I kept asking Troy if there was any places in Canada offering igloo building courses, because if there was, I’d like to sign up. He just thought I was weird. So I decided to search for igloo building courses on Google today and found that there are at least two companies in Canada offering an…… Continue reading Fun with Igloos

Having a new computer, I had to do a fresh install of all my favourite software, including Firefox. While Firefox is good on its own, I was so used to having all the additional features that Firefox extensions provide that my life felt incomplete when one of them was missing. It may sound overdramatic, but…… Continue reading 5 Firefox Extensions I Can’t Live Without

Came across this t-shirt at Threadless a couple of days ago and it made me laugh because, well, I can’t use chopsticks! Every time we go to an Asian restaurant, we always have to ask for a fork and a spoon. Most of the time, they think the fork and spoon are for Troy since…… Continue reading I Can’t Use Chopsticks

Nothing can make me feel more grown-up than sitting in a dentist’s office, waiting for Troy while the oral surgeon molested his mouth this past Friday. Mind you, they stated clearly that only a responsible adult may accompany a patient who is undergoing a surgery. I hope I did look the part. I had two…… Continue reading Tooth Fairy Was Here

So, what are the TV shows you’re looking forward to the most this fall? I’m only looking forward to Lost and Grey’s Anatomy. Sure I watch more than just two shows but I’ve taken shows like Law & Order and CSI for granted. They always return. I don’t think I’m a TV junkie because I…… Continue reading Not a TV Junkie. Or Am I in Denial?

I happen to be one of those people who like the [this is good] feature on Vox. As mentioned in the Team Vox blog when the feature was released, it was meant to add “the ability to tell someone you like something of theirs, without the pressure of having to write a comment or think…… Continue reading How to Add Quick Props Feature to Your Blog

I upgraded my Movable Type installation from version 3.2 to version 3.31 yesterday. For some reasons, the upgrade killed Markdown and Smartypants. I’m anal about typography so that was unacceptable. So I downgraded back to version 3.2 and I got my curly quotes/comma and dashing dashes back. Yay! Happiness! 🙂

We’re already halfway past summertime but it’s no reason not to put up a summer music mix. I made a mixed CD worth of around 6 hours of music (if not more) for our cottage weekend two weeks ago. I compiled the songs by going to the Hype Machine and checking out some songs I’d…… Continue reading Summer Earworms

A couple of weeks ago, our 6 years old computer started to freeze randomly. It was still bearable at first but then it happened more and more frequently to the point of being annoying. (Gotta love me for still blogging during that painful period!) Well, it annoyed Troy more than it did me, to be…… Continue reading New Machine

My mother passed away exactly three years ago today. There is no day passed that I didn’t think about her. There is so few things left to do for people you love who have passed, if any. It’s kind of frustrating. All I can do every year on the anniversary of her passing is do…… Continue reading Three Years Without
