Baby T-shirts? Anyone?

Have you ever seen a baby making bubbles with his mouth? I thought maybe this would make a good t-shirt. Give me a break. It's Thursday :)

Wednesday's Weather Whine

Last night was beautiful, but unfortunately I don't have a habit of carrying my camera (point & shoot type) with me. I spent sometime outdoors before I decided that my frostbitten toes weren't going to carry me home if I don't head indoors asap.

So I just woke up *yawn*. And now I'm afraid to look outside because when it snows the night before, it usually mean one of two things in Vancouver.
1) Slushy roads with bad drivers
2) Rainy roads with bad drivers
I'm trying hard to quell the excitement of which of the choices it will be. It's hard. I don't know how I'm holding up hahaha. I am really a whine when it comes to the day after a light snowfall. I wish it would be more like other cities here where the snow sticks around for a bit so it's not beautiful one day and horrendous the other day.
Oh well, until I can change the weather!

Nothing to Say.

 

 

 

Nothing To Say. 12-2010

This is an charcoal and watercolour I did from a picture of a (much) less grumpy clown. I personally prefer my clowns to be grumpy and down right upset.
Hope your day will be better than his.

Monday's Word of the Day: Borborygmus

Today's word of the day is borborygmus (plural borborygmi).


I figured it was something like a mythical creature of the Boreal forest... somewhat akin to big foot or Sasquatch. Maybe, it would be hairy too. Maybe it would sport a thick coat of purple fur. Maybe its fierce yellow eyes, long pointed nails and sharp teeth would be the story of legend.

Maybe it would be as depicted here:

 ... on a sunny day.

But, alas, borborygmus means nothing more than "a rumbling or gurgling sound caused by the movement of gas in the intestines." 
I know! It's disappointing isn't it? 
If you want to really verify this very disappointing definition for such a gloriously interesting word, you can visit http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/borborygmus/borborygmus. They are a real dictionary, and I have nothing to do with them or their definitions.

Well until next time folks!

Compare it to how you fared!

Good-luck and enjoy!

On the 99 B-Line

Today I was on the Canada B-Line (a crazy fast bus with an over abundance of extremely abrupt stops) and I experienced something truly Canadian.

Now if you're from Canada, it make take a minute to realize the strangeness of this scene. Need more time?
Ok, time's up. Don't you think in any other place, the person who got injured probably wouldn't have said that they were sorry to the first person? Hmmm... interesting. But that's why I love Canada.

Sunny Days

Today I woke up early and after eating a good healthy breakfast, I went straight back to bed. Now it's 11am and I have the whole day to wonder what to do with myself.
I really don't stress over it. I can do so many things (most of which I probably won't do because I'm too lazy). Being unemployed doesn't really bother me like the way it bothers some people. I find the time to draw and sit and relax to be quite comforting.
Of course there's the part of me that's worried and the thoughts keep asking "Why are you wasting your time? How will you make enough money for anything? Where will you be in a year if you don't find a job soon?". To those thoughts I say "Just keep looking but there's no reason not to enjoy this momentary lack of work".
There aren't that many times in someone's life when they don't have to work. So just enjoy it

Rainy & Grey

The rain has been relentless for the past few days so everything outside is grey. Right now I'm suffering a case of extreme weather induced depression. I've been eating more, sleeping more and generally lazying about more. It could be from the fact that I like doing all of the above, but I say it's more socially acceptable to just say it's a case of depression caused by some factor outside my control.

So to cheer everyone up. Here's a picture of something more cheerful that I found.

That's all folks!

Procrastination and Photography

So I procrastinated a bit before I got to this. And what better way to procrastinate then check out some random blogs?

There are some really interesting ones out there and some rather boring ones (maybe like mine). But I noticed that all of them have pictures... where are my pictures?

The best one I've seen today was all pictures and maybe a few paragraphs here and there if it requires description. Maybe if I knew how to work a real camera then I'd do that too, but since I can't I'm afraid my images will just be boring and dull with no specific thought into lighting.

Part of me wants to stop blogging, go take a photography lesson for a year or so, practice my art, and then come back to this. The other part of me wants to say "you've done enough for today, let's just go check facebook, you deserve it"

New Year's Resolutions Abound

Everyone has new year's resolutions these days. What should mine be? A logical one would be to actually follow through with this blog unlike all my previous (unsuccessful) attempts to blog.

Really? How hard can this be? But I've never been able to stick to this... just like going to the gym or making sure I drink 8 glasses of water a day. Am I just not a very consistent person?

I really envy those people who stick to things. Do you think 2011 will be one of those years for me?

Also, if you haven't noticed already. I have no theme, no genre, no preference, no personality! Hopefully this blog will find a topic because as of now, I have nothing worth blogging about...
