wednesday

alrighty
it has come to my attention that i have only 6 days left in toronto.
it's been nearly 3 months since i left vancouver and somehow everything (so far) has turned out ok.

I also encountered a Magic 8 ball on set today and asked if vancouver was going to be ok, it said 'most definitely yes'. i also asked if my relationship was going to be ok, it said 'you can be certain.' I also slyly asked if dusty had been up to no good and it said 'not likely'... 8 ball rules.

My work on King kaboom came to a rather anti climactic end today with a stills shoot on green screen. I was there only to do lighting and poor Karim was very sick. 4 hours door to door and my last day was over.

I came home and am madly trying to finish up my projects for christmas gifts (at the ontario end) as well as last minute cards and wrapping. tomorrow is a casual diner with family and friends at Josh's Fionn McCools. It will be nice to see my bro, i hate not seeing him as often as i used to at home.

Packing will be another obstacle in my way of getting outta dodge and considering what to bring with and what to leave is always a battle. I found these super rad tags for my luggage at the dollar store. One says "NOT YOUR BAG!" and the other says "NO, THIS IS NOT YOURS!" cheeky, but cute. plus they are lime green and hot pink so that's a bonus. :p so very dollar store, so very me.

being november 26th means it's officially the 30 day countdown till christmas. For the first time in 5 years i dont feel particularly panicked or rushed... i think not going away somewhere warm is partially to thank for that. and looking forward to an early year vacay is also helpful.. I can't wait to see dusty and get back to vancouver... pray for mojo that the grey skies and rain dont suck my will to... well... just about anything. The weather will be snowy here very soon as we seem to be just dodging the major dump that areas not far away from here are receiving. i'm very grateful for that.

once again it's later then i wish it was... i get soooo sucked into reality tv about weight loss its sickening. and slice network is brutal for that. it'll be nice NOT to have tv again. i feel very addicted in a horrible way right now...

Had diner tonight at Ridgetown with DBW. I like having alone time with dad occasionally. He's a really great listener and talker... he knows so much it's pretty awesome, he's like a dictionary, thesaurus, encyclopedia and rubrics cube all rolled into one body. I'm very lucky.

oh, and my jaw seems to be healing although my stitches are coming out so it's sensitive for the first time since the day of. gross. i know.

:) adios for now

it's almost over!

one day left of King Kaboom.... well... at least for me as I'm leaving on a jet plane next wednesday. I'm sure the puppet shoot (which i'm sorry to miss!) will go down, and then the poor editors will be in like flin till the end of dec.

Its' been an awesome run, I really enjoyed it. Best job i've ever had to be honest... at least in terms of learning, growing, doing the work i want to do... etc. money> ha. not so much, but thanks to the parents this has been an outstanding few months.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow, and then to the party on thursday night.

must get cracking though, so much Christmas crafting to take care of in the next 6 days!!

hey check me out. i'm a portrait photographer.




Vistek was celebrating it's One year anniversary at the mississauga location today. They had a free model shoot happening where they let us try out the lights, remote units and use pro models. good times.

EXTRACT my wisdom...

So my awesome dentist went to work and i'm hoping the tooth fairy still shows up these days.. ;)

it looks pretty knarly i think.

I have pain in my jaw, but it's not too unbearable. The dentist gave me stitches so hopefully it wont bleed or anything too gross. i made some jello and my mom bought me some delicious soups. good to go for my exciting weekend... craft room here i come!

1-2, 1-2-3. 1-2-3-4, wine show!

i'm off the hook.

guess who, how and why.

deep thoughts of a surely emotional masochist.

ps. dancing at RockWood tonight. never again, yet surprisingly so gratifying.

the name lindsay porter suddenly is flooding my brain...

rob shaw had a baby.

It's not so much the baby, and it's not so much that it's rob's... and it's not so much that he's the first of all my favorite 4th stormont-ers (viva Carleton!) to have planted his seed...

actually it's all of those things. God, where was the foresight?


tighty whities clearly can stop no man. ahhhahaha, JS.

I'm reminded of all my lunches with Rob during my days at CBC and his days at Ryerson... and that time Callum tried to kill him over Tamarama... ohhh, memories. I feel old. Rob, i knew you when...!!

Congrats on little Lois, superman! Take care of your ladies, you're a man now.




ps. this is actually seriously freaking me out. i'm immature, ok?

wow

yet another TV mind-blow

an no, not micheal telstar.

I just learned that statistic show 15 MILLION americans are in the "morbidly obese" category. that's like 1 in every 2 canadians.
I also learned in the same stat survey that 2 MILLION americans are OVER 500 lbs.

Perhaps this doesn't surprise you, but it truely is shocking to me. that is a lot of people. I'm seriously mind blown.


I'm glad i went to the gym today. I'm glad i can use my legs for walking. I dont know what I would do if i knew someone in this category, it's so scary.

thankyou Slice Channel.
