Gigantic sparrows at the Olympic Village
Today there were gigantic sparrows at the Olympic Village.
And then there was a giant inflatable beaver.
That line may be the best way to end all stories from here on out.

Dusk before ten
Still (relatively) new to the West Coast. Still find it bizarre that it’s now almost 9:30pm and it’s not even completely dark out. It’s dusk before 10pm. I find that out of this world.

Conversation snippet: Lilies-of-the-valley
“I love lilies-of-the-valley.”
“Hm. They’re poisonous, you know.”
“I like smelling them, I don’t plan on eating them.”
“It was in my poison book. They have it listed there, with all the information and everything.”
“Hm, I don’t know about you, L. . .”

Calamondin tree
I’ve always wanted an indoor citrus tree. This past weekend, I got one. Sweeeeeet.
It’s a calamondin tree! Kim, Corene, and Ari named it Colin. At regular intervals, we’d say, “I/you got a tree!” I still have that chanting in my head now, except to the tune of I’m On A Boat.
After I dropped the ladies off, it rustled in conversation from the backseat.
Hello, tree! It’s already budding, and originally had three fruits already ready. I’ll let you guess what happened to the third one.
I won’t let you guess for long. Kim texted me asking if I’d tried the fruit yet, so I did. I like!
I have a tree!
Curling badassery
I discovered curling during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, and man, I am all over this sport.

New Year's Eve 09
Many thanks to Ari and Corene for hosting a fantastic New Year’s Eve high tea. Grand mistresses, I salute thee.
Our lovely hostesses.
Bunnies.
That is all.
Ari, Kim, Corene, & Chantelle. After three times taking their pics and a certain someone blinking in each and every one (you know who you are), they decided to all close their eyes in solidarity.
Aaaaaand then we have to have a dog in a scarf.
I mean, it’s a given.
