Enjoyed a visit from this absolute unit of a seagull on my walk today.

It’s Advent Calendar Eve.

I have American in-laws, so our household observes The Other Thanksgiving, but in the most Canadian way possible: we put the stuffing, veg, and meat into a slow cooker and then *walk away*. Pour up a glass of wine and watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles. This is the way.

No disrespect to Smart/Dieck, but this is the prime Let Me Entertain You program. #FinlandiaTrophy #GPFigure

This coat is pretty great, though. Anyone got a spare 500 bucks and a yearning to give me a great Christmas present?

I can't stop laughing over the promo photos for the Canadian olympic team merch. It's giving Supervillain Alpine Hideout, (which is what happens when you use SFU's campus as your shooting location).

This is Noodles, the bengal who belongs our neighbour. She is the tiny queen of our floor & roams the halls with impunity. Today she almost achieved a months-long ambition to sneak into our apartment, only to be thwarted by a well-placed shoe. Undaunted, she will try again.
Noodles lives in hope.

I clicked on this, immediately wondered how long it would take for a Philip Roth, Martin Amis, or Norman Mailer reference to pop up and there were ALL THREE.

Also: it's giving Michelle Kwan Salomé revival.

A vintage Michelle Kwan-inspired change of edge spiral sequence from Josephine Lee. This is heritage choreography! #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

There's a lot of focus on how technically complex it is to jump quads, but to transition between these spin positions, hit the lines, and maintain speed? Crazy difficult. This is years of technique and training right here. Gorgeous.
Jason Brown is an incredible skater.

Dinner was great, btw. (I’m sure you were all dying to know.)

(If you find yourself in Vancouver and want to treat yourself to a very nice night out, Osteria Savio Volpe is where you go.)

Really enjoy the attention to body position in Chaeyeon Kim step sequence. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Interrupting the figure skating posts to show off my freshly framed *and signed* Sigur Rós show poster from Wednesday’s Vancouver gig! The 19 year wait to see the band was worth it!

I love the finger guns!
