
Spent the long weekend in Kingston, Ontario, visiting friends, a photoshoot with Suzy (I’m not allowed to show you anything yet) and celebrating a 60th birthday.
If you would like to get away for a weekend, come here. There’s 1000 Islands, 1000 things to do, and Kingstonians are known as party-ers.
Let’s start with these four places:
1 – Go there for a beer – The Toucan
2 – Buy your books there – Wayfarer Books (smells so good)
3 – Pan Chancho – get a coffee and chocolate croissant
4 – I never go here, it’s for hippies, but green arrow: she’s _still_ there :O
Or, you could go see me on the walls of here.
My favourite ever army suprlus store is here – Smith Army Surplus. If you’re lucky Kyle will be working, say hi.
I cruise through, sift through the patches, talk shop and swap lies.
You can shoot in Kingston, too. Well I can, you might have a bit harder time.
This was S&R – Canada’s oldest (50+) independently owned department store.
It closed two summers ago, which I went around for weeks proclaiming sad and wrong.
I wish I had video of inside here; places like this don’t exist anymore. I heard some mid-level-restaurant-franchise is going in. Golf claps.
70% of all Kingstonians own something from here, maybe one of those glass balls, likely received as a gift.
I’m being dramatic, but not really.
Where you should be buying gifts from is Dwell Boutique, which I should have taken a photo of.
It’s a great place for Morning Drive.
Thanks Claus! <3
He also gave me silver dollar. I put it on my fridge.
I left it there though, my car. It’s no longer fit for the highway, not even I’m that wacked. So kinda cool eh….
Me – “Pardon me? Oh yes yes, I do keep a car in Kingston” :|
Ha.
This place below is my personal real estate brokering deal dream… it’s the old Psyc Ward down on the water.
Executed correctly, it could be one of the premiere mini-areas in Southern Ontario.
Kingston is a good-sized city that you’ll be leaning on a wall texting, someone strolls by you know, now you’re on a patio making jokes.
The streetlights are an inside joke.
Kingston is filled with buildings like this, Canada’s very first bank.
The arrow is pointing to my old apartment. I was the last person to live in it before the City took it over.
There was a restaurant on the main floor, who’d pass me ahi tuna on my way up the stairs, which I’d eat on the fire-escape (they removed it), from which I may have once thrown handfuls of mini-bouncy-balls from, to see what would happen (fun happens).
Go to Kingston, you’ll love it!
Look how much fun you can have.
It’s the oldest fair in North America come ON.
Canadian Explorer Episode #4 – Exploring a Fair
This was the first episode I genuienly liked, because, this was at the 3 month mark, and by then I’d learned enough about Final Cut to make it how it looked in my head.
Editing aside – this thing was all in .mov and every time I moved even one pixel, I had to render o.m.g.
