Hey Ruby

I think you’ll like this video:

 

To the rest of you; I hope you do too.

bASS-ment

Soooo yeah, my basement neighbour is one of those bass-obsessed types.  The kind of person that can only listen to music with a subwoofer.  The kind of person who needs to FEEL his music as well as hear it.  I’m two floors above him and his music vibrates my bed… and not in a good way.

So this morning, when the bass had finally subsided at like, 430 in the a.m…. of course the ol’ pup decides that it is then that she needs to go out for a walk/pee!

So I took her out and took advantage of the cool light and took some pics:

your morning cute

Some students on a campus notice two squirrels who are trying to overcome an obstacle.

Two cute mammals + some concerned students + ‘Bruises by Chairlift’ = Rad interspecies cooperation video

I love this song.

your morning hope

I’m a bike rider.  It’s a relatively new identity for me.  I’d rather ride my bike than walk or take transit.  I will ride 13km and back to get a pay check.  I will carry picnic goods on the back of my bike. I haven’t reached hardcore status though, because I do not ride in the rain. 

ANYWAY. This isn’t about me.  This is about the fact that if I decided to bike to a concert, I could potentially plug my bike in to power that very concert.  I could ride a few extra kilometers to power the sound that will keep me dancing all night.

I just found out on CBC Radio One that since Mr Something Something wants to “emphasize the importance of audience participation and draw attention to sustainability issues, the Toronto collective has put together Canada’s first pedal powered sound system, the SoundCycle.”

They refer to this idea as dancefloor activism.  In the past I’ve heard about a group that figured out a way to harness the power of the movements that happen ON the dancefloor.  Something about registering the vibrations.  Anyway.  Whoever they are (which I’ll try to find out later), imagine if they played a concert together?

Mr. Something Something will be making an appearance at the Spring Opening of Pedestrian Sundays. No cars allowed there!

Stay active!

your morning sunshine

thanks to gramps for this lovely morning music

I particularly love the song ‘The Lucky One’

your morning smile

my aunt sent this to me.

I opened it this morning.  I love seeing how happy it made a bunch of the older ladies who were lucky enough to be in this station when it happened.

It made me so happy it brought tears to my eyes.

I think it’s time to start doing dance lessons again… or at least host dance parties in the park!

crazy in the coconut
