Early in December, we went to a family gathering type thing and I saw a wall spread showing a happy-looking Santa Claus in a forest surrounded by animals such as deers, a fox, some birds, some bunnies and a grizzly bear. The first thing that crossed my mind upon seeing it was which one of…… Continue reading Naughty or Nice?

This might be only of interest to new visitors coming from the Bloggie site, but for all its worth, take the rather outdated What’s Your Chance to Win a Bloggie? quiz (ca. 2004) or better still, get a blog award from the badly-styled Award-O-Matic (ca. 2003) if you’re really, really bored, and then blog about…… Continue reading Bloggie Silliness

I probably should’ve wished you a happy new year with yesterday’s post but the day was kind of blah (as in grey and snowy) yesterday it just didn’t feel appropriate. Today, however, is sunny and the sky is blue. The kind of day you’d wish other people good things and really mean it, so happy…… Continue reading Happy New Year!

And I’ve got some hits from the 2008 Bloggies Awards already. Apparently the wee blog has been placed in the Hall of Fame for winning the Best Asian Weblog category three times and is not eligible for nominations in that category anymore. Not that I’ve been anywhere near Asia in the last three years so…… Continue reading It’s 2008!

Last Saturday, Troy, our friend Joe and I went to a meet and greet event with Canadian director Bruce McDonald at the Princess Cinema cafe prior to seeing his latest offering called The Tracey Fragments. I wouldn’t call myself a fan of Bruce McDonald, having only seen one of his movies thus far, but Troy…… Continue reading Refragmenting Fragments

Last night I borrowed Troy’s credit card and set up an Etsy shop. I want to sell prints for starters and after that, who knows. Maybe some cards. Maybe even some silly sock dolls. I like making sock dolls. If you’ve been to our place, you must’ve seen my crazy creations, all hand-sewn, meaning messy…… Continue reading Setting Up Shop

When I checked my email for the first time this morning, I got an email notification from USPS telling me that my Diana+ camera had been scheduled to be shipped on 11/19/2007, but evil Lomography got our address wrong. We gave them the correct address when we ordered the camera but of course they had…… Continue reading Sad Day
