when ideas become realities

It wasn't long ago that we were sitting in a restaurant having breakfast and brainstorming.

My boyfriend was uninspired by work, and I was thinking about food as usual. He wanted to open up a lounge, but many things were holding him back. We started talking about Hidden Kitchen, a company run by a couple in Paris that serve private dinner parties in their apartment. Inspired by the creative couple, we came up with Hidden Lounge.

With hidden lounge we could serve private dinners, cocktail parties, and have people over to enjoy good company and gourmet food in a comfortable setting.

We could bring together artists, support each other in our work, and have another source of inspiration in our lives.

So far the project is positive for everyone involved. His friends are taking care of business matters and are thrilled of what can come of it. My brother has designed us a beautiful website. My love is finding his passion in cooking again, and I am buzzing with all the creativity going on around me.

Yesterday I took photos for our site, and with the visuals in place we are setting the table for this idea that is turning into a banquet of great things.

ends and beginnings

So much is going on, and I don't dare write a long blog post because I really should be studying for my final exams, but I thought a quick update post was in order.

The love of my life, my mother, stopped by for a quick two day visit en route to France. We went to the grand opening of my aunt's cancer wellness centre in Brampton, danced, clinked glasses, attended one of my lectures together, stopped by my work, ate decadently, and embraced as much as possible in her short stay. I cried in her lap out of stress, sadness and joy, and felt a pang of emptiness when she walked out the door.



While she was here my hairdresser worked her magic and gave me the hair of my dreams. I am a walking advertisement for her extensions, which have made my hair longer and fuller than it's ever been. The only problem is, it's hard to advertise for her because they're so natural looking. Most people just think my hair grew rather quickly. If you live in the GTA and are looking to get extensions, I'll send you to my wonder woman and get you a discount as well.



On a sad note, my broadcast class put on our last show together. We made a huge tribute to our teacher, the nicest man in the world, and finished off with a great show. I was anchor with one of my classmates, and had fun mixing serious news with a news parody.




Other than that, I'm working a lot, studying, moving into the new place, walking the dog, discovering the Dollarama next door to us, and spending a little more time with this guy.



That's all for now, the books are calling me...

Let's Spend The Day Together

I recently did an interview for my broadcast class with electronic artist Andrew Moore. He throws together great compilations using music and everyday sounds to make some amazing mixes. Watch this video to find out how you can help him out on his latest project...
