Where the Walls are Soft…

… and the freezing off of certain appendages…? That’s about how cold it was in the Sault yesterday morning. March 31, 2007 – 7:07 AM It looked so nice out, that I thought it would be a good time to go out on a Walk-About, and play with the Not-Crappy Cam I now have in place of the [...]

Just for one year I would like April to have no snow. Just once. 5:50 pm 7 Minutes Later 27 More Minutes Later

My mom entered an Easter Bonnet Contest with the bonnet Kyla made for her… She won first prize! I think it was the hummingbird that won it… We went to my brother’s for Easter dinner, so I made an Easter bonnet for myself… mind you, mine was a little less…. ummm…. elaborate. Then again, I didn’t win any prizes, [...]

One Year and Counting… and… I stole this from OldGuy (and our brains are the same!!) I always suspected you were a whack-job, OldGuy… Your Brain is Purple Of all the brain types, yours is the most idealistic. You tend to think wild, amazing thoughts. Your dreams and fantasies are intense. Your thoughts are creative, inventive, and without boundaries. You [...]

Kurt Vonnegut: 1922-2007 It (almost) never fails when discussing favourite authors, that I discover that pretty much everybody on the planet has heard of Kurt Vonnegut, but if pressed hard enough, will eventually admit that they never actually read anything by Kurt Vonnegut. Come on, really?! Slaughterhouse 5 was assigned reading in one [...]

Let’s All Hate Toronto. …and all this time we thought it was the Sault that the rest of Canada hated. Random Song for the Day: “Polyester Bride” – Liz Phair Pssst! Happy Birthday, OldGuy!

“Knowing it’s gone makes the memories more bitter than sweet.”Kyla came home from school yesterday with her book order: her very own copy of A Bridge to Terabithia. She’s read school copies several times already, and seen the movie in the theater three times now. She rushed in at 3:30, dropped the [...]

Louie took my camera away. Something about his Very Significant Other and Mexico (Damn, but I hate it when people go to Mexico without me! Don’t I, Suzi?). It’s all good, though. I got pissed (”How do you expect me to work without a camera?!”), and stomped down to the mall yesterday and bought [...]

“He’s a foreigner. I think he’s probably Samoan. But that doesn’t matter, though…” We went to record the sound for a commercial – a 45-minute job. I think I got home two and a half hours later. First things first…. we got lost. Well, we weren’t exactly lost lost – we knew where we were. But [...]

Something came along/happened/was said that slammed me back about six years. I’m kind of in a box now, and I haven’t slept very much since. I have things that need to be figured out and I haven’t got a clue how to go about it. I know this will somehow “work itself out”, as [...]

“Sometimes, I just cut out the middle step and stole beer instead.”I have been forcibly “de-funkified”. I really should thank Carol for doing it with her nasty comments (and even nastier private emails), but I’m not quite ready to do that, because, truthfully, I don’t think I’m quite ready to be “de-funkified” at [...]

I think it might be, because the smell outside my window smacks unmistakably of what can only be described as “Old Cat-Box”. Nasty analogy, I know, but there you have it. And the weather has finally been fine long enough for me to trust it. Which may be a mistake… This is Canuckia, after all. [...]
