So many interests, so little time...fashion, sewing, designing, reading, drawing, dressing up, dressing down, playing my flute, Craft club, jumping into puddles, pseudointellectual banter, copious coffee consumption, people watching, art openings, veggie omelets, book club, dancing, talking, laughing, jumping, skipping, playing.
People. Nice people. Interesting people. Artistic and eccentric people. People with good taste in shoes. You get the idea.

I don't watch very much television. In fact I don't own one, but I have a lingering fondness for the Simpsons, Kids in the Hall, Degrassi Junior High, oh and do you remember Twitch City? NO? Why does no one seem to know of that show. Am I the only one who had CBC as my only station?
