It’s been a busy week here at the Fishbowl.
- I’ve been working on a very fun article for Ottawa Magazine. I can’t tell you much about it, but part of it requires that I get my photo taken today. I don’t really like having my picture taken. BUT, lucky for me, the dirty work is being done by one of my favourite Ottawa photographers, Rémi Thériault. It’s been requested that I bring a, um, particular prop (can’t tell you that either) and pose with it for the shoot. Egads. I am thrilled AND mortified. You will get a chuckle when you see it, of that I am sure.
- For the past few weeks I have also been working with the Canadian Museum of Nature communications team. Their new website which will be relaunching in the coming weeks. It’s been an amazing process and I’ve had the opportunity to write about some really fun topics: frogs and birds and fossils. You know how much I love this stuff, right? I was a huge fan of the Museum of Nature before… I am doubly so now! Anyway, five years of construction is finally coming to an end and they’re planning a giant celebration/grand reopening party over the May 22 weekend. Mark your calendars now because it’s going to be seriously spectacular.
- The Festival of Chocolate fundraiser is tomorrow night, and guess what, I don’t know what to wear. I scoured Bayshore last night and came up dry. I did, however, find a pair of jeans. THAT is a whole other post. Trying on jeans is almost as fun as bathing suit shopping, don’t you think?
- I was set to donate blood last night (remember last year’s Valentine’s Day blood drive?) but decided to re-check my eligibility on the website beforehand. Turns out I can’t give blood for an entire year. Punta Cana = possible exposure to malaria. Boo.
- I’m being interviewed on Twitter by some Algonquin PR students at 10:00 this morning. Forgive me ahead of time if I clog your feed. Look up #PRL1555 if you want to follow along.
Off to shower and straighten my hair for the photoshoot. Gah. Wish me luck!
