I want to write books like her—not.
I’ve been filling up my plate as much I can these days. I really want my portfolio to be bursting at the seams. I figured that if I can volunteer my writing anywhere that will take me, it’ll give me good practice.
Work is going well, busy as always, but really well. I’ve started working on projects with more great people and it’s loads of fun. Big things also happening this coming week.
My second article with TalentEgg.ca should be up soon. I’ve contacted Campus Intercept—thanks Michelle—and I’m just waiting to hear back on when I can start writing. I’ve also been picked up by LiveDress.com; it’s a fashion site, and I’ll be writing profiles on independent boutiques around downtown Toronto. Most people have asked me why I’d write for an online fashion publication, but it’ll make it a challenge for me to have to write outside of my usual topics. It’s good practice.
Which brings me to my next question: Am I officially a writer? I mean, at work I write for a living. I’ll be writing for three publications soon, and LiveDress is giving me $9 an article. Yeah! $9! It’s better than nothing—I feel so bourgeoisie. Does all this make me a real writer? I don’t really know. I guess when other people start calling me a writer then I’ll feel like one. Whatever.

I just hit that mid-afternoon wall and needed to take a break from work. Nothing like relaxing to this video. So geeky!

Not mine, but I want to post one as soon as I get a copy.
Michael C. Place is giving out a free copy of this lovely screen saver. You have to email the blog to get a copy, but it looks like it’s worth it. So slick; I’m waiting for my copy to arrive in my inbox. They ask that you take a photo and post it online once you’ve installed it.

I just read online that February 26th will be “Do Over Day” in Canada.
History’s inaugural Do Over Day is Thursday, February 26th, 2009. This is the one time of year when all Canadians can revisit and/or repair the significant moments of their lives.
Canadian’s always have such polite ways of celebrating things.
What would you do over?

Darren Aronofsky flips off Mickey Rourke during his Golden Globe winning acceptance speech. All in good fun, but it looks like NBC will be stuck with an FCC fine. If you haven’t seen The Wrestler yet, then I don’t know what you’re waiting for. Get your thumb(s) out of your asses and watch this movie.
SHE'S A STRIPPER IN IT!
