  • urban capture the flag

    2006-09-29T2143 Originally uploaded by The_Rumour. I’ve been up to a lot lately, causing my energy to be low during my downtime and thus my lack in motivation to update. However, I went to a neat little (!) event last night and just had to post about it. At about 9PM in the square at King…

  • Thoughts on Bangkok’s Military Coup

    Coup! What Coup? Dave and I were very surprised to wake up last Wed. morning, 21st September, to a barrage of emails from concerned friends and family asking if we were ok. We had been out the night before to a Fado concert (it was wonderful and I will write about that later) and on…

  • nail polish

    Thinking the slightly higher than normal price must mean I would get quality, I bought some Elizabeth Arden nail polish from Shoppers Drug Mart. It’s a lovely deep metallic pink in colour, and looks great on my toes. I seem to have trouble applying it to my fingers, however. Because I use my hands a…

  • funny post plug!

    Bookseller Chick has a hilarious post about people talking on hands-free sets in bookstores. I was laughing out loud almost soon as I began reading it. Moreover, I love the reference to Borg. Check it out.

  • We finally got to Ayutthaya, the historical city around 1:00PM and by this time it was very hot indeed somewhere in the low 40’s C!First stop Wat Phra Si Sanepet a view of one of the three Stupas. A Stupa is a buriel mound for a holy man, at least that is what they were…

  • shoots so far

    I’ve had a number of great photo shoots this year. I haven’t posted the best photos from them yet, but some are available on my Myspace and ModelMayhem profiles. Just thought I’d list the websites of the photographers, makeup artists and fashion designers I’ve worked with: Melissa Munroe Monika Kollar studio204 Steve Wilkie Katie Scanlan…

  • tiff is going on? i hadn’t noticed…

    More than halfway through the Toronto International Film Festival week, I am disappointed to report that the streets of Toronto do not crawl with celebrities during this time. In fact, it is so devoid of celebrities making public appearances that I have not seen a single one amongst all my regular daily travellings. How boring.…

  • Bangkok Culture

    Yesterday I went to see “Aida” performed by the National Opera House of Belarus and staged at The Thailand Cultural Centre here in Bangkok. I got a ticket at the last minute but still got a good seat, at the back, on the ground floor; it is a good theater to see and hear in.This…

  • the lord of the rings musical

    What better way to commemorate the end of the short run of shows The Lord of the Rings musical had here in Toronto than a review of the one I saw in August? I went to a Sunday matinee viewing of the musical at the Princess of Wales Theatre. Even at the end of its…

  • my rice crispie square recipe

    I get numerous hits daily from people searching for rice crispie square recipes, and I realised it must be quite a disappointment for them to come here, read about how I developed the perfect one, and then not get the actual recipe. So, here it is for the world to assimilate, bake with and ultimately…
