(i'm giving the copyright to miss GalaDarling ( http://www.galadarling.com/ )... but just for now, the first time.
It's my new happy-maker, that is making me as happy as coffee, cupcakes and love!!

1-Heroes! I'm at episodes 17 of the third season! Sylar is so... magnificiently evil and sexy! oh, and i stumbled on the add they made for the superbowl, i was all giggling!


2- Sleeping late! I woke up at 3pm and didnt feel bad at all! I'm learning to not freak out cause i'm not working all the time. good god it's about time.

3-Giving stuff to good will! since i'm out of school and working as a costume designer, i have had the bad habit of keeping every piece of costume, but litterally everything. Last week, while i was in dc, the pole in the costume wardrobe broke. I found it this morning, so i decided to repair it and go through all the stuff and sort it out. I ended with 2 huges black plastic bags full of worthless stuff. I threw away some dross stuff and kept only what was or vintage, or linked to a good memory. I felt so... liberated. I know i still have couples of bags in my own wardrobe, i'll wait when i'll feel a new urge to do it.

4-My car! I know, i know, i have a car that is totally awful for the environment, but god it's making my life so easier! I can get my work done in half the time it was taking me before, or do things like... giving 2 bigs bags of clothing to good will! And (most of the time...) it makes me smile when people make jokes about the fact that i'm a small girl with a biiiig car! (ok ok, having my license plate stolen last week didnt really made me happy but i have to roll with it!)


5-Coffee! My expresso machine is still working super well, and coffee is even better that at the Brûlerie. it rocks! (maybe it's what's keeping me awake so late tho, hehe)


6- How my portfolio is about to be finished soon! I scanned some drawings and put them together, i'll print some other things tomorrow and i'll be ready for my interview monday at Dufour!

7-Compliments. It's always so nice to hear a random compliment. Someone told me today: 'hello, we're searching for good designer and your name keeps popping up.' It made me smile for the rest of the day.

8-Unexpected phonecalls. I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with P, it was nice to have some news!

9-Car wash! It was my first experience as an adult, it was so fun! Its one of my 1st childhood memory, and it scared the shit outta me at that time! Although the car is not reaaaally clean. I'll handwash it soon when spring will (finally) arrives.

10-Breakfast Club! I'll be on my way in 1 hour! I'll probably still eat the same thing and drink enormous amount of coffee.

11-ILOVEBADTHINGS. like a badass notcot. i love it!

12- This Metamorphose dress. I'm totally in love with it but cant really afford the 175$ the girl want for it. sad sad possum


That's it for the things i love thursday!
love!

Dammit, i really want to be blond right now, but it's gonna be a pain in the ass to always redo my color.

Tomorrow was an awesome day. Got big amount of work done, realized alot of thing and got 2 new rules.
1-It's ok to fear things, just don't let your fear cripples you.
1-It's ok to complain, just don't act like if you are helpless about your problems.
Some events last night made me think alot about my life and how i act or react. I'm following a great path of making myself a better person and i'm really proud of it.  I love life. Optimism and actions are the key.

I hope the big wound on my knee will be almost gone for Florida. I'll also start tanning next week, then waxing, pedicure and manicure just before i fly for DC on the 19th. Too bad i couldnt buy my plane ticket tonite (money, oh sweet money), but i'll do that tomorrow after midnight. Lets just hope it's still gonna be cheap. yay! i can't wait to jump in George's arm at the airport, i always feel so much like in a movie when i do that. :) I got this awesome swimsuit, cant wait to rock it on the beach. Found sandals too, will buy them friday


Tomorrow is Breakfast Club at 7. Then i will go uptown to give back the movie (the Special Features dvd that i forgot home when i took back all the other ones), then go pick up a tuxedo for 5Girls. Depending on how much money i have left in my account, i might go to Ste-Foy to pick up a new costume rack. If not, i'll just come back home, take care of the ginormous amount of stuff (read here : costumes and props) that is in the corner of the appartement, while doing laundry. Restroom need to be done and floor need to be cleaned. Oh, and Baltazar at 5, and then Heroes! I'm (luckily) off the gym tomorrow.

Food talk! I'll cook a Turkish stew, got some veggies and spices and (sorry for the vegans on my list... I'm a sinner now, as most of you know) fresh beef cubes.

So i'm finally back! Computer showed up today after one week of hide and seek.
So tonite will be a relax night at home... I even skipped the gym tonite. I feel bad about it as it's the 3rd time this week (1 for sickness, 1 for hangover), but oh well. It will still be 4 days out of 7, not that bad.

This week made me realize how of a computer addict i am. But i also accomplished a lot.
Yesterday we had our first real snow. Winter is really here now. With winter also comes... lack of light. I can't believe i took the next pictures in the middle of the day.

This is what is, during summer, a lovely path in my neighborhood.


Also i noticed Beenox's new building is actually starting to really look like a building. I was in Europe when they started constructions.
I love buildings in progress!

Today was a kind of random day tho. It transformed my appartement in a total mess, there's lot of plastic, bubblewrap and cardboard all over the place.
I went to do shopping for the Kids show, stepped in the slush (see the following picture) and tried to run as quick as possible in between all downtown thrift store before 5Womens reading at 1pm. Then more shopping, and a costume fitting for Kids in the suburbs.
Ah lovely slushy, i'm glad i'm wearing platforms no matter what season.

And i'm really really tired, for no other apparent reasons that bad sleep and 12 hours of job. I'm really tired and i dont think i'll get anything done tonite other than emails, class prep for tomorrow morning, and a list of what's missing for my contract that i need to get at the store tomorrow afternoon. Basically, i need to prepare my bag for tomorrow and figure something out for a lunch. Which means i should probably kick my ass and cook. Looooooooooots of soup left (made a lentils and tomato soup yesterday, but for some reason it turned out to made a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge batch. Seriously, i even had to freeze half of it cause there's no way that i can eat all of that before it turn bad.  Thinking of cooking kind of tacos filling thing. I'll see how i feel after writing this post and showering.  I'll also probably start ripping music, i dont have any on this computer and my i'm gonna be fucked with my iPod soon...

Tomorrow will be super busy. I'll be teaching, then bus to the suburb's shopping center and thrift store with Elyane, my assistant.
Then putting order in my production's budget and my production book ( i should actually do that tonite, but i'm so tiiiiiired. maybe i'm just lazy.
maybe i'm insane. maybe i dont really exist). I should also probably start dying clothes for Kids.

Seriously, i need to put the plastic in the windows and turn on the small room heater George gave me last year. It's freezing here.
But good thing about the cold is... i can pimp my Fred's hand heater again! yay!

off to shower. Then work. Then Dexter if i'm a good girl, then probably time with my lovely Purevil when he get back from the club.
later!

This enameled metal lapel pin features Mark Ryden's "Rose" from his exhibition, "Blood: Miniature Paintings of Sorrow and Fear." The back is custom stamped with Mark's logo and has a butterfly clutch attachment. The pin comes in a black velvet pouch and special Porterhouse box with a certificate of authenticity.

I love Mark Ryden. I love jewelry.  but this is way...  too sold out :(

took me forever to go to sleep last night... well this morning actually, i guess i fell asleep around 6 am... and slept through my alarm until 2pm, then ran like a headless chicken to the school library to get my research done before they close (i still dont really understand why they are closing at 4:30).

Then Vectorworks at school was fucked, something about the serial number was wrong, so anyway, it didnt let me log in. As a big girl, i manage  to get my plan printed to the right dimensions, but i'm gonna have to do the drafting by hands instead than using Vectorworks.
Ah, the sadness of being a technology slave.

I also didnt get to do the Kids drawings, which needs to get done asap. I guess i could do them right now, but for some obscure reason i'm drained. Yes i went to the gym (3126 strides, 217 calories, yay!) earlier, but i shouldnt be that tired after all the sleep i got this morning. Maybe i can do the drawings tonite and do the watercolor tomorrow.  oh sweet procrastination, i'll beat you just after this post (hahaha.)  i guess i can just set the download for Dexter, draw until it's loaded, watch it then go to sleep. That's sound great actually.

On the bright side, i'll go buy the dresses for 5 Womens tomorrow after  Baltazar. M-H is driving me there, should be short and easy. And they are 70$ instead of 139$ (oh, thank you procrastination).


On the shopping planet, this is what caught my attention tonite:

awesome print on a little something that george picked for me at Johnny Cupcake in Boston!
God i love this shop!
I want EVERYTHING!
