Woke up extra early and booted out the house for a speed walk in the sun. Totally gorgeous out, feels like summer. Got some sun yesterday. I forgot to put on sunscreen before I left the house today. (I know Mum, tomorrow ok!) I’m for sure gonna get super dark this year by traveling on foot to the office.
Hope you have a splendid day. I wore a long flowy summer dress!! Yahoooooooooo!!!
I’m down by the water near my house, Lake Ontario and it’s sooo lovely right now. Had a photoshoot earlier today with Erika .
When it was done I strolled over to the Beer Store and got a couple Sapporo and came to lay in the grass.
The sun is shining so beautifully on the water. I’m watching planes land at the Island Airport. Lots of people walking by with dogs, holding hands, speaking different languages. Saw a cute boy on a longboard. Its so refreshing to sit outside in the sun and be alone to think and recharge my batteries.
Gonna head home soon as it gets a little chilly and watch the Junos and do a little Tweeting for @mtvcanada.
Today is a good day, Sunday Funday.
I’m inviting you to come out and party with me and a whole slew of TO’s coolest, nerdiest, smartest and best looking people who love social media being social. This is the Feb. 2010 edition of #GenyTO and we’ve partnered with #HoHOTO to form #haihaiTO. Gosh darnit, just saying that sounds fun! Lots of people are chatting about it, look right here for proof.
We’re donating proceeds to those poor folks in Haiti. You think the snow here is bad? HA! Imagine your whole house and life in rubble with no place to go. Ya, doesn’t seem so cold out now does it?
HaiHaiTO is TOMORROW, Thursday, February 11 starting at 7 p.m. at the Courthouse, 57 Adelaide Street East. Lets have a fun night and do some good while we’re at it. I’ll be there early, like 7ish. If you’re not in TO but wanna be, buy a ticket just for fun because giving feels so good inside.
Earlier this year I was part of the team behind the first Pay it Backward. I was Chief Firecracker and my job was to get everyone excited. Let me tell you, it was out-of-this-world-crazy-fun!! We broke a Guinness World Record too.
On September 30th, you can join this amazing effort in social good just by visiting one of over 170 Second Cup locations and buying the person BEHIND you in line a coffee. Second Cup will donate all proceeds straight to the Sick Kids Foundation.
How cool is that?! Imagine if everyone got involved? That a whole lotta good going on! I’m excited. I just watched this awesome video by Notable TV and it gave me goosebumps knowing the positive the social force behind it. Enjoy.
If you have a story from Pay it Backward Day I’d love to hear it 
Toronto is a city full constant excitement. I get messages once in a while saying it seems like TO is the city for me because we’ve always got something going on. This week, is NO exception, it’s one of the busiest times of the year when the city is filled with stars and red carpets.
Tomorrow marks the opening of TIFF and the first day of our first TEDxTO Conference. You’ll find me at the afterparty hosted by Notable TV at Brasaii on King Street.
TED is all about ideas worth sharing and the event will be full of interesting people sharing great ideas.
To RSVP head to Notable’s registration page and get your name on the list!

I have a feeling Toronto’s own Paris Hiton might just show up 
Rain today. Calming, refreshing, inspiring. I wear earphones to block out the noise. No noise. Silence helps me connect my thoughts. Creative thoughts. Creative thoughts on making things. Making things creative.

On the way in I saw an adorable old woman with a cane who had just placed a ‘P’ sign on the sidewalk in front of her house. There was already one car parked on the lawn. “That’ a great idea” I shouted. There are a few people around the are doing it while the CNE is on.
We wanted to do that at my old house on the Danforth during Taste of the Danforth since we lived right where the action was. We never ended up doing it because we always had friends over. They parked in the spots. I should have invited them over and said “hi friends, thanks for coming. It’s $10 to park here” . Haha, funny money.
The sun just came out. Wore two different socks today.
Happy Wednesday
Cool storm last night. Didn’t last long but it was great; energetic, powerful, heavy, beautiful. Drove around in it. Got wet. Loved it all.
The rain drops were falling down in rounds and floating in the wind. It was lovely.
Later, I went to Koodo Mobile party for the launch of their Build a Bash campaign at buildabash.ca. They are gonna give away $50,000 to some coolperson to have a party. I want it.
If we’re not friends yet, add me on FB and join my party just like this. So easy. The site has some ‘issues’ yesterday and wasn’t working.
I guess everyone wants to party? 
Yum, fried. Two of my favorites – rings & beer.
Classic me = spilly willy.
I won a Samsung phone, first prize of the night. I’d like to win some CASH next time. Gonna give the phone away to someone who is a Koodo lover, stay tuned.
Shared my drink tickets, I was like ‘let me buy you a drink, and you a drink’ haha. Um, we were supposed to look excited in this photo guys?
If I win the $50,000 to throw a party, I’ll hook up some sponsors and take it up about 1,000 notches. I’ve wanted to throw a massive guy for ages and I reckon it’s about time!!
Hello there adorable girl with blonde hair wearing tartan just like me. I spotted her across the bar and thought she was the cutest little thing. She spotted me too. Like attracts like?
It is official – everybody loves stickers at parties. Nice meeting all 100 of you that got them
Omg, I think it was my favorite song. Gun pointing hand dance, so cool.
the wild lion hair of @mhp
omg hello again, you are so incredibly cute.
She came over to introduce herself as someone who’s been reading for a while and said she loves blog. Also totallycute. Don’t forget to email me!
weekend finally. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
You never know what kind of day it’s gonna be. You never know if it’s gonna be a good day or a bad day. Who decides?You decide. Things happen that affect your mood , make you change how you feel . They affect you or they don’t. Today I went to text Twitter and say “today’s gonna be a good day”. Went down the elevator. Glasses on, walk to my bike and started riding, Backed up to take this photo.
Cruised around the corner smiling and a man almost hit me from a side street. He wasn’t looking. Should have dinged my bell but I yelled “HEY” and threw my hand in the air. He was a dark skinned black man who was heavy set with white eves in a red Tony Danza van. It scared me but I kept riding.. I saw him again so I started making a video and kept riding.
In Liberty Village, I saw him again just as I stopped filming. He saw me see him. I wasn’t even thinking of the handsome man I often see, then I saw him. The handsome one. I don’t think he saw me. Arrived at work, sat down at my desk and suddenly remembered my dream for last night, The man, the one in the van, he was chasing me. He tried to get in to my condo. He was looking in the windows and jumped down from a balcony above to mine. I remember being so scared.
My boss said he isn’t coming in after saying he was going to be late. I pulled out my netbook and listened to this song. .It’s from an old Bondi beach mix. I’m not sure what it’s called or who it’s by, but I like it. Joeph Dee’s tweet inspired the title of this video. Today’s gonna be a good day.
Shocker last night from Rogers. Told me I maxed out on my internet usage and now they’re charging me per GB. For me, that’s like trying to keep me from someone I love. Putting restrictions on the time we spend together. I want no limits and I want to be able to spend all the time I want together. I heard from a little bird that it’s gonna get worse too. I was really mad at Rogers, but I’m not anymore. I’ll just have to take it! You can’t keep me from the internet.
I didn’t shave the sides right down again, just a snip. Sorry @brundly_fly, I know what you said. I’d like it to grow a bit but the thing is that it’s going to be awkward and I refuse to have it look ugly. So, for now, it’s kinda same but not half shaved anymore, just short. If you want someone cool to do your hair, go see Darren. His spot is right across from Trinity Bellwoods and the vibe in there is so chill. I love. I love.
I arrived home to find out we had two packages AND they were both for me. Lucky day! I got two great snags. I’m not sure where the book came from but the video came from The Comedy Network. They wanna send me stuff now. THANK YOU! Getting mail is one of my most favorite things, especially surprise mail. HINT HINT ♥
I watched a bunch of the DVD and was Tweeting up my appearance at #hohoto (as in I wasn’t there but I was pretending via Tweets I was). I almost for got how funny Brett and Jemaine are. Remember when I met them? I decided to actually make an appearance and I showed up sober at about 12:30 as the party was closing down. Let me tell you, best time to show up. Everyone was drunk and was SO happy to see me. Felt like a star. They raised a bunch of money for the Food Bank and it looked like it was a really good time. Nice work guys!
p.s. My site is being so slow. Know how to make it fast? Please email me. okthxbai
one more thing: I’m in love with this girl now thanks to @misslava from Ad Girl and Tech Nerd for sharing. Omg, she’s the cutest little Raggamuffin.
Sprung out of bed and yawned out loud, the sun was on my face. Slugged to the kitchen, to the loo, not yet in a race. My mind, it slipped me…such good sleep! I saw the clock, I was in SHOCK… I was nearly late!
For brunch today, I was graced with the lovely presence of British, Bangs and a Bun writer Muireann Carey-Campbell. I pulled up to see her locking her bike up in a cute blue dress, bangs and a bun and all.
It’s one of the hottest days so far, I wore the Edie dress. Gah, I’d rather bike in my bathing suit. We had some damn good laughs over brekky. Looking forward to reading about he life in NY and Japan.
I’m waiting for friends to come over and go swimming. The air is like a thick brick cloud and it sticks to you when you walk through it.
This video has been circulating on Twitter today and I found it to be quite interesting.
