picnic ?

anyone down? I'm thinking Saturday. it's supposed to be a beaut of a day. We'll bring the cured meats, you bring the lemonade.





we should probably have some type of booze and a ball of some sort too. I vote for red stripe and a soccer ball.

last night i ate a dr oetker (spelling) spinacci (spelling?) pizza all to myself. I love those pizzas. toss a little hot sauce on there and you are pretty much lying on a beach with a solid breeze, having your 3rd pina colada and jogee (or insert crush here) is spritzing you. and to top it all off I had almond bark chocolate ripple ice cream on a sugar cone. also so incredibly delicious. last nights dinner was a winner. I should have taken pics.

I told Hayley to do a post on our garden already. She still hasn't done it. I'd do it, but it's really her baby. I have only eaten from it, not even watered it once, so i probably shouldn't flaunt the shit out of it on my blog. The bounty is way more then I ever expected. Who knew you could have your own farmers market in the middle of toronto in a sea of smog and garbage? well you totally can. It can even have lettuce and brocolli.

I woke up in the middle of the night yesterday and realized I haven't been tracking something at work for like 3 months that needs to be tracked like every week. I had a mild heart attack. but then I came in today and realized it's not as bad as i thought it was. phew!

Our AC is all fecked up again. i had to blow dry my hair in front of a fan this morning to decrease the amount of sweat that was pouring down my face. it sucked huge. I felt like i needed another shower afterwards. worst feeling ever. I would take being cold over really really sweaty hot any day.

People keep talking to me about the bachelorette lately. I gotta say im really disappointed with the chick they chose this year. i can't even watch more then 5 minute's of it. she's such a cry baby and her voice drives me crazy. plus she's incredibly boring. I feel like I'm watching a football team compete for the girl next door (who's actually not adorable at all, and would probably make me spew if i saw her washing her dad's car or something).

There's far too much text in this post i think.

streeeeeeet style.

my friend Just Maintain has been working on a little project lately. He just got back from Taiwan where most of his stuff was taken but he kicked it in the t dot last week and might have taken a photo of you. Check out his flickr for more. here's my cameo...

yes please!

H to the B Sarah!

at the end of the rainbow

gold panties!

next stop

clarkson go station has these neato lock up your bicyclette stations. i was pretty bummed when we got off and i all i had were feet. no bicycle. actually that doesnt sound very good. im happy i have feet, im just not happy i dont have a bicycle to ride and lock underneath that nice little shelter. make sense?


i changed into this skirt on the 5:30 go train. it was packed. i had another skirt on that was hella constricting. i gotta say im pretty good at changing into things without actually getting naked. camp and gm class made me a pro. jeez kids can be so cruel. i forgot the upper portion of my legs hadn't been attended to hairwise since my last wax though. jogee said he couldnt even tell until i said something. but he's so used to my legs by now that even if i had a giant kitchen knife coming out of my thigh he probably wouldn't have noticed either.

Helen's seafood platter

one of the best parts about Port Credit is Helen's Fish and Chips. We used to hit this joint pretty much every weekend in highschool after a rad night out in the park drinking coolers and peach schnapps. Very tasty breakfast and the most delicious deep fried fishies in the west siiiiide. plus its on the water so you can go for a romantic walk afterwards while you hold in the scoots.

vista

mom - you would be proud. i wasn't even a little bit blazed in these pics.

dinosaurs and smores

pretty much the best smore I've had in my life ever. OG graham crackers, none of that no name shite, perfectly melted shmellow and fancy expensive chocolate. if you're gonna roast a smore might as well do it right. right?




dinosaurs just kickin it. damn T rex always has to be the centre of attention.

this is one of those websites i always land on from another website and wonder why i dont have it in my bookmarks.


here

the new outkast kinda sucks. i take that back. not kinda. a lot. it kinda smells like poo ooo oooo

Deliver this through your audio, ghetto mafioso

uh yup that food was pretty awesome. moxies man. suburban party!

grey goose vodka

have you guys been to the grey goose website lately? holy shit it is blowing my mind! im totally madly in love with their ad campaign right now as well. gives me chills!

god i wish i worked on that campaign. Case-dog you NEED to watch this.

caribou and bisons and ravens and chipmunks (squirrels) and very expensive 2-4's

Hi friends! we're home from yellerknife. First I would just like to thank Courtney and Joe. You guys are the best buds ever. I owe you a trip to Toronto filled with dinners and beers and tours and some kind of bug bites, a lot of bug bites. oh and cured meats and dips etc etc.

air canada is pretty dope these days. love these personal screens they're rocking. jogee and I didn't have to argue once about what to watch. it was heavenly.




The Yellowknife airport is just a wee one, so there was some runway walking going on when we arrived and departed. the plane only seated like 12 people too, so it was semi rock star i must say. minus the free booze and drugs and long hair and stuff. lots of scary turbulence though.





the cockpit was open when we got on, so i acted like this was my first time on a plane and asked to take pics. they were pretty sweet about it. almost too sweet, i felt like he wanted me to take a seat on his lap and press some buttons even. definitely not a good idea. would have been a good photo op though.




of course i want brussels griffons now! you dont even need to ask me! canada day shirt kills me. so adorable. we hit up wing night at a pub in town. i had one of those "slippery little suckers" moment and lost a wing mid bite. they were very saucy. Courtney's joe really knows how to party. I had the spins in a pretty big way when we got home that night. drank one too many kokanee's. mmm i love kokanees. i dont know why we dont buy them more often?


cue sight seeing!





they have polar bears on their garbage cans. i don't really get that. i also think the only reason i took that photo was because i was thinking about how stinky our driveway was going to be when we got back. damn garbage strike!





how could you not want to live in one of these house boats? tell me! how!? they look so magical and psychedelic. i bet there's record players and incense and kittens in all of them. and maybe a bread maker and lots of different kinds of slippers to wear. mmm a bread maker. court - remember how you said you were going to buy one in walmart? i cant stop thinking about them. cheese bread!

look at those neat old pictures behind us. classic.



we went looking for bisons, but this is the only one we saw. :(

we did find this gorgeous water hole though in the middle of nowhere, where i took a pee at and complained about not having any toilet paper. my city girl vibe came out right around then. i can't deal with pee in my underwear. not pleasant. joe took pics of me with my pants down but im refraining from posting those. they are a bit too nakes for the internet i think.


that is some THICK BACON.

while jogee was in this store being weird, i was across the street buying some sweet overalls.


ok that's enough for today.

sleeeeeeek

Catch ya on the flipside! we're off on a magical journey to the north!

beachin'

so bitchin!

destroying sand transformers

the blogger video thing for this is shit. this video looks amazing on facebook.

shlong

Jogee said my hair is getting long today. that means its actually getting longer. cause, he sees me everyday, so for him to actually stop and notice and make a comment, that's progress (i found that thought very hard to grammatically compose. i decided to just use a bunch of commas). it's still in it's really hideous, what kind of hair cut are you going for? short but not mid length yet kinda mullety stubby pony tail too many bobby pins stage though. which is worse then i could have ever imagined. but i will endure. maaaaaaaan i hope it's worth it.

crisp

i made Noah take my picture in front of this store so I could remember the name of it. I walk by it every once and awhile and stop and embrace how cool and crisp and clean it looks. I would buy everything in there if I was a lawyer and made tons of duckets. i guess i don't really need to be lawyer, just someone who makes tons of duckets. and on goes my obsession with men's fashion as of late.

jay spectre in disguise

well one of the guys from jay spectre anyways...

actually Jimmy I think you should probably wear this get up for your show on July 4th.

i know we won't be there to witness it because we will be fishing or hiking or drinking brews or being really canadian in the NWT, but you should still do it. costumes at shows are always a guaranteed success.

press!

these guys





are getting some pretty snazzy reviews these days.

heya! itsa mea mario!

my anthem for the summer

Dead Prez performing Summer Time @ Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival '09, Brooklyn, NYC on June 20th, 2009.


better sounding version

mmm the rooftop

saved to the work desktop dump.

ballin in the skokes.

unfathomable.

timeless? classic?

I found this classic photo through my new favorite site today. but someone disagreed with me and basically canned it saying it's 'fancy lad stuff' and that these dudes look like corndogs. i laughed at the corndog part. anywayss , basically argued it was a bad look. and reciprocated with these gems:


fashion offs are the most fun ever. i highly recommend you do it with your friends over work email to make the day whiz by. damn it's lunch already!

album cover maybe?

popped the 2009 sailing cherry

finally hit up the g train and met up with the fam (and my amigo noah) to go sailing. pretty happy that my entire wardrobe of nautical fashion for the summer came in handy. beep bop boop. poor noah, everytime i mission it out to oakville I force him to drive me to wendy's. I friggin love that spicy chicken combo. perfect amount of spice. wind was pretty non existent that day. didn't stop us. we motored it out, caught a few small breezes, checked out the mansions on the water, then kicked it into high gear when the clouds moved in.

carte blanche.

you should probably go to this store . it's full of babes and very very dope gear.

babes



dope gear

mini whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!

hi little package. i wonder whats inside you? maybe tiny little presents? thanks raymi!

i think it's safe to say we worked in our backyard

last minute jams tend to be pretty fecking awesome, cause you're expectations are totally blown out. in a good way. ya know? you plan for a night with like 4 people and then you decide to text everyone else in your phone cause... why not? the more the merrier yeah? and its also extra rad when you're outside all night, so there's way less crap to clean up the next day.

this picture is in the top 3 of the night. jogee just looks so hot in it and kevin is so well dressed all the time i can't get over it.
oh god white tee's in the summer. so goooood.
the fireball made an appearance. i don't even know who's it was. muggs also decided to party it up all night. she's like 87 in dog years, so that's pretty respectable. she's kinda passing out here but i assure you she was keeping it real for a good portion of the night.
when clare walked in with that dress on, i got a little choked up thinking about what she'll look like on her wedding day. it was a moment. freeze frame moment.

erin winn and i may or not have a crush on each other.
BROMANCE! seriously, these guys are like pb and j. loooove it! so cute!


this chick hiding behind the candles owns a magazine - its called 'Darling'. you can stalk her here

aaaaaaand cue the dance party

oh so fuuuunnnny

the boom man. get on that shit. every time we've convinced someone to come with us, they end up getting addicted. and rightfully so. who doesn't want to spend a Thursday night laughing. plain and simple. laughing. just ask kris king . he knows the scene.

darth vader photo shoot fail.

i love levi's.

i do. they always fit me perfectly. and no matter how often i search high and low for sick denim, i always return to levi's. it's a guaranteed good purchase for me. really no point here, just wanted a segway to post these washes that i was feeling on the weekend...

they still fit!

over these duds

we had a private mini clothing swap the other night. it involved maryjane. which in turn involved an ab workout (intense laughing for long portions of time) compliments of krista being on fire all night long. funny chicks with huge tits. how can you go wrong there? really?





and check out this peice of meat that was marinating all day but ended up tasting like shit. $3 steaks man. always a bad call. we never learn.

babe.

from here

balloon boobs

dan was blowing up balloons at his show and i can't be 100% sure who suggested this would be a good idea but man oh man how funny is this? too bad i didn't get any pictures of the banana balloon he gave me to put in my pants. puuuuure comedy.






oh and then there was the beaver. oh maaaaaan tequila shots? white bike frames? a girl that loves politics, a photography nerd that knows how to use my camera? need i say more? (it was missing a little bit of metal and magic the gathering though...)

my dad's sick ride. sooooo siiiiiiick

and i'll probably never drive it ever.

I ate this stuff last week.

The ballet what what

so i took my mumskees to the ballet on friday night. that scene is incredibly posh. some lady asked me who my skirt and bag were. I responded with 'H&M'. she looked appalled. it was classic. our seats were pretty unbelievable. box seats are pretty unbelievable period. i felt like i was in pretty woman for the opera scene.

i'll be proud of you if you watch the whole 10 minutes of that. "if i forget to tell you later, i had a really good time tonight" oh man so cheese, but so good. im stealing that for sure.

anyways we were ballin'

boooooooooooooo

my blackberry was stolen today. i'm proud to say i only sweat and lost my mind and went through my bag over and over for about 20 minutes. (i also left jogee in the theatre by himself for 30 minutes to retrace my steps, make the guys at world of posters feel like thieves, go to future shop to get them to block incoming outgoing calls, and find out that i can get an iphone for free on an upgrade)

meh i only had like 300 phone numbers in there that have been transferred from the same sim card for the past 4 years. no biggie. i dont feel like i lost a portion of my life or anything.

so email me your phone numbers friends, cause i haven't memorized that shit since i was 14 yo!

holy smokes! boobs and skulls!

for you jogee. i don't know where i found it. but it was in the middle of laughing at that chick on hayley's fb and passing out on your chest at 9:30pm. do you love it?!

cheesey eggy breakfast sandwiches

I struggle with this temptation every morning. I have to walk by 2 McDonalds on my way to work and hot damn i want a bacon and egg mcmuffin pretty much 98% of the time. sometimes ham, sometimes even sausage. so delicious. and i would say 95% of the time i don't crack. so that means i eat one like once a month, maaaayyybe. i didn't have one this morning or anything. i made a smoothie with raspberries and bananas and yogurt and milk. meh.





i bet at least 2 people that read this blog are going to eat one of these in the next 24 hours. that doesn't include me.

magazine shmagazine

I kicked it at Chapters on my lunch today. grabbed about 12 magazines (sailing, skateboarding, fashion, jon & kate plus 8 bullshit garbage & music), copped a spot on the ledge and apparently this is what i should embrace:

Nite Jewel - at least 3 of these mags said this band is the shizzle. i don't know. this video is pretty shitty, and the songs on their myspace are meh. however listen to that 'what did he say' song and you might get a semi. i didn't, but you might.

This band too:

Chairlift, they have a like a billion hits on their myspace, and if you listen to this song in the OG version you'll recognize it from that commercial or whatever. but again this video does NOTHING for me. they are besties with yeasayer and mgmt though, so i guess that gives them some cred? i don't know i feel so old.

maybe its cause i generally don't dig female singers. thats probably it.

Then i found this awesome backless t shirt that i wanted bad by ksubi ,


but their website is crap. so dropped that idea.

meh, i decided this magazine post isn't even worth posting anymore so ill just end it at that.

this is nice, balloons are awesome
