<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy --> :: Friday, May 26, 2006 :: I've discovered my new favourite band, Pilate. For all those who'd already discovered them, thanks for telling me about them. Geez. Thanks to Alex, my music guru. He usually knows what I like; he also introduced me to Keane and David Gray. And I realized that I should put up a new list on the WebGoddessCathy MSN Space with my favourite bands. So I did. And I'll keep adding to it. Maybe I should add that page to my navigation. But the design is so MSN, I feel like a sell-out. Who am I kidding? I AM a sell-out. :: Cathy 3:18 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Thursday, May 25, 2006 :: I feel like crap. It seems that everyone else has been sick, so I guess it's my turn. http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif At least I didn't feel this crappy yesterday, so I was able to do my walking club (which was a nice long walk this time) and go to beach volleyball (we only lost one game out of seven!). Unfortunately, the pub we went to afterwards was very busy and we waited 1.5hrs for our food, meaning I didn't get home until late. When I did finally get home, I was so tired I didn't know what to do with myself. And so I slept in a little this morning, seriously considering whether or not to go into work at all. In the end, I decided I had a few things that I really should do today and so here I am. Although, I did break down and take the TTC instead of walking. It's a decadence these days for me to take public transport to work - it means I can wear a skirt and can read my book on the way and drag my feet as I get ready in the morning. Besides, today is supposed to be the day that we celebrate Alex's birthday. I can't be sick for that! :: Cathy 8:24 AM [+] :: 0 comments :: Monday, May 22, 2006 :: I have put up some photos of my trip to Nova Scotia! You can check out a slideshow of some of them on my MSN Space which I just created. I'll be uploading more photos up on my site and adding some commentary soon! It's always a bit sad when a vacation ends. It was so great to hang out with Raye and see a bit of her new home. Halifax is totally a place I could live. :: Cathy 7:31 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Sunday, May 21, 2006 :: We're back from our Nova Scotian southwest cost road trip, with a Dairy Queen blizzard in my belly and warm pjs on so I can watch my final movie with Raye in comfort. It was a GREAT trip! We had a great B&B in Lunenburg called the Bluenose Lodge. It was beautiful! We had dinner at the Fish Factory, which someone had assured us got the freshest fish. I had the most expensive seafood dinner on the menu. The lobster tail, the shrimp and the haddock were all fantastic. The salmon was gross. We walked across the street for cheesecake before walking back to the B&B for a great sleep. Next morning (Saturday) we had a huge breakfast. 3 choices: french toast (Raye), Bacon and eggs (which I'd had at least 3 times already that week) and something called "skillet." Naturally, I had the mystery dish. Turns out that it's a big messed up omlette. YUM! We took out walking tour through the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, the old town of Lunenburg. Then on to Kejimkujik Seaside Adjunct National Park for a kick ass 8km hike. Totally recommended - we saw seals and gorgeous rocky coast. And ate one of those famous maritime oatcakes from LaHave bakery. YUM! Too sweet for a cracker, not sweet enough for a cookie. Like oatey graham crackers. Then on to the Churchill Mansion near Yarmouth. Totally haunted. Totally weird cool place! We went to the Yarmouth Lightstation for sunset and then on to Ruggers for a scallop and haddock dinner and the BEST cheesecake! Fantastic night! Today we went to Digby, decided that it would take WAY too long to get down the Digby neck, what with negotiating ferry times etc., and back up again if we wanted to do a hike or whale watching or ANYTHING and still do the other things we wanted to do and get back to Halifax tonight. So we ate lunch (seafood chowder) and grabbed a hot drink at the fantastic Hungry Hollow Cafe before heading off to Anapolis Royal. Walking tour of historic Annapolis Royal - gorgeous! Toured around Port Royal, a heritage site nearby. Drove to Delap's Cove and did a short hike around to the Bay of Fundy and nice little waterfall. Drove to Wolfville where we went for another walk around their little park. Nice little town, actually. But we were ready to go home. So onward to Halifax (and Dairy Queen). Tomorrow, I wake EARLY for my flight. Sad. :: Cathy 5:14 PM [+] :: 0 comments
