What the…?

August 1, 2010

A guy came into the subway with the most unusual looking helmet I had ever seen. The helmet appeared to be home made, it had all this artwork on it with an owl sitting perched on it’s nest on top.

I asked him if I could take a picture of it, to which he proudly said yes. If I had more time in the subway I would have asked him why of all things he would put an owl on top of his helmet. I guess it will always be left as a mystery.

Can you identify this insect?

July 31, 2010

Hello Readers,

I need to pool in your entomological expertise in helping me identify this insect depicted in the photograph. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. It is a furry little yellow thing with multiple little legs and distinctively long black antennas. It was found on a tent screen at Bowmanville Mosport race track a few weeks ago (don’t ask me what I was doing there!).

If you can help identify this, let me know!

Finding Information

July 20, 2010

I totally forgot a deadline with the OSAP mafia, and it only occured to me when I was in the bus.  There was no choice but to make the phone call while I remembered.

Unfortunately I didn’t have their number handy on me, so I texted a few people to see if they were in front of a computer to look it up online. I didn’t get a response right away and I didn’t feel like wasting money on the operator so I texted a completely random number…

This is how the conversation went:

Me:

Can u find the number for osap?

647-***-****:

Who is this?

Me:

Vanessa. Are you in front of a computer? can u just find the number?

647-***-****:

I don’t know you are. Sorry.

Me:

How does that have anything to do with finding a number? (at this point, someone else already text me the number)

I found it anyway. Thanks.

647-***-****:

I’m in cottage country. No computer.

When Books Are Cool!

July 6, 2010

Here is a neat way for your books to collect dust. The Toronto Public Reference Library had a pile of books on display in what appears to be shaped like a boot… you decide.

I like how they coordinated the colours together!
