art & music: the sounds of friendship

Today it is damn ass cold again. I’m wearing the warmest unit on my head, found it in Mum’s basement. It’s a Turtle Fur headband from the 80’s! Love it. I used to wear it skiing when I was a kid. This evening I will be attending two events that are artistic and appealing. Planning on going with my sister and probably going to make a dance moves vid also. If you’d like to join us, message me on Twitter (@casiestewart).

a very cold march day march

Today is freezing. The weather’s not fit for walking outside. The wind is chilling on my skin. The sun is bright. My feelings are warm but my face is not. Spring is on it’s way, just not today!! I made a little video this morning as I was experiencing arctic winds & the true North strong and free.

Lots of work to get done. I also have some stories to share from the weekend but will get to that later this eve.


neighbourhood watch girl

The sun shining that took place this weekend in the city of Toronto was fantastic. I was filled with fantasies of summer and frolicking in warmth of the sun. I am lucky to be able to see this beautiful sunset from my favorite spot, Balconia (aka. my balcony).
There are now a whole bunch of peeps living in the building next to me. I can see clearly into most of their units as they are very close and live in glass boxes. You can see also…My weekend over all was pretty relaxing. I watched ‘The Rocker‘ and caught a scene with my sister and Teddy Geiger. I also watched The House Bunny and liked it. All cheese but funny.

walking in the rain with a heart on

Last night Mr.Playmobil was in my room. He was looking good in his fancy work shirt and orange pants. He’s got style. He was hanging out on the top floor at Bookshelf Bistro in the Receipt’s Bar. Nice to see him again. He was alone but I know his friends hang out near there.
Today it’s raining. The billboard for the new condo shows a bright scene. It doesn’t rain when you live there. They are building a bubble I think. I hoped the rain would stop as I passed it but it did not and it rained on my face. Then I walked through more puddles.

what is your blog about anyways?

People always ask me “what’s your blog about?” or”well, whats your topic?“. As this happens I say to myself in my own little head “I dunno, whatever I feel like, whatever I like, whatever is me-ist“. I learned something cool from Chrissy at a company called Espresso. It is called Wordle. I made this Wordle of my blog’s first page to get an idea of what my blog might be really about.

This is the realest and truest thing. This shows you what matters most to me. I started writing my blog because I love writing, I love life and I love to remember the things I do that keep me being awesome. This is what my blog is about.

facebook camp: connect, connect, connect

Last night I went to FB Camp. There were lots of people there. I was with some of my favorites. It was interesting, I wouldn’t say I learned alot but I did find value in it.
FB has an interesting yet simple competitive advantage over other social networks; everyone is on Facebook. This gives Facebook power as a marketing tool for smaller networks or businesses that want to leverage the power of FB and use that to expand their business using FB Connect.

fatty tuesday, what’s for lunch?

I’m wondering what to have for lunch today. We get catered lunched in the office on Monday, Wednesday and Friday so today, it’s all about me and whatever I want. I’ve been trying to avoid eating McDonalds as I have been eating it religiously my whole life. Lucky enough, I’m still mini.
I’m a big pho lover traditionally but when I went home for family day I had a really bad pho at Ben Thahn in Cambridge and I’m just not feeling it. I ordered the wrong one and it had nasty meat parts that I can’t describe. That’s what you get for not REALLY reading the menu.

Tonight I’m going to Facebook Camp Toronto 5 at Mars. I’m interested to hear how Twitter will be brought up, if at all. Although, I can’t imagine it just not coming up. I wonder what I might learn?

This is my date @shawnhawaii. He is the coolest.

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.
