What are you doing for Valentines Day? I’m going the Panasonic Theatre to see…wait for it…Potted Potter, a Harry Potter parody. I’ve not seen any of the seven movies but Sam loves them so we’re going. I’m getting the super fast comedic version of all the movies wrapped into 70 minutes.

I’ve got a pair of tickets for the 9:30pm show on Valentines Day for for you. So, if you and your sweetie love the Harry Potter, this is the perfect DATE. Leave a comment with a Valentine rhyme and I’ll pick a winner. Points for creativity!

TBH, I don’t know if I will ever love anyone more than super fast internet.Is that sad? Hopefully it’s a love I can share with someone real special one day.

Drew this last year around <3 Day.

It seemed like only the beginning of Fashion Week… yesterday. This city moves so fast you gotta catch up with it. There is no time to waste, let alone sleep. The best thing is that “fashion week” is more than just fashion. It’s about the city and the style on the streets and the parties and the people. And that’s exactly what I did.

Wednesday: Attended the invite-only VICE/Rdio party where a friend was DJing…

something we all adore by solomun

Lots of hipsters and the usual, but good music and good friends and good drinks and good fun. Made it home just in time for the last train. Party win!

locked out! no more trains party shoes

Thursday: Skipped out on a fashion party to attend a geeky girls dinner at a restaurant in Mitte (the middle) where I chatted about the tech side of life with girls from other startups in Berlin.

Friday: Went to a sexy club called Watergate where it was the Diynamic Nacht party, a record label based in Hamburg that specializes in sexy house music. And damn, was it hot. Danced until dawn and took the tram home (Berlin’s version of the streetcar).

Saturday: Went to a tiny tiny club, Paloma Bar
Sunday: Went to mauerpark
Monday: Picked up my friend from Osaka from the train station and he cooked me some soba noodles and 豆大福
Tuesday: Went to the Berliner Philharmonie and listened to some Brahms, Tchaikovsky
Wednesday: Boiler Room. That is all.

actually in a boiler room.

Just an average week in the living of my life.

It’s about to get deep, we’re talking ANXIETY.

One of the things that gives me the most anxiety and possibly you too, is not having money. I’ve gone through lots of ups & downs in my life and I don’t come from money so all I have, is all I’ve earned. When I returned from Australia I was so skinny from living on next to nothing I looked like Nicole in her anorexic days, not by choice.

It’s hard to carve out a way to get paid for what you love doing. Especially as a creative person. Last summer I wrote a post about how you can’t pay me in chips or chocolate bars. I got sick and tired of people asking me to do work for them in return for things I don’t need. What would I do with a bunch of chips & chocolate? I go to the gym for a reason! Helloooooo. If they (whoever is asking) are getting a paycheque and are asking me to do work, I should get paid too. You wouldn’t believe some of the extreme things I get asked to to in return for ‘publicity’. I turn down way more than I accept. (That’s not to say I don’t love getting a few freebie’s along the way!)

Lauren posted this video that’s an excerpt from an upcoming documentary on Harlan Ellison, “DREAMS WITH SHARP TEETH“. He’s an excellent writer and inspiring man. I’m sure you will enjoy it.

My startup disk is full so I’ll be spending the afternoon moving TO THE CLOUD. Have a spectacular day. It’s lovely & sunny in Toronto :)
