(The Pop Shoppe!, originally uploaded by firda.) So we went to a Hasty Market to get The Pop Shoppe last night. Of course we took the long way, making stops at the bank, Future Shop, Office Depot, and Zellers. We picked up three rolls of film for my pinhole camera at Zellers for $8, which…… Continue reading The Pop Shoppe!

Oh wow, for a weekend with crappy weather, I have so much to tell you. See, on Saturday, after waking up, having breakfast, and playing a few rounds of Guess-the-Google, Troy and I went to a thrift store and I got myself a compact 35mm film camera for $1.50 to be hacked into a pinhole…… Continue reading A Thrifty Weekend

(Snow in April, originally uploaded by firda.) I hate Canadian weather sometimes. See, I have nothing against rain and snow. It may rain or snow at any time of the year. But please, not on a weekend! The picture above is not from winter. It’s from today. Stupid snow.

Go Firefox! It’s good to know that the majority of my visitors see the design of this weblog the way I want them to see it. Geeky readers might be interested in the bottom 4 browsers, so here goes: Netscape 7.x (1.0%), [older version of] Mozilla Firefox (0.3%), Opera 7.x (0.3%), and Netscape 4.x (0.3%).…… Continue reading Today’s Browser Stats

I came across this article a while ago, Your Camera Does Not Matter. Didn’t really read it until five minutes ago, and boy, was it good. I no longer want a better camera now. Well, almost. I still do, but not as much as I used to. You see, it’s not the camera that makes…… Continue reading On Photography

Rock Point Provincial Park is located on the north shore of Lake Erie, south of Dunnville, Ontario, not too far away from Buffalo, New York. We went there on Saturday for our weekly hiking/picture-taking trip. The park was still closed for winter and won’t be open until May. We parked right in front of the…… Continue reading Long Walk, No Opossums

We’re going away for the weekend, down to the boy’s parents place. We’ve been invited to a barbecue type thing in Simcoe (I think) on Saturday, but hopefully the boy would be nice enough to take me to a provincial park/nature reserve/conservation area sometime during the weekend so that I could treat you to some…… Continue reading Away for the Weekend

Have I told you how much I hate “24” the TV show? This show makes me dumb. I always try to ignore it while Troy is watching it but it’s not that easy. Did you notice that Jack Bauer’s back-up/partner/sidekick/whatever always ends up dead? But I won’t get into any more picky details because it…… Continue reading An Eventful Weekend

Last night I dreamed that it was the early morning of my birthday and I was trying out a telescope I got as a birthday present from Troy outside. The telescope looked more like a PDA than a telescope, i.e. you pointed it upwards and you’d see a planetary image on the screen. I was…… Continue reading Odd Dream

If I were a singer/songwriter, I would write a song called “I Believe (There is a Super Patient Man for Every Difficult Woman in the World)”, and I would dedicate it to Troy. It sounds like a fantastic title for a song to me. It would be a folk song, of course, because I like…… Continue reading Your Song
