Excuses, excuses....

I would like to use this post to explain myself, and the complete lack of posts on this blog. This summer has been so busy, full of camping trips, fun events and stories. And it hasn’t been because I’ve been so busy that I haven’t been posting. No. It is because of one reason, or rather, one man.

This man.

Tom Hiddleston. Life ruiner.

If we were to go deeper, we could also blame my friend Christine. You see, it was because of Christine that I ended up watching the movie Thor for a third time. She wanted to see it once more in theatres so that she could see Tom as Loki. I had rolled my eyes, and went along thinking who could watch Thor and watch any other guy than Chris Helmsworth. I mean look at him.


Damn.

But that third time was it. Somehow the magic of Chris’ abs was overshadowed by Toms charming face. It all went downhill from there. I was introduced to the life draining force that is tumblr, downloaded tv shows and movies Tom had been in, even listened to audio books that he narrated (cause that voice!)

So now I find myself at the start of fall, a blog empty with no recordings of my many adventures this summer, and can only shake my fist weakly at Christine because really, in the end, who could stay mad at a face like this?

(she regrets nothing)

Out of the frying pan....

As a relatively self aware person, I’ve always been aware of how lucky I am to have a mother who has a passion for cooking. Growing up we never had a Chicken Tuesday, or Meatloaf Fridays. Other than Sunday dinners, you could never predict what you would be eating the next night. Although you could assume that it was going to be unique, and delicious! Unfortunately, upon reaching university, and subsequently reaching my own tiny share of a kitchen, I discovered a horrible fact. I didn’t know how to cook ANYTHING. It’s not that I didn’t know how the oven worked, or that I couldn’t read a recipe, but when you’re 18, and living on a student budget, you just don’t go out and spring for a spice rack. Not to mention finding recipes that deal in single servings was difficult. So for that time in my life I mostly lived off of pasta dishes and chicken grilled in my own little George Foreman Grill. In recent months I’ve made more of an effort to pay attention to how some of these miracul

DONE DONE DONE

Last winter, when we had finished all of our classes at college, my classmates and I celebrated being DONE. Not just done classes for the year, but hopefully for a long time. In our program, in the final year, we had one semester of classes, more of a prep for the workplace rather than conventional classes, and then the second semester we were to find placement at a design firm. 14 weeks as an unpaid intern, gaining experience and contacts. But first, we had to find our placements. So though we were done, we were not DONE DONE. Finding a design firm to take on free labor sounds easy, but when you take into account that the studio would have to give up space to put me, time to train me, and patience to guide around a newbie, add in the fact that the economy was out of control…. Needless to say it was very hard. Eventually I found a placement, and along with my friends, we celebrated being DONE DONE! We had placement, the grades, now all we needed was to survive in our internships for 14

Whats Art?

I’ve mentioned on this blog before the topic of street art, and how my opinion of it differs from that of my Dads. Dad believes that any graffiti is bad, because its breaking the law, and how it makes a neighborhood look. I maintain that not all street art is bad, and that even in the case where it is breaking the law it Is still art. I’m not saying that its right, but its still art. And in some cases it can be beautiful, or inspiring. Most of the time it makes me think about what I’m looking at. And today I found out that in the states a museum is hosting the first ever exhibit of street art. “Today, we witnessed history being made. As the very first major U.S. museum exhibition of graffiti and street art, MOCA presented the media preview of Art in the Streets , an epic visual feast you must experience for yourself! Tracing the development of graffiti and street art from the '70s to where it is today, MOCA pulled out all the stops - educating us on the rich history, entertainin
