My new blog
I have started a new blog, it’s more of a visual/aesthetic experience than this writing blog. Has some photos and some drawings and some old song quotes and things. I’m very excited to be doing two blogs now. I know it’s a lot to ask that you follow two blogs of mine, and I shan’t [...]
Health Tips
I was hanging out in one of my “fave cafes” with Bj recently while he was working. The cafe is called Tequila Bookworm and it’s full of books. The most interesting one I found to read was by a Canadian sex educator talking about her experiences in schools and pre-schools. It was very entertaining.
Then [...]Sydney / Toronto: My experience

In preparation for our trip (which has been continually delayed due to Bj’s workload, but we now have a deadline to leave by August 1st because there is a young French man subletting from then and he has already paid a months rent) I have been downloading a whole slew of podcasts and audiobooks to [...]

The only places you can buy alcohol are The Beer Store, The LCBO and The Wine Rack. All of them are owned and run by the govt. of Ontario.
This, in ways, [...]Jus be good to me
Today I’m going to blog about a song. The song in question is “Just be good to me” by The S.O.S. band, famously covered in the early 90’s by Beats International as “Dub be good to me”. I prefer the Beats International version which I have featured here.
Anyway I love this song because it’s [...]Timber Timbre
On Friday we are going to see a musician who goes by the name of Timber Timbre. He is from Toronto. I am very excited because I am so deeply enamoured with his songs. He’s playing at a church in downtown toronto, a gay-friendly church called The Church of the Redeemer, as seen here.

two short stories about my day
Today I babysat one of Georgia’s friends, another two year old. He has terrible separation anxiety, his mum was gone for 3 hours and he cried the entire time. He lay in his bed crying into his pillow for 3 hours. I kept trying to coax him out with the likes of Sesame Street, popcorn, [...]
