gold LION tell me where the light is

Have an appt Monday AM at the Apple store downtown to get my first Mac computer. I can’t believe the time has come, I’m switching teams.

What do they say…”once you go Mac you never go back“? Oh new boyfriend, what will I name you? 🙂

Experts: What are some things I should know?

I know heaps of you are Mac lovers, I’d love to hear your expertise. Mac virgin here. In other exciting news, found a few old friends from 12secondsTV friends on Keek. Remember how much I loved 12s? (RIP) I had about 400 videos, made them almost daily for over a year. Can’t wait for iMovie. Huzzzaahhhhh!

toronto grafitti

Got a different perspective on Toronto’s famous “Graffiti Alley” this weekend. If you don’t know it, YOU ARE CRAZY. It’s famous and awesome and can be found near Queen/Spadina, south side back alley.

Learned history of graffiti, vocabulary and styles. Someone covered the Banksy on Hotel Ocho. Talked about the controversy around graffiti in our city. Lots of it. One of the pieces in my video is “Blob Ford”. SO many cool ones. Good artists. Thanks to Tour Guys & Jaunt.ca for the tour.

Nice to get to0 know a little more about Toronto. Good collection of Toronto street art here. I like this one, obvs. haha

I was postered on Queen Street a few years back by Toronto Poster Boy. They were big & bright, done with wheat paste. I really like stencil painting now.

das awesome.

I’m a rad driver. Have grown to love driving since I’ve been doing it more lately (Toyota Matrix, Chevy Cruize, Ford Fusion). My fav one today was the Tijuan.

VW driving blogger blonde.

OUTTA THE WAY BUDDY, MAMA’S COMIN’! haha

No seriously though, ripped corners mega hard. Crushed the brakes, tested them good. Liked having a pro driver in the passenger seat too. Track driving is fun, I like testing high performance things.

Keri is a good driver. She has a VW and it’s featured in her show The Canadian Explorer.

Starting to quite enjoy the Olympus PEN camera. Took some getting used to. When I get better I’d like to try some difference lenses. Fancy, huh.

Wear good shoes for optimal driving performance & cuteness.

Speaking of cuteness…

Thanks for a fun afternoon VW!

GO AHEAD: this is your life.

You know who I love? @Telus & @Motorola_ca, that’s who. #

jaunting about.

So many photos from last night. Was a great time. Stayed at the SoHo with about 30 other writers, & notables for a staycation with jaunt.ca. It was really fun. Thanks to the Jaunt team for spoiling us. You’re great.

First time staying there. Rooms are nice and so is the service. Thank you.

Our night started with cocktails & deserts. Tasty treats. Mostly ate fruit & strawberries dipped in white or spicy dark chocolate. Please adopt me SoHo. I want to live in you.
