Daily Off-The-Wagon














She avoided the catnip for almost a week, and then I found her like this. This is probably the feline definition of "total bender".

Daily Activism














We rode in the Bells on Bloor parade today, along with thousands of other bikers, from High Park to Queens Park, ringing our bike bells and asking for bike lanes along Bloor & Danforth.

Daily Pedal-Powered Something


















After the Ride for Africa on the Toronto Islands, there was a pedal-powered concert. All those bikes (there were about 10) are attached to mini-generators, which are supplying power for all the amps and speakers for the band. It was pretty damn cool, let me tell you. On stage: Mr. Something Something.

Daily Breakfast













Homemade Kickass 'Nola + blueberries + almond milk in an
Empty Bowl = best breakfast ever.

Daily Chaos

My subway broke a switch at Woodbine station and shut down the whole line
from Broadview to Vic Park. After we all heard an almighty CLUNK, our subway
operator came on the PA system and said, simply: Oops.

Daily Bright Spot

My favourite part of the trip home is the bridge over the Don Valley. I'm
usually standing on the north side of the car, so my view is mainly tracks
or struts. The south view would be prettier, but then I'd be standing on
the side where the doors are opening, and that's just a hassle.

Notso Daily Tifosi

This was the scene today at Yonge & Eg before the Championship final. They
were singing a song about Wayne Rooney (swoon)

Daily Lift

Our elevators mirror the button layouts on each side of the doors, so I
regularly hit the 6 button by mistake. The irritation expressed by my
fellow passengers when I do this is inversely proportional to the current
time of day.

Daily Stoner

Sister can not keep herself away from the catnip. Then she spends the next
couple hours flaked out like this. Ridiculous. Although I have to admit, I'm a little jealous.

Daily Teacup

It usually just holds water. Like Jason Harley before me, I amaze people
with my apparent coffee consumption, as I bring mug after mug back to my
desk. No one suspects that it might just be water instead.

Daily Garden

This weed patch is my allotment garden. We have so much work to do.
