Spring Forward

Amazing collection of stuff piling up over the last couple of months. Spending more time outside with all senses in gear, which (hopefully) means more consistent 'reportage'...here we go:

[Creatively Speaking]
Sauna pants. I honestly don't know what to say about this. it just is.

On another note, saw this in NYC, fun idea for daily scribbling: http://www.simplediary.com

[Geek Chic]

Bespoke Bikes - yes please.

[Words]
Read 'The Last Crossing' by Guy Vanderhague, took awhile but realized I saw every detail he wrote once I gave it the right time and attention.

Have 'The Amazing Absorbing Boy'on the go by Rabindranath Maharaj. Story of a Trinidadian teen who moves to Regent Park, Toronto.

'Solo' by Rana Dasgupta is up next, hopefully will be warm enough to read in the hammock.

[Sounds]
The latest from James Blake, Beastie Boys, Lykke Li, Esparanza Spalding and Amos Lee all taking turns.

[I spy]
While window shopping in NYC, spotted the work of Sean Slaney. Can't find much else on him, yet.

[Opinions]
Election Day was a dark one this past month - lest we forget here's a site to keep bookmarked: http://100reasons.ca/

[Yum]
Had a nice meal at Domus in Ottawa last week, all locally-derived ingredients and interesting combinations. The mushroom bisque was a standout.

Looking forward to trying Su Shian Yuang, a vegetarian Vietnamese resto here in mtl.
