seeing yourself seeing.

white as snow

woke up as usual one morning, got myself all ready for school, had a quick breakfast snack, then headed out of the door and...the sight that i met with almost blinded me.





And check out that sky! WHEN can we get that back home? WHEN?



And then we'll all look back at our lives; where we've travelled, what we've done with ourselves,

the paths we've chosen;

and we'd think...it wasn't really that bad after all when you put em all together.


To all my homies NOT in Canada: Happy Thanksgiving.

Hoo-ah!

Got out of the house this morning

Walked to school




Boy





Was it cold





Now its almost -5 degrees centigrade










And they say it'll just get better



and better










Wonder how Simon's doing

And so the merry bunch descended upon the Air Canada Center to see the Raptors take on the Jazz. or, shall we say, try to take on the Jazz. Toronto lost 84-99, with a dismal show of ball-throwing skills. (i'll reserve the term 'shooting' for the american teams). The photo says it all. Toronto, and Canada, should probably stick to Hockey.



This next one is for somebody....you know who you are...

Well at the end of it all i headed back home to finish up on the rest of the work due monday and tuesday AND wednesday...to the soft glow of 6pm moonlight.

Alas, this morning found Simon in pretty bad shape. Probably suffering from a severe bout of cabin fever, (which his owner and friend would probably understand with the greatest clarity) i set out to take him out of his plastic home and release him to the great outdoors. This probably worked, seeing that Simon immediately sprung to life and started walking about, surveying the familiar environment that he once inhabited, and will now start to inhabit once more. Seeya Simon, it's been a helluva week.

Destroy your own jeans

Apart of being a really cool trend, the worn in denim look is really sought after and can usually only be achieved by wearing the same pair of jeans for years upon jeans. Instead of waitting for that to happen narturally, companies like Abercrombie began to sell destroyed denim at their premium prices. But fashion designer Tiffe Fermaint wasn't having any of it. So, she found a way to get the same look, for much, much, less. Here's a recipe for destroyed denim.

This is a two step process. The first step is to soften the denim, which makes it easier to distress.
Softening Denim

Materials:
# fabric softener
# denim fabric
# old tennis shoe
# towel
Steps:

1 - Prewash the denim fabric in a washing machine.
2 - Dry the fabric in the dryer with a towel and a tennis shoe.
3- Repeat three times. On the third wash, add an entire bottle of fabric softener. This is called progressive shrinking and softening.

Continue to destroy...
Materials:

# solution - 1 part bleach, 1 part h2o
# coffee - brewed strong
# a brush
# sandpaper
Steps:

1 - Put the jeans on and sit down.
2 - Free hand the solution onto the scrunches at the top and anywhere natural wear would occur, including the seat of the jeans and the knees (I like to add splashes to the bottoms)
3 - Use sand paper to ruff up the knees and hemlines
4 - Cut and tear holes whereever you'd like
5 - Soak overnight in coffee (optional)
6 - Dry on HIGH heat in the dryer

"Pur-Galt-ory"

Or so they called the night when scarecrows, barbie-bats, severed hands and living dolls crept out of their hiding places, and graced us with their presence at Fiddler's Bar in the cyptic town of historic Cambridge Galt...


It wasn't not too hard to spot Donatella Versace, Catwoman, Garlic Girl, Bruce Lee, the MSN(Busy)Sign, and other fabulous folk just mixing and having a good time

They soon were joined by the rest of the ghosts, gangs, and ghoulies...





There was something for everyone, of every race, creed, realm and every...age...


Good ol' Mario even took some time off to join in the festivities. What a blast.

And they sang, chanted and danced around the fire...till it was time to go. Happy Halloween!
