I like taking pictures of shadows. Lately, as a result of this blog, I have been taking more pictures than usual.

I started yesterday with a picture of Marmite, so isn’t it perfect that Ash brought home an Australian sparkling wine? You can see it here:
Jacob’s Creek Chardonnay Pinot Noir Brut Cuvee (750ml, $18.99 at the scuzzy liquor store on Commercial and 1st that Ash really, really hates going to, as he never fails to [...]

I seem to be on a celebrity kick today. There’s really nothing better than a good old fashioned air-brushing exposed. I work in a casual office and sometimes I just look at myself and think, how did it become o.k. to leave the house like this? When did the Shopper’s Drug Mart hair-claw become my fashion [...]
