  • SATC Event Review

    OMG!! Twas A great movie, even for a non-fan like me! We got to the theatre at 9:30am, signed in then grabbed our complimentary popcorn, drinks, coffee and pastries and headed in. As expected, the place was packed! I will not reveal the details of the film, but bring some tissues for the dramatic moments, […]

  • Mmmmarvellous Melona!

    Totally found a new treat today, folks! I was out for a stroll at lunch with a friend and she introduced me to the heavenly bliss that is the Melona Ice Bar. *drools* It’s a Korean treat that can only be found at a few places in T.O. What a shame! I found it at […]

  • SATC Pre-Screening

    This week did not have a good start to it. Yesterday morning I twisted my ankle getting out of the streetcar, I was unable to “get my groove on” at work to get things done, and my internet poops out for the SECOND time in 3 days, requiring a second tech to come out and […]

  • The Frugal Bachelorette Weekend

    In my post below I outlined a few of the things that we did for my best friend’s bachelorette weekend. What I didn’t mention is my surprise at how little it cost us in the end. Just for perspective, I was estimating the personal cost to be somewhere around $200 each for the weekend, since […]

  • The Vespa Investigation

    A while back I blogged about possibly getting myself a scooter to get around the GTA in the pleasant months. I was hoping to get one pretty soon, especially since the TTC strike put a real kink in my plans. However, after a little investigation into costs and logistics, I’ve decided to put off my […]

It has caused our city to come to a grinding halt and inconvenienced thousands upon thousands of riders […]

  • Evil Dead Reprised

    So last night I went to see Evil Dead: The Musical again (!!!). Only this time it was for an ad event. Metro newspaper was celebrating the re-launch of its website, so they bought the entire Diesel Playhouse out so they could offer us the tickets. We also got free food and Steamwhistle beer. Yumm! […]

  • TTC Strike!

    It’s as I feared, the TTC will be going on strike on Monday. Again. I’m pretty much screwed in terms of getting to work as I am totally dependant on the TTC to get me around. I am trying to see if V will be able to pick me up on Monday and drop me […]

  • Product Review: Cake Milk Made Hand Creme

    I’m on a roll, folks! Here’s a review of one of the other products I was pleasantly surprised by: Milk Made Hand Creme by Cake. I first received this as a gift from the W Network about a year ago. I had no idea what it was and had never heard of the brand before […]

  • Swag Update

    According to the poll I had a little while ago, most of you want me to write more about the advertising world. Since I got such a great response on my posts about all the swag I get, I thought I’d dish what I got this week! Surprise gift: We’re running a test campaign with […]
