my mind is a firestorm

Your Brain's Pattern

Your mind is a firestorm - full of intensity and drama. Your thoughts may seem scattered to you most of the time... But they often seem strong and passionate to those around you. You are a natural influencer. The thoughts you share are very powerful and persuading.

What Pattern Is Your Brain?

I firestormed the shit out of that critical theory final. Now I will have a smoke and a pancake. Then i will sleep for 12 hours.

have you ever...

have you ever been sitting in a packed theatre, and had the sudden urge to take a shit. like immediately?

no?

well then, what about subsequently getting your period at the mid point of a play that has no intermission?

no again?

You Are a Red Velvet Cake

Rich, decadent, and sensual. You have a deep appeal that transcends all trends. You are the definition of passion: intense, adventurous, and seductive.

What Kind of Cake Are You?

my husband is an rc geek. sort of.

this is his new favourite toy: the WowWee Flytech Dragonfly


this is what they sound like:

i rode my bike today and it was windy, a bitter, bitter wind. my advice to anyone contemplating riding into the wind from west parkdale to cabbagetown on a bike with no gears, post-therapeutic massage and starving cause it was 2 o'clock and you hadn't eaten yet. don't bother.

i had to pull over a couple of times cause my hamstrings and calves felt all explody. i was hoping to make it home to have some tomato soup with grated cheddar cheese and toast but by the time i got to college and grace i felt like i was going to pass out. so i stopped at bar burrito and ate a 8" chipotle steak burrito, then rode home. the burrito was pretty good but i kinda wished i had gone to utopia across the street. oh well.

in other news, i have 2 projects to go before my critical theory final on the 25th. i'm currently working on:

• a new painting for colour and composition class
  
• a 3D model, something architectural, for art and design in the social sphere class.
  

i'm also working on getting shots of all my drawing and printmaking work so that i can post more for your viewing pleasure.
