Month: November 2008

Well, that’s all folks! Thank you for riding the NaBloPoMo train(wreck?) with me for a whole month. I guess I’m supposed to say something introspective about blogging in the end, but unfortunately, I don’t really have anything to say other than blogging because you have to is not as much fun as blogging because you…… Continue reading On The End of NaBloPoMo 2008

Went to do some shopping this morning, then came to visit friends and we played games until close to 11pm. Made it home before midnight, just in time to post something to the blog. Phew. That was close! The drive was a little suspenseful with all the foggy patches caused by the warmish weather today.…… Continue reading On Coming Home Late

No Black Friday for me since I don’t live in the States, but even if I did, I don’t think I would go because I’m not a die-hard shopper, I don’t want to risk losing my life in a shopper stampede, and being in a crowded place gives me a headache. Besides, shopping online is…… Continue reading On Black Friday

Is the American Thanksgiving today or tomorrow? Well, either way, happy Thanksgiving. Have a nice turkey dinner while up here we mourn the lack of new TV shows. No new Life On Mars! No new Grey’s Anatomy! Oh noes! Needless to say, it’s a pretty boring Thursday night. But at least we got some Christmas…… Continue reading On Today’s Happenings

We spent yesterday in Toronto. First, we went to visit our friends who recently had a baby. The baby had a big poop while I was holding him in my arms. It was kind of stinky. It’s been ages since I had to smell baby poo. Thank god for diapers that don’t leak. At lunchtime,…… Continue reading On The Day Spent in Toronto

When you make plush toys, the highest compliment you could ever get would come from a kid. Yesterday a little boy called a sock monkey I made the softest sock monkey ever! It made my day and it makes me want to make many, many more sock monkeys. I love making stuff with my hands…… Continue reading On Being Crafty

I’m talking about me, not us. I’m really looking forward to getting paid for a photo assignment I did for a magazine in August. The photos have made an appearance in the magazine but the cheque still hasn’t showed up in my mailbox. Sigh. I just want to start and be done with my Christmas…… Continue reading On Being Broke

After watching Troy play with his cousin’s little boy last night and our friends’ little boys today, I’m kind of hoping that if we ever had a kid, it would be a boy. I wouldn’t have anything to say to a girl because girls scare me and I really suck at being a girl. When…… Continue reading On Boys and Girls

If I have time to write tonight, I’ll write about what Troy and I got at Troy’s mother’s side of the family annual gift exchange. If not, well, just enjoy the photo above which seems appropriate for those who love summer and hate winter (definitely not me). Have a good weekend! [Many hours later…] Well,…… Continue reading On Placeholders

It’s 18 minutes to midnight and I still don’t know what to blog about. Ha! Oh, only 9 more days to go before the NaBloPoMo is over and then my beloved readers won’t have to read my crap on a daily basis anymore. Just bear with me! So. Um. I’ve been experimenting with post processing…… Continue reading On Textures and Boring Photos
