thx ..its a gooder

lost your shirt in the credit crunch? buy plain white

watching the noon hours news, they aired a piece on a trend thay say is driven by the credit crunch...the return to the plain white shirt. and just when you thought this was a better way to go as most men are challenged when it comes to fashion...voila! more choices than ever... thomas pink of london has a " white shirt bar". a nice beaded fitted one costs a mere L250 , while a simple version at L75. see gq.com

they actually tried to make a correlation between being less flashy due to the credit crunch and as a financial advisor; people see men who wear basic white as more trustworthy .

2009

as we enter the next year i love to look for a glance into the future. the greatest thing about the internet is that you can search and find exactly the opinion, attitude, proof or disproof on any subject. so this morning i went in search of my 2009 destiny...i like these two the best.

It s time to celebrate yourself, Taurus! You are pouring yourself into your life s mission and rejuvenating yourself with abundant thinking, which attracts great things to you. You re diligently creating a public arena where opportunities will emerge for you to be a teacher or messenger. Engagements for speaking, writing and sharing your thoughts will open up. Other people will be inspired by your enthusiasm and insight, and will support you in accomplishing your goals.

Taurus s excitement radiates more than ever this year, bringing with it a magnificent energy the world has been lacking. As you embrace the power of your heart and spirit, you are allowing yourself to transform and align with a universal energy source. You discover the space for your creativity to flow and abundantly bring the truth of your being into the world. Your focus on your connection with a higher purpose brings out the best in you and refines your self-expression.

You appreciate all the expansive shifts that are taking place in your life, and you are learning to break up routines and old patterns of rigidity. This allows you a new level of awareness and acceptance of your ultimate purpose. Pay attention to what has heart and meaning. Express your truth and you will advance. You will find avenues to bring your talents and belief systems to philanthropic endeavors. By the end of the year, you will be able to slow down a bit and find more time to enjoy the new you that you have created.

TAURUS
Ruling Planet: Venus
Symbol: The Bull
Element: Earth
Color: Blue, pink

In 2009 ambitious Jupiter will move into your work and career sector, expanding your professional and personal horizons. This planetary transit is an agent for achievement, advancement and professional recognition. However, disciplined, no-joking Saturn is laying down the ground rules and will demand hard work and focused determination. The combined energy of these two power planets will gently nudge (or force) you into a new lifestyle, career or relationship. Your reward? Stability, new horizons and growth.

The year begins on a chaotic note and life may seem like a traveling circus with you trying to juggle everyone's changing moods and your own work load. Your organization skills will be one of your tools for success, and when your ruler savvy Venus starts to kick down doors in June, you will be ready to step through.

Because the Bull is endowed with style and substance, a true heart and trustworthy soul, this year stay true to your nature and friends will line up seeking your wisdom, company and sage advice. You are a demanding perfectionist with the soul of a mystic. This year your mantra should be: Only he who can see the invisible can do the impossible.

2009 Taurus Love Match: Because demanding Saturn is directing the show in your relationship sector until October, this is a serious year for love. In a secure, committed relationship, you can reach a deeper bond through communication and thoughtfulness but do expect Saturn to bring up any weakness or flaws which, once recognized, can be overcome or repaired.

If you are single this year, a Virgo or Scorpio could share your serious mood or a fiery Leo or Aries could awaken your passions. But until September, watch out for a few irrational planetary surges. Otherwise, you could mistake a new infatuation for true love or vice versa. This year, give yourself time to test the mettle of yours and another's devotion.

river road sightings

each morning i drive river road. this boat has been a constant in my daily commute. i keep waiting for it to dissolve and sink below the surface. not today tho, it is beautiful as it sits cradled by the icy fraser river.

as i stood on the edge to take the picture i could hear the sound of the ice creaking and moving as it fights the strong current that pulls it west. it was a surreal moment. death of a vessel and the life of the river.

the craziness of it all

the snow, OMG the snow. the city is covered in a blanket of white. figures stumble through the snow trapped sidewalks as if they are drunk. they wobble, they toss and do a version of the chicken dance just to keep from falling!

and the streets...the streets became greasy fun. but the vision is so darn pretty!
the rest of the country giggles and points..but a white Christmas is worth the hard times here on the west coast.
there are others who live in the sun, or visit the desert at this times of year. they are jealous for sure.

2ma

way back in feb, i had a nasty sinus infection doubled up with a beauty of a bronchial germ war. well since that day i have been unable to smell anything! ok, not entirely true- some colognes and perfumes can get in but very few. it has been a weird run. no turkey baking or fresh pie smell, no summer breeze from the ocean, no scent of clean sheets or skin adversely no nasty smells either.
today i saw the e.n.t. doctor finally!
after the lovely sinu-cam experience...next steps:
prednisone
mri

not good.


perhaps this explains a few things of late, ya like how i spent some time in stupidville...

note*if i am going out now or later in life, then all who read this should know , i expect to be unplugged by one of you if i end up in a coma . that is not a quality of life i would enjoy
if i want to die; i hope one of you will honour my request and assist

heather nova-london rain

wtf flavour is that?

blue candy canes...have you tried one? wtf...what is that taste?

kinda like "grape" really
zero food reference to actual food

cause does the grape actually taste like any grape you have either eaten or drank? how about the blueberry? not me!

blue tastes like, well blue and grape, well tastes like grape
and who decided this anyways?

winterscape

ok, today is one of those fab days where all around you the world is a new. i love it when is snows here in vancouver. the air smells different, the scene is transformed and people are more friendly. i started my morning at about 630, brisk walk to the far side of town for a vente latte, read the local rag while sitting outside and walked home to the sound of crunching snow.

the pic is from my balcony looking east .....
