I may have just bought a laptop.
I still don’t know how I feel about this decision. I always hyperventilate just before clicking on “submit order” button.
I decided not to go with a macbook air or pro. Still stickin it out with windows.

What You Want is Never a Thing →
“Feelings are the currency of the human experience.”
…You could say that the pursuit of happiness ultimately drives everything we do, no matter how dumb those things are. This is a peculiar fact of life for our species: well-being is what we all want and need, yet it’s so delicate and fickle and overall we are embarassingly bad at achieving it.

The Kensington Business Improvement Association and Councillor Adam Vaughan on Friday unveiled seven market street planters equipped with swinging gates, designed to keep cars out of the market on Pedestrian Sundays.
“We’ve got to rethink the infrastructure to reflect how people are using the city,” Mr. Vaughan said. “It’s rethinking assumptions that are 50 years old.”
But not everyone’s...
It’s delightful to see so many people sitting out on their front porches on my street.
And lots of foot traffic too. And conversations.

Curled up in a chair next to the window with cats, a book, coffee, and a the warm light of my lamp, while listening to sound of rain on the roof and thunder rolling across the North York skies.
Perfect.
Guys, The Dark Knight.

I found him lying lifeless outside in the corner of our yard.
Heartbroken.

So what do we do about all this violence? As I write these words, I feel as saddened and burned out by the week, and its subsequent reportage, as any other Torontonian. Do we round up the gang-bangers and send them away forever? Boot them out of our precious city?
Certainly, this kind of political talk plays into people’s feelings of helplessness and anger. And in a world where people are...

Hemingway Shoots His Cat →
We now know young Ernest Hemingway was a sensitive soul but, beneath the machismo for which he became known, the iconic author seemed to have maintained his soft core into his final years. One testament to this was his well-documented love of his cats — he had 23 by 1945. (His first cat, named Snowball, was given to him by a ship’s captain and was six-toed; his former home in Key West, Florida,...
