Even though I wake up in the dark these days, mornings are so beautiful. In those quiet minutes before the day has to start I feel like I can do absolutely anything with time ( Read more... ) -
like a peach
At Michelle's place on Saturday evening, I fell off a chair. It was pretty high on the stupid level. I hurt my toe quite badly, and I spent Saturday night/Sunday limping around New York. But it wasn't till I got home yesterday afternoon and took off my shoes that the bruising really showed up!

why you matter
“Our being is a being with. So, to be in the world without making history, without being made by it, without creating culture, without a sensibility toward one’s own presence in the world, without a dream, without a song, music, or painting, without caring for the earth or the water, without using one’s hands, without sculpting or philosophizing, ( Read more... ) -

gerroff mah roof!!
Chips and sawdust everywhere. Weird humming noises from the roof. Strange men's voices really close to my window (and I'm on the second floor). We have tree-cutters and roofers buzzing everywhere around our house. I guess our landlord felt a fit of activity and invited everyone over this week. The now very-dead tree is getting more stubby every day ( Read more... ) -

a formula, a compass, and a ballot.
The weekend came a bit early this week: Wednesday to Today have been a very fun few days and I'd just diminish it if I try to recap it. Actually, why not, I'll just go all out and reduce it into this handy little formula ( Read more... ) -
politics one
There's two weeks to go till elections, so let's get this show on the road. The more I go into this whole elections thing the less certain I am. I found it much easier to make blanket statements about parties and choose the one who smiles nicest in pictures (speaking of which, I noticed Stephen Harper trying really hard to work on flashing a " ( Read more... )
