riot girl in a burning car lights the world on fire

I was published in an article for canada.com about the G20.

“For others, the G20 party is all about that once-in-a-lifetime experience of feeling trapped in an apocalyptic-themed movie. Toronto blogger Casie Stewart lives a stone’s throw from the west end of the security zone, and says she plans on hosting up to 15 people from her “sniper view” apartment balcony.” [article]

Shit got CRAY-CRAY yesterday. Car on fire, tear gas, guns, breaking shit blah blah. Good thing they spent ALL that dosh on police. Heard this AM they arested over 400 people. Who? Hopefully none of my peeps. It was totes faaaaaacked up.

This is right outside my work @muchmusic.

i got down with webster

Friday night DWW show was the fun.

First ime actually seeing the boys play aside from the MMVAs. They are really good, I was super impressed (as you can tell).

Pretty crap audio on this, it was SO LOUD but you get it.

Bunch of cute girls there, like this one:

And these two from work:

Spent most the night in the balcony hangin’ with the DWW family & media peeps.

Nice to be in the east end too, crashed at Carly’s place.  Her bro is in the band. I love this city,  I love summer, I love life.

Second, I have no idea who exactly is coming but make sure you PRINT YOUR TICKET!

Third, pack a raincoat and meet me at Liberty Bistro 6PM.

He can fly,

He soars high,

He can go anywhere.

He can go anywhere.

The sky is a limit you can exceed,

Reach higher.

I used to say that all the time when  I was growing up. I always meant it too.

I got a lotto max ticket and I hope I win something. Please put your energy out there that I do. Imagine how wonderful it will be to have my own internet show and share it all with you? Dream, dream big.

Happy friday friends 🙂

This should get you grooving, new track from my friend Curtis Santiago. Enjoy!

new tattoo. ILU.

Last night I got a new ink, a feather drawing on my right forearm. Same arm I like to draw stuff on, same as the anchor and the hearts and the stars and my ‘love life’ in hebrew. My artist is Stephen Shaw at Rock of Ages Tattoo. The shop is brand new but he has been inking bodies for years. He’s the same dude that did my anchor tat in March this year. If you go see him, get a cool tattoo and say hi for me. His website is here. He’s super nice (and cute).

People always ask “why did you get it? does it have meaning?” If you now me AT ALL you should be able to answer that yourself.  Yes, I have reason and it has meaning.

The thing I love about all my tattoos is that they begin to have more meaning as we grow older together. We show up in pictures together, stories, new memories are created. They’re like charms on my bracelet of life.

More pix after the fold. You will likey.

oh you fancy huh. wanna see more pix? ya.

meet my new baby girl: nanci with an eye

She’s a photographer. She likes to take pictures. She likes to have fun.

I spy with my little eye, sweet Nanci creeping the G20 security zone.

Good view of the red zone for photos.

Bet there will be some interesting traffic around here. Highway exit getting to and from G20 or island airport.

Nanci arrived last nightand was sent from a handsome one in Boston. She needed a good home so we adopted her. Her birth parents are in Japan and they run Fuji.  She’s really cute and tiny and luckily, not too frail or pricey. [We know how many camera’s I’ve been though since I started blogging. Oh man, it’s deff up near the 10’s.]

She has polka dots tattooed almost the exact same as I do in green on my left arm. I know! Crazy eh? We are like besties now. I think we look really cute together. Nanci is also good friends with Zoey, Elsa & Bobby. We are a creative internet family. I love them all.

Gonna post a couple pix from Florida later today, get ready for the sexiness that was my outfits is all I have to say. Working from home today & tomorrow cause of the G20, what an artventure that will be.

ENJOY THE DAY. LOVE YOU. xo

p.s. remember yesterday when we had an earthquake? No one knew that was gonna happen. Think, think about making the most of each day. You never know what will come your way from above, below or any direction. Positivity will be on your side if you are on it’s. <3

this made my day. i am a geek. i love this city.

the earth moved me, shakey shake.

I think my first earthquake was in 1990 but i don’t really remember. Today I was sitting at my desk, working away when I noticed my monitor shaking and the table and me. Naturally, I tweeted. This is what happened…

We’ve had crews taking down the MMVA stage from the roof and the street car goes by all the time so at first I didn’t think it was anything. When it went on for about 30 seconds I knew something was up. Pretty crazy. Even crazier that we got the first Super Swarm in CANADA. Woot.

rantable

I’m not sure what is going on today. It’s like I feel still positive but I’m having of of those ‘everything is pissing’ me off days and that is pissing me off. I really wanna get home to my computer and work on stuff. I’m super busy at work, like so busy that I’m always playing catch up and that dives me mental. I need to breathe to be creative. I’ve got a situation you could say.

Had a lovely lunch meeting today about a potential project. It was the perfect thing to break up my day.  I wore my red Moovboots today and my feet are really happy. There are police everywhere at home which means there’s likely no chance of getting and w33d delivered in the next week which also makes me angry. It’s days like these when I cruise home and relax while I watch TV. I

got the new Wired mag last night which is pretty awesome except I hardly ever read magazines anymore. I wish I had an ipad. Wow, who am I? Negative Nancy? I need to stop this. Once today is over and I leave the office I promise myself to be all smiles. I

‘m walking over to the postie to pick up a package that [fingers crossed] is a new camera. One of my loving friends sent one which is ironic because it’s his birthday and I’m getting something. I really wish I had send him a mail, fuck. Where is my head at? I realise that working everyday in a row without any breaks gives me a short fuse. I feel like I have been sitting in my desk since last Tuesday.  I have. You know how much I love my job but doing that will make anyone grumps.

I’d like to hibernate and that’s exactly what I am going to go this weekend for G20. I’m going to ask about working from home on Thursday and Friday. Gun shots were fired near my place last and this morning there were twice as many police on the ground.  My job is not worth risking my life thankyouverymuch.

Time for my show. The Young and the Restless is like my freaking chill pill.  I could use a dose of Billy Abbot or JT or even Kane Ashby. For your information, Team posi will be back later, until then, this Nancy has more work to do.

most embarrASSing G20 moment so far
