first mortgage payment
Well, my first mortgage payment finally came out. I’ll be counting pennies for a while and even did up a handy expense sheet to see how much I’m accustomed to spending — a bit scary. Hopefully I’ll be able to up my payments. Even if I can increase them by $25 per payment, that’s $50 [...]

whilst in stratford-upon-avon
Last year when I was in Stratford-Upon-Avon I scribbled down a quote I liked that was written on the wall of the Shakespeare exhibit at the house beside where Shakespeare used to live when he returned from London. I just found the scrap of paper in my unpacking so I thought I’d put it up [...]

Whenever I’m in England I always get a rail pass and take the train. I love it so much. Everything about it. Catching the train seems so romantic.

I can’t stop smiling!
Tonight was absolutely perfect! Brian and I met up after work (I even parked and took the subway — I’m trying to be better about not driving everywhere). We went to see the Emily Carr exhibit at the AGO. Now, I value Emily Carr as a person, an artist, and [...]

Brian and I met at AMC last night and saw Reign Over Me. I thought that the story was really well told. Not too over the top (except for the blatant plane imagery in the video game Adam Sandler was playing). But, for the most part everything was understated and just a really good, and [...]
