    • My Road-Trip Mix Tape

      • Back when I was in Europe, we would spend and astounding amount of time traveling. Every second weekend we would take a 3 1/2 hour train to Germany and back for the weekend. The trainrides were fun, but on special occasions our parents would come and take us home or pick us up. The drive took about four hours, but we always brought a stash of CD to play - and sing along to!

        Since coming to North America I've come to recognise and vigorously bemoan the lack of travel options close by. Ottawa is two hours, but even Toronto is six, and New York can easily take eight to ten. If you're hitting the road, what would you put on?


        Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk

        Also known as the Witt Family Theme Song, the relentless base will send you flying down the road with the energy revved up to "high".

        All Star by Smash Mouth

        Don't lie - everyone knows the lyrics to this song. Complete with scrunched up faces and gesticulating hands, you realise that you're young, the world is awesome and you have no idea where you might end up.

        Night Time (Is the Right Time) by Ray Charles

        Get in touch with your inner blues diva and belt this out while waiting for the light to turn red.

      • My Timberland Winter Boots
        I've had these for something like four years now, and I'm dreading the day they finally break down. Finding good solid winter boots for Montreal? Tricky. Finding good, solid, pretty winter boots? Makes life just that much more awesome.


        My "Gossip Girl" Knee-High Flat Boots
        Every girl who saw that episode with Serena was forever imprinted with the image of these gorgeous boots - soft grey suede, flat thin wooded heel, above the knee loose-fitting boots. And I found them in Amsterdam for 75 Euros.


        My Tiger-Striped Running Heels
        The shoes I love most are usually boots, as I tend to destroy high heels within a few years. An exception are my lovey Zara tiger-striped heels, which not only have longevity but currently hold the title of "Running Heels" as they are so comfortable I could jog in them. You know. If I jogged.

    • My Soundtrack - Another Plinky Post

      • I get these prompts into my inbox every day, in an attempt to jolt myself into blogging. Every so often I'll find one that I actually like. The question this time was "What three songs are on your summer soundtrack?"


        A Sweet Summer's Night on Hammer Hill by Jens Lekman

        This song just sounds like a Scandinavian summer night, sitting outside in a field with your friends, drinking beers and laughing. I love that the artist brought his friends into the studio to give it the right ambiance.

        Slow Hands by Interpol

        This song is an amazing, high-octane song that I'd love to dance to live.. Like at one of the hundreds of summer festivals?

        Between the Bars by Madeleine Peyroux

        It's evocative of sitting on a stone terrace somewhere, with gorgeous red wine in a carafe, and enjoying the last bit of the sunset.

    • If I were invisible, I'd so geek out.

      • I mean, other than locker rooms, right?

        Also, ignore the f***ing map, it's completely ridiculous and won't find the location I want. According to it, Italy is in Dallas.

        I would love to see how the current world leaders interact - both in the formal meeting rooms and late at night over some drinks. We all know that the decisions announced at the G8 summits are actually prepared way in advance, and that the summit itself is little more than a photo op, but how awesome would it be to see Merkel and Sarkozy or Obama and Brown just shoot the breeze?

    • When you know it's time

      • We've all been there. You're at a house party, a bar or a club, and suddenly it hits you - you have to get out of there. Start the long walk home, grabbing some poutine on the way to soak up whatever you drank in the last half-hour, call a cab, whatever. It's time to call it quits.


        Double Vision
        Once you have to squint and close one eye to get a grip on the room, it's time to leave.


        Your friends have mysteriously disappeared and you're left talking to that sketchy group of guys in the corner
        Being the person who closes down the bar is admirable, but once your gang is gone, you might want to consider the reasons they left.


        Spilling your beer
        Seriously, once you've lost control of that libation cup, your choice is to either dowse yourself completely and declare yourself Poseidon, King of the Sea, or dab it off and call it quits.
