alive.

iTunes is spinning: the pierces -"tonight"

sooooo. lately it's been a neverending marathon of roswell watching from season one to two. we're awaiting season's three arrival. or more so for bradley to purchase season three so feast my eyes upon it once again. the count is ticking down as i have two days before i leave for italy, i feel like i'm prepared, but in the end am i really? my packing is pretty much complete, i just gotta go through it one last time to make sure i've got everything i feel i'll need, then pack some little here and there-ings and i'm done. today the sisty leaves to go back to vancouver. it's been a wonderful two weeks of tourist seeing and bonding and of course roswell. heh.

it's eleven five nine am: and if anyone wants a postcard from my summer abroad in italy, leave me your address, via email or some other form that'll get to me.

you'll never be able to love me like you love her.

iTunes is spinning: death cab for cutie -"this temporary life"

sooooo as of this moment my sister is speedreading in an almost time warp-like stance in order to finish reading all 500 or more so pages of the latest harry potter books. i admit, i was once a fascinated reader myself with j.k. rowlings first three harry potter books. but after that, i never managed to catch the later of the series. thus my non-enthused energy about this whole book hype. on the other hand, right now i'm in the beginning of reading "easy ways to make a living" it's a fun little book that my sisty recommended. the kind of jenny-intellectual reading i enjoy.

it was pouring dogs today in toronto. literally. enough for me to scoop one up and bring it home. but then i'll get all wet snuggling them so there was no point in that action to be taken. tomorrow seems to be another rainy day in the tdot, as forecasted by the weather network, so i think it's going to be a day of startings to pack for italia. i leave in 6 days. yes folks, mark that on your calendar six days. on friday the 22nd i'll be leaving on a jetplane for rome, where i'll then be boarding a bus to make the trek into sienna where i'll be staying for the duration of 5 weeks. thus far the greenie has been the mastermindplanner behind all our wonderful weekend trips including, milan, rome, florence, paris and venice. we nixed barcelona in favours of paris. i'm excited. every girl needs to go to paris at least once in her lifetime. and this is my time.

it's two one o am: and i am now starting to accept applications in recruition of a snowboarding instructor, preferably of the cute sorts with a goofy grin.

a tale of lost love resurfacing tenfold stronger.

iTunes is spinning: supergrass - "we are young"

so, july's been a whirl and a twirl and it's almost all gones away. i have one week left before i leave for italy and things need to be done, checklists need to be checked. a trip to our neighbouring american neighbours in the city of buffalo provided a boost in the wardrobe of italy and today the sisty and i bonded over some permanant ink. trying to keep this post short and my favourite kind of sweetness, i'll let the eyes wander and take a trip through some earlier july festivites along with my latest visit to the metro toronto zoo. woo!

canada day at unionsville


summertime fun at st. jacobs market


toronto street festival: jeremy fisher

my favourite was the tree kangeroo and his a/c room.

all the snuggling i've been getting lately is from an 8 foot stuffed bear.


tomorrow is a morning trek to casa loma, followed by an afternoon appointment at the dentist and wrapped up with a visit to yorkdale for some evening shopping.

it's eight o four pm: and my tired little feeties are pooped.

when the sun shades over with pain.

iTunes is spinning: bran van 3000 -"drinking in L.A."

it's been a while. an absence of leave needed. in reality, i've pretty much got MIA after my last exam, preoccupied with the leaving of bradley for his big summer eurotrip, to the rents being in town and now the sister staying for a while before i leave for the land of italia near the end of july.

so it's been a while.

it's twelve four three pm: and man jason bourne is the man.
