In Seattle.
Saturday's travel was a long day, since we were still packing the remainder of our items to go in our suitcases. We wanted to wash all our clothing and linens, so there was a lot of waiting for the dryer. As well, we were tackling evil dust bunnies and hair spiders. I got Pooky into her case, which wasnt so bad because I had taken her to the vet ( Read more... ) -
Better start blogging.
So, this is the end of my first week as an intern at StickerYou.com. How did I get the job? Twitter! Amazing, eh? No experience, no refs, just me and my tweets. Well, that and my fabulous personality! :P ( Read more... ) -
My sourdough bread!

Mass and social media musings
I don't like this trend of negative publicity that is popping up this week.

Indie Coffee Passport IV
The Mascot is on Queen, just west of Dufferin. It's a large space, but mostly empty. Only 3 tables for 2 and a dining-room size table in the other section. The brass chandelier is very artsy. Lots of rich dark wood. Totally hipster. There is free wireless and outlets are available. There is a single washroom, with all the necessities ( Read more... ) -
Toronto Mayoral Race
This is brutal. I dislike all the candidates and fear what they will do. Sell this, cut that. Crazy, all of them. Pants sounds nice, but I don't see him as a leader ( Read more... )
