So the above is a composite of what my summer has consisted of thus far. A whole lot of sitting in parks with dogs, doing a whole lot of nothing. And it’s not that I don’t have anything to do. I have shitloads of work that needs doing. But I just don’t have it in me at the moment. It will all get done but for now, I just want to be bored.

A few things of note. Remember my husband from this video? Well, he has a show on CBC Radio this summer called This is That, and it’s very funny. Margaret Atwood is a fan (she tweeted about it) as well as the National Post. Kind of like As It Happens meets Punk’d.

Rain City Chronicles had a great meeting this morning. Things are coming together quite nicely. In case you didn’t know, our next event will be at the Anza Club on Friday, Sept. 24th as part of Olio. The theme is…drum roll…SURPRISES! That’s the theme. Surprises. Kind of like Punk’d.

My dearest Louise Burns has posted new music that you should listen to right now.

Remember I told you about my friend Murray’s film Carts of Darkness, which you can watch online for free? Well, it’s been voted as best NFB film online. Holy crap. eh? It even beat the Log Driver’s Waltz! Wha?! I’m massively impressed. You should watch it. It’s profound and inspiring.

I’m doing a bunch of travelling in the next little while. Might be heading to a sweet destination within BC in the next few weeks, then LA, then Montreal, then North Hatley, then Toronto. So mentally preparing for that.

Things that have made me happy as of late…

Light summer lunches.

Two pound Pomeranians, that squeak.

Dutchie being taken for a walk by Olive, the half Boston half Wiener.

This part of my job.

Rukiya Bernard and Malikah!

The park is calling me. I’m out.

Hey! Check out my latest project. Click here now!

Lots of valleys as of late. So let’s focus on the things that make me peak.

This…

Because it makes me  feel like summer, even though that feeling is fleeting these days.

Old people holding hands…

Never gets old.

Louise Burns!

She’s my Buddha babe.

This movie, which says a lot ’cause I have little patience for movies.

This song. It’s currently number one on my Top 25 most played on iTunes. That link is of a sexy, coked up version of the original.

Oh. And this person…That right there is my Jesus. I worship him. It’s his birthday today, so I took the day off to celebrate. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS JACOT! I’ll call you for the ninth time later!
