I spent the afternoon wandering around The Ex. As always, I had a super time with my boss, looking for free stuff and testing weird machinery. We each had a fingernail pained with flowers and we ate stupid amounts of bad-for-you food. My boss especially loved the belly jiggling belt that makes the claim that […]

Welcome to my world.
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grind, kitty, loveTurdy is still in the pond. While I haven’t seen him with my own eyes, by all accounts, he’s there. I’ve spent the last couple weeks loading up my tumblr account. I got a page the second I heard of it so I have a great url, but until I am 100% comfy with it, […]

Lost Turdy
By Caitlin Jane in kittyAri’s new turtle hasn’t been seen for a couple days; It seems the trip from his tank at the mall with his buddies to here was a bit traumatic. While he might not be terribly intelligent, he is an excellent hider. So good, in fact, that I spent a while this morning pulling plants out […]

Cookin’
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, foodI was inspired today by a post on foodgawker for apple crumble. Or is it crisp? Then I thought, well hey, it’s summer and Ontario peaches are taking over the universe, why not use them? So I went to the store and got a basket of them, some raspberries (non-Ontario, or non-tario) and a bunch […]

It was a weird day in more than one way
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!So, not taking anything away from dead squirrels, but the sky on my way out of the subway today was incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever seen clouds quite like this before.

Aw! Little guy!
By Caitlin Jane in kittyAs always, when I see roadkill, my first reaction is to say “Oh, that’s not a smart place for a nap!” And, as always with roadkill, my other reaction is to shriek and jump to the side. I had my wits about me (and my camera with me) so I took a couple snaps of […]

FML
By Caitlin Jane in clothes, GripingThe lady taking money at the subway yelled at me today. When I approached the booth to buy tokens (five for $11.25) she was having an animated conversation with another TTC employee and it was clear that it was her ranting about something that had happened. So I gave her 2 five dollar bills, a […]

Weddings!
By Caitlin Jane in kitty, we have funI wish I had a picture of the happy couple, but a picture of a child who is happy to go to a wedding (and happier still about getting a brand new pretty dress to wear) will have to do: Clearly practically bursting with glee. Anyway. My old roommate Ryan O’Brian (and college pal, we […]

Dark sky, dark days
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, books and readingIt’s been bloody hot here in Toronto, as everyone seems to be talking about. Then the sky turned black and it rained. Oh, did I say ‘rained’? It fucking bucketed down. It still smells like garbage strike here so any and all rain is embraced by me. Then the rain stopped and blue sky rolled […]
