Bottled Joy?

October 30, 2010

Yesterday, I bought a bottle of Crystal Head Vodka. I bought it because I thought the package was far too cool not to own. Now I’ve read more about the vodka — it’s filtered through Herkimer diamond’s for Pete’s sake — and this morning finally learned what is really inside: “We have this package in [...]

Say Goodnight, George.

October 29, 2010
Say Goodnight, George.

I found this lurking in a folder, something I wrote a few years ago. Sadly I can’t find the image I originally posted with it… but if you’ve ever read the books this will all make sense. Don’t read it to your toddler, though.  (Apologies to H.A. Rey.) Curious George Sleeps with the Fishes The [...]

Fun with Xtranormal.

October 27, 2010

I have no idea whether this amuses anyone other than me but here’s my first shot at playing with Xtranormal: [OK, can anyone tell me why the embed code from xtranormal is xtraflaky?]

Drawn to the Sea

Drawn to the Sea

Whenever I travel, I am reminded of one thing above all others, I love the Pacific Ocean. I need to live near the ocean because, without it, I feel out of place. Even when I lived in England, although I was near the Atlantic Ocean, I missed the Pacific — enough that it was the [...]

UVic LipDub

October 23, 2010

After the "UVIC LipDub" filmed in Spain showed up, my UVic wanted to do better. I didn't take part, so don't try to find me, but, the last building they go into (after the fountain) is the library where I work. It makes me smile.

Double Down on a Dare

Double Down on a Dare

So… I tried the KFC Double Down today; Mike chickened out (har har) at the last minute but still ended up having a bite of mine. From the nutrition information I was expecting it to be greasy and salty — what I wasn’t expecting was that it would be so salty that it would numb [...]

Halloween Approaches…

October 21, 2010
Halloween Approaches…

It’s October… Halloween month… and I am clueless as to what costume I should wear.  Suggestions welcome but bear in mind, if it contains the word “sexy” it’s not going to be high on my list; higher would be comfy. I once went to work in pajamas for Halloween just cause it was comfy. I have to have [...]

I blame the Goods

I blame the Goods

When I was younger, we used to watch a show on PBS called Good Neighbours — many years later, I learned this was originally called The Good Life when it originally ran on BBC. It’s been years and years since I’d seen an episode but a couple of weeks ago, I found the complete series [...]

Memories with their own Soundtracks

October 10, 2010

My week of October vacation started off pretty tense and difficult (we figured out how to deal with the issue at hand, albeit in a round-about way) and then by Thursday, I kicked into Getting Stuff Done in a big way — garden/yard work, laundry, writing, webstuff, and other things. Yesterday we took a much-needed [...]

I’m an Adult Now

October 5, 2010

I’ve been one for a while, of course, but the last 48 hours have felt especially heavy with adutlhood. See, I’m pretty sure that the only trait that really makes one an adult is responsibility — for paying bills, for taking care of dependents, for going to your job. I’m not going to spend a [...]
