After a long hiatus, my Lomo and I are getting reacquainted.

Hey photographer friends!

Can you recommend a good negative scanner? Do you have one and if yes, what do you like/dislike about it?

Thanks in advance.

I recently purged my iTunes library because my old eMac doesn't have much space. With the recent update to Last.fm, my version of Mac OSX is no longer compatible with scrobbling which bums me out because I'm the type of gal who loves cataloguing play counts and organizing my music library. Sigh.

During the holidays, there's nothing more festive than a crispy Santa face.

I can't figure out how to embed this video so here's the link.

Blah blah the west coast is so beautiful blah mountains blah trees blah blah ocean.

Dudes, all this rain is bumming me out.

This is especially good if you know Jeffrey Lewis' work but also very good if this is your first time hearing him.

Yesterday's bike ride was the first of the season that required mittens. It is officially fall. I have started taking vitamin D again and all I want to do is drink tea, knit, and listen to music that feels like autumn. Recently on my playlist: Sarah Harmer, The Mountain Goats, Julie Doiron, Hayden. Basically, (with the exception of Harmer) anything that could be classified under sad bastard.

Last week, I saw Ohbijou at Lucky. Ohbijou seems more like a spring band.

I know this is already all over the internet, but just in case you haven't seen it yet I'm posting it. I know these are all American celebrities, talking about the American election but just remember my Canadian comrades, we've got an election too and October 14th is VERY SOON. A friendly reminder to make sure you're on the electors list.

Hi internet. According to Google calculator, today I am 9496.29717 days old!

Amusing musical selection in my sister's car:

Absolutely ridiculous, yet strangely fascinating.

Would you like to know the number one reason to NOT leave filing your taxes until April 28 when the deadline in April 30?

Because you keep getting this message:
Can not establish a secure connection to the server “apps.cra-arc.gc.ca"


ETA: Finally after six tries, I have filed my taxes for 2007 and according to Ufile.ca I'll be getting a hefty refund. Woo!

This is pretty awesome.

The library dispute has been resolved! Branches will reopen on Tuesday. HURRAY!
