Excuses as to why my blog is late:

• The dog ate it
• MJ’s passing leaves me affix-iated to the TV
• The Black Berry Photolog post, while a hot idea, didn’t quite come out the way I envisioned
• I am going to a cottage this weekend…my first cottage experience
• A friend passed on soca cd’s and I am busy driving around Toronto, jumping around in my car, singing, “Jouvert, Jouvert….I gotta go” while people on the road give me dirty looks
• I spent Monday night dancing on the bar of La Vecchia at 3 am, and had to go to work in the morning. It fuged the rest of my week, but it was oh so fun.
• Work has been crazy, busy, way too much going on, and with summer on, I have to fit all of it in on my ‘executive summer’ hours ;)
• Its been 32 degrees all week in Toronto, which means, numerous walks, outings to our poor excuses for a beach, BBQ’s and general wasting time in the sun….in the battle of blog vs. summer nights in Toronto, well, the fight seems very unfair
• Oh yes the dog ate it…
  
  
  Ill be back….I think.

Here’s a Plug

I got a great blog coming in.

I just have to Locate my Black Berry Connector wire thingy (how I described it to the guy a Best Buy)

And then, boy oh boy do I have a blog for you,

Random Thoughts on a Wednesday afternoon

A friend visited from Dubai this weekend. We met later on in life, but since then he got married, had two kids, and is now running the family business. I….well we all know the state of evolution that is my life. Our friendship is based on an uncanny understanding we have between us. This could be because we both share the same birthday or some other karmic force, but often times when he’s around we can both look at the exact same situation and have a laugh for the exact same reason, pretty cool stuff.

I took yesterday off and we played tourists. It was fun walking around the city mid week, showing off what I love about it the best.

La Vecchia is my new favorite restaurant. Their Rigotoni Romani is heaven, if you’re in my beautiful the city do try it out.

Complacency is a hard think to shake. I know I need to find a new role yet I come to work day after day and don’t do anything about it.

I’m reading eat, pray, love, and I am in Italy enjoying the authors love of food and pleasure. I hear the book gets quite boring in India, but for now it’s a joy. I would also like to put it out into the universe that I too am capable of writing a book about finding oneself in various countries if I am given a budget and told to go nuts.

I discovered through my wonderful techy friends that you can now use google maps to stroll through the street of various cities in Europe and the US. Its wonderful stuff, just now over a soothing cup of tea, I wandered around Vatican City for a five minutes. Plus they have some brilliant algorithms that automatically blurr out people’s faces or advertising…how cool is that?? Where do these brilliant people meet and come up with these ideas? I need to find them.

I am addicted to Chuck Lorre’s vanity cards.

I am also addicted to reruns of the Big Bang Theory. I am even beginning to like friends who don’t love it as much as me, just a little bit less.

Summer is here and posting is few and far between……..so my apologies in advance…

She sits across from me, exhausted, depleted, undone. It is seven am and she is dressed in a tailored blue suit, her hair a beautiful shade of black, translucent pearls adorns her fragile neck. Something about her exhaustion attracts me. My eyes follow her.

She gets off at Queen, and walks mechanically up the stairs. The station is engulfed with the morning crowds, rushing through, trying to get to their busy lives. She walks as if in a dream, unaware of the rush, slowly, mechanically, one foot and then another, as if to say that the mere act of walking was her valiant attempt at surviving.
