…of the day: a few of my favourite new sounds
I use Grooveshark A LOT. It’s the best way to discover new music (especially since Pandora no longer works in Canada). One day, I entered random words in a Grooveshark search and assembled a gigantic random playlist. When I work from home, I play it and end up “favouriting” the songs I love the most. I thought I’d share some of the new music I’ve been discovering as of late: Ratatat: I think these guys only do instrumentals but it’s pretty awesome! Magyar Posse: I love this group’s work! Very intense instrumentals. Daedelus: Great, great,...
Read More…of the day: simon’s cat!
There an endless amount of cat videos out there, but there aren’t very many good animated versions out there… except for the Simon’s Cat series! The animator is incredibly talented – you can tell that he’s been living with a cat for quite a while and that he’s observed its behaviour for a while. Everything from the way the tail moves to the chattering of the teeth when the cat spots a bug is done so brilliantly well! I share with you one of my favourites of the series: Happy Caturday! ...
Read More…of the day: making things happen
This post is for anyone out there who is thinking about taking that step into unknown territory. This is for that person who is thinking about quitting the day job to try something new. This is for the person who doesn’t have the guts to say ‘yes’. This is for those of you who have that feeling – you know the feeling, the one that keeps you up at night with ‘what if?’. That feeling that is making you unhappy even though you feel really safe right now. That feeling that maybe you should just give it a shot. “The one permanent emotion of the...
Read More…of the day: leaving Toronto
Sigh. My crush on Toronto has just gotten stronger. I’m back in the capital and I can’t help but reminisce of the times I spent in the big city. It’s not like I explored it very much – a lot of my time was spent camping out in my hotel room, pretending the world outside didn’t exist… or at the very least, that I could just take a break from it. I needed that. I needed to lay in bed and play video games or watch movies or order a really expensive meal for dinner. It’s good to pamper yourself once in a while – do it! Other than the people...
Read More…of the day: my beloved Toronto, my beloved Brigitte
Not much of a blog writer this week. I have been busy with my Her Voice project as well as with Silly Robot. Tomorrow, I leave for another trip to Toronto. I was there a few weeks ago – for the first time in almost seven years! After a quick weekend visit, I fell in love with the city. I’d never felt so passionate for Toronto until then. What I love about the big city is that nobody cares about you. Sometimes, I need that – I need to be in a place full of people where no one cares. I can watch them, I can join in, I can find a wall to lean on and pretend...
