busiest week ever followed by craziest week ever

It’s almost 8pm and I’m watching Jeopardy at the office. I got here at 10am. This has been a pretty crazy week. I love what I do and I would keep going 24/7 if I did not need sleep. There are so many things happening each day that I’ve not had time to blog about it. Next week will be back to normal (whatever that means) and I really hope to show you some of the good shit from  behind the scenes of the MMVAs this weekend. My dress from Peach Bersek is going to be AMAZING. We designed it when I popped by earlier today. I starting to think I might work from home for the latter part of next week during G20.  The whole thing really pisses me off.  We’ve had no bites on the G20 rental either…there goes the fantasy trip I was dreaming about! I’m gonna go get dressed up and have a drink with a friend. I’m in the mood for it. Catch up tomorrow, xo Casie One more thing, thought about tweeting Obama and saying “Can’t wait till you get here for G20. You’re gonna be right by my house!” Then realized it might be a bad idea since they’re all SERIOUS about security and stuff. Could get in trouble! haha, losers.

how the eff is this happening? trees? really? #G20

This is right by my house and I HATE that this is happening. It makes me feel sick. How fucking stupid are the people putting this thing on? Why not host the G20 in some rural area that won’t shut down the busiest city in our WHOLE DAMN country. I hate it. That is all for now. The article is here if you wanna read the crap.

i went to NXNEi & all i got was this awesome photo

Carly & I, at it again! Life of the party 🙂 Thanks to Jason for stopping to shoot us & thanks to my planning, I’ve managed to get my work done today and attend two sessions. The afternoon one I went to was all about Women in Social Media and I learned I need to start being on panels. I’ve got lots to share about internet, personal branding, stalkers, privacy. I’ve been doing this internet thing since  before ICQ & I started blogging on that old myspace in 2005. In other daily news, got an email today for the SXSW panel picker for 2011. Had a great call about a campaign with a new client. Confirmed I’m a judge for the Canadian Online Publishing Awards. Heading over to Peach Berserk before getting my hair done  to see about a special MMVA dress too. I’m really excited about life and my friends and my job. All this stuff just makes me wanna work harder and set BIGGER goals! LOOK OUT WORLD HERE I COME! FTW! I got to thinking about that MTV TJ job everyone is buzzing about and looked back to that article about me in the Metro back in Jan. Made me feel pretty lucky/proud of how much I’ve grown since then and what I’m doing at work. You can read it here if ya want. “You may not know it yet, but Casie Stewart is your new favourite online VJ, the latest update on that oh-so-’80s on-air media personality.”

NXNE PANEL #nxnei

I attended one of the first sessions for NXNE Interactive this morning. Couple people I know were on the panel and I like to surpport them as well as the session itself was interesting: Social Media Circle Jerking 101. I’m surprised that I didn’t take considering all the girls I saw there: Carly, Abby, Lucia, Lisa & Jas. That’s a social media circle jerk right there. haha. Couldn’t help but think of Raymi, she always calls the SM events circle jerks. It’s true really, a bunch of ‘meme’ people in a room talking about themselves. If you wanna see comments from the session or what people are saying, check the hashtag #nxnei. Gonna get back there this arvo for Lucia’s session. Then I get ma hair did by Darren Kwik. What should I do? MMVA weekend and I’m tryna hook up with Katy Perry to be honest Today is a good day if you make it one. Your choice!

annual trinity bellwoods garage sale = great finds

The park is a hub for hipsters, style and creativity and it all rolls out of peoples closets for this sale each year. It’s my fav one to attend and I didn’t know it was on until a impromptu conversation after my lovely brekky at Niche. I picked up this awesome vintage purse from Brazil. All leather and so similar to one that Mum has (Jenie has it at the moment). I was a super hipster and grabbed a Vice mag from American Apparel on my way h0me. Got this sweet little collar and old gloves. They look so elegant! There’s a cool art installation in the park for Luminato right now. Crazy boat thingy you walk through with all these clinitygy-clangity sounds. This is a really crazy week.  It’s NXNEi, MMVA lead in to Sunday, hair appt tomo with Darren, lots of posts to write and heaps to get done. I know I can do it.  I have faith in myself. Good thing I spend so many years partying, staying up late, drinking and working hard…work hard play hard has been good training for this week. Ha! Happy Monday! Love you xo

this is the red canoodle

It’s peaceful and big and red and in a park surrounded by green. I love it. Sky is so foggy you can’t see The Tower today. We’re under a cloudy blanket.

fox park

There’s this neat park near my place that I’ve fallen quite in love with. It has sprinklers, an infinity pond, grass, benches, and my most favorited big red canoe. The view is pretty of the city and that of the lake as well. I often see bunches of boys playing soccer in the field. It was designed by Douglas Coupeland and has Terry Fox memorabilia. Nice to have some green grass and trees in my concrete jumgle. Reminder: Plan a park hang soon.

they commin’ to a hood near you, geee twenty

Cruised through the forbidden G20 area yesterday. Man, those fences are huge and I can only imagine how annoying it will be in just over a week. We have decided to put our place up for rent for June 25-27 after hearing in the media about the dosh a couple people in our hood are getting. Our unit is pretty nice and if we can make a quick buck, I’m into it. I’ll be reporting daily about life in the G(20) Unit. I prey that it goes off sans problems but I feel like the chances of that as just as likley as riding a unicorn into the sunset. We shall see won’t we!
