Santa Cruz Island — June, 2013
CLOUD is a large-scale interactive sculpture created from 6,000 light bulbs, new and burnt-out. Constructed by Calgary-based artists Caitlind r.c. Brown and Wayne Garrett, CLOUD was on public display for one-night-only during Calgary’s first Nuit Blanche Festival. As part of the process of creating the sculpture, the artists collected burnt out incandescent light bulbs from local households, businesses, museums, and eco stations. The idea was to create an informal collaboration between the community and the artists, reduce costs, and experiment with the potential of items post-use.

Weekend brunch: quinoa-crusted asparagus, pesto and goat cheese quiche
As I’ve mentioned before, I follow many food blogs and I’m always looking for new recipes to try on all of these blogs. I often come across interesting and unique recipes on the Closet Cooking blog, which is where I found the recipe for this quiche (click on the photo to link to the original recipe).
I really liked the idea of a quinoa crust to make a healthier version of a quiche; it turned out to be delicious, and incredibly easy to do. I only made one modification to the original recipe (which was to delete the addition of artichoke) and I loved this! It was so delicious! I think it would be a great dish to serve for brunch, or, in my case, to bring for my work lunches!

Most things in life can be solved, simply, with graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate. You can quote me on that.
“You’re so hot and you taste amazing… let’s go back to bed.”
My thin-walled neighbor thinks I’m Don Juan but I just really love my morning coffee.

Things to Remember
- Isolating yourself makes you feel worse, even if it feels safer
- The people that love you will not suddenly stop loving you
- The people that love you think highly of you, even when you don’t
- Even the worst feelings will eventually pass or lighten
- You are not completely alone even if you’ve always felt that way
- The purpose of getting better is to break out of old patterns and roles that have become destructive
- Being honest about how you feel will not result in rejection
- There are people you can trust, even if you need to be reminded
- At your most hopeless, you can still come back
- Don’t believe the voice that tells you you’re weak and incapable is telling the truth
- You are still yourself no matter how much shit gets piled on top of you
- You are still yourself no matter how bad you feel
- You are still yourself and that self is resilient and strong
