it is a gorgeous day out today! the kind of gorgeous where the air smells delicious and you open all your windows super wide to try and capture it inside as well. so far open, in fact, that you nip out to the store and see a little bald kitty that becomes your friend and apparently the friend of everyone in the neighbourhood, as your neighbour ( Read more... )

sometimes i drop a little special k on the floor (it's one of the cereals that i really dig. my favourite way to eat it is with cut up banana and some dried cranberries. or with a handful of reese puffs.) anyway, i always walk away. i'm not sure if i think i will pick it up later or if i'm lazy. maybe i just don't care ( Read more... )

valentine's day is all about the cupcakes.
cupcakes and awesome friends who help you out when your world (read: computer) shits all over you (read: stops working because it's stupid) and cheer you up by offering you new music. and laughs. and cute stories.

potentially devastating situation averted. for the time being.

on saturday i went and looked at an apartment in the area of the city that i really want to live in but am not sure i can afford. yikes.
does someone want to move to vancouver and live with me? i fear living with perfect strangers... but that area is so sweet- there is great shops and markets, bakeries and fab little restaurants. i'm going to end up ( Read more... )
