Bundle Up, Toronto

joey di sera
It’s COLD! And WINDY! Something I don’t mind about the winter, though, is coming in from the chill by ducking in someplace warm and cozy after work to meet up with people over food and bevs. Tonight was cocktail night at B Espresso on Queen Street East, a place recommended by the irrepressible [...]

I watched a demo of video editing on a laptop computer projected onto a large screen this evening, to get a feel for the editing process I’ll be working through after our film gets shot. I’ve done small-scale video editing for my own clips that I put on my website, but I want to learn [...]

Me, Not Cleaning

I’ve been on a roll for the past three days, cleaning and rearranging and tidying up my apartment after work when I’d much rather be processing photos or writing about the trip to Morocco or pretty much anything else. But, I’ve got a momentum going and I can’t stop now or I’ll never finish. This [...]

OK Go - Here It Goes Again

This looks like a lot more fun than running on the treadmill, doesn’t it? OK Go can also be found here.
This musical diversion brought to you by The Best of YouTube podcast, and TTC delays.
In recent days it seems like I’ve been held hostage by the TTC with crawling subways, streetcars not evening showing up [...]

Merenid Tombs, Fez

The light was unusual that afternoon, especially around sunset. View larger.
When I was a kid, I read a lot. (All three of us did.) It was because I couldn’t go anywhere — my parents didn’t have the money to travel, so reading was the closest I got to travel. But I always felt that reading [...]

Vegetarians, Look Away!

You may recall on Day 3 in Morocco I mentioned some Moroccan delicacies such as sheep’s brains being cooked up in the food markets — fresh! — right before your very eyes. Well, here are the visuals for any interested parties with a bit of a cast-iron stomach:

Marrakech: I wandered around some food stalls in [...]

Friday night I had a hankering for sushi. If only I could’ve transported myself to Vancouver for some Samurai sashimi! The sushi we had in London was good, but after a week of Moroccan food and five flights of airline food from Ryanair, Easyjet, and Air Canada, I was more than ready for fish again.

The hardest-working Moroccan has got to be the donkey, it’s always overloaded.
If you’re wondering where the Morocco photos are, I’ve been trying to rejig my entire photo library because I shot mostly in RAW format and my hard drive is nearly full. So I’m transferring my Iceland photos over to an external drive and moving [...]

Kinetic Sculpture

This morning I was stuck on a delayed subway for about 45 minutes with no reading material. Watching movies on the iPod Touch made the time fly. This is one of my favourites.
Theo Jansen is the Dutch creator of what he calls “Kinetic Sculptures,” where nature and technology meet. Essentially these sculptures are robots powered [...]

Accents on Toronto 6

a crappy-cam picture of the comedy lineup
The House of Fielding’s been rather hectic lately, since the conclusion of the Morocco trip. Haven’t had much time to process photos, write, or even do laundry — and we all know I’d rather do the first two things before I’ll do laundry. Last night I joined a second [...]
