Seven things you probably don’t know about me 5

My friend Neil Lee @ the BeatnikPad tagged with this meme earlier this month. With the “25 Random Things” notes making the rounds in the past few days – I thought that it was time to put together this list. So without further ado:

Seven things you probably don’t know about me:

1. I graduated from High School with a French Immersion diploma. Unfortunately, years of primarily English language employment has robbed me of the ability to speak the language fluently. It does allow me, however, to watch French language films without having to read the subtitles :)

2. When I was 6 years old, my mom gave birth to a stillborn baby girl. So I have a sister that I never got a chance to meet. I actually think about her often and wonder what her life would have been – and who she would have been to me.

3. When I was 12, I was convinced that I would either be a movie special effects make-up artist or an astronaut. These career choices were mostly the result of my obsession with the movies “E.T.” and “Gremlins”.

4. On stormy nights, I really love to lay in bed, shut my eyes and listen to the sound of the rain outside my window. I find it a reminder that I am but a small part of a something much, much bigger than myself.

5. I make fantastic scrambled eggs – seriously they will change your life.

6. When I first saw the movie “The Incredibles”, my eyes actually welled up in tears. It wasn’t that I was sad – I was just so overwhelmed by seeing something that created with such, passion, love and care – something so perfect. (Same thing happened when I watched “Wall-E”).

7. I am an amazing kisser

So lately, I’ve been all mixey-mixey and not so much talky-talky. It’s been a real uphill battle against “end-of-the-school-year-sloth” these past few week. Sigh, it feels as if we haven’t sat down and chatted in ages.

- Caught the Pink Mountaintops show a few weeks back. Good Stuff! Here’s a taste of their stone cold power-moves (complete with out-of-sync audio courtesy of YouTube). I also took some photos, they sucked, so check out Al’s snaps from that night.

- You really should download the Hefty Flossed Out Mix.

- How the hell have I not heard about A Cloud Mireya earlier? Pure sweetness from Scott Heron (Prefuse 73) and Claudia Deheza (on!air!library).

- Really, just how cute is Lily Allen?

- Head over to Daytrotter and snag some Exclusive Sunset Rubdown tracks.

- Mmmmm, architecture – The AIA honours the The Best Buildings of the Year.

- Jenny Lewis rocks my world with one of the loveliest tracks of ‘06.

- “Dazed and Confused” gets the Criterion treatment (complete with the original Frank Kozik film poster).

- Two Hundred pages of PDF design porn – “Candy” is the downloadable mag. to beat.

- Don’t we all really need more Tees + Posters in our lives?

- Stella Im Hultberg is my latest illustrator crush.
