Audio Candy

Dear, sweet Pete gave me a wonderful gift the other night.

He stood outside my old apartment and recorded 45 minutes of ambient noise to help me sleep, and generally prove that he's awesome. Did I mention that it was -19 outside?

I used to fall asleep to the sound of streetcars entering the station, drunks heading to/from the bar, cars and trucks and dogs. All of the noise of living just off a busy street. Now I can do it whenever I want.
I'm a damned lucky fool.

Sugar Friends

Call them Sugar Friends. Call them your Cinnamon Fantasies. Call them when you're having a party and you run out of ice or cutlery. They are friends who you can count on to help you do things like drag home scavenged furniture, explore new recipes, eat your leftovers/offer you their leftovers. We all have friends like these, but when they move into your neighbourhood or you move into theirs, something special happens.
Calling all my close friends near and far. Move to Seaton Village and share my sugar.
