Old Pine

It has been a busy couple of weeks, my dearest doodlers! I was first distracted by the spectacular Australian coast before returning to Canberra and the real world to start my new job. I’ll undoubtedly do a post about the dolphins, pelicans and beaches at some point, so I’ll leave that for now. Today I want to talk about seasonal déjà vu. Walking home from work yesterday, it was made clear that autumn has hit the ACT with force. It’s […]

My Running Jams: Fall 2012

November 12, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

One of the most common music-related questions I get asked is what I listen to when I go running. I used to find this to be a strangely personal request- how am I supposed to know what exact music won’t make you want to just give up and flop into in a sweaty heap on the side of the road? How will I know what you find motivating? Do you run to the beat? To the lyrics? To the gangsta […]

Sweater Weather

October 15, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Well it’s happened. The temperature has dropped, the leaves are falling, decorative gourds line entrances to grocery stores and I’ve been consuming pumpkin-flavoured treats with gusto. I spent a good couple hours today unpacking my sweaters and sorting through my summer things. Keep, donate, discard- I have packrat tendencies so the vast majority of my attire fell into the first category. I’m so bad that I’ve even developed a clothing “limbo” tote where I keep the clothes I’m borderline about. Every few […]

…And We’re Back

July 16, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Eek guys and gals, I know it’s been a post-less week, but it’s been busy times. Even now I barely have time to get this off… but I’ve been thinking of you, have you been thinking of me? This photo was taken from my backyard back home. If you like the song, it’s free this week on Canadian iTunes… although I never know when their Single of the Week actually starts and ends- so get on it. Also Montrealers! Mother […]
