Art

My boss likes to paint, and when I found out, I jokingly asked if I could have one of her paintings to decorate my room. "I've just moved in and my walls are bare!" So she ran out to her car and brought back more than ten paintings, lay them on an exam table, and told me that I could take all of them if I wanted. I chose just one, and here is a picture of it:

existential cat and ball of yarn

All of her paintings were of dogs and cats, and now this lucky cat is floating in its multicoloured free-space above my bed.

My local news anchors are SAXY!

While watching the local evening weekend news, I couldn't help but notice how attractive the anchors were. These people are so high profile, I couldn't even find pictures of them on CTV's website or anywhere else online! So I resorted to taking pictures of the TV screen with my HTC.

Sports! Exciting!

Economy-grade Will Shuester keeps it real while reporting the news!

The best part was when the two of them were in the same shot! Look at their on-screen chemistry!

"Hey wouldn't it be fun if we wore matching suits for tonight's show?"

I have to apologize for my bad timing - after taking the above picture, the two anchors clumsily attempted a fist bump. Imagine it: sports guy throws his fist forward, news guy gets confused and keeps his fist clenched on the desk, and then nothing! No fist bump bump! I'm thankful though, because failed fist bump makes local tv magic.

Things I see when I leave my apartment

When I look back at my building, this is what I see. I live on the second floor.

Then I walk towards this, the biggest purchase I have ever made in my life so far. Baller who, baller what!

 Then I get in the car, and dangerously take pictures of the scenery as I drive.

 I think I'm in the prairies...

 It's flat!

The horizon really is a thing!

Partay time!

Tequila, it's the place to be when you're in the S-K-T! And for those after hours munchies, hit up the Tim Horton's! These two fine establishments share a parking lot!

Hello, I have brudder now?

This is Chris the Cat. Yes Bung, Chris. He will be Wally's new brother. He is lounging on my much-appreciated pink floral blanket.

Bright lights on Broadway

Broadway Ave is the only area outside downtown that features small business storefronts, rather than the large drive-in plazas with chain stores that grace the rest of the city. I love these three blocks.

Check Broadway out on a Sunday evening. It's bumpin'!

Beaver in the Bush

Do you see me? I'm grading papers behind my bale of hay.

Yesterday my gracious hostess and only friend took me on a tour of the veterinary medicine building at U of S. I saw this beaver behind a closed door. I think he teaches first year anatomy.

I was blown away by the drab concrete interior of the building, and am looking forward to spending four years of my life there. Across from the vet building, is the agricultural building with its beautiful spiral staircase and glass exterior, but I don't envy those agricultural students their sleek modern building, no I don't. 

Fun fact: the cafeteria in the vet building had its food services cancelled! Watch out Prof. Beaver...
