the good thing about being accident prone is that i have lots of scar & accident stories to tell at parties: my forehead from running into the fireplace at age three, my collarbone from falling off a chair while baking cookies at age three, above my eyebrow from running into a desk at age five, my inner thigh from when i didn't land a figure ( Read more... )

hahaha, i love this: the meatrix.

i have a new favourite drink: creme de menthe liqueur & cocoa & soy milk = yummy. though not a drink to consume in large quantities.

sarah & i saw ann-marie macdonald at the grocery store tonight. she was hanging out in the vegetable aisle.

have been reading the most incredible book... The Good Women of China: Hidden Voices by Xinran. true ( Read more... )

1 - best inane question i pestered duggles with today: “if you were going to have a favourite female porn star based on her name alone, what would her name be?”

2 - i’ve finished knitting my green blob, and am now attempting a purple scarf. knitting is soothing.

3 - i love anne carson:

do you remember TGIF, friday night tv when we were kids? full house, family matters (& steve urkell), later maybe boy meets world? yeah, those were the days.

sad to say, i was a serious full house addict. candace cameron was my idol. i wanted a room like hers, with tall colored pseudo-plant like tubes in a vase in the corner. funny, she married ( Read more... )

Weird. Just found an article I wrote a couple weeks ago on the webpages of a few different Canadian student newspapers - one of them, coincidentally, in my hometown. I guess it was picked up by CUP (Canadian University Press) and from there, any paper that's a member could use it...? It's not the first time I've come across something I've ( Read more... )

so sleepy today, saw imaginary bugs flutting through the white porcelain sink, and the yoga was off. then i noticed the roof next door was covered with snow. had a breakfast smoothie:

1/2 banana + 1/2 orange + bunch frozen blueberries + few frozen raspberries + tsp spirulina + soy milk to cover = blend.

the land outside the subway window looked ( Read more... )

it’s creepy outside tonight, the noisy kind of wind that almost blows me over as i skip through the alleyway with my laundry basket. our windows rattle, always feels like a big storm. a fire truck is flashing red over on spadina ave, a strobe light for the storm.

he and i ordered vegan pizza from amatao’s for dinner and talked in geometrical ( Read more... )

have consumed too much caffeine-laden tea this eve, and hence am wide-eyed at an hour when i should be readying for dreamland, as the six a.m. alarm looms. the boy is preparing for slumber in the bedroom. last night, i crash-taxied home after drinking too much wine avec les filles, and he came in a couple hours later to find me curled up in a ball ( Read more... )

the grey light slants a little more acutely than normal, my sense of time askew. a total creative DEADBEAT lately, i am. lacking in inspiration and somewhat less than stimulated. my hands are lacerated with paper cuts, only one of the hazards of the job.

perhaps it was my subconscious that kept leading me to bookstores when i was trying to ( Read more... )
