The World's Most Expensive
Tomorrow I go smell the world’s most expensive perfume. I’m not excited because I don’t know whether I will like it, but I won’t wear perfume that day so I can try it on in its true form.
Oh yes, and it’s in the Guinness Book of Records.

Didn’t eat anything after working out! Someone give me a prize!
FB
Do people still use facebook? I find that I hardly do and feel no desire to go on it unless someone has messaged me first. I also use it when I don’t know someone’s email address, because I find that if I”m just sending you a msg on facebook, I may as well just email you that same message. Same goes for sending messages to multiple people. On the same note, people at work were...

Sweeney Todd
Now watching Sweeney Todd. I am never in the mood for a musical, but I love Johnny Depp so am finally sitting down to watch this. So far so good.

Scroll Past this Post Now
…because I’m not in a good mood. Saturday is my birthday and I’m going to be spending it entertaining people from out of town. They only like to eat Italian food.. not a big deal but if I had to pick where to eat on my bday it would be sushi. Cake: not the kind I like because they probably don’t want Jamocha Almond Fudge Ice Cream cake. Instead we do generic mango...
A Bad Reaction to a Diet - New York Times (Rodarte... →
I don’t think it’s a big deal. I think it’s nice that the Rodarte girls decided to lose weight for whatever reason. Oh, and just so you know, it’s pronounced Ro-daar-tay.
QUESTION
Can I start more than one tumblr from the same account?
flyporter.
verbadjectivenoun: there’s a new-ish airline called porter, who flies daily out of toronto to montreal, new york, ottawa and other east coast places from right out of downtown. they’ve got roundtrip flights on their FULLSERVICE (yes, they even feed you) from Toronto to New York for $300. I think this will be my July long weekend deal. But check out the taxes included in that price: YUCK! Here...

randyhaddock: brooklyngirl: baugher: NYT Reporter who shall remain nameless: Really? The MacAir emails were legitimate? That seemed too over the top to be believable. baugher: Yes, and they were published despite the strong reluctance of one party to the conversation to have any ongoing association with the other party to that conversation. NYT Reporter who shall remain nameless: Would...

“Poor Yahoo. They could cure cancer while tap-dancing naked and I wouldn’t be...”
– Jeff Jarvis (via azspot) Yup, and their portal isn’t great. Most frequent observation by their own readers: why are all the women portrayed white?!
Movies!
I am a movie junkie these days, sometimes watching 7 movies a week! I tend to watch one every night before I go to bed, and find it perfect to unwind. Someone recommended the Italian Job so I’m going to watch it today! This is why I love Tumblr. If you have a movie you think I should absolutely watch, reblog this and let me know!

For the record: I don’t mind if people say “brown people”.. .more often than not, it’s probably more accurate than saying Indian or Asian. And for the second time this week… what is the world coming to?
book club of 1
So the Jane Austen book club brings up repeatedly the idea of reading something that your significant other likes as a way of showing that not only do you like them, but you are interested in sharing things with them. It’s something that I believe in, but I don’t know if that kind of action is necessarily an indication that two people are meant to be or that their union will be a...
Muxtape embedded in your tumblr
wizzninetynine: I’m in love with Muxtape and i thank JSTN for that great service! I spent some hours now to develop a possibility to embed my Muxtape in my Tumblr. Fortunately it works! I guess that JSTN has planned to develop such a function later on, but meanwhile you might want to use my little javascript. To embed it you just need to add the following code to the description of your tumblr...
The Tudors
mascarah: jennibee: Even with all the factual/historical inaccuracies, I’m really excited for the Tudors season 2 premiere tonight. I’m fascinated by this period of history, and it’s fun to see it come to life in a sexy and attractive way- even if I have to suspend my reality and yell at the TV. Even though the first episode has been “on demand” now for over a week, I have been waiting so I...
Movie Watching
Watching the Jane Austen Book Club… is it just me or is the young student supposed to be a Jordan Catalano type?
Stranger
So I was out all Friday running errands and going to meetings all around town, and I stopped and sat outside a coffee shop having a rest and a snack. There were three tables that were quite close together and a man/boy sitting in the middle one. I sat on one end and sipped my coffee and a few minutes later, a woman sat on the other end with her lunch. The man turned to her and said...
This thing looks like that thing
What about judging girls for reading Jane Austen? I have read Austen books but don’t count them among my favourites. Those who do, I would think, are overly romantic but I’m not saying I wouldn’t be friends with them for this. I might join a Jane Austen book club - maybe just to see what’s being said. doree: In Sunday’s Book Review, Rachel Donadio tackles that age-old...
“im more of a jane austen/jane eyre kind of girl” do you have to be one or the other? (other being sci fi)
karaoke
last night i sang living on a prayer at karaoke… I know I was terrible but I had the BEST TIME because of all the people singing along. So fun. These three guys right at the front were rocking out so hard and were totally into the song, AND playing air guitar the whole time and singing along with FAKE MIKES in their hands. It was awesome and just thinking about it makes me smile. All...

I’d really like an invite to Triggit so if you see this and have an invitation code, send it on over please! singhhenna@gmail.com. Thanks!

verbadjectivenoun: rach: My friend Justin devised a brilliant program that lets you create mini mixtapes to pass along to your friends. This is one I threw together in about five minutes. I’ve decided the key to small pleasures is knowing people who can take little chunks of the internet and polish them up real nice. awesome! trying this at work today. i need to get there first.

Monday?
Ugh… eyes burning from too much weekend… on the plus side: 10.5 HOURS UNTIL THE HILLS!
Five things I want to learn
I want to learn 1. to speak better French. 2. all about Art History 3. to play some Piano 4. to use my MacBook properly 5. to forgive… katieschenk: I can teach piano if someone will teach me how to play blackjack. soupsoup: sarahisrad: tumbl-me: 1.

Scary
I can’t watch anything suspensful. It stresses me out and I can feel my hair go white.
When I read mystery novels I always just flip to the back to find out whodunnit.
The best
The best thing about my sister coming to town is when we cook together. So fun and then tasty food to follow!
surf
I’m surfing the internet! I haven’t had time to do this in a while, and it’s amazing the things that are “going on”. I feel more enlightened. Is it ok to say that? Ok, for an hour I caught up on Hardly Working videos. I feel like I “know” a whole new set of people.
Copping out of the ridiculous Fashion Week brunch tomorrow. They asked my friend to...
FW Outsider
My friend who wants to be in the fashion industry: I got invited to a Guess/Marciano fashion show.
Me: Ugh, really?
Friend: Yeah, I rsvp'd but I don't think I'll go.
Me: Good call on that one.
Overheard in Rosedale →
So funny, keep it up, kids!
Yay Toronto!
So I added a whole bunch of Toronto tumblers to my following list. I want to see what my neighbors are writing about. I like: Overheard in Rosedale which I’ll link to in a sec. They are funny as hell and remind me of my times in highschool. It’s also awesome to see a bunch of kids using the Internet for something other than Youtube or Wikipedia.
Fashion Week Kicked My Ass
So I’ve been missing in action because I’ve been at Toronto Fashion Week for the last week. I went to almost every single show and skipped out on some of the ones I knew were crap. This means that I was very tired last night and slept a lot today.
In any case: the argument as always is: does Toronto fashion really matter? And as always, our answer is yes, but lets support it...
People RELAX. It's a Tumblr Hoax.
Phew. brooklyngirl: People keep reblogging this Marco “quote” that unless you reblog a post from someone your following within a month, you’ll automatically unfollow them. Sounds completely antithetical to the tumblr spirit, right? That’s because it is. Seems to have all started with with this post from bjornstar — but if you click the marco link he’s posted, you’ll see that Marco says...
JUST A TRY...
I can’t help you but I know that it can be done for that budge. Reblogging to help ya out. Yayyy Toronto! verbadjectivenoun: i’ll try this on here since i’ve seen a few others do it: i am moving with my boyfriend Andrew to Toronto May 1st and need to find a fantastic place to live. I would like to find a 1 bedroom or 1 bdrm plus den with a max rent of $1450, but preferably something...
Ugh
mascarah: soupsoup:bjornstar:bellavita:marco: We hate comments on tumblelogs, but we want people to discuss things. We thought long and hard and decided to implement an automatic unfollow. If you don’t reblog any posts from a person within one month of following them they will be removed from your list of blogs that you follow. We figure if you don’t have anything to say about their...
