Laaaaaaaaace

While today's shopping trip was strictly supposed to be all about business casual, I noticed this beautiful lace jacket/cardigan/whatever you want to call it, and just had to have it. It is officially my new favourite piece of clothing! Thank you H&M! I plan on showing it off this weekend :) 

Nana Post

My Nana is kind of closeted poet, and she wrote this for my parents because they came down to help her with a lot of stuff these past few days. Here is the poem: 

Thank You

When you know you need help,
Just let out a great big yelp.
Loud enough to be heard in the Sault

And Patti and Jack will know what to do
They'll jump into their nice big car,

And be willing to drive very far,
All the way to Ancaster,
So that they could help her.

Her, of course, is good old Mom
When she needs help they always come,
Didn't know what they were getting into
'Cause the job really needed more than two,

That didn't stop them one little bit
They worked so hard to finish it.

My thanks and love I give to you
And I wish blessings in all you do.

Isn't she the cutest thing ever?

Official Mid-Century Modern Virginity TAKEN

My newly acquired 1963 stereo is my new love, and thought I should share this beautiful piece of furniture with all of you. It's a little more breathtaking when you see it in person!

Voila! Open it up and the stereo system appears! (For the record, it doesn't work)

Needs a bit of a cleaning...

Looooove the design and texture.

I hope you enjoyed my photo essay! I'm giving a shout out to my Grandpa for having good taste in furniture...

I feel like this is a scene out of a Hannibal Lecter movie.

Sight Of The Day

While on the bus, I looked out the window and saw something quite spectacular. At the corner of Main and Locke, there was a man who was doing karate all by himself while walking down the street.

I wish I had the courage of that man.

It's Alive

Apart from the whole running into a TV set yesterday, Tara and I also went to the Art Gallery of Hamilton. This is something that we saw:

This is by artist David Merritt, and quite frankly, it was freaky. It looks like an innocent work of art; however, it is not. This work of art has a soul. It has an energy. It totally has an aura surrounding it, which I unfortunately couldn't see because I haven't honed those skills yet. While circling this, ah, "tree", I felt like it could swoop down, swallow me, and take me into it's inner world. Because of that, I felt that I should keep my distance. 

My advice to all: Go see this at the AGH, but BEWARE! It may swallow you whole.

I Need An Automated Title Generator

Ah, yesterday. Yesterday was interesting. But then again, walking onto a TV set is going to be interesting, since it's not the average everyday thing that you do. Tara and I were walking to My Thai (Thai Memory was CLOSED for some reason - weird) and BAM! Some sort of filming is happening. Of course, we were quietly told that we had to wait until they were done shooting, so we stood there...waiting...wanting Thai food. It was quite grand to be able to watch the actor come out of My Thai and pick this huge wedgie several times. Yes, they were shooting out of My Thai...although it wasn't My Thai...it was this donut shop. I hope My Thai got good money for letting their restaurant be used. Anyway, through eavesdropping, I eventually found out that they were shooting a new TV series called She's The Mayor for VisionTV (I know, right?) 

So I guess at the end of the day, I can say "I was there", or "I saw some not too famous people shooting a new TV series". Exciting stuff, right? Of course, I didn't even think to take a picture of the filming...I was obviously entranced in the whole experience, why would I even think to take a picture? 

The most unfortunate part was that they obviously didn't need any extras at that time. If they did, they obviously would have asked Tara and I. I have no doubt about this, since Tara and I exude radiance around us. Enough said.

Definitely Famous

There is no doubt here! We (Emma, Mary, Chanel, Christina and I) officially made it onto Zu Bar's website. TWICE. Niiiiiiiiiice.

You Gotta Thrill My Soul

I have just acquired arguably my most favourite Doors album. Morrison Hotel. I'm in heaven. It's playing right now.

 

Sure, the money I spent on this record could have gone to some much needed food. But you see my friends, this feeds my soul, which is infinitely much more important than anything physical.

This is what I envision my life to be, and I think I'm halfway there. Bad ass bright pink eye shadow, idolization of weed...and an obsession with peanut butter and jam. Yup, I'm halfway there. At least.

This Is NO April Fools Joke!

Can I just say that the synchronization of "The Monthly" (new term I discovered for it - it's actually an old term, but I kind of love it - it's like a monthly newspaper!) among female friends is the ultimate measure of friendship?
