photo tag overdue

Ok... not sure where the time went... and this is so long overdue! I was tagged by The Lost Earring ages ago with this cute little game.... I am so bad at these things.

The rules of this photo tag game:

1. Open your first photo folder. 2. Scroll to the 10th photo. 3. Post the photo on your blog and tell the story behind it.

Ok... so this photo is not of anyone I know... it is of total strangers and is dated from 2004 taken while walking through Stanley Park one day. Anyhoo, in this park there is a site with numerous totem poles that are always surrounded by gaggles of tourists. We decided to join the massive tour groups, blend in and snap lots of pics of everyone... it was quite silly. Now I have half a dozen photos of strangers in front of totem poles. I wonder if the girl in this photo will see this?

too much information

How fun!... I was tagged by kate8085 of Where Eagles Dare (thanks!) a few days ago in the theme of eight , and thought what a great way to share some random facts. So to accompany the random lists is a flashback image of one of my old random collages (circa sometime in the 90s... eek!) so here goes...

8 things I am looking forward to:

· seeing my hubby when he gets home from work everyday

· going camping this weekend... yay!

· getting a new high end printer, so that I can start making art prints

· going on our next big foreign vacation (went to Vietnam this year, next one is still tbd)

· the release of Where the Wild Things Are movie

· sleeping in on weekends

· starting a little family

· buying a house with a porch one day, with a separate studio and small yard for a garden

8 things I did yesterday:

· worked on more collages

· worked on an illustration and cd design for a client

· tended to the garden (it's a patio garden, so that didn't take very long)

· one load of laundry (whites) in our new machine that I am obsessed with.. yay front-loaders!

· online banking

· listened to Lykke Li

· dug out some camping equipment for the weekend

· went for tea at the local coffee shop with my hubby

8 things I wish I could do:

· travel all the time

· live past 100

· speak french fluently

· play the drums like a superstar

· be a better swimmer

· eat whatever i wanted and not gain any weight

· cook like a chef

· do big air tricks on my snowboard

8 shows I watch:

· It's Only Sunny In Philadelphia

· The Hour (with George Strombopolous - love him!)

· Flight of the Conchords

· 30 Rock

· Lost

· Gossip Girl (yes, it's a bad guilty pleasure)

Hmmm... perhaps that was all too much information. Do you have a random fact you'd like to share? ;)
