Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero – “Seize the Day, trusting as little as possible in the future” – Horace
I feel now, as I think I’ve always felt…you need to live for THIS day and for THIS moment. Don’t only fill your life with plans that are months and years and decades away. Travel NOW. Go to that movie on a weeknight.

So, I’m a big fan of lists. To-do lists, present lists, goal lists, what-to-do-to-change-your-life lists, etc. I’ve got a load of them and don’t actually complete most of the tasks on said lists, but it just feels good to have them to reference.
I saw this list yesterday, and think it’s phenomenal…

And on that note, here’s my 2012 trick or treating haul! 🙂
This morning I received an email from my dad telling me that I had to check out this New York Times Opinions blog his friend Karen had sent him. And wow – it was so, so worth the read. If you think you’re “too busy” for this and for that, give this a read and I’m sure you’ll figure out you’re not. Yes, you do have the time to read this now.
Adam Yauch aka MCA, one-third of the greatest band that has ever made its way onto my radar, the Beastie Boys, passed away on May 4, 2012 after a valiant battle with Cancer. I have been reading page after page after page of tributes to the late MCA and I am truly touched by what I’m reading as there is just so much love out there for what he was, what he stood for and what he meant to so many people’s lives.
Took a double-take at this truck in Calgary, Alberta yesterday and just had to snap a pic. Umm…redneck really???
Edited to add: Maybe it is ME that is the typical Albertan busy snapping photos while tailgating. 🙂

Review by One Fly Chica
“We Need To Talk About Kevin” is an earth-shattering, mind-bending and life-changing film.
It has been years since a film disturbed me, excited me and attacked my every emotion as deeply as with “We Need To Talk About Kevin”. I saw the movie three weeks ago, but needed to go see it again because it was just THAT good. This film is a cinematic masterpiece on all levels and I highly recommend taking two hours of your life to be shaken, rattled and rolled.
It was the LACK of talking about Kevin that left both the characters and audience alike wondering just what hit them…
