I'm in a fantastic mood. The universe is click-click-clicking out synchronicities disguised as coincidences that make me lol on subway cars. I went out only to give and came back with gifts. That's why I love being a slave to Karma. I donated a crate of zines to the TO zine library then headed to Seekers books to give a home-made present to Evelyn as a thank you for being-a-good-friend-to-a-total-stranger and giving-wise-advice. At Seekers books, I decided to look for some more gifts for friends and to pick up a book to get my mind up a few gears. I didn't mean to spend 4 hours there. In fact, I meant to go to the art supply store before they closed. I also didn't mean to buy 6 books but when you know a book of $7 contains knowledge and wisdom of centuries that you really want to know and use or to give to another, you simply cannot say no. Then upon noticing the used books I was buying, a girl told me about this cool film producer Velcrow Ripper, who made ScaredSacred. He's looking for people to pre-screen his upcoming film and she's going to ask him if I can go. That's so exciting! Then after leaving Seekers, I ran into this dude on the street selling his zines on this cold winter night which were really cool. I bought one but he gave me all of them. I felt like hugging him but instead put my palms together and thanked him. Later I ran down the up escalator to catch my subway. I looked up from my seat to see a bunch of fresh TTC pamplets on escalator safety. I just had to laugh.
You may have noticed I haven't posted in a really long time. I would like to get back in the swing of it but we'll see. I'll be in Ottawa from the 18th to around the 28th and really want to see people I've missed. Likely if you're reading this and you're in Ottawa, you're one of those people. Love.

ROFL Humans are so cocky sometimes. We spend so much money, scientists, energy, natural resources and hope on living on another planet. Pffft. We can't even live on the planet we've been evolving to survive on for hundreds of millions of years. Humanity's technology and engineering is relatively really really young. Nature is way smarter than us and it hasn't created life on Mars so what makes us think we can, other than cockiness? Let's do something that's been proven possible: sustainable survival by integrating cooperatively with Nature. Let's put ECO back in economy. After all, economy is the ecology of humans.Right now I'm just:  nerdy |
So as I was planning to move in to my new house in Toronto, I started to want a cat. This is probably because I'd been living with an adorable dog for the past 7 years. But things didn't look bright since my pitch was accepted by one room mate but shot down by the other. A few weeks later, the roomie that kitty-objected was convinced that it would be okay, mostly by her girlfriend.
The very next day, a cat jumps in our window and makes this place his home. We leave the window open enough that he can come and go, but more and more he spends most of the time with us. He's adorable, probably about 2 years old, has short haired and stunning green eyes. We named him Cosmo because the Cosmos brought him to us when we asked...As Simmi has quoted many a time:
"Know what you want and all the universe conspires to make it happen."
