Cubadabababa… I’m Lovin’ It

Well, this is fairly overdue, but hey! I thought it’d be fun to share my spring break adventures to Cuba. So I heard that Calgary was cold when I was gone, and it just made my trip so much more gratifying. Okay, apart from that, I had a super fantastic time because my best friend…

Photo of the day – the Chicago “Bean”

I had the privilege of touring the glorious “Windy City” for one wonderful day, two summers ago. I have to say that the highlight of my trip was visiting this giant metallic bean, a stainless steel artwork which reflects the Chicago skyline.

Better in Britain?

Despite past trips to various parts of America and the Caribbean, I was happy to finally visit a country with some cultural difference.

Video of the Day: Time Lapse Beard

Lately I’ve been really interested in “time lapse” art – a series of either photos or short video clips taken over a period of time and then shown as a collection in quick succession.

So soft and plushy

It’s about as natural as the call of nature after a large slushy… if it’s the beginning of September and you’ve been on summer break, you start thinking of going back to school.
