when you smile the whole world stops and stares

Sabrina was in NY for a couple days and she brought me back this little special robot guy. So perfect for me. There’s a heart in the other side of the diamonds. Expect to see it in regular rotation. Thanks Beans! I told Sabrina I want to walk to the island when the lake freezes over. She told me that won’t happen and I’m not allowed to anyways. Thanks MOM. I snapped this guy and I’m not even sure what to say about his style and hair. I found it intersting. Fashion district has a pretty mesuring tape on the sidewalk. Had lunch with a friend at Le Gourmand today. I don’t usually share my food but my sandwich was totally delish delish. Chicken curry, yum. Thank goodness for FB, a package was delivered to my old work at CTV and a friend in shipping sent me a wee note. I’m yet to go to the Tim Burton exhibit. Would anyone like to take me? I’m a good date. what’s in the box you ask? One of my darling friends Monika saw I was not feeling better and sent me a whole pack of vitamins from Swiss. A tiny gesture that really brightened my day. Thanks MONIKA! Heading to Blake McGrath’s video shoot uptown right now with my sister. So running behind. Sorry sister. Listening to this to get me up and moving. ROBOT SAYS: STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER. Tomorrow I am going to The Motion Room with Raymi. We’re gonna do challenges and see who’s stronger. She’s got a head start and bigger nuscles I reckon but imma try and make you proud. Ok bye. My sister is gon’ kill me!!!!

public service anouncement #boggTO

welcome to trinity bellwoods park. it’s a hip spot queen west if you don’t know already. cruised into the park with Sheldon and Jessica ready to’boggan some hill it was dark by the time we arrived at the bowl. same place i do to drum circle in the summer. there’s a video of me going down the hill screaming somewhere. haha. it was chilly but we can handle it. we’re cool. ladies Madeline & Kelly as you can see my photos are blue tinty and blurry. i like it like that ok. borderline artistic. ice rink, CN tower, snow = oh so canadian. ice cold. we were dancing to chromeo in the snow to keep warm (oh so hipster), stomping the snowy path making it easier to walk on. that’s why we called it a public service… this is the announcement. happy weekend 🙂

‘We Live In Public’ makes me feel funny inside.

I can’t stop thinking about this movie. It’s the sharing that sometimes creeps me out. The ‘onlineness’ of my life. That movie got me thinking about privacy and openness. I obviously don’t mind being open and sharing about my life and thought to myself, ‘where do I draw the line?’ Where do you draw the line? Is there even a line? Do I care about a line? I leave out certain things from you, the internet, my friends, things like sex, dating, my family, pretty much any problems I have as well as feelings of sadness/anger. Would I be more real if I shared all that? Am I less real because I don’t? To a bunch of people, I’m a girl from the internet, possibly someone they (you)  feel connected to but have never met. On the other hand, there’s many people I’ve met via Twitter who know me, but don’t really know me at all. It boggles my mind when I think about our world sometimes. Everyone is so connected. I feed on connections with people. I need them.  I’m sitting at my desk as I write this with a external monitor for my netbook (two screens going) while my iPad is beside me (anbother screen) and my phone beside that (four screens). All have twitter running and multilple email accounts and the second I hear a sound from one of them my attention is captured. Maybe that’s it right there, my attention is captured by the internet, by you. I don’t really know how I feel about the future of the internet but I like it. Even if it makes me feel funny sometimes. It’s a crazy world we live in. We live in public. This is what I did last night… I took a break from work…

you did it HOW MANY times? WHOA.

I first joined twittter on May 5th, 2008. At that time I was working for an online casino company doing project management. I liked my job and was blogging daily. Near the end of 2008 I was really into Twitter despite not knowing THAT many people into it. I had under 500 followers and the Toronto community was very small compared to what it is now. Since then, my life has been enriched with HEAPS of wonderful people and experiences. I’m looking forward to the next 45,000 AND when I hit 100,000 tweets. OMFG that will be AMAZING. Cheers to Twitter and my 45,000 milestone! One of my followers @MCIbites introduced me to this video made with 45,000 still images. Pretty neat. Fat City Reprise – Long Gone from Cesar Kuriyama In other news, there’s this new thinger called Facto.Me and Mashable said it’s kinda addicting so naturally, I tried it. Well, it is quite amusing. See facts about me here. Some thing you might now know like “The ring on my finger is based on a personality theory.”

canadians spend more time online than anyone else

says the globe & mail: Canadians were curating their Facebook profiles long before the rest of the world got hooked, many were experimenting with the limitations of writing in 140-character snippets at Twitter’s launch in 2006, and we watch online video more than any other web surfers. There aren’t many theories as to why exactly, but Canadians rank among the most enthusiastic users of the web and all its various offshoots. The Canadian Press talked to a few of the Internet’s biggest properties about what Canadians are doing online. read it here.

it’s been an awful good year, santa baby

2010 has been the most awesome year yet. I’ve always held 2004, my year in Australia as the best year but now I’m ready for 2011. I’m looking forward to working with more great people, sharing more things with you and giving back. Yesterday I was named one of the Women’s Post’s Top 8 Web Savy Women of 2010. Here’s what the lovely Erin Bury wrote about me: Casie is one of Canada’s most well known online personalities, and a true force to be reckoned with. Whether it was helping to build MuchMusic’s online brand; winning the coveted title of Toronto’s Virgin America Provocateur; or creating unique and entertaining content on her CasieStewart.com blog; Casie has spent 2010 building her online portfolio, all with her signature spunk and sense of humour. Warning: don’t start reading her blog if you have a lot to do – it’s seriously addictive. Thank you Erin. Check out all the other lovely ladies right here. In other news, Eye Weekly posted this today: Local writers, bloggers, chefs, filmmakers, dancers and several Toronto Raptors tell EYE WEEKLY’s Kate Carraway what’s on their holiday wish-list this year: Casie Stewart, blogger: On my list is XBOX with Kinect. I wanna master the dancing game and have a dance off! Sanasaaaaaa! Bondetourage @ Electric Christmas on Monday: Lauren, Me, Raymi Heading home to see Dad for the holidays. Really looking forward to his jokes and spending some time time in Cambridge with old friends. (Yo, message me if you are around peeps!) BTW, have you seen Mariah Carely lately? WHOA HUGEEEE. Remember when she used to look like this? Happy Holidays 🙂 P.S. If you are downtown tonight come see Prince Perry @ Bovine.
