THIS IS MY LIFE • BLOG EST. 2005

might as well call it the slumdog awards

I got my new camera last night from Darius and the Daily Challenge Team. I’m pretty stoked. I took three videos and over 45 photos before 10am this morning. I’m looking forward to sharing all the quirky things in my day that make me smile and contribute to my joy filled lust for life. I’m a very happy girl yet also very real. Here is what I made this morning, before coffee.

what a word, world.

I thought it was a joke when a friend on Twitter said the word of the day on Scrabble.com today, Sunday, is…Seems that Hasbro Entertainment has either 1. a sense of humor or 2. no shame. I think it’s funny. I went back just now and seems that they have changed it. Ha ha.

oscar winning moves and style

I’m home watching the Oscars with friends and comp unit. It’s pretty fun because the Twitter community is ALSO sitting at home doing the same thing as me. It’s actually pretty funny. There were screams when Brangelina were first seen. There’s heaps of comments about the outfits. I’m following the comments of Tweeps in Toronto.

I’ve attached a dance solo. My friend said I look like Waldo’s girlfriend and I think that is hot. Where is Waldo anyways?


UPDATE on Award Winning Style:
If you didn’t know…I’m so cool.
Lady GAGA is a Waldo girl too!

Lady GaGa Sells Out, Goes Corporate

Sporting her Where’s Waldo bifocals, mother of pearl necklace and ladylike Isotoner leather gloves, dance diva Lady GaGa left her hotel in Paris looking like she was ready for the sexy secretarial pool at PriceWaterhouseCoopers.

subway dance party 2009: off the trains!!

The Subway Dance Party 2009 was a hit. Jenie & I went. It was fun. There were heaps of peeps. Check out the video for the experience. We went to a Subway Dance Party After Party and it was rocking at 7:30pm. I had a blast. Looking forward to the next Improv Toronto event.

subway poem #0021

Sexy Asian couple
Speaking French from France
Russian soldier beside my seat
Killed over a thousand lost his soul

Young and vulnerable shake it up
Catch the rocket ride the subway
Transient dimensions take it slow


Speaking language beyond boundaries
Translating sound beyond experience
♥ It’s Friday and I wish you a good weekend.

LIFE

sick, mucus, cold, cough, gross

I’ve been fighting off a cough, cold, runny nose and all that crap all week. Today I feel like I’m getting a little but better, however, I’m totally sick.I’ve taken Buckley capsules, Benelyn, Echinacea, Halls, and lots of water. I’m listening to the new Whitest Boy Alive album called Rules thanks to my friend @EtotheZ. It’s making me feel better. Thank god. I’m always so high energy and warm spirits that being sick really gets me down. Hope to be better for Podcamp and the weekend.

Dear Spring,
Please get here. I’m tired of the Winter.
♥ Love Casie

podcamp toronto 2009

This weekend I will be attending podcamp at Ryerson University. Podcamp is an unconference that is free for all those interested in all things podcasting, blogging and new media. Anyone can attend! For more information visit the Wiki and sign up!

ask yourself what is real and what is not real

I’ve been doing some research into the Institute for Human Continuity. Have you seen their website? It’s very nice. They have done a fantastic job at making this site seem real. I registered for the IHC Lottery so that I too can have a higher chance of survival after the catastrophic events they predict will take place in 2012. I hope you are thinking, “WTF is she talking about?” or “Has she totally lost it?“
After researching I found out that it is a promo for Sony’s 2012 movie coming out in November 2009. 2012 is an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors. It is so easy to over look things, online you don’t know at first glance what is real and what isn’t. I make a point in my life to be the realest and seek out the truth. You should too.

he’s totally here, now, Obama

Just snagged these images from CBC & National Post Live Blogs. The National Post, CBC and Whitehouse are all covering Obama’s visit to Canada in live blog form. If you didn’t know already blogging is really cool. Twitter’s second highest trending topic today is #obamawa.

chantez-moi une chanson

I’ve been working on my French skills over the last year. Some of my tools are watching French movies, news in French and listening to French Music. I’ve got occasional podcasts also but I find them to be not nearly as fun. My french is better when written and more understood when read.

My friend Charlie introduced me to my new fav French girl, Camille. This is her ‘Money Note’. She uses her voice to make cool sounds and incorporates them into her tracks. C’est fantastique!! My other favorites are Yelle and Carla Bruni.

sharing the randomness – 25 casie facts

This has been floating around Facebook since January. I figured since I’ve been tagged by a ton of friends it is about time I shared 25 random facts about me.
The rules go as follows: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. Blah, blah, blah…

Here we go:

  1. I was born in Canada to New Zealand parents and have dual citizenship (Canadian/New Zealand).
  2. I danced ballet, tap and jazz as a kid and completed in competitions across Ontario as well as Showstopper in NY & Myrtle Beach, SC. I was 5 with fake lashes and red lipstick!
  3. I wrote a book and became a published Canadian Author at 14. It was titled Jeans: An Anthology of Poetry and Prose. The Toronto Star wrote and article about me titled “Push Over Keats, Teen Muse Steps Ahead“.
  4. I went to Uni in Australia and lived at Bondi Beach. It was the best year because I learned the most about myself and WHO I really am.
  5. I hate scary movies. I get queezy and I don’t like to put bad images in my head. I’m crazy enough already!
  6. I still have all my Barbies and their vintage outfits. I hope to get them made in my size one day.
  7. I have a Green Belt in Tae Know Do and once knocked out a boy (Note: James Roszell) in grade 8 at school. Mum thought I’d get in trouble but I said “Mum, do you think he’s gonna tell anyone?“
  8. I hate the number three. I don’t do anything in threes.
  9. I grew up around vintage cars and vintage clothes. My Dad builds hot rods and mum was a photog for Canadian Street Rod Magazine.
  10. I named my sister Jenie because EVERY doll I had before she was born had that name. I love her.
  11. When I was 16 and had braces, I did a commercial for an electric toothbrush that aired in the US.
  12. My Mum is my hero. She is so inspiring to me and has instilled good values and confidence.
  13. I’m a very loving, positive girl. I tell my friends I love them all the time just so they know ♥
  14. I ride an red vintage bike with all summer and it makes me feel free! I love it!
  15. I am very artsy. I like to draw, paint, write, make jewelry, sew clothes, pastels, chalk, you name it I do it. Borderline Artistic.
  16. I went swimming with wild dolphins on the coast of the Bay of Islands in New Zealand.
  17. My middle name is Diana after Princess Diana. My mum loved her.
  18. I have more clothes than any friend I’ve ever had. It’s an issue but I wouldn’t change it!
  19. I have conversations with myself. I think I’m funny. We’re best friends.
  20. I’ve won a beauty pageant and a bikini contest. Once I was a Sunshine Girl. My hair was long and red and I had huge boobs.
  21. My favorite gift I ever received was a hardcover Thesaurus from my parents in 1996.
  22. I’m addicted to Twitter. I love it. I learn so much and get smarter and smarter each day. Follow me @casiestewart
  23. My Dad was a professional gymnastics/trampoline coach when I was a kid. I’m flexible and can still do the splits.
  24. I have a bad memory. I started my blog to keep more memories and no one read it but ME for at least the first year. Now I write about things that can help make the world a better place, review products people send me and share my thoughts on life. It has really helped my memory and writing is my passion.
  25. I have lots of different talents and believe I can achieve anything. My career goal is to be the Awesomest I can be.

riverside adventure

When I was home this weekend I went on an adventure in Riverside Park. The Grand River was higher than normal and most of the park interior was flooded. Bonga and I set off in to the forest. It was not long before we found ourselves trapped in the middle of melting ground, mud, ice and marsh. It was time to conquer the elements. The sun was shining bright giving us super powers to take on the cold. Not even the high flowing river could hold us back. I was dressed to lead the pack with my warm jacket and Hunter Wellies.We grabbed walking sticks to ensure we knew exactly if the ground was hard or soft and to make it easier to jump over stuff. This also helped in breaking up the ice on the boardwalk. It was really fun.

great times in the hometown

I went home to Cambridge after Valentines Day to hang with my friends and family. I had a really great time. Karrera and I stopped to get some pho on the way at Ben Thahn in Cambridge. I used to love it there but my pho was gross and over priced compared to downtown.The sun was shining so bright I needed to wear my sunnies. In the car Karrera has a crystal and I caught some rainbows on my tattoo’s as we drove through the sunshine.
