Outdated Opinion of Emilio Sosa's Signature Print Dress

So this is my opinion of Emilio Sosa's signature print from Season 7 of Project Runway. I know, I know that was so last year, but I've only just watched it. I have to disagree with the judges' oohing and aahing over the print and the dress. The print looks like those bags that tourists buy upon leaving a new city. Oh and I didn't notice this but apparently it resembles a Louis Vuitton print as well, but I doubt it was intentional, and I don't think they really are that similar.

My Favourite Sandwich

This is an ode to my favourite sandwich ever, apart from a hoagie, but I will talk about hoagies another time. There is something magical about a salt & peppered slice of sweet, juicy tomato from the garden, topping a melted slice of aged cheddar on rye bread. These ones came from a tomato plant left by the previous tenant at the (beautiful & oh so missed) loft in Kitchener last November.

Let me also make a note that mass-produced tomatoes are ok in a pinch but their flesh tends to be hard. I was cutting one up the other day and it sounded like I was sawing through celery! Another good indication of a good tomato is how it smells on the shelf. If it smells like nothing, chances are it will be tasteless.

 

My Motorola Droid AKA Milestone Unboxing

Last November I put a few bids in on a Motorola Milestone, Canadian edition on eBay. I'd had my eye on the Milestone ever since it was rumoured in 2009, but was waiting for my cute little Sony Ericsson to break before getting a new phone, and joining the smartphone craze. I wasn't too concerned about having to wait, because of cheap build quality and my suspicion that cell phones are designed to break within a couple years of purchase. My own phone had been sent in for repairs a few times, relating to keyboard keys not always functioning, and I finally took matters into my own hands and ordered a new keyboard for my Ericsson, installed it myself, only to find out it did not fix the problem. Not only that, but I must not have re-installed the vibrating unit properly, because the phone would no longer vibrate. Anyways, so I caved and searched out Droids on eBay, and had a nice transaction with Wes in BC. 

It has been serving as my only camera since mine broke, and I returned the one I was borrowing for pictures of Europe.
