How to spend NYE?

The most over-hyped night of the year is almost upon us; and as usual we are left wondering what to do. Paying an outrageous cover for the privelege of buying over-priced drinks being “served” by snooty bartenders does not appeal to us. Dressing up to hang out with a bunch of strangers, after spending a [...]

A Pony for Christmas

Christmas came a bit early to 185 Legion Road.  And I got a pony!  Not one to ride, but one delightful pony hair squares on my new Coach bag!!!!! 
My sweetie surprised me with it last night, and I love it!  I’ve stroke every patch of pink suede and distressed leather, but my favourite is the pony [...]

It’s A Festivus Miracle…

Actually it’s not a miracle at all, I just wanted to type Festivus in an attempt to draw more visitors to our site.
The real story is that I gave Leah one of her Christmas presents early. I won’t say what it was, I’ll leave that for Leah.
I will give you a clue:

This is not what I’m getting Leah…

although it is pretty creative.
NOT SAFE FOR WORK – depending on where you work.

It might be magnetic. And it might be machine washable.

Leah loves Christmas. She hates the wait.
I’ve been dropping little hints about what I got her for the last couple of weeks and I think she’s reached the breaking point!
Here’s a rundown of the clues I given her so far:

It might be magnetic. But I’m not sure. The sales rep mentioned it’s magnetic properties, but [...]

Sunset Boulevard? Back on the Big Screen?

A musical based on a 1950’s film, now becoming a movie?  If the rumors are true, then Glenn Close will reprise the role of Norma Desmond in the film Sunset Boulevard, based on the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical of the same name.  Though, as of October 2006, Sunset Boulevard has not started production.
Not sure if I’m [...]

10 Years Ago Today…

was the “18 Hour Party” at Club Rez in Pitman Hall; It’s hard to believe that it’s been that long. The “18 Hour Party” was held to celebrate the successful completion of our first semester of university. All of our friends were invited over to Club Rez (that’s what our unit was affectionately called) for [...]

Unfinished business…

We accomplished a lot this weeked but still have more to do. The paint in the bedroom dried down to a really nice colour, and it really makes the room look great. I’m hoping to get home early today and paint the final bedroom wall; if I do, I’ll post some pics, or maybe a [...]

The Bathroom is Blue.

Really. It is. We finished painting it today, and although the colour is quite a shock compared to the builders white, I think it’s going to work!
We painted three of the four walls in the bedroom – I did the rolling, Leah did the details – but it still took way longer than we thought [...]

How To Paint A Room

Normally when I make a reference using this line, it’s a reference to The Tragically Hip and the song “Thugs” which features the line “I’ll do the rolling, you do the details”. Today, however, it refers to what Leah and I are doing – painting our condo. We started with the bathroom – from builders [...]
