About

Scott and I passing time at the Picadilly Pub, summer of 2006.

I’m Brandy. The one with the tambourine.

I live in colourful East Vancouver with Scott, the one on the left. This isn’t a relationship-centric blog, but he’s bound to come up in conversation.

What kind of blog is this, anyway? I couldn’t tell you. It’s genre-resistant. I don’t like sticking to central themes, and since it’s my name in the address bar, that’s just how it’s going to be. Sometimes I’m topical, and sometimes I’ll write a love letter to my dishwasher. I contain multitudes. I’ll try to make it fun for you. I’ll organize it.

If I’m mostly just rambling about what’s going on in my life, it’ll be filed under Life.

I love inanimate objects. A lot of them make my life easier. Sometimes I write love letters to them. I file those under Objects.

If I’m harkening back to the olden days, I’ll call them Memories.

My boyfriend is in a band, and I go to shows now and then. Anything relating to that aspect of my life goes under Music.

We’re learning Japanese, and I’m trying to teach myself Danish. Anything I post that has to do with our struggles to pronounce non-English R’s is filed under Languages.

When I have the time and motivation, I like to make adorable lunches. The hobby has kind of fallen to the backburner, but when I get cack to it, I’ll post in Bento.

Scott plays guitar with The Orchid Highway, a band that figures heavily in my life. I first met these guys years ago, originally through their drummer. We’ve had adventures; midnight badminton, flaming couches, a broken hot tub at South By Southwest, going out for ice cream in a milk truck.

I divide my time between a variety of passions, like Canucks games and local music and taking pictures and hanging out with other peoples’ cats. But my biggest deal right now is my comic, SkyBlazer 7. It’s a story that I’ve been sitting on for years, never confident enough in my drawing skills to feel like I could pull it off. Last summer, I decided to do it anyway. I got one page done, hated it, and didn’t get around to doing the second until this January. I’m still, how you say, quizzical of my artistic abilities, but I’m seeing improvement and it encourages me to keep going.

I haven’t officially released it to the public, but it’s up for everyone to see nonetheless. Check it out if you’re into that kind of thing.
