DRUMMING FINGERTIPS
I’m sitting here at my desk, drumming my unmanicured fingertips (yikes!) on my desktop and coming up completely dry with something to blog about. I’d like to think that the rain would somehow inspire me since I love the rain so much, but brace yourselves…you may very well get to the end of this post and be filled with such anger at me for completely wasting five minutes of your life.
Last night I got my hair cut. I decided to buck out all the layers and go blunt in an effort to grow my hair to mermaid proportions. The bangs need to catch up though.
Why the webcam photos lately, you ask? I’ve lost my camera. Maybe it was stolen - I have no idea. I had it last time I was home on the Island and now it’s magically disappeared. I’m not really so terribly upset because it was a total piece. Also, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Santa will put a new Canon under the tree for me this year. If not, I’ll dry my tears and buy one anyways.

Lately I’ve really been discovering my roots…er, rather Roots, that is. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had a strong dislike for the blandness that’s been produced by that store. It was far too Canadiana after they sponsored the Canadian Olympic team, but over the last few weeks, I’ve been exposed to how fantastic it’s become. True outdoorsy clothes, super cute and uber soft sweaters, leg warmers (!!), girlie toques, cuddly scarves, sweet waffle weaves, furry collars and everything else that is actually just so very me in terms of style.
Another reason to love the beaver? Live Green. Not only are they offering fabrics made out of eco-friendly bamboo, but Roots is spreading the anti-global warming message through a series of t-shirts to support Environmental Defence Canada. If that’s not enough, a new initiative in greener shipping options is putting forth an effort to tackle climate change. To learn more about how Roots is working with ZeroFootprint, click here.

The plan for tonight was to visit Fright Nights at the PNE. With the rain and cold, kicking frightening bad dudes in the shin was the last thing I felt like doing. I contemplated joining Becky, John and Duane at Fogg ‘N’ Sudds to watch the game, but not only am I not drinking for a long time after last weekend, tomorrow I’m doing the Gulu Walk with Chelsea. So what instead?
A trip to the Ridge Theatre at 16th and Arbutus with my friend Amy to see the Sean Penn-helmed Into the Wild. I really know nothing about it except that it looks like a fantastic, outdoorsy story with a moving message underneath. I’d rather re-cap it tomorrow instead of trying to tell you about it right now, so visit the website if you’re thirsty for more.

And last, but certainly not least, let’s have an updated look at Mt. Washington’s 24/7 live webcam in an attempt to tease you all. Having a mom and aunt living 10 minutes from the chain-up area is oh-so-sweet…
Hot damn that excites me!

Ah yes, Mount Washington! So good (but I haven’t been there in years!).
As for Roots, I used to like it, then I hated it, and now, like you, I find it pretty good for stuff…personally, I’m eyeing a new briefcase for Christmas from roots (come on SANTA!).
Cheers and Happy Friday.
I had been looking forward to seeing this film as well until I happened to run across a several reviews which mentioned that Penn had taken a little bit of artistic license with the actual facts. This wouldn’t be much of an issue if the film wasn’t being touted as a depiction of the events that occurred. The whitewater scene for instance, never happened, he portaged the canoe. All to portray the main character as more of a dynamic individual who fell prey to tragedy as opposed to a fool (or even mentally unbalanced as some have claimed) person who should have known better. Regardless, i’ve heard the film has some great views of the Alaskan landscape and wildlife. That alone makes it worth catching, ruse or not.
Have I mentioned how jealous I am that you are up there (Vancouver), and I am down here (SoCali). It was 92F , supposed to hit 100+ by Monday….uugghhhh. It’s freakin’ October!!! :p
I’m like the world’s worst snowboarder.
I’d have to see it to believe it, Duaniac!
