and there are twisted days that i take comfort, cause i'm not the only one

we went camping this past weekend.
it almost didn't happen. but last minute things. it just had to.
who are we kidding? summer camping is an absolute must.
i'm so glad we did. camping brings some serious inner joy.
not to mention, the lovely campfire smell that resonates post-trip. favourite.

ps. long weekend coming up. its so intensely needed at the moment.
you guys have no idea. i've been half zombie-ing it this whole week. i'm so ready to sleep in. 

and in the endless sky we are but one

TGIF.
me likey this song.
i feel like it'd be perfect for a soundtrack to a twilight movie.
oops, did i just say that...

guess what i'm doing this weekend?
consuming lotsa smores, corn, and cup ramyun. baby.
camping camping camping!
i'm so ready for the scent of camping to penetrate into everything i bring.
wheee.

move, eat, learn

i saw this via esther l's recommendation. i'm 100% blown away by this.
looooove the lines of symmetry. and obviously, all the shots. i'm so jealous of that guy.
look at all the lovely places they got to see. lucky.

oh yes, watch this and this too. so good.

it's not right but it's now or never

zimele held an event this past weekend, called 'the orange bag'. (orange is our colour).
it was basically a big bazaar highlighting different independent businesses, mostly by women. to raise money for zimele of course.
there was everything from cupcakes, to pottery, to handmade soap, to jewelry, to photography, to yoga. yup, yoga. and more.
i picked me up a couple of things. like, cinnamony gingerbread smelling soap! smells nice.

it was so well organized. so big ups (yes, i just said big ups) to the ladies smallgroup that did that up.
big big ups, i was so impressed!

to offer it to you would be cruel when all i want to do is use, use you

last weekend, a few of us went for a little one-nighter to niagara falls to celebrate khang's birthday.
it was fun. it was messy. it was fast. and it was packed. but it was fun.

ps. i think i need to watch this.

i could bet all of the riches that i ever had

this song is so... sexy.
i've been listening to it non-stop since my friend britt posted it.
non. stop.

ps. guess what? i'm going to the airport in less than 24 hours! well, more like 9 hours.
did you know that i love airports? i really do. i really love airports.

and i'll be holding all the tickets, and you'll be owning all the fines

i meant to post about this, but totally forgot about it.
we went here for lunch ... like awhile (a long while) ago.
it was darn pretty good.
and those fries. yum. cheese please. 

passive me, aggressive you

here are some random photos from the past while.
do you like my nails? perhaps a bit too... pink? which is not really me. at all. but they're fun, i think.

a new ring. a really beautiful peach (that was yummy too). and a cartwheel icecream sandwich from this night.

and oh yes, i went to go see them last night.
they were good, really different live. both good. different, but in a good way.
the lead female singer, alisa xayalith, had some kick ass hair. like, the best hair.

to be honest though, i am still in a daze from this. legitimately.
with the risk of sounding slightly redundant, it must be said: so. good.

and the story's all over you, in the morning i'll call you

went to finally see bon iver last night.

i have been patiently, excitingly, waiting.

and i was legitimately blown away. right out of the water.

it was just amazing. justin vernon. wow. oh, and the band too. wow.

wow wow wow.

ps. excuse my cell phone photo. only thing i had on me.

i was attempting to record skinny love (the encore) on it too, and it then proceeded to die and turn off halfway through. boo.

no disrespect, but thats how i am

we went to the opening day of the taste of danforth.
it was packed to the brim. like to. the. brim. shoulder to shoulder.
but as always, the food was yummy. yum yum.

all in all, you need to learn to let go

some music for ya. happy wednesday.
(short weeks are so wicked).

if you were a star, you'd be the one i'm searching for

we crossed the border for some shopping + cheesecake action.
and this is some of the damage that was done.
i felt the need to share my purchase of bubble tape. and a lipsmackers the size of a glue stick.
you can't really tell in the photo. but yes. for real. glue stick size.
pretty big deal, right?
some serious teeny bopper nostalgia going on.
