welcome home, internet! in the absence of the internet this week we’ve had to learn a few things all over again, like how to use a phone book, that the world existed before googlemaps, and that Rogers will totally let you down all the time every time until you ask for a *supervisor*. Lessons learned!

Extra lesson? Before you move write down the number of your internet provider *somewhere*. Otherwise, when you are lacking internet access you’ll be hard pressed to find the number ot call to fix it. Thank god for work.

Also, we have kittens! At first there were six and then we realized how ridiculously stupid that was because one of us couldn’t breathe and our apartment looked like some sort of pet store war zone. Now we have three. Never try to narrow down your absolutely adorable group of six orange cats *after* you already have them. It’s impossible. It all went down something like this:

me: ok kitties! I am going to put you all in the middle of the floor.
kitties: guh.
me: ok! please make two piles of three kitties each!
kitties: playing with toys. running around in packs of two and four. hiding under moving boxes.

no piles of three kitties are made.

me: sad.

but now we have Iris, Olive and Ducky. And they are awesome.

p.s. wolf parade rocked!

Internets! I have missed you! We don’t have internet at home yet, due in part to a faulty cable and a technician dude who thought it would be totally ok to RIP the cable off of the freshly painted heritage mouldings – a move which made me promptly contemplate throwing him off one of our third floor balconies. I reconsidered only because he was the only chance i had to get the internet back at the moment, and well, who throws that away lightly? Then he took the window screen out, didn’t find what he wanted and had a bit of a hissyfit and left, leaving me to figure out how to put my screen back in again. I hate cranky service people. HATE them. I hope that guy’s internet access doesn’t work for days on end and he gets a cranky technician who comes to pretend to save him from real life.

I can’t believe how crazy hot it is here today. Thank GOD our new apartment came with A/C. We are going to be needing it tonight. That and a whole lotta popsicles.

Even in the heat though, I am itching to get crafty. So many projects! So much new studio space! There will be more soon. And more china. I have totally slacked off in favour of packing and unpacking boxes and cursing my old tiny dark apartment. There is no going back, now. I love it!
