important items.
so of course i'm all over the new JTE album and had been streaming it from GQ (blech, but thanks i guess). took a screencap of this one cause it's my current favourite.
lo and behold which one should he pick for letterman. thanks darlin, you have good taste. i love how letterman holds the record upside down at the end.
other important things include nachos from tacos el asador. so, so important:
oh my god i'm so hungry right now.
sunsets:
cat pillow forts:
outdoor cat forts:
CAT YOGA:
i did a yoga class last night for the first time in a long time, and it was a piece of cake. well, not completely, i mean the hard parts were hard (difficult) but it was easier than i expected it to be. i guess i'm stronger than i was. tricep push-ups are my strong suit. about time. i remember not being able to do more than one, and one of the trainers at my gym said "do one perfect one every day. then do two every day." and that's how i did it. now i need to apply that philosophy to chin-ups.
i also just registered myself for my M2 course and test weekend. i don't have a bike YET, but i might by next year and having this out of the way will make the aquisition easier. i see your bike gang, and i raise you a girl bike gang.
i ALSO just joined pinterest (it's been a big day) and of course am obsessed, as i knew i would be (which is why i stayed away from it to begin with). so, ya know, follow me or something. how annoying is it that someone took the makeitlovely handle. JERK. i keep changing my username because nothing else will do :(

how's your day?
stressful? feeling rushed? people being mean to you?
don't even worry about it, because here's a cat purring. turn it way up.
yeah, i did it.

i'm jealous of the wolves when they howl out your name
friday:
i literally did nothing last weekend. stayed in friday, got ready to go out saturday, then ended up staying in. lay down on the couch like a dead doll and fell asleep. i needed it. i was dragging myself through the days.
saturday i went for a long run, and sunday i did hill sprints. there was a robin in the frame one second before i took this. too bad, it stays.
this is the hill. it's a slow burn. fine at the beginning but by the top your legs are on fire.. it's nice to not get super winded anymore when i do this, feels good to have the exhaustion in your muscles instead of your lungs.
do it ten times, then go straight to the grocery store for baked beans and nothing else. how to get people to look at you funny, by: me.
favourite house on the block:
sunday afternoon was the most fruitful part of my weekend. it involved a patio and weiss beer.
oh haaaayyy
this beer was so good that everytime someone new joined us they were just like "I WANT ONE OF THOSE". so they multiplied.
BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
so then i was drunk and came home and took this selfie, sorry. whatever that sunlight felt SO GOOD. this is a picture of it piercing my heart.
drunk dinner! quinoa with sauteed veggies and tofu slabs.
what is up little fuzz chest.
oh man she kills me. those fuzzy toes. too much fuzz, it won't fit under her feet.
walked to work yesterday. love biking but there is something about walking in the colder weather in the sun. so peaceful, great way to start the day.
got these babies from a friend who was smarter than i and got them before it sold out. now he can't go, so i can.
forsythia always reminds me of the veruca salt song. great song.
against her yellow i'm no longer me. so nostalgic. best album. every 12 year old girl should have it. hey doi-oi you spelled the band name wrong.
ooh wait, sunday post-sprint breakfast. fruit and nuts with a drizzle of timber bay maple syrup.
ok that's it for now!

morning found me miles away
can't keep my mouth shut for one second.
blah blah blah sometimes i get going and really can't stop. just keep on talking. say things i shouldn't. like last night. thanks, wine. this was game of thrones exhibit day, which explains my medieval bridal outfit. OH WELL, MISSED THAT BOAT.
look at this tiny one.
i took a video of her purr-singing while sitting on me. it's so damn cute. but i feel like uploading it would be admitting life/internet defeat. oh well i probably will anyway.
yesterday evening, after picking up medical supplies for ^^^that one, eating a salad, and chugging a cider, i brought a bottle of wine to a backyard. things have been not-so-great at work (won't go into detail on the off chance that someone from there is reading) and life in general is hard etc. etc. so i drank the whole thing.
whoops. i also got a manicure at lunch yesterday. note coral spring-y colour. it helped a bit (but not as much as the wine). i did feel like a million bucks for a short while after, and it only cost 1/50,000th of that.
booger decided to take a break from gallivanting on the rooftops to watch us. he was not impressed with the lack of wine he was able to procure.
let's see that mug.
he's so smug. thinks he's got it made. stowaway cat.
hey mom, a little help please?
i took about 5 photos of this in progress, hoping to get the cork in the air. didn't happen. but she looks cute so here you go.
i think i need a night in. would love a potluck somewhere. i don't do that enough. they're so fun.

the sun's full in the sky
i bought this CD from the HMV in yorkdale when i was eleven. ELEVEN. i was probably wearing a plaid shirt.
raging on against the dying light
one more from the weekend with karen and christina (whose blog i stole this photo from).
necklace i bought myself. couldn't not get it. my dad used to tell us bedtime stories about Freddy The Mouse, who lived on the top of dawn hill and collected water in acorn caps. probably part of the reason i love small animals...and acorns.
yesterday it was far too nice out to not hit the park with book/beer/bike in tow.
that's my keychain right there. i strung a huge safety pin (actually a kilt pin) with treasures from all corners of the world and stuck it on my $200 tiffany keychain (high school graduation present) to remind me what's important every time i have to unlock something.
heaven:
car accident:
dinner:
this was delicious. ginger, garlic, onions, red pepper, broccoli, snow peas, marinated tofu, on rice with lentils (cooked in veggie stock). i added an ample amount of sriracha after i took this photo.
and here i am. today. hello. who wants to go to the park later? i do.

right now i just need something, you could be that one thing
burnt my hand on the handle of my cast iron pan. only blistered in two places (thumb and index) but damn it hurt everywhere.
so then i went for a walk. it took me to sweaty betties for a pint. a weird face-pint.
friday i called in sick because i was actually sick. just a slight cold but didn't want to make the whole office sick (or suffer through my sneezing). it was a beautiful day so i walked around a bit.
that got tiring (everything takes more energy when you're sick) so then i hung out inside.
inside, on the deck haha.
it was good, besides the fiery sore throat and stuffed up head.
then i had quality oscar time.
on the couch (look at what a huge beast he is)
on the chair
back on the couch.
basically it was a lazy day. saturday went out with Karen and Christina to woodlot. then we pubcrawled so extensively that we thought it would be a good idea to test the limits of the new $100 bills. we learned that they are not entirely flame-proof, but almost.
just barely melted.
is also waterproof (beer-proof)
bathroom graffiti:
made our way to girlhaus to top off the night.
very foggy bike ride home. the pits.
this is a favourite street of mine. always is so eerie.
next day: game of thrones exhibition and wandering. see the bird? i did not get my photo in the chair. pretty bummed but the line up was too long for others and i wasn't going to stand in it by myself.
ended up at bellwoods where the very beautiful and funny natalie took this picture. see how we are laughing? she probably just said something hilarious about sausages.
my hair was supposed to be straight, but my fucking flatiron broke, remember? one of the plates is cracked and i am VERY SAD because i don't want to replace it because it was really expensive. ah big ticket items i hate you. it will be the best thing to happen to my hair though.
sunday ended like this. looking out:
looking in:
and here i am. monday. all over again.
