It's Vegas, baby.


It does look better on its original owner (awesome retired paramedic, with military bearing and a wax-tipped mustache) but it looks cool on me too.

tree's up!


We're wrapping gifts tonight. I'm suddenly anxious about all of the choices and will likely be at the Eaton's centre tomorrow, wildly second-guessing and re-purchasing.

Getting ready for school this morning...the contents of the mitten drawer were a serious disappointment.

Ok ewwwww


I've discovered this horrible spider in my cupboard and am working up the nerve to go back in and kill it. It is the size of a dime, or a pizza...I think it's the size of a pizza. If there aren't anymore posts, it's because I've been bitten and succumbed to the neurotoxins. It's the horrible big juicy butt on the thing that bothers me.

Who needs leaves? We got birds. Corner of Yonge and Helendale, looking north and up at about 60°.

Below: Excellent wipeout.


Both spins were more than two rotations. Awesome.

Lighting scheme


It's red today, for remembrance day. It is red and green for xmas. I don't see it every day...but every day I do see this tower, it is lit in a way that I suspect is a civic inside joke.

We're watching tv


I've got a sick kid asleep in my lap, and I can't move...so, since I'm here anyway, this is a drawing of my livingroom.

Vampire science


They're growing up. I remember being solemnly told one Halloween that "a vampire was someone who drank out of the toilet."

Sometimes a picture is worth significantly fewer than a thousand words. *shrug*

Night subway stop


Empty station, theatrical lighting, excellent acoustics...hard not to sing. Tonight's selection: Begin the Beguine.

Little tricycle dude


9:01 am: This three-year-old tried so hard to keep up with his mom today, She was late and ran into the school with her older child. This scene is so Wyeth (y'know, "Christina's world")

Scary walk home


This is the scariest part of my trip home from work...this is 10pm  tonight,  had to darken a bit in photoshop because my marker went dry. Time to buy a new one.
