The Great Origami Giveaway
I’ve put a lot of effort into making Christmas cards recently, mainly because I put a lot of money into impulse buying nice paper at the Paper Place one day recently. I just couldn’t help it, it was all too beautiful. I like to use this time of year to finally get in touch with friends in other cities and most love receiving mail although there are a few who think cards are...

She’d be the mom who shows up the day of the class play with her Topsy Tail and give everyone matching pony tails except for the one girl who’s mom cut all of her hair off because she wouldn’t let her brush it (me).
This exact same thing happened to me. I had a mushroom cut and during a fire drill a grade six student pretended to think I was a boy in a dress. I still haven’t...

Yes my previous post was about moths, now mice. I sound like a dirtbag and I’m ashamed but not enough to delete the posts. Our apt is clean! Our neighbourhood is nice!
buy synthetic and low quality
It was a little chilly yesterday so I grabbed a sweater. At the theatre my brother noticed a little hole. Turns out, all of my nicest sweaters have been eaten by moths. Apparently cedar is not an effective way to ward off moths. What can I do? Even if I were financially able to replace my ruined clothes, I still live in the same pile, anything new will be moth supper too. (Worse, moth larvae...

I swore off geographical nostalgia to an extent after moving to Toronto. In Montreal I spent awhile torn between loving it there and missing my teenage years in Thunder Bay. I can find reasons to love and hate Toronto on it’s own merits.
Lately though the nostalgia has been a bit stronger and I blame Adam Waito completely. His new album is really beautiful and now I keep listening to...

So, I must have dreamed I posted in my tumblr recently. I am so disappointed, I was really sure I’d find some treasure here but it never existed. Also, this means I dream of writing things on the internet. No emocon sad face can summarize this.

Mid-year resolution: start reading
I need to read more often. I lived in France for a few months last year and during my very brief studies at the Alliance Francaise I befriended a retired lawyer from the United States. He retired to France following a career that included stints as a corporate lawyer in New York and Bermuda and a lawyer representing wild bears in San Francisco. One day after I’d stopped studying at the...
Something delicious
Too often I lament the foods I cannot find readily in Toronto which are all found within a couple blocks in Montreal (perogies, bagels, smoked meat sandwiches, perogies). However, I have discovered something delicious in Toronto: roasted marshmallow ice cream. Sure that sounds gross, but so does smoked meat, and both are delicious. Greg’s Ice Cream, Bloor and Spadina. And hypothetical...

Hello Tumblr
I read so many, why not have one of my own. That is the theory.
