Happy Friday

Oh Happy Day - Not really - I got bucket loads of work to do, I got snippy on the phone with via (what's new) and I have to spend hours moving files (mostly itunes) to my new computer. But, hey .... NEW computer! Swweeeetttnnnneeeessss. ..... just like this picture of (some) of my favourites.

So luxurious. The whole padded wall behind the bed is taking my dreams of a fabric headboard and going to far beyond! Happy Friday!!

Hallowe'en 2009

So this past weekend was the most beloved of holidays, save for Christmas, Hallowe'en. Both my camera and my phone have been acting up: one won't take pictures, the other won't let me transfer pictures I have taken onto my computer (though I suspect this is more Jules' fault than anything else). Anyway, all I have to show for it pictures from other people's cameras (sketch). Hopefully I will be able to transfer the photos from my phone soon. Until then:

I LOVE this picture of Ainsley et Moi - we look so happy and carefree

Also, Calvin looked amazing as Tuxedo Mask!

Pearl + Frankie: New Episode

Excellent - although the formatting is Off and bothering me endlessly, there is a new Pearl and Frankie episode up at Pearl + Frankie: The Blog


Enjoy!

Pack Up Your Files Jules ....

Time to start prepping for my new computer - put that champagne on ice and turn on some sexy music because my new machine has been shipped. It is now only a matter of days until it will be mine! This morning I turned on Julius and just as I was about to check my email he crashed hardcore - I mean no light no nothing. Half of an hour later we were finally back up and running and I saw the email from Dell in my inbox. It's like Jules knew and wanted to prevent me seeing the fabulous news .... he better start packing up all his files and searching online for a new home because his days are numbered.

Confession: Rapture Rhythms

Last night, after wandering downtown Kingston streets I ended up at my highschool friend's house just off campus. It was almost 2 am, we were chowing down on cheese and spinach pizza and reminiscing about the time I got in trouble for leaving my juicebox on the table in the cafetria in grade 10 - humiliating. While recounting that story to the group I began thinking about other random things from high school, namely bubbles on fire, jazz solos and band trips,  ping pong in gym class and confession. I've never confessed to a priest because that is some straight up Roman Catholic business and that's not how I role, but I did attend a Catholic high school within which I went to near-monthly mass and at least once a semester our religion class was sent to the in school chapel (I feel like this was called something else, but I've blanked). It was always a semi awkward affair for the reason stated above. Usually I would bide my time reading the reflection questions our lovely/awesome Chaplain (sidenote: who also wrote me a wonder letter of reference for a scholarship which I am eternally grateful for) had projected onto a wall until an appropriate number of students had confessed then I would silently slip out and back to class. This sort of anxious and uncomfortable experience of course brought me back to another awkward religious event: The RAPTURE. Now I myself am not in on this whole Rapture bonanza which televangelists seem to be delighted, no, Ecstatic over "WE ARE LIVING IN THE END OF DAYS- PRAISE THE LORD HALLELUJAH, AMEN!" (straight up this is how one lady minister began her preaching when I tuned into CTS midday a couple of weeks ago) .... but I am ecstatic over the song above and to more of an extent over the version of it below. I am ready to fly awayyyyyy - oh so anxious for the Rapture dayyyy! .....Well I've heard about it since I was a child, carried it with me through my troubles and trials .... I just can't wait!!! I just can't help myself, it is so catchy. Also it remains semi novel to me as I have yet to find an available mp3 version so I'm stuck searching it up on Youtube every time I'm looking to hear a little fundamentalist folk .... Anyway,  gather 'round kiddies and enjoy some Rapture Rhythms with me.



p.s. How random is the accompanying slideshow in the first video? - 1:50 and 2:26 are a bit much ... but then so is the whole thing...
