crazy, cold and delightful

this is me seconds after jumping into english bay with my friend Jenn on January 3. Jenn is attempting to try something new everyday for the next year and has a blog www.365daysoffirsts.blogspot.com check it out in my must reads.

When she asked if anyone wanted to go with her, i definitely hesitated... it's january! it's like 6 degrees out! the water is only 40! but i've always wanted to do a real polar bear swim, and you know what? it was awesome! it was a natural high, sheer adrenalin rush. We then went straight to starbucks where we enjoyed Baileys in our drinks and my friends Tiff and Ali were along for moral support.

I hope this dictates what my year will bring. January is always so uplifting to the December blahs and the climax and craziness of christmas... three cheers to the start of 2010!

The new year is here - 2010

Here we go again, another year down, another year of exciting possibilities and resolutions. Last year i made an epic list of resolutions and reflecting on it now i realized how hard it truly is to maintain changes. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
For christmas i gave myself a very fancy gift. I bought myself a Canon 5D mkII. So far so good! Photoblog might continue to be possible although i've yet to upload any photos i've taken with it... for now here she is

Once Upon a Cold December...

snow snow snow. here she be. The good news is it took till December 14th for any kinda freakish weather to happen (west coast freakish... toronto is already under attack by mother nature. suckas! ). In 4 more days i'll be on a plane to the center of the universe for some delightful family dinner, then whisked off to Mexico for some sunshine, margaritas and bikinis. yay christmas.

This has been a sad year for the blog. But a happy year for my bank account. I credit my lack of blogging to the fact that i've been employed full time by the americans since March. America, fuck yeah.

I've updated the "look" of this site, although nothing drastic, mostly just colors. if i could come up with a better reason for this page to exist i might be able to make it a bit more specific to something, but instead, it continues to be random.

that is all.

movember

well holy snap it's november. Daylight savings has happily pushed more light into the am wakeup, but does little to keep me motivated past 4pm. And these days that's right around when my day of activities begins on FRINGE. my past two weeks cheques has reflected the epic hours we are putting in, the gov't has begun to take more then HALF of my money. MORE THEN HALF!

Here's a picture of my pumpkin i carved at work for halloween.

holy october batman

well....
it seems as this year fell apart in the world of "katie the golbber"... it's october and i'm hitting the brink of change/same 'ol same 'ol. it's a bizarre and awkward place to be. I spent the best part of thanksgiving with my friends and lovers. we surfed, we ate turkey diner (at 10pm! yeah, turkey takes fo' ever!) and we had a murder mystery of mayhem. jen and matt are semi engaged. tiff and christian are a duo of lovers... ali is happily/bitterly single and I am ... i am me.
i got an apartment... moving on from the "little vernon" housing i've engaged with for the past 8 months. i'm sad to leave it, and scared of "on my own' living...

guess what, its wayyyy past my bedtime. ;(


i promise to make a real comback... complete with pictures. ;p

whooo

the grand finale.

let there be light...

bwah.
do you ever get the feeling like the world is out to get you? i can't believe how accurate my horoscopes have been this week. Yesterday it said I am very likely to forget something so double check everything... and low and behold i still forgot the address (dispite bringing the directions!) to the house in Oakville.
Then today my horoscope tells me that someone might be trying to cheat me so use my smarts and pay attention... and thus this afternoon begins the epic drama over trying to get the footage I shot on the series i worked on or 4 months last year... unbelievable.

i'm feeling overwhelmed with trying to remain calm and optimistic, and at the same time being very bothered by what might be to come...


anywho, here's a few examples of the glass art in oakville.
