a new video show on the internet

Got home from the walk and started chatting about the Kangaroo thing and how silly it was. In July I got an email, then I started a Facebook thread and lots of people heard about it including blogTO. I got a call from PETA while at the LCBO on the Friday night. It was the LA office who had heard from the UK that live Kangaroos were going to be at a dirty crowded downtown club. Saturday came around and there was a statement released, Kangaroos would not be outside the club in a cage. A job well done. Rollerderby was really fun. There are some really good pix on blogTO today. I got a great video of Aeryn. I met Aeryn ‘Dust Bunny” a long time ago and had no idea she was Captain of the Gore-Gore Rollergirls. They have hot outfits. Rollerderby is a very rough sport but don’t mind watching it. I sat in the suicide seating section for the second half, it’s right on the ground. They go fast man…and go in circles. The Gore-Gore girls won and I’m not surprised, they were killer, they are the ‘Burlesque girls who rose from the dead to exact their revenge. . . on wheels.’ Hot.

pretty shitty kitty city…meh.

I’m having one of those days where work seems like the hardest thing to do. I want to write and work on things for good causes and take pictures and make art. I picked some lilacs at lunch and sat in the park.  The lilacs smell so pretty,  they create an aroma of spring around me. It’s lovely. I wore a dress today that spins round, this is me in the sunshine. Today is the day I think to myself, you should be a full time blogger. It seems hard and a big jump from having a stable job with catered lunches and benefits. Meh. I wish that day would get here sooner. You spin me right round right round, Irish styles…

yeah, i’d call it a good friday

Today is good Friday. All that means to me is l.o.n.g. weekend. Heck yes! I went for a walk and coffee and soaked up some sunshine. Then I came home and hung out with my BFF; we look very much alike. I’ve been feeling super busy lately and have been looking forward to this weekend so I can chill out and relax. I love spending time at home with myself. It’s really important to take time for yourself & recharge. If I don’t get self time I get grumpy. Today, I’m feeling great. Happy Holiday to everyone celebrating. I’ll be celebrating myself!

thanks for the gift bag

Last night I attended an exclusive event at Gaffa’s Fine Eyewear boutique on Queen Street. It was OK. Lots of people, style, music, wine and simple snacks. I was happy to be able to check it out. However, there was one problem, they promoted that there were these swanky gift bags for all attendees valued at $300. This obviously got peoples attention. The event was from 7-10.pm I went at 8:30, was told I was “too early for gift bag“by an employee. Annoying. So, I went back at 10pm and another girl said “oh we took the rest to Lobby”. Like WTF. There was no way I’d be chasing that much! These glasses were my favorite. UPDATE: I got an email from Mr. Gaffas and maybe I will buy my glasses there. It was very nice of him to reply to my email. I understand that it was a ‘gift’ but I was there two times. I went to the event based on a friends recomendation from a far away country. I know it’s a great shop with great glasses. I’ll let you all know how my store visit goes tomorrow.

i am now a world record breaking human

This past Saturday was #pibTO and we did it. We broke the Guinness World record for Coffee Acts of Kindness and has over 600 people buying coffee for the person behind them in line. This is very exciting and impressive considering it was probably the windiest day in Toronto ever (see example video).All the notable media were out to take part and cover the event. Darius is getting ready to chat CP24 and I’m having a hoot chatting it up with Oren from Rogers. There were all kinds of entertainment news reporters flocking around. Love it. It was an amazing day filled with great people for a good cause. One hundred percent of the proceeds went to the SickKids Foundation. Check out all these good lookin‘ do-gooders!! You can catch other mentions about #pibTO in today’s Metro, BlogTO, Nitch blog. One of my favorite parts of the day was Mr.Scott Jackson beatbox champion. He is amazing.
