This blog is about both definitions — tasty cakes and heart murmurs.  Auscultation is just a fancy word for listening to sounds that organs make. Toronto is an organism. Cities are alive by virtue of the people that build them, use them, live in them, love in them.  If I try hard enough I bet I can hear what makes Toronto click, whirr, thump, squelch. If I figure out what it all means, I’ll let you know.

In the meantime, this is my creative space blog where I can write my NANOWRIMO story of medieval matriarchy and also let everyone know about my favourite book of all time, Twilight. The best love story of the past fifty years.

Sometime, I’ll get back to posting about politics and the news, but right now I’m in school and damn, am I tired of reading the news for media class.
