BAKING/COOKING

I made this brioche french toast with nutella whipped cream and it was spectacular.

CRAVING

Coffee Crisp mini eggs.

EATING

I’ve never loved Oreos, but the maple syrup ones from Quebec are pretty sweet.

EXPERIENCING

Anger at the fact that the new Mississauga Central Library has electronic return boxes outside the entrance. What the hell was wrong with a BOOK SLOT?? A real PERSON used to be on the other side of that box checking in the returns and now that job is nonexistent. I’m becoming Nathan and I’m not mad about it.

LOVING

I’m on a mission to find photos of Square One in the 90s (the mall near my parent’s place) and these photos are making me remember so many things I thought I’d forgotten.

The movie theatre that is now a GoodLife!!

SHOPPING

In love with the Veet waxing strips (the blue box). Will only be using this brand from now on.

WATCHING

Finally watched No One Will Save You because everyone told me how good it was and please remind me to stop listening to everyone. It BLEW.

WEARING

The underwear special at Aerie isn’t necessarily a steal, but I can’t think of a better place within that price point.

You can read last week’s Winter Wednesdays Volume 3 over here.

From September 6th to October 3rd, a Floating Library is coming to the Lilac Museum Steamship, located at Tribeca’s Pier 25 on the Hudson River. According to the press release, the library will be a “mobile device-free salon for reading, writing, research, debate and fearless dreaming created by artist Beatrice Glow.” Two years ago she also transformed the Lilac into an Aquarium from Austronesia.

The ship was built in 1933 and the last steam-propelled lighthouse tender known to exist in America. Even though it’s officially on the National Register of Historic Places, there will be lots of programming and space differentiation on the boat for Floating Library. The main deck will be an outdoor reading lounge, with a curated collection of books and manifestos from underrepresented writers and poets. The collection will go to a high school in need after the Floating Library ends.

There will be art installations, including “paper rope swings” (?) and works by sound artists, along with performances, discussions, and workshops around issues like sustainability, community engagement and the maker culture. Does this not sound cool as hell?

Here’s a map of how the boat will be transformed.
