monday mashup

It’s gettin’ chilly and I don’t mind. I really hate being cold but I also love wool sweaters and staying inside. I got a new bed this weekend and it’s as my hips so you have to jump up. I feel like a Princess, I’ve never loved my own room so much. I’ll be spending most the winter there now. Room transformation is coming along good too. I have thrown out more crap in the last three days than ever in my life. Determined to shed things I do not need so I only have the things I want. Next stop is the closet, then Goodwill. It feels great to get rid of stuff, new addiction coming, I can feel it. I will NOT be a hoarder.

Measuring Tape Girl screening went well yesterday. I quite enjoy short films, so much packed into a small time frame. Lots of creativity. I’ve got one that needs some attention. Hope to have done before 2012. Here’s myself w/ Chrissy from Vocab Communications, Marco, director and Jessica the lead.

I want to be in a movie. It’s about time I had a meeting with my agent and sussed out how we can make that happen.

Big American Apparel warehouse sale coming up. Remmeber the last AA Rummage Sale? It was MEGA. Luckily we got line bypass (Thanks Joey!). The deals were really, really good. Hipster heaven. Go early, bring cash.

In other news, saw this on TheGrid, Nuit Blanche Animated. I love animated, you know this.

I’ve made a commitment to drink the juices today and do the cleanse. I am determined to do it. I am strong.  Yesterday I wasn’t but today I am. Amazing how you change one day to the next. I think Monday has a lot to do with it. I miss not having a bike. I have a new HTC phone I need to switch to. My house is a distaster. Don’t you sometimes just wanna crawl back into bed? I do, but I’ve got lots to get done and I want to do it. Maybe I’ll work from bed instead 🙂

If you get cold today, put this on. You will be amazed by the warmth the sound of a fire brings.

Don’t let the rain get you down, feel it on your face, feel alive!

For Nuit Blanche last night I was in disguise, Keri too. Some interesting findings from our art installation that I will share with you later. It is amazing the difference from my usual blonde hair  to these long brown locks. SHOCKING really.

Big ups & thanks to the team at Travelling Hitmen. They sent me a huge box of shirts & goodies. This one is my fav. WATCH YOUR BACK. Hitmen be commin’.

Screening of Measuring Tape Girl is today (2pm & 4pm) at the National Film Board. I’ll be there all afternoon hosting & doing interviews. The film is about self expression & blogging. I just finished pre-screening it. Looking forward to chatting about it with the director.

How to Be Art

Weekend Tune: “Best Friend” by The Drums

Happy weekend everyone! As you know I always do my best to bring you not only rad tunes, but also provide some dance move inspiration. Ladies and gents I introduce to you… “Best Friend” by The Drums!

Here frontman Jonathan Pierce shows of just how to perfect his subtle (yet effective) dance move approach – staccato accented finger waves and points! And when in doubt? Put your hands on your hips and shimmy your shoulders. Cool sunglasses optional.

The Drums play a sold out show at the MOD Club Saturday night! If you’re without a ticket and still wanna check them out live head over to Sonic Boom for their in-store at 7pm!

Enjoy!

She’s Connected Social Media Conference – Speaker

I was tweeting via iPad while I was on stage.

Panel after me had Wendy & Raymi on it. Good day. Sitting with some nice peeps right now. They were nice enough to give me a seat at their table. Stephen and I are interviewing She’s Connected Organizer Donna and an attendee at the end of the day.
