woodland dreams

if anyone would like to buy me a present anytime soon, i think i'd like something from this website please.

farm or woodland section. not interested in the trees or caves though.

i mean, just look at these!

summer reading

i'd like to read a tonne of books this summer. i'm trying.

i just finished this one...and it was the best of the three or so books i have read since school ended.
it's one of those books that i love so so so much that i'd really rather not share it but keep it locked away just as a secret for me to know about and yet it is just too delightful to do such a thing.

so, i invite you all to read The Principles of Uncertainty by Maira Kalman.

This is the kind of book i aspire to create someday.

and this is one of my favourite pages...but there are so many...



anybody else have some really good, inspiring books to recommend?

the best way to spend summer solstice?

...contra dancing under the moon, with a group of Quebecois seniors, on the top of Mont Royal.

life's nice.

my first, messy foray into Diana-land.

The Aardvark Manifesto

I can subscribe to this. I guess I already do.

short lessons in love

I love: summer in montreal
I sit: on my balcony, in every park, on harbour docks
I drink: hendricks gin with blackberries and strawberries
I eat: mangoes. peel off the skin and take a bite. share.
I read: all the books and drawn and quarterly, and then I buy just one
I bike: everywhere. new basket, broken fender, broken bell. I make noise, I'm not sly.
I listen to: Tallest Man, Daniel, Fred & Julie, Andrew Bird, Wilco, BSS, Hoof and the Heel
I dance: in the streets, in the parks after midnight
I steal: lilacs and cherry blossoms

i guess marc johns says it best.

gah.
