I could listen to Cat Power singing Lived In Bars all day and night. Of course I would have to stop once Troy is home from work. Don’t want to drive the poor boy nuts just yet. 😉 Anyway, I survived the annual family get-together #1 by eating a lot of peanuts and carrots, playing…… Continue reading Sweet Bejeebus!

Okay, so there’s no such meme as 5 Good Things Friday but I like to be original every now and then. 1. It’s Friday (duh!), meaning soon I’ll get to bug Troy for more hours than on week days. Bugging Troy is fun. Fun == good. 2. I still have three more cameras to arrive…… Continue reading 5 Good Things Friday

Am I the only one in Southwestern Ontario who thinks that it’s a bit too warm for a late autumn yet people seem to ignore it and still dress in layers? I mean, last weekend was pretty warm but Troy and I seemed to be the only people walking around in t-shirts and jeans with…… Continue reading In Which She Complains About the Weather Being Too Warm

At the Christmas party last weekend, I mentioned to the people seated with us that I was Indonesian. Someone said, “Indonesia used to be a Dutch colony, right?” I said, “Yes, for three and a half centuries.” Then they added, “My family is Dutch.” And I was like, ummmm… Should I tell them that the…… Continue reading Blast from the Past

Tonight marks the beginning of the holiday season. Well, for Troy and me anyway.

Ack! It’s a bit too much for…… Continue reading Anti-Social Procrastinator Extraordinaire

I wanted to take pictures of all the fogs but foggy morning in the suburb doesn’t really look all that dramatic so…… Continue reading Not Nice

I haven’t been feeling well for a week or so. Must’ve caught a stomach bug or something. I decided to go on a strict fruit and low-fat/low-cholesterol diet to try to eliminate the problem. I’m feeling better now (here’s hoping I don’t jinx it by blogging about it), i.e. no more bloating, and the best…… Continue reading Feeling Under the Weather

Happy Day-After-Hallowe’en and Happy November! Oh, and if you haven’t already, it’s not too late yet to say “rabbit rabbit”. So, how was your Hallowe’en? Did you get to wear a costume? Carve any pumpkin? I did carve a pumpkin. The plan was to do an Old-Timey Strong Bad but it ended up being, uh,…… Continue reading Rabbit Rabbit

I’d been wanting to have another place to post some web design-related links to because i know not too many of my readers here are interested on the topic. Last night I thought, well, I do have a domain laying around doing nothing but being a waste of cyberspace which is sad because I do…… Continue reading The Return of Book of Styles
