  • Oh, I would NEVER eat spoonfuls of nutella and peanut butter straight out of the jar #yesIwould #&Itotallyjustdid #
  • dinner tonight was bacon & sautéed cherry tomatoes & chick peas & fresh rosemary & pasta in a carbonara (egg) sauce & drooooooooooooool… #
  • Oh! And arugula! From the garden! And pecorino! Soooooo gooooooooood… #
  • But not as good as @kickpleat 's enchiladas, which we had last night. Damn, those were some fine enchiladas, girl! #
  • I'm overdue for a haircut. I think. I want. A bob. But with bangs this time! Craziness? Or awesomeness? #
  • Enchilada lunch! Yeah! #
  • I'm pretty sure cleaning for 1 1/2 hours in this heat counts as a full workout #sweaty #
  • I just had a dream I could not wake up from. Until I did, after a lot of prodding. Ugh. Unsettling. I feel like I've been drugged. #
  • So, made the haircut appointment for tonight @parlourToronto never been there before. Hope they're alright. #
  • new hairs: http://flic.kr/p/8m3D7T I think it's very early nineties Linda Evangelista/Natalie Portman in the Professionals. But awesomer. #
  • Yesterday, while I was getting a trendy haircut, Liam went to the Beguiling, and then Dufferin Mall. Then Sneaky Dees for dinner. No really. #
  • Scott Pilgrim ain't just a book, it's a lifestyle, y'all. #

  • http://tinyurl.com/2ane3vf A great explanation of why I love twitter (& why many just don't get it) by Mr. @ivortossell #
  • I am sooooo in lurve with this bright red polka dot western style shirt! I need to shop the mens department at UO more often. #
  • Why is it that this mens shirt fits my boobs better than most womens shirts do? *sigh* It's a big boobed mystery. #
  • So, you know those Gerrard St. garage fires? Yep, few houses down from us. Don't know how we missed the sirens last night. #
  • Been outside lately TO? It's like SoCal out there, everywhere! Everything is so lush and floral and green and hot! Lovely lovely weather. #
  • I am wearing a sun dress to celebrate. And to think, there's months more of this to come! Months! #
  • A certain Piggy, bein' cute this morn. http://twitpic.com/25smep #
  • Are you kidding me, weekend weather? Ugh. You had so much promise only just yesterday! Unfair. #
  • Remember when I posted that cute kitty picture? It was a distraction. The other ones were puking and peeing all over our clothes. GRRRRR… #
  • You. Are so lucky. You're not dead. Cats. #
  • Also, Air-Conditioner: You're on notice. You just attempted to ruin the dresses that slipped behind the bench on the floor. Tricksy. GARGHH! #
  • I had places I had to be in those clothes!!! #
  • This might be contentious, but I'm pretty sure the Chipmunk in Manilla is one of the best chip trucks around. Great poutine &… everything! #
  • Chip trucks are so weirdly Canadian, @beatonna should do a comic about them. #
  • Did I mention that I think I saw Peaches at the Grocery store last night? Yep. She is pretty in person. Weird hair though. #
  • Drunk Catan is a bad idea. It just makes people angry… er… at me (I win A LOT). Drunk UNO is a better idea. #
  • My brain feels like it's filled with cotton batting. Too much board games and carbs, not enough sleep. #
  • Liam looks adorable today though. White v-neck, his wedding pork-pie hat and Ray-ban style tortoiseshell shades. Total hipster cutie. #
  • Makes me feel like I'm married to some models' indie rocker boy-toy, or a member of the Ronson family. #
  • So: I finally tracked down Cheeseburger Doritos and I am going to go ahead and preemptively blame all my subsequent weight loss on them. #

  • I have a nice tan :) and seven zillion mosquito bites :( #
  • I literally have the much rumored mosquito bites on my mosquito bites. The afterbite, it does nothing. #
  • Oooooh! Ooh! Ooh! BTW I might get to do more set dressing! Excitement! Bliss! #
  • Ok guys, for serious: free this wknd? Want to come up to my COTTAGE? It's rustic but lovely, near Haliburton. We can drive first 2 comers. #
  • I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to Toronto. Or just sensitive to smog. Our tiny, sad, free air conditioner js making it better though. #
  • Arghhhh. Smash. Smash! SMASH! Bleaaaaaarghe… #
  • Meh. I'm going to read about some Dickensian, lesbian pickpockets in front of the air conditioner. #

  • I'm angry. Our city was violated so that the rest of Canada could say she deserved it. #
  • I love hearing birds, children, and the occasional streetcar passing by. Toronto's back to normal (but it'll never be the same again). #
  • No more choppers and sirens. #
  • Well, I will be at Bar Volo tonight, indulging in some of the cities finest 5 dollar microbrew pints. Yes indeed. #
  • Need groceries. Our Loblaws is across the street from the temporary detention centre. Even grocery shopping is different now… #
  • Found lying in the parking lot of my neighborhood grocery store: http://twitpic.com/21cahg #
  • Home made cinnamon buns, campfire meat, lake hair, deep woods golf, cold freshwater, sunshine, smores… I like my cottage. #
  • I don't know why, but I deeply associate the flavor of dill pickle chips with hot summer days. #

  • I'm pretty sure this is more allergies, but I have never felt this rotten from them before. Good thing I have a doctors apt. tonight. #
  • So, not so much allergies. Just sick. Siiiiiiiick sick. Blahrrrg. Snuffle. #
  • I miss yesterday when I had the chills. I mean, A fever in a heatwave? Are. You. Kidding. Me. #
  • There is cat vomit all up in here. #
  • I bet Tina Fey comes up with all her best material while on cold meds. Blerg. Nerts. #
  • And yeah, it totally took minutes to remember her name is Tina Fey and not Liz Lemon. #coldmeds #ftw #
  • Woah. Non-stop low flying choppers. It's getting real. #g20 #
  • HOLY CRAP WHAT JUST HAPPENED. #
  • It's the end of the world as we know it, and I have the flu :( #
  • On the upside, I'm now fully clothed in real clothing, and was home to hold on to the precious, precious flatscreen. #
  • So… Anyone else suddenly fear that oozing oil is destabilizing the atlantic tectonic plates? Just paranoid me then? #crazy #coldmeds #
  • Ok Jezebel. I get it. You don't like attractive women. Because, obviously, pretty girls are stupid. Scientific fact. Ugh. Poor Olivia Munn. #
  • I am so over this whole being sick thing. Tomorrow the pool opens across the street, and I am going, contagious diseases or no. #
  • Madras Bermuda shorts, polka dot birkinstocks, novelty cheese tee, thick plastic glasses… I am some sort of nerd cliche today. #
  • We are watching new Futurama and @elprime is so happy. Adorable. #
  • It's not Toronto fault this is happening. Locals don't destroy their own city. Holiday rioters from afar do. Thank Harper for inviting them. #
  • C'mon lookilus. Stop gawking. Go home. #
  • Or is it lookyloo? Unsure. Whichever. They should watch it at home like the rest of us. #
  • Part of me would really like to see some Queen street hipster's skulls cracked. What twits. Way to bring out my inner fascist. #
  • Violent protesters do the work of agent provocateurs for them: discourage people from participating in the process. Shame. #
  • Chief Bill Blair: "Canada is a free speech zone." Amen brother, Amen. #
  • In case you were wondering, today we golfed, swam, played LFD and made spag bol. We did not turn the tv on… Yet. Life does go on. #
  • It was actually a very good day, all things considered. Oh, and we did have McDonalds for breakfast. Take that, anti-corporate anarchists! #
  • Now we're watching Fantastic Mr. Fox. And my spag bol was incredibly good. My day's been pretty awesome, actually. #
  • *sigh*… Jason Schwartzman… <3 #

  • It is pretty gross and humid. But Liam wore the cutest bow tie today! Yay for adorable husbands! #
  • Nintendo !!! !!! !!! #e3 #
  • I'm buying soooooooo many Wii games this/next year. Donkey Kong? Kirby? Zelda? Epic Mickey? Hells yeah. #
  • What is with you, allergies? Where did you come from, and are you trying to kill me? Ughhhhhhh… #
  • Falafel! First time since Paris. Can a local place possibly live up? #
  • We went to Queen Pita. It was AWESOME. The sandwiches were not as big as the Paris ones, but still quite good. #
  • Mary Louise Parker is so hot. #
  • Looking up iconic female video game characters on Google image search is one of the most NSFW things you can do. Yucky. #malegaze #
  • Does anyone 'round these parts go Life drawing? I really need to go. Bad. So rusty. But I'd rather not go alone…? #
  • Damnit! I totally made it hotter in here by indulging in my miso/soba/avocado soup lunch. #
  • Well. That was an unsettling dream. #
  • WHY would you dig up my zinnias racoons? WHY!? #
  • I only watched that insepid new Katy Perry video once, and I already have it stuck in my head. Bravo, Katy. Bravo. #
  • Today we learned that in golf gloves, I am a mens small. Liam is a juniors medium/large. #
  • Ugh. Leah McClaren. Just when you start to redeem yourself, you write a bunch of bullcrap about mental illness. #
  • So we had ribs, potato salad, grilled corn, and chocolate guiness cake with peanut butter icing for fathers day. 8 hours ago. Still full. #
  • Then we went to driving range across from Angus Glen. Even full of meat and cake, this newbie was better than those richies with fancy kit. #

  • Know of any place to print business cards, that look like Moo (small+slim) but are cheaper/faster (matte+rounded corners would be a plus)? #
  • Rewatching Forgetting Sarah Marshall (which we just bought on blu-ray). Man, this is one solid movie. So funny and sweet. Good purchase. #
  • tweet: lucky girl, that Sarah Marshall http://www.bethmaher.com/blog/2010/06/lucky-girl-that-sarah-marshall/ #
  • This is all I can see right now #snuggletime http://twitpic.com/1vc5mv #
  • Art school profs would be proud of me: massive drawing binge, many pages of sketchbook coated in ink. They were about quantity over quality. #
  • I did some studies of Kate Beatons's characters. I would like to draw more like her. Her drawing style is like snooty, mid-century, muppets. #
  • We are at the ballet. I like that people still get a little dressed up. Well, most people. #
  • Just saw one of the most adorable things ever: two guys in the middle of an MMA fight stopped to giggle and hug it out. #
  • Yesterday I thrifted a new cream Paul Smith shirt in Liam's size! Score of the century. Also found cute 90's Gap romper and a Vera scarf. #
  • Finally found sandals! Birkenstock birkis in red with white polka dots! Eeeeeeeeeeee! #

  • Ughhhhhhhhh allllergies head hurt. #
  • I’m not sure what lessoned my head pain, the gardening, the sun, the sugar, the steroids or the 600 mg of advil. But it is indeed lessened. #
  • Recently, I have been learning to ignore my perfectionist side, and heed my introverted side. These are hard lessons. #
  • Why don’t more of you use Google? Especially Google Reader? It has changed my life! If you have it you should add me. My profiles public. #
  • That’s it Jezebel.com. You don’t make me happy anymore. We’re breaking up. For good this time. #
  • Back when blogging was very new, I followed this amazing ballerina. She stopped so she could dance 24/7. I Wonder what happened to her. #
  • Ok, so: I updated my links page which I haven’t done in years. Which is why you probably weren’t on it before. #
  • http://www.bethmaher.com/blog/links/ If I am still forgetting your blog/site, just tell me and I shall rectify it. #
  • Not, that I really think people are using link pages much anymore, but, you know, it’s a nice thing to do. #
  • Finally seeing Micmacs!!! So excited!!! #
  • Video: Micmacs: trailer HD 1080 (via jaumem9) I have been waiting to see this movie for what seems like… http://tumblr.com/xvoav343n #
  • WordPress: why are you stripping out punctuation from my syndicated posts all of a sudden? Why? Why? #
  • Today we went to Anthropologie, and I bought a fancy dress. The very prettiest dress, ever! It fit me fine too! Soooooo happy! #
  • Then we went to McEwans and I got fixins’ for choucroute: local weisswurst and Quebecois kraut, pickles & baguette. Soooooo good. #
  • Really, I should be kept away from Anthro, so I don’t go bankrupt looking like a combo of Zooey Deschanel and a kooky kindergarten teacher. #
  • Hrrrrmmmm. I’m thinking of switching from Tumblr to Posterous. Seems waaaaaay more robust. And: titles!!! #
  • We’re @ queen margharita here in Leslieville. It. Is. Amazing. I’m gonna say it: best pizza in town! Everything not pizza is good too. #
  • Golfing! Or rather, driving range-ing. I don’t suck as much now! Perhaps we’ll go more often. Compared to Liam I still suck a lot though. #
  • Seeing Get Him To the Greek, because every time I hear Brand say “I’m a motorist,” I giggle. #

  • There's this couple with matching white Ts and jeans (she: Tory burch flats, he: retro sneaks). They remind me of that HGTV couple. Vomit. #
  • They are everything that is wrong with city. #
  • On the upside, we are on our way to check out some things that are very, vey right with this city: indie gaming w/ the Hand Eye Society. #
  • Ugghhhhhhhhhhh… Spoke too soon. White stretch SUV. #
  • I haaaate that IKEA only carries it's outdoor line for the 1 scant month before you'd actually use outdoor furniture. Ugh. But I got plates! #
  • I actually think skinny jeans look great on curvy girls. It's this whole new pleats and volume thing that's challenging to anyone not tiny. #
  • I own far too much adorable, colour-coordinated dishware: http://flic.kr/p/85WLtN (or just enough…) #

  • C.J. Craig??!?!?? Hooooooly crap!!! #
  • Photo: Gossip girls sketch (by beth maher) Some little character sketches I did while watching Gossip Girl… http://tumblr.com/xvo9stjlm #
  • I wish Crown on the Ground by Sleigh Bells was on We Cheer 2. I have a feeling it would be epic. Also sorely missing: Tic Toc. #
  • So, foodie people: how do you get your veggie burgers not to fall apart? I'm thinking the water content in the ones I made were too high… #
  • I think slumping a poached egg on pretty much anything makes it 100% more gourmet. Even leftover hash… Especially leftover hash. #
  • Miso soup is about a billion times better with an avacado floating in it. A little chili-garlic sauce doesn't hurt either. #
  • Come to think of it, avocados are the poached eggs of the natural world. They make everything better. Mmmmm… poached eggs and avocados… #
  • I just found a hidden pathway in the garden!!! #dreamcometrue #favouritebookasachildwasthesecretgarden #
  • I am so wiped though. I started out just weeding, and ended up tearing up a whole patch of yard. I think there's more out there too! #
  • I have this thing where if I see Japanese food, I crave it. Partaking in Okami, Katamari or Miyaziki is delicious, I mean dangerous. #
  • Just had homemade corn-dogs and now watching Star Trek 4. Win. #

  • Would be sketching the outfits in Gossip Girl if it weren't for… Allergies? I didn't think I had them but that must be what this is. Ow. #
  • Oh Meester Chuck. #
  • I could listen to the High Road by the Broken Bells on repeat for a long time. #
  • Yep. Listening to it again… #
  • Aaaaaaaand I just listened to High Road again… #
  • Today I got GOOD NEWS. And also I have about a bajillion parties to go too. More good news. #
  • It's amazing how Paris gave me a whole new appreciation for busking accordian players (I like them now). #
  • Fell down the rabbit hole of Anti-Racist blogs this week. It's funny, I feel about them the way many people feel about feminism. #
  • It's like the old "I am a feminist BUT," or "I am not a feminist, but I believe in equality." #
  • I am anti-racism, BUT I don't think I wanna be an an Anti-Racist. Weird to be on the other side of things. Makes my brain hurty. #
  • My head is so hurty and filled with thoughts, tiny, limited twitter is totally not the apropriate medium for my gigantic brain splosion. #
  • Another J Crew Cuts sketch (#3): http://flic.kr/p/7XsVEH #

  • I drew something today. And coloured it in with markers. And it looks awesome. I don't completley suck! #
  • Drawereing from last night: J Crew sketch: http://flic.kr/p/7VfHKN #
  • As time goes by I am more and more happy I never bothered to learn Flash. But I am thinking maybe I should learn HTML5 ASAP. #
  • So, I should hate Garance Dore because she said some stupid thing about plus size people, but instead I am subscribing to her blog? #
  • Little known fact @me: I was the Garance Dore of my university, camera and style questionaire perpetually in hand. I was ahead of my time. #
  • I just argle-bargled the face on this drawing with my blender marker. It was perfect, but I had to make it perfecter. I am the dumbs. #
  • I got bacon fat in my salad dressing! I got salad dressing in my bacon fat! Mmmmmmmmmmm bacon salad… #
  • Last nights drawering (with sorta un-buggerd face): J Crew sketch #2 http://flic.kr/p/7VGrTQ #
  • I have resolved to post these things even if I royally screw them up. #
  • Oh, and I just found out "bugger" is a traditional British term for sodomy. I had no idea. Thank you Wikipedia! #
  • Critics: comparing anything unfavorably to a video game or comic is no longer legitimate criticism & no, you're not just smarter than me. #
  • Japanese Pentel pens are the bomb. Expensive though. Just bought a Tradio Stylo that is awesomly organic and janky. #
  • Woah. This new mural at Stephanie and McCaul is awesome. #
  • Some sketches illustrating my new pen's (Pentel Tradio Stylo) kinda awesome jankyness: http://flic.kr/p/7W1Ftw #
  • Frankly, this is the first time since I got the hell outta OCAD that I actually feel like drawing again. It feels pretty good too. #
  • Do you know what the saddest thing about living in Canada is? No access to awesome girl scout cookies. I've never tasted a thin mint. Sad. #

  • But mostly, I'm even more enamoured with Olivia Williams, the worlds hottest British school marm. I'd take a seat in her classroom. #
