Reading...

I bought this book today after it found it's way onto my desk at work. I was telling a co-worker about Guerrilla Gardening and how I was looking forward to this book being released. It had been ordered for the store but I wasn't expecting it to be here so soon! I've only had a chance to flick through it briefly but it looks really interesting! 

Watching...

Trying to catch up on old X files episodes in anticipation of the movie coming out. I get unflinchingly geeky when it comes to old Mulder & Scully. What can I say? They were with me through my awkward formative years... It takes all my restraint not to defiantly hang an I want to believe poster on my bedroom wall. (moving on...)

Curious about...

I read today that newspapers in the UK have "unmasked" Banksy. Apparently, a newspaper had been working for years gathering info through interviews, photos and other means to try and figure out his real identity. I must say I am a little curious about this, but I'm also really disappointed that once again the mystery of something enigmatic has been ruined in peoples obsessive quest of "need-to-know". I believe that a large part of his artistic appeal (and process for that matter) was the element of mystery and illegality of his work.

Going to bed!

Nite!

A a little Peewee flew into the stairwell of our building today, in through an open doorway. He went up three flights of stairs and rested, exhausted, on the photocopier in the hallway at the top. A trio of us tried to coax him out, but in the end we had to catch him and carry him outside into the alleyway. I crouched on the ground and gently opened my hands but he just continued to sit there startled from the confusion just before.

Then he flew away, up and over the roof out of sight without looking back. The end.

Tonight I ate at a Japanese restaurant where the waiters took turns playing the piano in their aprons. They all seemed really relaxed. Later, I had a mini Lemon Meringue with icecream all to myself. I saw a dog being walked which stopped at each table to say hello to people eating. I'm tired, but it was a good night.

My friend from work was telling about how much she misses having a dog now that she lives in an apartment in the city. So today B and I decided we’d go for a visit and take Jade along to meet her.

We all decided to go for a walk to the local park and I was excited to learn that there was an off-leash dog park nearby. Jade had never been to one before so I was a little concerned at how her manners would be around potential new doggie friends (she’s been known to be like a bossy toddler in large groups of dogs…). But she did wonderfully, met lots of great dogs and even exchanged a few phone numbers. 

There were the two excitable Kelpies who ran rings around everyone chasing each other. There was the extremely shy but curious young black Lab who so desperately wanted to come up and talk to Jade but just couldn’t summon up the courage. There was the Weimeramer-type dog who was beautiful and well-mannered and had the smoothest coat. And then there was the most adorable 3 month old Chocolate Lab just like the one that B and I want to adopt one day! Gertie was very playful and bouncy and just wanted to bite Jade’s face and paws and tail and leg….

 

Everytime I see this picture it never fails to make me smile...

Have you ever seen the ears on a mouse? They are tiny, and very minute veins are visible and they remind me of delicate paper that you just want to touch and admire.
