Please note: This blog has gone portable as I abandon the still thawing Canada for a whirlwind four month journey around Europe.

I plan to post at least once a week to document my adventures as a solo female vegan art-loving traveller. Check out the map for geographical details of the trip in progress. Both the blog and the photos on Flickr will be updated as often as possible.

Of Course: 10 Ambitious Resolutions for 2008

It’s good to think big, right? Well I have lots of changes I would like to see happen in my life, and while I may not achieve all of them I think it’s good to have them defined. A few of them will be enforced practically at the start of 2008, while others […]


Three thoughts, three vacation days left, and a cold/confusing night.

1.  I just saw the movie Juno, and it was fantastic.  I have a soft spot for movies with well-written dialogue and complex characters … I find that usually those movies are based on books, since hollywood is sometimes short on creativity in the plot/character/writing department.  I noticed lots of smaller things in Juno that […]


Christmas 2007: The Food

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m really starting to love cooking and baking. If you were to have asked me about that five or six years ago, I would have laughed you out of the room - I used to hate it. But some kind of strange nesting bug has hit […]


Christmas 2007: The Gifts

I’m sorry for the delay in reporting, it’s been a hectic Christmas so far. Right now I am piecing together my life after the influx of material objects that is Christmas - and also contemplating new years resolutions. I thought I would report back first on the gift-giving experiment J and I attempted. […]


La Familia

Greetings from the family gathering intensive experience - currently on hiatus from the internet!  Unwilling, of course.  Doing lots of baking and cooking of delicious foods to be arrayed alongside the “normal” omni-fare.  Will be taking a blogging break (I think) to return with many food photos and much brilliance.


Linky Linky love: Resource for Vegan Travel

So a few posts of note have been spontaneously written par moi over at the t-log. One about Cute Overload beluga and turkey gazing, and the other about a possible interest in studying animals in advertising after seeing some intriguing commercial uses of animals.
Anyway, I thought I’d stop in to share a great site […]

Notebook Excerpt: Developing Healthy Eating Habits

I have a strange relationship to notebooks. I am very particular in choosing one that feels right to me - having the kind of paper format I’m in the mood for. Sometimes I like the typical lined pages, or sometimes I’m in the mood for graph paper or even completely blank paper. […]


Updates: Tumblr Infatuation and the Usual Stress Noises

What’s new?
1. Ever heard of any kind of disorder along the lines of self-destructive busy-itis or chronic-bee syndrome? I think that since I was perpetually busy in university with a 20 hour per week job and full time classes, I now have the tendency to take on an abundance of projects to […]


Veganomicon and Gourmet Canadian Rest-Stop Food - Not for the Faint of Heart

So I finally broke down and purchased Veganomicon - the newest all-purpose authoritarian vegan cookbook which is sure to form a solid foundation for my cooking for years to come. I consider it an essential purchase given that the holiday season is fast approaching; I’m preparing to spread around as much delicious food […]
