Whatdya mean Valentines Day was 2 weeks ago? Lies. It was yesterday. Due to Nick being out of town, we decided to reschedule Valentine’s Day until yesterday: When I had purchased 2 tickets to see Jonathan Coulton perform at the Rio. So. Awesome. First, we got to experience Paul & Storm, and “experience” is surely [...]

On Embroidery

So Nick & I are learning a new craft: Embroidery. I’m up for just about any new craft (especially one that doesn’t have a huge cash investment required) and Nick wants to learn to add nifty borders to his fighting tunics. As of yet, I kind of suck, but Nick’s attempts have been pretty decent. [...]
Reader Challenge: Answered

So, one of the soap blogs I read (The Sage) recently had a reader challenge to create a milk soap and write a blog post about it. I don’t have the picture yet (I’ll probably wait til Wednesday to unwrap & slice it) but I can write up the rest of my entry now. Precursor: [...]
You’re older than you’ve ever been.

And now you’re even older. And now you’re even older. And now you’re even older. You’re older than you’ve ever been, and now you’re even older. And now you’re older still. He still looks like he’s got pudding for bones, but my he’s getting big. Too heavy to easily pick up now, and that snout [...]
Olympic Fever: Needs More Cowbell

I do not have olympic fever. And that’s okay. I have the occasional “jesus fucking christ on toast” fit of rage, but mostly I’m just apathetic toward the whole thing. My commute is a big bungled, especially since I like to ride into town with Nick, and hop the skytrain back. This usually adds 5-10 [...]

Due to the Olympics, Valentines Day has been rescheduled. To Feb 25, when I have tickets for us to see Jonathan Coulton. Hooray! Regardless, I remain absolutely head over heels in love with that fabulous boy that I share my life with, and I’m so, SO happy that he’s on a plane right this second [...]
Put to a better use

Nick’s been away most of the week, and I put all my free time to good use: My new Kindle-hider, specifically for SCA events so that I’m not the dick with the eBook ruining the illusion. Mmm, crafty!
Anti-Olympics? Don’t mind if I do!

So, the latest trend (and by “latest” I mean I’ve seen various similar complaints about it for the last 7 years — since we lost the stupid vote — but they’ve ramped up recently) is for pro-olympic people to try to tell anti-olympic people to shhh, just have a good time. My general response? No. [...]
In Which I Talk About Poo
February 10th, 2010

So I have this dog, and I feed my dog, and therefore the dog must poop. Everybody Poops, right? We do our daily toddles out to the empty ex-garden across the road, although it’s started so full of trash that I may go back to the old “making burn spots in the grass in front [...]
Just in case you were wondering

I was looking at the “How to be a Canadian” study guide, because I’m curious if I would actually pass the test. (Answer: Egads, probably not. It’s been a while since I took history classes.) Anyway, I found this, and while macabre, it made me laugh: In Canada, men and women are equal under the [...]
