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.

On finding it increasingly difficult to post

I want to apologize for not posting as I promised.  Kind of wishing I had brought my macbook with me, since uploading pictures to Flickr takes hours of my time that I should be spending travelling.  I am thinking about waiting until I get to France to do some major updating (for about May 1st), […]


tweaking … again

As you might be able to tell I am fiddling yet again with design, trying to find something I feel good about. Loving this template but trying to customize it to my liking and periodically breaking it! Ah, the joys of blind CSS coding. Stay tuned for a polished site (hopefully!) and […]


Updates from a Chilly City

We are snowed in here, after a huge blizzard yesterday. So much has happened, where to start? I’ve been trying to “get out more” and get away from the laptop, which can be so addictive. Also trying to reconnect with friends I don’t see too often, which involves a lot of Facebook-yammering. […]


Gah! Redesign woes

Okay, as you can tell I’m having issues with fiddling with my blog’s design. Abandoning the idea of switching to a different template completely, at this point I am just experimenting with different colours. This would be easy if things were just all one colour but the template incorporates .gif images that I […]


Potential blog redesign?

I’ve spent the past few days looking at possible Wordpress templates for a much needed redesign.  While my current design is certainly fine, my site (in case you haven’t noticed) has been very slow and heavy lately.  So I have already contacted Dreamhost in case it’s on their end, but am also going to experiment […]


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 […]
