Lately my gmail has been gifting me with stupid spam and a multitude of boring updates I don’t actually care all that much about, but this morning there was a sudden abundance of yummy…
Bust magazine sends out a regular email newsletter called The Bustline, and the latest one introduced me to the fabulous Bunny Maxwell [...]

Hi.
Ever notice that when you’re working on something that normally you’d love but for various reasons it’s not going well, you become grumpy and stop blogging cause honestly you just can’t get your happy on long enough to write something that doesn’t smack of the crankiness and sleep-deprivation you’ve fallen into?
No. Me neither.

Want to give yourself a heart attack?
Go to the Timmy’s Nutrition Calculator. Choose your poison. Change your mind. Choose a different poison. Goggle at the number of calories involved. Try something else. Have your eyes do that a-OOO-gah effect from the classic cartoons.
Then realize that the calories listed are cummulative and you actually have to [...]
FYI

Jonathan Goldstein’s article in today’s National Post has me thinking – not about the state of the world or anything particularly deep, but what FYI could stand for.
Finish Your Icecream.
Forget Your Insecurities.
Flaunt Your Idiosyncracies.
Follow Your Inspiration.
I particularly like that last one. Seeing FYI on a memo would be less “oh good lord, someone’s having a [...]
Melt Your Cold Dark Heart

It’s so easy to get caught up in the little things.
You know the ones. The ones that throw you off. Make you boil over. Cause tizzies and spoil moments. The ones that make you a little rueful later. The ones that make you think maybe you need to look up the word ‘gracious’ once again.

Panic. In Less than 10 hours. At the Forum. (along with The Hush Sound, Phantom Planet and Motion City Soundtrack).
I’m so glad today is getting better. And this? This makes my heart glow…

Can we talk?
Seriously, I want a dialogue on this because I’m so fed up that I can’t stand it anymore. and I’d like to hear from other people on this.
Lately I’ve been getting more than my fair share of well-intentioned emails on personal safety. I suppose that as a women (and a fairly small, not [...]
What The…?

I’m sneak-posting from work.
On a good day (when the planets are aligned) I get to enjoy a lovely view of the north shore and its mountains.
Today, they may have magically migrated for all I know, as the clouds are hanging so heavy over the water that the north shore isn’t visible ‘tall.
Argh.
Dear weather gods – [...]
