<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy --> :: Saturday, April 16, 2005 :: Ohmygosh I have a beautiful new cool apartment! Mom and I painted all day today, thanks to paint from Tree and our good friends at Behr. We painted two walls of my living room Ryegrass green and my bedroom is now mostly >Cream Silk with one wall of Ryegrass. It looks so great, I can't STAND it! It's the first time I've ever painted a place, so it's very exciting! I had almost forgotten what the place looked like. The kitchen is all new with new appliances, and even though it's the smallest kitchen I've ever had, it's got lots of cupboard space. And the bathromm is blinding with fresh white. The hardwood floors gleam, the huge windows face north and the walk-in closet is a dream! I'm just ecstatic and can't wait to move in all of my things! I suppose I should start with actually packing and hiring a mover. Right. Anyone feel like moving me tomorrow? :: Cathy 8:27 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Friday, April 15, 2005 :: The tickets of the century are now on sale! You can see/hear me (and the rest of the Oakham House Choir of Ryerson) perform Mendelssohn's Elijah on Saturday, May 7th at 7:30pm at the Bloor St. United Church. Let me know if you want to buy tickets from me ($18 in advance, $22 at the door). (Yes, of course you'll know which voice is mine!) :: Cathy 5:01 PM [+] :: 1 comments :: Thursday, April 14, 2005 :: With spring comes the horror: bikes on the sidewalk. Today, I thought I was going to lose it! A minimum of 5 bikes passed me on the bridge alone! The bridge is not very long, but it does span the valley between a huge residential area and two schools. One MOPED even HONKED at me to make me get out of the way! You KNOW I wasn't happy about that. If I weren't so deathly certain that I was to die in a motor-vehicle accident, I might have actually just laughed in his face as he tried to mow me down. Doesn't anyone teach these kids that they're NOT supposed to be on the sidewalk? Sidewalks are for pedestrians. Otherwise they'd call them siderides or bike paths. I think I'm going to start handing out tickets for $90 in a form of citizen's arrest. Or just start screaming "It's called a sideWALK, asshole!" And the next time that moped tries to beep me, I'm cutting him off with a clothesline to the neck. Take that. :: Cathy 4:27 PM [+] :: 1 comments :: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 :: I went to the magazine launch party for The Ryerson Review of Journalism. Anita had done a shoot for them. It was interesting to see some old profs and students. The we went to see the Free Press at the Horseshoe. They had a great set. I was really proud of them. :: Cathy 9:52 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 :: I finished reading my vacation book today: The Life of Pi. Yes, if you're from Canada, you've probably already read it and recommended it to me. And, yes, it was good. No, I didn't think the first 100 pages were a bore. I really liked it, but I think it was a bit overrated. And I think there were parts that I didn't really understand. But it was still good. And I'm very proud of myself for finally reading it. I've had the damn book since last summer! Next book on the agenda? Not sure; maybe I should first finish one of the three I've been trying to get through for the past year? The Dance was promising, but it's hard cover and the kind of thing you want to read when you're in the bath or really need to get over a hump in your life... Come to think of it, this might be the PERFECT book. I don't know WHAT is wrong with me. I'm having emotional out-bursts. Crying spontaneously. Hating everything (except my recent vacation and maybe my dinner mentioned below, although I'm starting to hate the feeling of that in my stomach right now too). I feel restless. Or maybe it's hormones? Perhaps my neurotransmitters are just freaking out? It's totally time for a change. Thank GOD I'm moving soon! I get possession of my place this weekend and I'm going to paint! Then I'll be packing for the next two weeks, as a rational, calm human being does when they're moving. I certainly WILL NOT be the panic-stricken freak that I've known in the past. Nope, I'm a new woman. Alex is the moving master. It's a good thing he likes me, or we might all die in this move. Thankfully, I have a year lease at the new place and I won't have to write about moving for a full year! How exciting for you! (Scary for me - means I have to stay PUT for a year.) And thankfully, spring is actually unpacking here in Toronto. That's always a good change for me. I'm an unabashed sun-worshipper and I've been wearing my spring jacket, walking home with my face soaking in the sunset. Just what the doctor ordered. :: Cathy 5:53 PM [+] :: 3 comments Dear Kendra, I am currently eating potatoes cooked in bacon grease, covered in bacon and fried onions, slathered in sour cream. Oh my gosh, I think my heart is hurting me just writing that. Yes, I knew you'd be proud of me. :: Cathy 5:34 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Monday, April 11, 2005 :: Back in Ontario. Oh, I hear those mountains calling me. It was tough to leave. It was even worse trying to get up this morning after my plane arrived late and I fell into bed even later. I keep dreaming of skiing. It was so gorgeous out there. 5 days of skiing: Sunshine, Kicking Horse, Lake Louise. 1 day of hiking 2 days of shopping I think I need to live there. :: Cathy 11:54 AM [+] :: 3 comments
