BSG and The Meaning Of Life

I just wanted to jot down quickly how I've been obsessed with the television series Battlestar Galactica lately (it happens), and I want to impress on any reader how well the show is done, and how it's been reaffirming thoughts I'm having concerning why were all here on this big rock (I'm telling you, it's that kind of a show).

I kind of feel like an idiot, because when I pinpointed why I think we exist, it seemed like a no brainer. It's love, dammit. Finding those people out there who will reciprocate a passion, whom you can share your life with. Finding out who those people are is a whole other ball of wax.

Anyways, in the show there's a group of human-made robots (the Cylons) who have evolved to look exactly like their makers, and whose last battle for the complete humanitizing of their kind is the struggle to find (and keep) love. The meaning of life.

Walkerville Art Walk... Discovering The 'Hood

I took a walk with Stace yesterday, around the neighbourhood, to check out the Art Walk. We got a bit of a late start; we went to check out the new Downtown Farmer's Market first, where I purchased a luscious cucumber melon hand cream puck from Harrow's Faerhaven. We also saw some of a busker act while we were down there. When we got back to Walkerville, the rain started, soooo... we didn't get to see as much I would've liked, but alas! It was a great opportunity to check out some of the shops around my new place, and to appreciate some work done by local artists.

We headed to The Yoga Loft first, since Stace teaches there and I'd never been up. What a beautiful space! Lots of long hallways to display lots of art, too.


Then we headed west, and checked out Jones & Co., a great little vintage shop with lots and lots of interesting merchandise. It's owned by Stacey's boyfriend's sister's boyfriend's mom. LOL Stacey found a companion candle holder to one that her mom has had for years, and if I didn't need prescription glasses, I would've totally bought these sweet shades.


The day was getting long, so we made one last quick stop into the Walkerville Tavern (Stacey's parent's neighbour's establishment, I'm sensing a theme here)... a cute little bar with a perfect "table" for displaying some art.


Then we headed to the Kildare, to meet Mr. Stacey's soccer team, and because that's where we always end up. It's a good place to end up. :)

Woo Hooooo!!! It's Finally Here!!

I'm super stoked to see the 6th installment of the saga that is Harry Potter! I must admit that Half-Blood Prince was my least favourite book in the series, but I know the movie is going to blow me away. Can't wait for Harry and Ginny to hook up!
