the smoking gun

epicly epic epicness

- tribute to the boys behind "scott pilgrim". can't say i've ever read the books or will ever see the movie, but the thought of a comic book set in toronto - where villains skateboard to their death down the stairs by casa loma, or dodge down aisles at honest ed's - kind of makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

- marchesa. officially my fave. always feminine and AMAZING. forget vera wang, these ladies are doing my wedding gown.

- day dreams of a fall wardrobe. kudos to me for hopping on the jeggings wagon so long ago, apparently theyre so "in" for fall... old news, mon ami. must-have list to come!

- old, rustic look for my new bedroom. already on board with the rich browns. maybe throw some creamy whites and metallics in there. new desk, puhlease. pops of colour can be saved for the loft.

- cleanse. yikes.

- school is looming. get back from vacay, you stupid undergrad administrator. i need my dean's promise, stat.

- animals + children = headache.

making the most of august!

sometimes

- sometimes i love kids. and sometimes they just drain me.
- sometimes my patience just runs right out
- sometimes i'm caught between how much i value my sanity, and how much i need to make money
- sometimes i realize how much i love my family
- sometimes i just want to have fun, alcohol included
- sometimes i want to be a better cook
- sometimes i blow things out of proportion
- sometimes i'm just a little too honest. and other times, i'm just a bitch.
- sometimes going without make-up is the best thing ever
- sometimes i want to take a nap... at work
- sometimes i lose sight of what's important
- sometimes i dream big. other times i don't dream big enough.
- sometimes i just want to shop.
- sometimes i actually learn from my past, other times i'd rather forget

all the time... i'm trying.

MTLLLL! and in other news, I kind of love this man.

on the way up

since i never blog about good things that happen to me, i thought i'd take the opportunity before something comes up to complain about...

- new apartment! brunswick and harbord. BE JEALOUS. roomies are awesome. loft space is awesome. location is awesome. awesome awesome awesome.

- my camera battery spends 2 weeks in a garbage bag and miraculously fixes itself. olympus FTW

- my room is finally clean. but i'm still only half unpacked. no point now really LOL

- MONTREALLLL. tres excite.

- getting in the swing of things for this job-ness. kids + animals = fun. and headaches.

- u of t sucks, and doesnt deserve my gratitude when they're slightly "generous". fuck you. and give me my dean's promise course.

hours and hours of craigslisting for furniture now commences.

If U OF T and ROSI were real people, I'd throw them in a bed and light it on fire - Lady Gaga style.
You tricky, selfish whores, I hate you both.
T-minus 12 hours until my schedule officially SUCKS.
