🌇 #firstsunrise #firstweek #sunrise #whyiwakeearly . It is much more overcast here so it was nice to see the sun rise and blue sky. I also survived my first snow storm this week! I don't have a good frame of reference to know if it was a big or small storm 🌨️ but I learned a few things about winter in Ottawa. People around here carry around shovels in their cars 😳! What happens is when the snow plow goes by, it dumps a whole lot of snow up against your car and you need to dig yourself out in the morning. Thankfully, Canadian Tire sell them and after borrowing my neighbor's shovel ... I now have my very own car shovel and a brand new monster-sized snow/ice scraper. . Snow banks are truly impressive around here. Often taller than a person or a car. Once I'm not running around so much, I will definitely post some photos. We are expecting more snow this week ... finding places to put all the snow is a big problem around here 😓. Stay tuned ... . Meanwhile, all the boxes 📦 are unpacked and stuff is slowly being put away. The cats have settled nicely into their new home. All is progress. Moving is hard work but I think I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel 😴 ... _________ "Hello, sun in my face. Hello, you who made the morning and spread it over the fields and into the faces of the tulips and the nodding morning glories, and into the windows of, even, the miserable and the crotchety – best preacher that ever was, dear star, that just happens to be where you are in the universe to keep us from ever-darkness, to ease us with warm touching, to hold us in the great hands of light – good morning, good morning, good morning." — Mary Oliver . . . . . . . . . . #theviewfromhere #ottcity #ottawa #myottawa #ottawasunrise #yow #urbanphotography #beautifulmorning #beautifulsky #sky #yowsunrise #shareyourweather https://www.instagram.com/p/B8XkNBeBja5/?igshid=vpvphcqrh7x

Awkward Quiz Thing Why Not?

11 Questions:

Rules:

post the rules

answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, then make 11 new ones

tag 11 people and link them to your post

let them know you’ve tagged them

Questions:

1. What is your favourite episode of your favourite television show?

Damn this is hard.  My favorite show AT THE MOMENT is Clone High, and my favorite episode is probably “Raisin the Stakes.”  If you want to see a parody of teen rock musicals with teenage clones of historical figures, you’re in luck.

2. Do you have any pets?

No.  I was so bitter about this when I was younger I started claiming inanimate objects as my “pets.”  The two I recall best were a marble (yes, like a round stone) and a pink eraser I tried to make look like a rabbit.

3. Top five places you would like to travel to?

Out of places I’ve never been:

1.     London

2.     Paris

3.     Australia

4.     Venice

5.     The sites of Concentration and Death Camps in Europe

Wow, that was… Western.

4. Who/what is your favourite mythological beast or figure?

ARIADNE.  SHE IS AMAZING.  Her journey is something more dynamic and three-dimensional than you see in movies and TV today.  She gets her happily ever-after, but first “following her heart” leads her to a world of pain but she’s like the anti-Medea because she moves on and finds love (in a hopeless place).

5. If you found yourself in possession of a time machine where/when would be your first trip and why?

OK, I’ve thought about this before actually, and I’ve actually decided before I did anything “significant” I would attend at least two original Shakespeare productions at the Globe- Hamlet and Midsummer Night’s Dream.  I have no idea what I would think of them, because of the very different acting styles I’m not used to, but come ON I have to try.

6. What are three of your childhood favourite books?

Oh God, Children’s literature is more important in my household than food this is tough.

WESLANDIA!!!!!!!!!  I cannot stress how much I love this book.

Madeline- the whole series.

Go, Dog, Go!- I used to read this book all damn day I was just so surprised by that dog party every time.

7. Favourite dessert?

Rainbow cake.  Always and forever.

8. One of your favourite items of clothing?

Yo, my thin black jacket that has eyelets all o’er it.  I can wear it with any outfit, steampunk or no, and I got it at Bolton’s for like $5.

9. If you were fully in charge of a favourite currently airing television show what would you change about it?

I would take Smash (which I’m way behind on so this is mostly from hearsay), bring back Theresa Rebeck, and make the writers write a gosh-darned television show about theatre instead of people sleeping around and covering pop songs that should be on Glee.

10. Favourite mug?

Probably the one with the name of my dorm, because I won it in a 90s trivia contest.  Skillz.

11. What is a role you would like to see your favourite musical theatre actor take on (or your favourite film

actor if you don’t have a musical theatre favourite)?

OK this is tough but I’m going to go with Audra, and going from there I’m going to with Laurie from Oklahoma!  Her “Out of My Dreams” would kill me, I know it would.

1.     If you were a crayon, what color would you be?

2.     If you were said color, what color would you want to make out with? (credit Sam)

3.     If you found out you were reincarnated from someone famous in history, who would it have been?

4.     Coke, Pepsi, or neither?

5.     Favorite Superhero movie?

6.     Hottest President?

7.     Most overrated show on TV right now

8.     Your birthday

9.     Do you believe in astrology?

10.   Did you like these questions?
