Based on this you might suppose that I grew up to be a mathematics genius. I didn’t.

I’m absolute rubbish at Maths. Rubbish.

That’s why I’m currently dusting off some of my favourite books for some “smart” reading this summer. I’ve already put up a sticky on my desktop to remind me that I’m only moments away from sinking my teeth into some quality literature.

My first pick for smart summer reading is definitely:

Hoofbeats: Lara and the Silent Place.

Lara and the silent phase

This book really takes me back to my own “silent place” and the innocence that surrounds me when I’m in said silent place. And then there was silence…

My second pick is the mystery thriller:

The Not-So-Jolly Roger.

This book is by far the most mysterious and thrilling episode in the “Time Warp Trio” Series. I like to hide under the covers and read this book with a flashlight whilst eating marshmellows and cheese snacks. Takes you back, doesn’t it?

I am pleased to present a new photo series entitled: Canadian things. What are Canadian things? Well, that’s what we are gonna find out.

#1: Mounties.

canadian things - Mounties1

This is what you should have learned: Mounties are Canadian. Good.

That concludes lesson one.

and waiting… at 21 Water St in Gastown for an audition at Workspace. Super cool office space with a wicked view and sweet Macs and Air-con. Too bad I had to wait in smokin’ hot lobby on the floor for two hours.

At least I had some good company to make the time pass a little faster.

Lisa’s Facebook Status:

She is back from sunning herself and her cleavage on Kits beach. Her new tan is so awesome. She loves this hot hot heat weather.

You: Why are you talking in the third person?
Me: Are you talking to me?
You: Yeah, I am.
Me: Go on then.
You: “She”… “her”.. you’re speaking the the 3rd person.
Me: Oh. Didn’t notice that.
You: You wouldn’t would you?
Me: Guess not. Too busy, you know, tanning at the beach in a bikini. Whatever.
You: You are ridiculously vain.
(pause)
You: YOU disgusted ME.
Me: Hey, that would make a great Web 2.0 Social Networking site:UdisgustMi

.
(pause)
Me: Catchy.

“Why Add when you can Reject?”

Step 1:

We’ll compile a list of “friends” for you from all the personal information you give us, like your bank account and credit card numbers, address, where you live, where you work, and all the passwords to, like all your electronic stuffs. It’s real official, so like, don’t worry… We’ll keep it all on the down low.

Step 2:

Personally reject people that disgust you. Tell them what you think of them, like, really mean stuff like “uhhh, you’re stupid and gross” “why are you so lame?” “i don’t know you, but I already hate you”.

Step 3:

Reject everyone until there is just you. It’s that simple. Then you can just send messages to yourself and add photos or post a sweet video diary clip that only you can see… After all, the only “real friend” you’ve got is yourself anyway.

NB. This is a satire. Thanks for not being offended.
