A Techie’s Lament

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

In case you didn’t know, I’m a techie. I work in computers, and so am expected to have all sorts of gadgets. But since I like to spend my moolah on other things, like black knee high boots (of which I have at least 4 different variations) and running shoes/clothes, I don’t always have new […]

Gimme Gimme

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

My two fave running blogs are both running giveaways right now. Eventually I will win something from one of them, but I need all the entries I can get: How much fun are these Headbands marlene is giving away? I want Zensah everything! Well, more specifically I want a running skirt 🙂 Maybe I’ll win […]

TIFF-tastic (an ode to Adam)

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Since moving home to Toronto I’ve been able to make it to TIFF every year for various things. One year my dad got some passes from work to the closing film. One year we ended up in the party at Ultra for the opening film. One year a friend had a film in the festival. […]

And in the same breath

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

When I looked up the link to the Toronto Women’s 5km to add to the previous post I saw that the 2010 Toronto Women’s Half which is on May 30 2010 is already open for registration. And even with my current aversion to running I am mighty tempted to sign up. I can always transfer […]

Sore Loser

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

I read some running blogs (see my sidebar) and folks frequently seem to host giveaways (lots of people read these running blogs, so they get things from random companies to try out and review. Yes, I’m jealous. Though the idea of that many people reading my blog scares me). I often enter said giveaways. And […]

In an attempt to further delay my run…

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

I have entered the contest on Chic Runner’s website to win a shopping spree at Zensah! And they ship to Canada so it’s a contest whose prize I can actually win! Yippee! And now for a 12km run… Grumble. Though I think it would be way more fun in one of these skirts…

A video of the flash mob.

Friday, June 19th, 2009

I was my own flash mob on the 4th ring. Also, think twice before you search for “White hot” on YouTube. Especially at work. Edit: I can’t get the video to embed correctly, so here’s the link

…I would love to! At the [White Hot] Ballet

Friday, June 19th, 2009

A few months ago, my friend Elaine sent an email out with an invite she had received to the White Hot Gala for the National Ballet. As young folks in the city, we were offered tickets for about $30 to the event. We were also told that there would be the opportunity to do our […]

The dress

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

No, not that kind of white dress. But the dress I bought to take along to Vegas. Those of you who follow me on Twitter might remember some tweets about a lost (and then found) bracelet of mine that I left at a store I had stopped at the night before to try [and then […]
