Oh Taylor!

I'm suddenly going through a Taylor Swift faze because of Butch Walker's cover of one of her songs. I saw this video on YouTube and I like her dry sense of humour.

Looking Back on Today...

So freakin' glad I didn't work at the Auto Show this year. The pay was okay, but the hours and the job were horrible. Met lots of pretty people though. Hah.

It's amazing to see what has happened in a year.

Oh yeah, and the above song is an Ataris song. I was in a coffee shop the other day and heard "Boys of Summer", the Don Henley version. And I thought about the Ataris version. And I thought about summer. And suddenly I was really happy again.

Neat Discovery

I randomly picked up a magazine for gay men today. It's called Fab. It's free and you can find it around downtown.

Anyway, I was leafing through it and its quite handy for women too. There are various home recipes for soft skin including how to make natural body scrub, do facials, etc.

It was quite interesting.

Try picking up something new and reading it sometime.

Bit by the fashion bug

Would you pay $2500 for a hand bag?

$2500 could buy a lot of things. Like a small vacation. It could be two-four months rent, depending on where you live. It could feed someone in Africa for 50 months, which is three years!

Then again, I'm thinking that I'm lucky that I fell in love with a $2500 hand bag instead of a $14 000 hand bag like the Hermes Birkin. They can get pretty expensive. You can almost buy a car with that money. Or a really good used car. Birkin bags are nice, but I don't know if I could ever fork over $14 000 for one.

Notes to Future Self:

If I ever become a big and important person in the future, I am going to make sure I ALWAYS try my best to answer mail from every day people.

I emailed a local theatre writer, whom I really admire, for professional advice and he emailed back! You have no idea how giddy I am right now.

...which is probably a good thing. :)

Day dreaming...

I wouldn't mind getting paid to blog.

Instead of a real job, I mean.

Married!!!

So I'm currently sick at home. It's not too bad though. Just a sore throat. I've got plenty of things to do at home and its convenient that I got sick on a day when I didn't have any class.

I'm trying to stay positive about being sick. At least it means I won't have to get dressed today and I get to try out my herbal tea stash. I'm trying all these exotic flavours: blueberry, white raspberry, mango passionfruit, and of course, my usual cranberry tea. I'm drinking blueberry right now and its quite good.

On to the more important news: Stephen Christian is MARRIED?!

Not cool. Well, I am a little jealous of the wife because this guy is the gentlest person I have ever known and I am still smitten. He's pretty amazing. He started a charity, is a rockstar, has insightful and inspiring blogposts, wrote a book, and is really sweet and caring. Click on the link to his blogposts to see what I'm talking about. Read this one, it's really sincere and honest. And inspiring.

What a cutie... too bad he is married.

I suppose there are many more fish in the sea.

Headphone lust

The past few days have been spent with audiophile friends. People who have nice fancy headphones. After listening with their fancy brand name, high quality head phones, my own crappy JVC head phones don't compare anymore. I can hear the quality difference and it's just not the same.

Once you've been introduced to luxury, it's hard to go back...

Aren't they pretty?

Moments

Disclaimer: This is not meant to offend, I just found it funny.

I was visiting York University and attended a class with my friend. The whole time I was visiting, I felt pretty self-conscious because I felt like I didn't belong and someone would reveal me to be a pseudo York student if I did anything that made me stand out.

The whole class was pretty boring. And then the professor asked, "Does anyone know what myopia is?"

He was greeted by blank stares. I knew what it was, and I was dying to say it, but I didn't want to draw attention to myself incase he went on with further questioning like "Which program are you in?"

The professor tried to get his answer again, "Come on, a classroom full of 200 students, and no one knows what myopia is? Come on, York!"

A long silence. And then I couldn't take it any longer. I raised my hand and said "It's vision problems!"

He replied, "You are correct! Finally someone who knew!"

Under by breath, I said, "I don't go to York."

Feeling very overwhelmed

That is what looking at Flickr does to me.

So much for me to learn!
