Got home from the walk and started chatting about the Kangaroo thing and how silly it was. In July I got an email, then I started a Facebook thread and lots of people heard about it including blogTO. I got a call from PETA while at the LCBO on the Friday night. It was the LA office who had heard from the UK that live Kangaroos were going to be at a dirty crowded downtown club. Saturday came around and there was a statement released, Kangaroos would not be outside the club in a cage. A job well done.
Rollerderby was really fun. There are some really good pix on blogTO today. I got a great video of Aeryn.
I met Aeryn ‘Dust Bunny” a long time ago and had no idea she was Captain of the Gore-Gore Rollergirls. They have hot outfits. Rollerderby is a very rough sport but don’t mind watching it. I sat in the suicide seating section for the second half, it’s right on the ground. They go fast man…and go in circles. The Gore-Gore girls won and I’m not surprised, they were killer, they are the ‘Burlesque girls who rose from the dead to exact their revenge. . . on wheels.’ Hot.
Come walk with me. If you’re not coming, maybe you wanna donate to a good cause? Donating will also make me look cooler when they say how much everyone raised. This is my outfit.
I am posting this as fair warning that you should really be more careful when eating AFTER drinking. I was at Kitchen then Cadillac Lounge on Queen last night. Kitchen - music was HORRIBLE and we busted outta there before the night took over. I felt like I was back at a grade 8 dance. I was hoping to catch @tswizz and the #hypercube meetup at Caddy but the staff seemed clueless as to what I was talking about. Not to worry, we had fun.
I’ve been craving poutine since last weekend and then I got one. However, the paper got caught up in the fork, gravy, cheese and fries and ended up in my tummy. I was grossed out but I guess it won’t hurt too much. Be careful when eating! That is all I have to say about that.
I’m going to Toronto Roller Derby tonight. I’ve never been before. It looks really rough, I’d never want to be a roller derby. I fall over enough on my own feet, nevermind on wheely shoes.
Real women. Real hits. Real Heart. I say, real awesome.
Elsa got a new job as a Super Blogger and I was so happy for her. She’s in NYC and lives the little rich girl lifestyle I dream of. Aaah, one day! I drew this for her because I was so excited. She also mentioned something about appearing in an Net Opera. Sounds interesting & will have to inquire about that a little more.
Tomorrow I have been asked to join forces with some of Toronto’s Top Social Media guru’s to be part of the World Partnership Walk. I’m on a team called Toronto’s Legion of Social Media Super Heroes and we are fighting Global Poverty. The walk takes place in 9 cities in Canada, and is largest charity walk fighting Global poverty.
Anyone can dress up as any Social Media icon they wish!
I’m you think walking is cool or you just wanna hang out, come meet me at Metro Hall at 11am. I’m the lowest on the sponsorship scale and it would make me feel cool if someone would be generous enough tosponsor me. I’d really appreciate not being a loser! (wipes tear) It’s for the kids!
I dressed like winter today. I have no idea why. I woke up and was whining ‘it’s cold‘ meanwhile staring at the Weather Network on Blackberry seeing 21 degrees and partly cloudy. I’m a dress/skirt girl. I wore pants and a hat and a big frumpy wooly sweater. I prove to myself all my thoughts I’ve had for two days of ‘I’m not feeling great’. It’s Friday afternoon and the office is quiet and I know there are beers being had on patios around me. School next door has free drinks after work and all of a sudden I feel better.
The phone rings and it’s Mum who’s calling from the boat up North and has the day off. It’s lovely to hear her and chat but I’m in the office and have been working really hard can’t leave yet and have more work to do and don’t really have the time to chitty-chat and get sidetracked. We always talk about blog for a minute or two. She misses it today because there’s no internet yet on the boat for blog reading. I told her I laid in the grass at lunch and had a smoke and it was nice and sunny on my face. I get to the point where I have to say “MUM, I’ve got to go‘ in a stern voice and I feel like a character in a chicklit book trapped at the office. I like it. The book is being written as I live it out each day. It’s my favorite story.
I like this picture. I like how little my feet are. These babies are a kids size 3 in the US and 2.5 in the UK. That’s mini.
The other day I had a lovely evening with some of TO’s best bloggers. I’m quite happy to be included in the best and would have been really pissed if I wasn’t. Seriously. It was really awesome to meet the other blog kids, most of whom I only know from le internet. I was surprised to really see how different we all are. Each person brings to the mix a different perspective on life and a different creative process of putting it online through their blog.
We had Julian Brass of Notable TV there documenting the evening as we build Toronto’s first Top bloggers network. There is so much opportunity for advertisers to reach Toronto’s people through our blogs that get read by thousands of cool TO people and HEAPS of others around the world. If you want to chat about opportunities don’t hesitate to leave comment or contact me. I’m stoked about where this is heading!! My dream of being a full time blogger WILL come true!
at home. watching movie. soulful music. warm inside. glowing. tower. dark night sky. don’t be gentle. you are fragile. deserving care. beautiful singing voice i hear. it’s yours across the ocean, through the trees, it soars the sky and lands with me. its all i ever wanted.
Remember this video of me walking in the rain to the elegant sounds of Lhasa de Sela singing J’arrive A la Ville? I’m wearing me red Wellies, one of my favorite pairs of shoes. Well, I came back from Florida and they were GONE from my ROOM.
Now, I may have misplaced them, it happens, however I can not remember taking them off somewhere and leaving sans shoes. Hmmm? I really miss them. It’s been raining for 2 days and I’m forced to wear non-rain-shoes. I’ve checked my room and condo and it’s pretty hard to hide a pair of big red boots. I hope they turn up, I’ve had them for years now and I really really want them back.
Dear Universe, please find my favorite boots and bring them back to me. Thanks, ♥ Love Casie
