No One Cares What You Had For Lunch

A Little Behind

No, this is not a Booty Camp post, but simply an acknowledgement that I have a back log of stories, events and experiences to share with you. This is not even an standard "I should post more" apology post with all the self-inflicted guilt and stress that comes with it. This is a warning! Seriously, there is going to be a flood of content coming at you and I don't want to you to be surprised – unless of course it's delighted surprise. In which case, please leave a comment and tell me all about how delighted you are. It…

Yesterday, Nancy and the rest of the good folks at TPH finished printing the photos for the 50 Paces Project! Printing 50 Paces After a lot of back and forth trying to figure out the best way to print our photos with maximize resolution, consistency, and to minimize cropping, I finally decided to print all images at 2"x3". This will allow us to easily hang up to 15 photos per tree without them catching the wind and blowing down the river immediately. I may be doing a little packing tape lamination on them as well, since the weather in New…

Are you like that because you are a woman/man or because you are you? I run into this question in my life with some regularity. Perhaps the crowds I run with, perhaps the twisted upbringing I’ve had, perhaps I’m just stubborn and think if I keep running into it I’ll eventually knock it down. Whatever the reason, I seem to run into it every year or so. This time I’ve run into it because a friends keep saying things like "woman are like that", "woman do that", "woman xxx more than men do". He’s usually commenting directly on something he’s…

Spam, It’s What’s For Lunch (#65 Rope Friends In)

I’ve been inspired again by Maggie Mason. She has started a series of Spam Header Posts where she lists some of the more interesting & amusing spam headers she has been getting. I too have been playing with the idea of spam headers as fodder for blogging. Specifically I’d love to see the real content for some of the spam I get. Eg. for Maggie’s example of Hot Potato Corroborate, I speculate the body of the post could start off… Today in the heavily contested Kramer vrs Kramer case, more commonly known as Birthday Party Games Gone Wrong, it was…

For my final NaBloPoMo post I thought it was time to share why I needed a bio. Especially since… [drum roll please] I’ve been invited to be the Toronto correspondent for In The Kitchen, a Vancouver-based food blog published by Industrial Brand Creative. You may remember my ill-fated brush with street meat on CBC’s Sounds Like Canada. Well, one of the other panelists was Mark Busse, founding principal and Design Director at Industrial Brand Creative and a serious foodie/epicure/gourmand. A couple of weeks ago, Mark hit town for a conference and asked if I’d be interested in meeting up for…

#18 Spill Everything aka yet another Xmas post

My friend stampgeek who has just recently started blogging posed the question: Thinking of the Season? Then waited for my comment. And waited. And waited. Then he emailed asking “what gives”. It’s my own fault, I had set him up by commenting almost immediately on all his previous posts. After leaving a comment that was actually longer than his original post, I realized my comment could be my penultimate NaBloPoMo post. So here it is, in all it’s raw glory with a little extra formatting and extra photos thrown in to make it prettier. The things that make me warm…

"…vent your pet peeves online and you may find that your annoyance gives your post a little punch." I get headaches. All the time. Really bad headaches. Incapacitating headaches.I have one now. The brightness of the screen hurts. The noise of the computer fan hurts. This sucks. Advil, advil, can’t wait.Advil, advil, tastes great.Oooh, I love advil. And I buy it in the extended family sized bottle.

When Gerry saw Starbucks’ Red Cup promotion this year and he turned to me and asked if Starbucks had jumped on board with Bono‘s (PRODUCT)RED™ ** Now wouldn’t that be great! Starbucks donating 10% of every Eggnog Latte, Peppermint Mocha and Gingerbread Latte. What the heck 10% of every Venti Soy Mocha Half Sweet No Foam w/ toffee sprinkles. But sadly, no. Starbucks has been using the red cup for years to herald in the holiday season. Quoting Paul Williams on IdeaSandbox “The red cup is a Starbucks tradition… In fact, each time Starbucks strayed from using the red cup…

#77 Show Us Your B-side aka Xmas Music Rocks

I’m not one for pushing Xmas over the November border, in fact I rarely start shopping until Dec 22. However, the combination of media prattling on about the consumerism of Christmas and ers‘ recent holiday toonage post got me thinking about my love of holiday toonage. Yes, I admit it, I LOVE the Xmas Music. I sing along in stores. I use to join in on the group carol sing every morning in high school (when PC still was a political party). I tune into the Xmas radio station all of December and I dance around to it baking cookies…
