I’m starting a sketchblog. I haven’t drawn regularly in a long time, but it’s about time I start again. I want to start a project sometime this year. So I need to get back in shape.
My drawings won’t be much, but it’s a start. :D

Okay this is one of my favourite songs. I was searching for it on Youtube a while ago and came across this cover. I fell in love with the song all over again.
I just had to post how good it feels to finally be able to exhale after the last few hours. What a freaking amazing game that was. :D
Anyone else out there a follower of La Carmina? I just saw this book, Charlie’s Widow, on her blog and I all kinds of want it now. I guess I’m just too weak for spooky pseudo-children’s stuff (hugs my Living Dead and Apple dolls!). Anyway, there’s a contest if anyone wants to get in on it. :)
This weekend, I treated myself (and the boyfriend, lol) with a trip to the Interior Design Show 2010 which happened this year at the Metro Convention Center. And of course, I took a bunch of pictures!

You know, it’s not that the ‘for sale’ sign on my lawn has disappeared that makes me a little pissed off today. It could have been stolen, or wind might have taken it away, though somehow that same wind managed to tear off a leg of the metal stand, pluck it out of the ground and place it somewhere else on my lawn while stealing the large plastic signs themselves. It could also have been stolen by little shits. But no, that’s not what annoys me most. It’s the fact that someone left a fucking shopping cart on the side of my driveway. Seriously. The grocery store is three blocks away. I see people hauling shopping carts away from there down the street all the time. I think it’s tacky. I would be so embarassed to be seen taking a shopping cart out of the mall parking lot. I see that and the first thing I think is that it’s the epitome of trashiness. Particularly when they don’t return the carts, they just fucking ditch them on someone’s lawn!
I couldn’t leave the cart there, so of course I had to be the one that brought it back to the mall parking lot. And yes, I was embarassed to be seen pushing it down the street even if it was back towards the mall. And because there is construction down my street, it didn’t make things easier.
I just can’t believe people some time.
This post is mostly here to try out the BlackBerry WP app. I’m still getting the hang of typing on this thing and it takes a bit of getting used to but even the SureType keyboard layout isn’t all that bad. I’m completely digging on having internet on the go.
As far as life goes I’m so tired right now and I’m not even sure why. I had a busy weekend of exploring St. Lawrence Market and Left 4 Dead 2 interspersed with The Office DVD marathon and today I had planned to do a few things around my house but I’m shifting those plans for tomorrow instead. I need a nap or a latte or something.
So I’ve wanted a smartphone for quite some time, and I’ve kind of held off on it because it wasn’t really necessary for me. However, with new things coming up, the need for a smartphone has once again reared it’s head and I figured I may as well not settle and wait for the one that I want. So hello there Blackberry Storm 9550! This is the worthy successor of the original Blackberry Storm 9530, and along with the fact that it’s a Blackberry it’s also got a lot of features that will make it fun and useful. I like the idea of the touchscreen, being able to cart around and display photos as well as a bunch of useful apps… I really can’t wait until I see this phone in action.
I have debated to myself whether or not to get this or an iPhone, but the BB (either this or the Bold 9700) has won out in the end because of it’s business capabilities and it’s overall BB-ness. Hopefully the Storm will come out for Canada soonish. I’m betting by the end of the month. After which I’ll no longer have to lug around my laptop just to check my e-mail. I’m excited. I love new toys!
So I’m sitting in a Starbucks and nothing interesting is happening. I got the first viewing on my house today so that’s a little exciting for me. I’ve done all the necessary polishing, scrubbing, vaccuuming, etcetera. I’ve been burning the Body Shop’s Sandalwood and Fireplace oils to give the place a gentle rustic scent. I just made sure everything was in place before I grabbed my laptop in my spiffy new power red non-leather laptop case and left in my cute little green Yaris. Because I know that when it comes to selling your house, it’s best that the owner and family isn’t in the home when the place is being shown. It just makes the clients feel a little more comfortable.
I don’t know how to currently define myself. I’ve long since stopped thinking of this house as my home. I go back and forth between here, my parents and my boyfriend’s and I’m not really minding it. I feel like I’m between corporate and bohemian. Transitioning is weird.
Hmm. I kinda want to go shopping now. Off to the mall I go.
Oh stress. Happy, happy stress. I was having a discussion tonight with the dude how I feel like I get more done when I have a bit of a fire under me. And not in the fearful, oh-shit, panicky way. I feel like if I’m motivated to by crazier deadlines, then I tend to do a better job. The fun thing about that thought is right now, there’s no deadline really except for the ones I’ve imposed on myself. I feel like I’ve been going back and forth trying to sort out my life, and slowly things are falling into place. It’ll be an interesting path, that’s for sure.
For the past few weeks, I’ve been spending maybe half the time in Mississauga or Toronto. The rest of the time I’ve spent at home I’ve been getting the house ready to sell. It’s listed all, so now all I have to do is hang out and wait for any potential customers. I admit, it will be really nice, though in a bittersweet way, to be done with it all. Whatever happens, I’ll be glad to be back in the GTA. :)
