feel my heart beat now

the new snow made fantastic lighting for taking pictures

a fuckload of garbage by such an awesome mural
this one deserves some ironic title, but alas, i can't think of anything

i want this in my room

sketchville alley

i want to take pictures with Es here someday... hop over the fence
and go on the roofs

oh christmas tree

all my favourite colours


my current desktop wallpaper

am i ever going to get sick of seeing the mothafuckin' huge billboards by the eaton centre?
snowflakes

ray made a heart
aha



ray looking snarky

we went over to otie's house. this is her neighbourhood, east of downtown toronto

kitty! (i think that's my reaction to anything cat-related)

one of otie's numerous paintings. this is a portrait of her older sister, kalina

otie and her sisters

no walls upstairs are painted the same colour. this creates a psychedelic effect, especially with all the paintings and sculptures and photos and masks and kitschy junk and props (otie's parents are actors).

otie's room

one of her two cats

creepy shadows

we had a tea party

lemon cookies with icing, biscotti, apricot and fig cookies, hard toast with cream cheese, cooked plantines with spicy pepper dip

oh, and tea. we had three kinds, three separate tiny teapots.
heh, feels like high tea... except i was actually stuffed by the end
the plantines with dip were so, so, so, so, so yummy

elli, otie's younger sister. she was the craziest eleven year old i've ever met

living room. haha see how cluttered it is. awesome!

persimmons

otie and elli

the four of us (otie, ray, elli and i) watched WAITRESS in her living room. she has a freakin old tv set, it was kinda crazy. there were stacks and stacks of vhs tapes that otie's parents were in. hahahahahha. i bought the pirated dvd for Waitress for less than $3. it was a promo dvd and it kept switching to black and white in the middle of the scene, dammit! it was really distracting. the movie was lovely as i remembered in theatres, though. the characters seem real (except for maybe the doctor). the movie made me crave pie afterwards.
