queen-ish

 its both interesting and boring how ones spending tends to go up with income. from binbags to netflix subs, upgrades start to happen. and of course theres the things that did not fit the budget before. more subs! take away sushi! extra handbag! etc. maybe charity donations even? and a TV license. and its difficult to scale down if theres a need to. us humans dont want to give up benefits we've attained.

out of the movies now in cinema i think id like to see Pillion and Marty Supreme.

i got a new tattoo. i think i spent nearly a year thinking about it, on and off. feminism is a big part of me and i want a reminder of it too. and to put my money where my mouth is i made a donation to MSI reproductive choices the same night. day to day feminism is not about money obviously, but i want to try make a difference in various ways. 

last week was unusual. Jamie had brought up the idea of me accompanying him to Toronto, it is a new route for him as a flight attendant. i have friends there, and work was still pretty quiet last week so it seemed doable. it was just a 2 night layover and while im not sure how sensible it is to fly all that way for 2 nights, it seemed like a fun opportunity. and that it was. we met superkev and Hanna both, walked around the city a bit (in snowstorm) and went to CN Tower. but overall, took it easy, ive been there before and he will be there many times more so there was no stress in ”trying to see everything”. also i woke up early both mornings to do a bit of work and slept poorly for some reason so i was not the most energetic version of myself. what was really cool was flying in Virgin’s upper class - it was much nicer than i couldve expected. and Jamie w his colleagues took such good care of me, with champagne and all. also i got to see a bit of the dynamics of flight crews outside the plane, and we sat with the captain in the hotel bar on our first night there - he had interesting stuff to share. and after landing back on Heathrow i got to go to flight deck of the A330-900! that was great!

my upper class table nook with a mini cabinet. 

plenty of space and a huge bluetooth TV. i opened my seat into a bed, put in the bedding, closed the door and actually slept quite comfortably! holy hell its going to be hard to go back to economy after this queen treatment. 

Toronto when we were leaving to the airport.

we had Poutine, too. 

 some facts; 

• two wrongs dont make a right
• better early than late
• if u want time&sweat&sauna proof eyeliner its MAC Liquidlast
• its not worth stressing what to wear for someone elses birthday party or wedding cos in the end you wont remember and neither will anyone else, its not your day (as it shouldnt be)
