Kind of blue
Hey, you should visit I’m a Good Story. It’s my new thing.
So, I’m back from Ontario, which, for lack of a better way to describe it, was a dream come true trip. It was work related but barely felt that way. Two and a half days of wining and dining and writing. A whole shit load fun. Really a dream come true. Volkswagen will always have a special place in my heart as a result. You can read about it here and here and here. Here are some other shots of my favourite parts of the trip.
This.
My hotel room at the Cosmopolitan was amazing.
Seeing my Dad for exactly three minutes before he went off to party.
Getting a sweet manicure at the fancy spa.
This.
This, until I puked in my mouth.
And flying first class. That was a real treat. Now I have to figure out a way to live like this all the time.
My mum left yesterday. I was sad to see her leave. I think this was the first visit where we didn’t fight once. Just really decent mother/daughter time. It was special.
We went to the aquarium, which was chockfulla little people. What are they doing there? Getting educated or something?
Cuuuuute.
This is the final product of my attempt in trying to teach my mum how to take artsy shots. Close enough.
This is my artsy shot. Octopus!
And a photo of me and Dutchie and my blue nails, just ’cause.
Had a lovely day with my new friend Olivia yesterday. We sat around on her comfy couch, then sat around on her lovely deck, then sat around in a park. Perfect day off.
Now it’s back to the grind, which is all right, since my work isn’t too grindy.

Show Time!
I was a witness at my first wedding. Lizzie and Chris, two of my closest friends here in Vancouver, had a signing of the legally binding documents beach party on Monday. Very last minute. It was perfect. I much prefer this kind of thing to anything fancy, though I’ve been to some really lovely fancy weddings. I guess ’cause my parents didn’t have a great wedding experience (long story I’ll probably retell one day) I was raised to think that kind of thing isn’t worth it. But to some it is. Each, own etc. Anyhow, I wrote about the experience here.
Please book mark www.imagoodstory.com and check back soon. I was working on it today with my web girl, Mel. It’ll be exactly the same as what I was doing for the Vancouver Observer, just on a different site. And you’ll be able to subscribe and stuff. It will be really good. I’ll keep bugging you about it, don’t worry.
So…tomorrow’s the big night. Did you get your ticket? To what? Oh…just this…
I sure hope so. It’s gonna be fun. The closest thing we have to Letterman in this city. Or Carson Daly. Whatever works for you.
So, I have two dogs desperately vying for my attention right now. Dutchie, obviously, and Grampa. You might know him from Stop Podcasting Yourself or that picture of him dressed up as Zardog on the internets. Anyhow, he’s awesome. I was determined to not let him sleep in my bed last night, ’cause my allergies are acting up (eczema eyes) but he whimpered and whined until I finally let him. What a wuss. Here’s a photo of Geeps and Dutch FINALLY falling in love…
It took a bit of coaxing but it worked out in the end.
So I’m stoked. Got $200 worth of stuff for less than $100 at a store I enjoy but won’t share which one ’cause I don’t want the person who helped me out to get in trouble. Anyhow, I’m going to try on all my new stuff. Hope to see you tomorrow!
Piece.

RWFC’s first shoot
Here’s a photo of Rape Whistle Fan Club’s first shoot starring Cam MacCleod of Manhussy, Ryan Steele the Ryan Steele Show and Dutchie the doggy. Shot by Kar Harvey and styled by Daughters of Dawn. For those of you who don’t know, RWFC is a sketch thingy started by my writing partner Ayma Letang (far right) and myself. Today was fantastic…oh how we laughed. The video should be done in a month or so. I’ll keep y’all posted!
