september long

i took these photos with my film nikon on september long weekend, and i've been waiting for so long to see them...i only recently got them developed. i think it's kinda fun, like photo roulette. what you can see here are some fairy houses made by teeny tiny fairies...well, actually, it was a lady who has a cabin near ours. i'm so glad my auntie led me through the trees to show me :)

it'sa me! mario!

this is the video game i played for 10 years?

i miss chicago

woke up on the train, put lissie in my headphones, and realized the ep cover looked exactly like this

train break

you know when your alarm clock blends into the song that you're listening to, when you've already been up for an hour?

spring lately

last week i went out 4 days in a row, and i've been working every single day since the beginning on march. as you can easily understand, i was exhausted by sunday, and still monday, and tuesday, and even now on wednesday. never doing that again! my pa just shook his head when i said "Day 4 of 4!" whilst getting ready on saturday night. i have learned that a) i can't go out that many consecutive days and/or b) i can't work every day, or c) i am officially a senior citizen. my sleep is screwed up now, and i woke up at 630 am when i could have slept until 8. here are a few things i've been into lately. all pics by meh.



so i did some experimenting in my room. not with drugs.

my desk, unused doorway to the kitchen, lamp that isn't plugged in

this is how i did it. my mom gave me a weird look when i told her my idea

i sewed some doily-lace stuff that was my gramma's on to the bottom of a dress i don't wear. hey new dress!

part of my gramma's thread collection - 4eva gr8ful

made this with leftover pork meatballs... so good! but i don't really like carrots to be honest.

this is the book i am reading, and its a beauty. it is described as being written to show off the english language, and i totally agree. sometimes i pause and wonder how she thought to write about certain things, or write about them in particular ways, and i wonder if any of it is actually about her life.

folk fest

just announced: Dawes are coming to Folk Fest! i just about cried. Looks like i'm getting a day pass!

old

all taken with my film nikon

i was thinking yesterday about when we 18, 19; the most fun time of my life so far. its weird to think about all the things we did, and you kind of wonder whether they really happened...

closure

fbook, trying to lure me back in.

i deleted my facebook today. i've been thinking about it off and on, and i decided that i didn't need it anymore...it wasn't giving me any pleasure. it tried to play on my emotions, telling me that certain friends will miss me. if they miss me, can't they pick up the phone? you know, how we did it before the internet? i deleted my photo albums one by one, because for some reason it felt better that way. i'm a weirdo...i needed some closure before the closure, i guess? after a while i think not having it will be the new normal for me. i just wanted less to do online. i told my dad about it and he asked why. i said "i wanted to get on with my life" he said, genuinely, "good for you".

i thought today that because i like having order to my life, i don't know what is going to happen when i have children. they make things messy to the max, and not just physically. oh well!

there are 77 days until brenna and i depart for germany, and i am literally counting them down on my desktop. hallelujah!

i got a world map poster for my wall, and i sat looking at for a while, eating apple pieces dipped in caramel.

LOML

i posted these shots for two reasons:

one, the videos in my last post were so big, they were blocking entry into the links of my favourite updated blogs.
two, LOML (love of my lyfe) JAY BARUCHEL is getting married, and my heart is broken into a million poopy pieces. will I ever love again? i learned how to spell your last name, JAY, is that not enough?!?!

cryin

these are all things that have made me bawl my face off:

watching:


just watched this, and my shirt is soaked. i am heartbroken.

and


i don't know why, but i have this thing about the Kennedys...anything, really, about the Kennedys makes me cry...

A Time For Dancing

boycrazy

happy sunday! all this weekend i have been going to bed after 1am and waking up before 10. i am le tired.

this is alexi wasser:


she runs a website that you have probably seen already, and as you can see, she is adorable. her advice sometimes is rather harsh, but at least she says what she's thinking without sugarcoating it. also, i think we're all a little envious that she has a motive for talking to 10s of hot dudes...

she did an interview with this guy named wiley. she will explain what he does in the video.

boycrazy video- party in an alley: from alexi wasser on Vimeo.

i checked out this band after i saw this video, and i fell in love. when my sister still lived at home, every time she would walk into my room i'd be sittin back in my computer chair, listening to "when my time comes". to be honest, it was just a coincidence that it was on every time she walked in, but i digress. i called the local record store and asked them to order it in for me: i was ready to purchase this cd. i fell in love! then, this past august, i saw them at lollapalooza. i was gripped their whole set, and Peace in the Valley brought me to tears. i had brought their album from winnipeg because there was a meet in greet. unfortunately, a bathroom break got in the way of their measly 10-minute session, and i missed it. obviously i was sad. i sat in the grass and ate an apple, listening to whoever else was playing on stage at the time. then i went to find my friends again. regardless, they are a terrific band with an amazingly heartfelt record. they love what they do. this was the song that started it all for me:

thanks, alexi.

hello birdie

i have this habit of finding new blogs and clicking "older entries" until i'm at the very beginning. this lady has a strapping husband, beauty of a baby and a great shop in denmark. she loves to sew, and she has inspired me to make second hand-clothing new again, and make more of my own earrings and do-dads. i was really impressed with her site and shop, and i fell in deep love with these earrings:

it is a death trap in winnipeg right now, cold and windy like noone's business. it makes me want to stay inside, but i feel super boring for doing so. might as well blog, right?
