  • Movie Awards Style Baking

    • My sister is the baker of our family, where I prefer to play with camera lenses.  I don't have the baking talent that she has.  I haven't been able to bake any desert from scratch without forgetting something, measuring incorrectly etc.  I've also been known to make a mess of "straight from the box" cakes.  I was 7 yea[...]

  • Movies I saw in 2010

    • This adventure began in 2005, when I decided to start a list of how many movies I had seen that year.  I've managed to keep it as a 99% accurate tradition for four years in a row and I'm excited to conclude it with it's fifth and final year.  Here are the movies I remembered to keep track of in 2010, this list is consi[...]

  • Relish & 567vfx Art Show 2009

    • It's been a few years since I last participated in an art show, but I had a lot of fun with this one.  It all began a few weeks ago when a friend showed Carrie Jeffels my photography.  She liked it enough to contact me to collaborate on a piece together.  She had presented art in the previous Relish art shows and was p[...]

  • Fruit & Cupcakes

    • I've recently been experimenting with food photography.  Photos of food in magazines and cookbooks always look beautiful and I decided to do a quick test with some fresh fruit and cupcakes I had around the house. Here's the result:

  • Becel Ride For Heart 2009

    • Today I cycled on the Don Valley Parkway (Hwy)  in the Becel Ride For Heart.  This was my second year in a row participating and it was a lot of fun.  Matt and I got up at 5am and were on our way by 6:30am.  Last year we cycled to the event, but this year we were lazy and tested our shiny new bike rack, which worked gr[...]

  • Apartment Renovations Begin

    • Two weeks ago construction began on our apartment unit.  The building is updating and renovating the heating and air conditioning ventilation system in all of the units.  Each year they do one row of apartments from the penthouse down to the first floor.  There are over 24 floors in our building, so it take a few month[...]

  • Mothers Day & The Mississauga Half Marathon

    • Last weekend on Sunday May 10th, many of children both young and old celebrated how wonderful and amazing our mothers are.  Many of us show our appreciation through purchases such as flowers, spa packages, and various other gifts we think will show our mothers how special they are to us.  All of this is an attempt to p[...]

  • Segways for a bday in the Distillery District

    • On May 2nd my sister and I treated my Dad to an afternoon of Segway riding in the Toronto Distillery District.  It was a 90min tour to learn the history of the Distillery area while riding Segways.  We spent a few minutes learning the techniques of how to ride the Segways and then we were off.  They are very easy to ri[...]

  • DJ Louise Nox - Kool Lounge, Toronto

    • This past weekend I went to a lounge in Yorkville called "Kool Lounge".  A friend of mine invited me there to check out a fairly new and kick ass DJ called "Louise Nox".  I had been to a Gavin Rossdale concert earlier in the night and was a little nervous if I'd be able to get into the electronic vibe easily or not.  B[...]

  • Gavin Rossdale Live

    • This weekend my sister and I saw Gavin Rossdale perform live at the Danforth Music Hall.  For those who don't know, Gavin Rossdale first showed up in North America in the 90's as the lead singer of the grunge band Bush.  Their breakout album "Sixteen Stone" contains hits such as "Machinehead", "Glycerine" & "Everyt[...]

  • Iron Maiden Day - April 21, 2009

Flight 666 is a behind the scenes look at Iron Maiden's "Somewhere Back In Time World To[...]
