  • Today, while watching a video featuring Heidi Montag, my normally docile cat bit me twice. I totally deserved it. #
  • Tonight's shockingly easy, ludicrously delicious dinner: pickled beets, field greens, cranberry-cinnamon goat-cheese, fig dressing. #

  • So. I've been playing a cheerleading game for the Wii. It's called We Cheer… And it's the toughest workout yet! No lie. #
  • Best part is the music: equal parts Disney teeny-bop-pop and cheering classics like Push it, the Power, Get Ready For This and Hey Mickey! #
  • It also seems to re-create, in it's entirety, the dance to RHCP's Higher Ground from the cult classic: Centerstage. A+++++++!!! #

  • I'm wearing a new bra!!! This is total awsomeness. Also: La Senza bras are much less crappy then they once were. #
  • I wish people had their own version of catnip #
  • So, I avoided all Olympic sports until now. Ladies curling. And a bottle of red wine. *sigh* #

  • I am at McDonalds corperate offices for a taste test/focus group! This is like a dream come true. #
  • This waiting room smells like a school cafeteria: peanut butter and spoiled milk Not a good sign. #
  • Saltiness and water: promising! Proffesional! http://twitpic.com/155ifr #
  • So we're trying these odd little mini sammies with chicken on teensy bagguettes w/ "ethnic" sauces. #
  • So far: lemongrass tasted like detergent, tandoori was odd but ok, jerk was alright, but why mayo too? And salsa verde was the best yet. #
  • Ugggggghhhhhh… So full of mcdonalds…. Ughhhhhhh… #
  • This is why I don't, and continue to no eat here! #
  • Although I also kinda want a creme brûlée mcFlury. They have those now, apparently. #
  • … and then I had a McFlurry. *sigh* #

  • Had a really good night out @ the Red Room. Too much Creemore though. That stuff is insidious in pitchers. I just kept pouring. #
  • Then I had Creemore fueled nightmares about being at sleepaway camp with a very mean girl Megan Fox. She wore a lot of unpractical shoes. #

  • I had pho the other day, for the first time. From one of the supposed "best" places in the city. You know what? I prefer ramen. #
  • Fresh home made ramen, of course, but nevertheless, ramen. As asian noodle soups go, it's the tops. Better noodles, better broth. #
  • Guys, the first time I heard of pho, was 7 years ago in an indie movie, as a mark of hipster pretension. So I don't think I'm off base. #
  • The movie BTW was Love that Boy, and it is super adorable. If you can find it, you should watch it. One of my faves. #
  • Also, I love vietnamese food (especially all manner of bun) and I would totally go back. They had great spring rolls. Just not for Pho. #
  • God, it's just soup. And my personal preference is for ramen. The end. #
  • There's nothing wrong with liking hipster food. I love cupcakes, sushi, ironic beer, deconstructed comfort food, artisinal burgers. #
  • It pretty much just means it's it's cheap, urban and trendy. That's all. #
  • The only bad association I have with hipsters+food was the gaunt parkdaleians who bought nothing but bottled water & organic field greens. #

  • Just got an offer for some freelance work. Client really likes my style, but wants me to work in someone elses. Greaaaaaat. #
  • Asked me to draw a character dressed like Anne Hathaway in Alice in Wonderland. Then sent me a picture of Mia Wasikowsa instead of Anne. #
  • Also, client seems to be located in Dubai or Goa. Not sure which. Would like to visit, but not sure I want to deal with international law. #

  • What? There was football on yesterday? All I know is that I saw The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnasus and it was good. #
  • I got my new headphones this week. Then I got a radio app that plays in the background on my iPhone, and have been listening to the ceeb. #
  • Listening to the CBC is super nostalgic for me. I still remember waking up at my grandparents house to the Morningside theme. #
  • Also: Q introduced me to the musical stylings of @MeaghanSmith this morning, and that is a very good thing. in reply to MeaghanSmith #

  • So. I read some Hemingway that I liked. #
  • I may have to completely change my whole worldview and outlook on life. #
  • I am a person who enjoys reading Ernest Hemingway. #
  • The book (btw) was A Moveble Feast. I bought my copy @ Shakespeare & Co in Paris. Food, love, Paris, ex-pats, the twenties – lots to love. #
  • Liam just made me one of the best meals I've ever had! Sorry about all that time I spent raggin' on you, Filipino food. You're alright. #
