Today on the way home from work, I was reading Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice when I caught a glimpse of an extraordinary piece of artwork. The guy sitting across from me was drawing the guy sleeping next to me in his sketchbook with a pen and it looked amazing. I will admit I stared. … Continue reading I’m a Model
Autumn in Calgary
Today I had to break out the coat which in Winchester was my winter coat but here in Calgary is just an early autumn coat. School is starting for everyone again and in the morning I pass three other post-secondary institutions on the train before I get to mine. The summer as we know it … Continue reading Autumn in Calgary
My Summer in Pictures
Okay, so I know this is a lazy post, but at least it's a post. Right? If you click on a pic you can go through a slideshow of them.
Styling a Bookshelf
This is long overdue. It took so long, in fact, that yet another piece for my room arrived today and I considered waiting a bit longer until it was installed to do an entire room reveal. I decided not to. So let's get to it. Ta-daa! Here we have my new (as of weeks ago) … Continue reading Styling a Bookshelf
A Day in Banff
After sitting around doing nothing but work or school all summer, today my dad, brother, dog, and I finally decided to get out of here, just for the day. And if you live in Calgary, there are only a few places that fall under "just for the day". 70% of the time we end up … Continue reading A Day in Banff
School and Sleep
Okay, okay. I've got some explaining to do. It's actually really simple. I couldn't upload my pictures for some reason or another. And how can I write a post about my new shelves without even showing you my new shelves? Anyhow, I figured I had to write something while I figured out my picture problem. So … Continue reading School and Sleep
I’m back!
Oops. Ten days since my last post. My apologies. I kept meaning to post, but I've been busy. Many things have changed. My chair has arrived and as promised, I'll show you both that and my bookshelf...tomorrow. Today, I'll only update you on what's been going on. The biggest thing to happen in the past … Continue reading I’m back!
A Saturday
Yesterday morning I went to an orientation at the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers and saw what they had to offer. I think I might join, but I'll have to wait until I have more money. I have other things higher on my list anyway, like SAIT classes, or some lessons or a gym membership … Continue reading A Saturday
Stories and Stuff
The Calgary Stampede kicked off this morning with the annual parade, and while I didn't officially go, I did have to cross the crowds, and closed-off, horse-poop-laden streets to get to work this morning. If you follow me on Snapchat you probably got to see it. I worked all day and forgot to pack a … Continue reading Stories and Stuff
Improvements
Sometimes it's good to get everything out. I looked at my rant and used it as a to-do list, improving everything I could in a day. Yesterday I ordered a chair online, cleaned my room, took my dog for a walk, fixed the slowness on my laptop, and signed up for stuff that'll get me out of the … Continue reading Improvements
