After a lovely afternoon shopping the cruising Queen Street yesterday, Jenie & I went to #nerdlearn hosted by The Working Group at The Burroughes building. You know how much I love nerds and events with hashtag titles. The panel was talking mostly about Rails, we only caught the end. I love this space. Old, bright & beautiful. Hosted Puma Social on the 6th floor few months back. Packed house. Such a nice office. Great job on the renos team! Team TWG/babes Andrés & Jon Lim. Props to TWG’s Dessy who made these awesome shirts. So cute. This was the first nerdlearn event, more to come. I think it’s a great idea & amazing space. Nice job TWG!

Caught a glimpse of sun yesterday. Did you see it? Did it touch your face too? I was getting my nails done. Treated myself I’ve been workin’ real hard lately. They are the colour of burning. Natalie Dee’s coming today is about nails too. I love her. Getting ready to retire Robert, my EEE PC. Ordered this appropriate Gelaskin – Underworld by Colin Thompson from Australia. This year the typewriter stopped being produced. I love typewriter and this is a great way to celebrate/remember both. Had band practice last night & made some jewellery. Funnest part is untangling the bunches. So many things you forget about over the years, styles change, etc. Total blast to rummage with friends. We’ve been digging Pop Chips lately. Probs due to the first shipment I got from a PR agency. THANKS GUYS! We’ve purchased a bunch since. See, sending stuff to people really works. Wanna send me something? Go nuts & ask for address -> [email protected]. This quinoa cacoa cereal is THE BEST. New fav snack, not from PR agency. Crazy awesome fog out there this morning. Woke up in THE CLOUD. Hope we see some sun today. I’m ready for a great weekeend. Busy day today, Pepsi party planning, locksmith visit, we might get patio grass. I’ve been having a few issues with the lock on my front door and I keep getting locked out. It’s not fun at all!! Luckily my friend told me about a local locksmith in Scottsdale so I arranged an appointment and the issue will hopefully be fixed today. I’m pretty tempted to ask if the locksmith can install keyless entry for me. It’d be so much easier!! Looking forward to late arvo when my sis & I go shopping. Tonight I’m stopping by#nerdlearn – Good Developers Drinking…

Last night Keri & I accomplished something that had been a loooooooong time coming. We finally put together a much needed stand for my TV. I had it on milk crates. Don’t judge ok, I know it was ghetto fabulous. It’s over now and I’m happy that we managed to put it all together with little room for error. After I thought how fun it would have been if we filmed it. I’m sure there’s people who like watching that stuff. It’s crazy how many dirty jokes arise when you’re jamming screws in holes and banging stuff together. We had a problem with this one fourth hole and didn’t know what to put in it. Then, we laughed hard for at least five mins. The kind of laughing where your tummy muscles let you know they’re alive and your face hurts. Y’know what I jammed in that fourth hole? A little note that says something like “Hi, I’m Casie Stewart I put this together May 17th 2011 with Keri and it was fun + URL“. Maybe one day, many many moons from now, someone will buy this off me or find it in a dumpster and smile. Voila!

Yesterday I had my first official Jukari class with Carla at King West Fitness. Such beautiful gym. I’ve wanted to workout (in general but) at this gym for years. Very happy they’ve invited me in. Thanks guys! I can kick way higher than this but it’s not so easy with camera in your hand to balance and not look silly. Trust me. I practice. These are shoes for Jukari and great for indoor workouts. Reebok Canada hooked me up. They’re REALLY light and the mesh on the top/sides is like AC for your feet. Carla (or the teacher) yells “hup hup” and you go back & jump high or kick etc. It’s really fun. This is me in action. We are running in circles & doing half moons here. Off the ground! Frog leap. FLYING! My Monday class is advanced Jukari for dancers. I needed something harder than my first class. Basically, I really wanna work hard & sweat. To be honest, my body is hurting today in arms, abs, legs, shoulders. It’s a full body workout. Can’t wait to feel it tomorrow 🙂 Last time I was at King West Fitness for the launch of Jukari Slice.ca was there & made this video. You can see bits of me, I’m on the far left during the class. Tina asked Julie about the benefits etc. of Jukari. Post workout we used this thinger that is for Trigger Point Therapy. You roll your back legs etc on it. It hurts but feels good. Y’know, the good hurt (burn). I have some free passes so if you wanna try Jukari let me know!

I had a great weekend. You? Did some reading and surfing. I love surfing ocean/internet. Saturday I had a date with myself where I  freely explored Etsy, picking up a few choice pieces from around the world. I read articles from my RSS, got lost in tumblr, and shared things I found along the way. This video is a short documentary about Influence that explores what it means to be an influencer. It pays special attention to trends and people in history. I really love how it shines light on the fact that creativity is contagious in music, fashion and entertainment. I hope you enoy it. Would love to know your thoughts. Please share in comments! Happy Monday 🙂

A Photobooth! Mariposa Cruises had Flashpoint Photobooth at their party the other day. Keri posted about it here and my post is here.
