Crazy Heart
How could there not be wicked leather in this film?

It Can't Rain all the Time
I have been bad at posting this week, but come on - it got really amazing after a long stretch of crappy weather.
A long stretch that is going to continue starting tomorrow if the weather network is correct. I had to get out and enjoy it. You shouldn't even have noticed I didn't update this thing because you should have been out enjoying it too. Quick! Go! There's still a whole Friday afternoon to soak up! We'll talk as soon as it gets depressing out again!
Quick update - my Canadian Geographic piece is in and edited. I'll link as soon as the issue comes out.
Also, my friend Douglas Paton just had another of his books picked up by Scholastic Canada. Yay Doug!

Techno-Test.
No real news here. I'm easing into this video blogging with what may become a cyber collector's item for its rarity.

Pat on the Back...
I don't do it often, but I will congratulate myself today - on cookies. Mine are awesome and I'll tell you why:
It's not a special recipe.
It's nothing to do with super-specific, by-weight measurements.
There are no secret ingredients I'm "forgetting" to tell you.
There's no right or wrong way to put the pieces together.
It is as simple as not wasting your time with mere chips.
Rule #1) Start with a huge ass hunk of chocolate and let it guide you.

Oh World!
I'm on pins and needles waiting to find out about a hundred things! I wish I could just curl up in a cave, like a bear outsmarting winter, until all the news arrives.
Instead, today I'm working on a little writing and a lot of fooding. It's time for more groceries, more bread-baking, more cookie-making, more using up the 10, 000 tomatoes I have in the fridge. Ooooohhhhh what delicious responsibilities!
I'm also doing a bit of thinking - FANCY THAT. My wrists have started to ache for want of hammer-holding. The post-Hillside hiatus is coming to an end and I'm ready to get back under the leather. I came up with a bunch of ideas while I was swimming today, only one of which has anything to do with water.
I'll keep you posted (via posts and pictures) as things unfold...

It's an upset!
What an ending.
In other news, last night's Crawl was a wet one. I completely forgot I had my camera with me until it was too late, so all of these are from The Brain at the end of the night. More Crawl than Art.
There is a little art by Christie Sealey - probably my favourite portrait of all time. It's so beautiful and so sneaky! Oh it's just a coffee-drinking Heather chilling in a stripe of stripped paint.
Enjoy!

Art Crawl!
Even when I'm not hosting/helping host an Art Crawl event, these Friday mornings and afternoons disappear so quickly and I have no time to get my act together before 8pm.
Lots of good stuff happening tonight. In lieu of creating a sweet post today, maybe I'll take a camera along and give you some photo footage of the evening tomorrow.
