going to om festival for the weekend. woooopeeeeeee. TIG represent!

i am just packing up for kimbercote farm! i've got my firewire hardrive so i can finally finish the vegan cooking show. mike wanna lend me your superdrive?

;)

luckly i have some friends who are in the video art bidniz (www.audiovisualizers.com). thank god for david and erin! they've helped me out so many times. i am pretty sure that david has this multi-dvd burner that can do 50 at a time. sweetness!

for those of you not in the know, the vegan cooking show is a show i made with my friends. this first episode i've been working on all year long! it is my first movie and i am learning more and more as i work on it. i keep on adding new footage and now it is at a mamoth 1.5h's in length. i gotta cut that stuff down, but at the same time i still want more creative funny footage which integrates vegan nutrition and ethics.

being on the farm will be good, maybe i can interview some of the staff about organic gardening? so far i have lots of cooking and interviews. i also taped us doing fresh or free at dominion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am hoping to submit this as a pilot show for the food network, rogers cable, and STAR TV (the long-time toronto pirate station).

so the real question is....
am i going to spend all my time up north on a computer?

HELL NO!!

i am planning on doing lots of hiking, yoga, canoeing, swimming, and labrynth walks. also weed pulling, and creating a mosaic bird bath to honor the native land we are standing upon. it will be in the middle of a medicine herb wheel that will be on the front of the property. does anyone know cool places to get tiles?

this summer is the summer of the mosaic. i will be helping my aunt work on one in takoma park. maybe with this newfound experience the beehive collective will actually answer my emails!

dude.

everything is rapping up and flying smoothly. endings and new begginnings. i ate a cinnamin bun from the chinese pastry shop and i think it had raw egg in the icing and now i feel kinda ill. it is wicked living with parents again 'cause they always have good food in the fridge. i am going rural next year with the rural development program that alex did last year! i am kinda scared, but at the same time i'm sure it will be an amazing life changing experience. i am also super hyped about learning spanish. i wont be in one place long enough this summer to take actual lessons before i go but i think that i'm going to buy one of those cd rom packages and study on the road. any suggestions?

last night zeesy told me that my art was a metaphor for my soul. she had a goodbye party at sneaky dees and we were all so sad to see her go!

WE LOVE YOU ZEESY

you are the film festival princess! viking grrl journalist extrodinair!

this gives me hope
