bathtime!

Apparently I'm not smart enough to take a jacuzzi bath.
(It's usable, although not completely finished, i.e. no shower curtains) I thought I'd give it a whirl before heading to London tomorrow. Poured in a couple capfuls of bubble bath- same thing I've been doing since I was a kid.
After about one minute, I had to call my mom into the bathroom to turn off the jets- the switch is on the wall. The bubbles were foaming madly and ready to pour over the side. It was like a movie... a bad one! The hilarity was photographed but I'm not sure if bubble bath pic is too "scandalous"!

Going to be MIA for the next week, I'll see if it's possible to post a few photos while I'm experiencing the UK's worst cold snap in 30 years. Seriously. I thought it was going to be WARM (i.e. 0C)!
P.S. I'm totally visiting Platform 9 3/4.

Sherlock Holmes

I just saw Sherlock Holmes yesterday with my sister. I absolutely loved it!

Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law (whom I'm normally not a huge fan of) played the pair of Holmes and Watson perfectly. Everything was fantastic, from the late 19th century London set (complete with partially constructed Tower Bridge), the costumes, and the score.
Rachel McAdams was fantastic as well, it was nice to see her as a criminal vs. her usual roles. I think the best part was psyching me up for my London trip. I hope they continue with this series!

Origami

I found this video about Origami as an art form (and science too, apparently) on moleskinerie.
Reminded my of my recent gift from Paish, a stack of incredibly small origami paper. Result: super tiny paper cranes. My cat attempt was utter failure... think I need to practice on bigger paper first!

New year... same resolutions

I don't really make "new years resolutions" per se. I like to think I'm always striving towards bettering myself, in whatever ways.
So, I'll share my general (NOT New Years!) resolutions:
-Move. Anywhere. We'll see if the Euro thing pans out. If not... Ottawa? Victoria?
-I'm doing a 30-day yoga challenge starting January 16. Yoga. Every day. 30 days.
-On that note... start varying up the workouts a bit... (after the challenge of course!)
-Learn how to ride a bike. I told myself I would last summer... oops.
-Remember to take my vitamins!
-Stop using drive-thrus. Waste of gas, pollutes the air, and whatever I'm buying certainly means I should get off my ass to go get it.
-give up my grudges. Waste of energy!
-Make a painting. Even if it's terrible. (Paish, wanna help?)
