I know I do have some marathon runners on my flist, but you don't need to be a runner to find this video absolutely hysterical: Marathon Thoughts. Aka, what goes through the mind whilst covering all those miles... *g*

Also: ( have a rainbow! )

Man, that new header with the black butterflies and the white sky is depressing. Bring back the peacock feathers ( Read more... )

Aw, man. Had I had my choice of dates, I would have arranged for my trip home so that I'd be in Toronto at the end of May, because that's when my 10-year graduation reunion celebrations for U of T are. Unfortunately for me - yay for her, though! - my manager is getting married in June, so needless to say, anytime in May/June was simply not possible ( Read more... )

White walls, utilitarian but for the built-in bookcases lining either side of the smoky brick fireplace - unused, its opening grated - and the African blood gourd and painted face mask hung opposite, the rich brown leather burnished in a way that suggests long hours spent in the sun hugged to a sweating body ( Read more... )

There's a University of Toronto alumni gathering thingie in late October in London - actually, no, it's for alumni of all Canadian universities, interesting. Do I want to try to go??? Hell, I went to a gathering something like this in Halifax not long after I got there, but it was a complete and utter disaster at the time. (Me, not the event itself ( Read more... )

Do those wiser in the ways of Yahoo than I have any idea why it's suddenly showing me how many emails are in the Draft folder? So weird. I know that there's a crapload but I don't need to be overtly reminded when I'm not IN the Draft folder, but my Inbox. *scratches head ( Read more... )

I had the impressions of my teeth made at the dentist today and if I never have to do that again, it will be too soon. Gross. Ugh, the mould goop is by far the grossest stuff I have ever had in my mouth, and that is including the bucket of sand my five-year-old self ate and had to be forced to puke up. *heebie-jeebies* Just, ew. Ew, dude. I can't ( Read more... )

It's strange how much of yourself is seemingly contained in things, and music. So many "Oh, yeah!" moments, or "*cringe* OMG" ones. Heh. Part of why I've never gotten around to doing all this before is that I just don't know what to DO with the stuff that I don't necessarily want to keep, but also don't just want to chuck into the garbage, y'know? ( Read more... )

Got my hair cut today (hence the venturing out into the snow, as I'd already confirmed et al) and as the new phone has a camera function with slightly better resolution than the crappy digital camera I have (and how sad is that, really), I took a picture or two. ( Kinda blurry but oh well. )

Drinking coffee today, from an old Carnaval de Québec mug that's still a favourite. Bonhomme is just a face now, little more than wide eyes and a smile, his signature red toque having lost the battle against dishwasher detergent some time ago. It was a gift: the mug, a wee zipper pull, and a button for my collection that said World's Greatest Mom ( Read more... )
