There’s No Need For Cable, LONG LIVE INTERNET TV!

OK, so yesterday we got cable and I’m pretty excited that I can PVR Young and The Restless. (Yes I still watch it. If you follow me on Twitter you’ll know I have conversations about the show with a particular group every now and then! I’m homesick, watching yesterday’s show right now actually.)

Getting cable seemed SO exciting but it turned out to be disappointing. The 200 channels we were given were 200 of the crappiest most basic channels! Yes, HD is nice but we already had a few good channels with a $30 HD antenna. We could watch Jeopardy, news, and the other shows I like including NCIS, CSI, Y&R.

However, the most important thing here is, ALL THE SHOWS I LOVE ARE ON THE INTERNET. Internet TV is where it’s at!

The only reason we took the package deal was that it made Internet cheaper and faster. Clearly the most important thing to us. Can’t wait to binge House of Cards on the 27th. Last night my bf said “Let’s watch something on Netflix, and pretend we never had cable. It was better that way.” If only we had a hdmi converter back then, as there would have been a lot more shows we could have watched. Now that we consume a lot of TV shows and films online, using something like an HDMI converter does come in handy.

The cable guy also switched the HDMI cable for the Apple TV so we had to reconnect it. THANKS! Oh, and they also gave us a landline (look it up) with a new (gasp) 647 number. We don’t even own phones to plugin to it. Who needs a landline? It was 10+ years when I had one and I lived with my Mum back them.

So, I profess and claim, once again, my love for the internet. I’ll never leave you. I’ve been secretly working on something that involves the convergence of the internet and TV and I can’t wait to share it with the word. In due time my friends…

With love, FROM THE INTERNET,

<3 CASIE

Hair Today, Pixel Tomorrow!

(null)

Hi! Mobile blogging on the go again! This afternoon I’m at The Loft Toronto and Sylvie is trying pixelated hair colour on me. I’ve not seen this in Canada yet and it’s huge in Spain. The company there that does it is being very secretive about the process so this is a test. I’ve got confidence tho!

I’ve got some blog work to do tonight. I really should have done it yesterday but I was so laze and didn’t do a damn thing! Well, if you could making salad, a sandwich, watching movies/tv, and sleeping, I did a few things. Sometimes you just need to take a break, y’know?!

Luckily, we’ve got a short week and it’s only a few days till the weekend again. Sending you sunshine wherever you might be!

XO CASIE

We are most alive when we’re in love.

We are most alive when we’re in love.

Sean is making me dinner and the house smells lovely. He’s about to put the steak, lobster, and scallops on the grill and I could not be happier. He even got my fav wine, beer, AND vodka today. I don’t post about our love that often but I feel extremely grateful everyday, and especially today, to have someone who loves me for who I am and not only accepts, but loves and encourages my weirdness and creativity. I could not be happier. I scrolled through all my photos from the last year (HUNDREDS OF SELFIES BTW) and found a few moments worth taking a moment to remember.

Friiiiyay! CHEERS TO THE WEEKEND! <3

Friiiiyay! CHEERS TO THE WEEKEND!

Started bright and cold early this morning and went to a blogger breakfast with Ford Canada at the Canadian International Auto Show. It is damn cold out here today. My new MotoG smartwatch tells me it’s -22 right now. I’ve also completed my 10K steps for the day so I’m gonna stop working early.

Totally got spoilt for Valentines Day by Motorola because they sent me a NEW PHONE and the MotoG watch. I’m in love with wearables and this things is an absolute vision of beauty.

(null)

THANK YOU MOTOROLA. ILU!

Felt a little bit bad for my bf who got me a great gift but when he see’s all the things that arrive from the Internet, it’s hard to compete. Not that he has to but, I did get a bunch of gifts this year. I’ll share more goodies over the weekend.

(null)

I arrived to the auto show to the wrong area and was surrounded by the sales meeting team and walked in all leopard print, bright red, and standing out like a sore thumb. (As usual, but more here when everyone was wearing black and suits!)

(null)

Finally asked someone and located the blogger crew.

Sent a photo of this cute little hybrid hot rod, Hot Wheels to my dad. Would love to drive one of these little bad boys!

I woke up in a Bugatti! Ok, woke up and saw a Bugatti.

Always wanted one of these. Still might have one someday!

Had a Valentines lunch date with Alison.

Had a heart shaped pizza delivered to Sean’s office for him. Pizza my heart.  🙂

Travelled on the GO train to visit Keri for a slumber party. Can’t forget your BFFs on Valentines Day! READ HER BLOG HERE. SHE IS REALLY AWESOME.

(null)

Ahhhhh, the country! Nothing but the sound of… well, NOTHING.

Lloyd is my dad’s name. Gave him a ring when I saw this, figured it was a sign. GET IT? A SIGN.

(null)

And now I am starting the weekend early and going to have some beers with Keri. SO happy it’s the weeeeeeeekend.

Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful few days filled with love, or friends, or drinks, whatever makes you happy. Don’t forget to treat someone you love, EVEN IF IT’S YOURSELF!

Sending love from beside the fire,

Pucker Up for South St. Burger This Valentines Day

Pucker Up for South St. Burger This Valentines Day

You might have seen this photo on Instagram or Facebook but today I got some cool news. Sean I are on the cover of a small newspaper outside Calgary, Alberta. The digital edition is now online and the print version comes out tomorrow! Check this out! Read the full article here.

Screen Shot 2015-02-11 at 2.32.02 PM

South St. Burger wanted to recreate some iconic kisses and ours is clearly ‘Lady and The Tramp’. You can also see us on their website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

If you stop by a South. St. Burger on Valentines Day be sure to show them and kiss for some free fries! Sean and I had burgers and fries after our shoot and they’re really good. New York Fries were always a fav of mine growing up. I used to get them all the mall with Dad and my sister.

Check out Lauren and Steve recreating this iconic kiss. Love it!

Wishing you a HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! With love,

CASIE
