Firdamatic: the Design Tool for the Uninspired Webloggers has been updated. The templates should work just fine in Blogspot-powered weblogs, at least until Blogger decided to change something and break the layouts again.

I don’t know why I’ve been listening to Eli, the Barrow Boy by the Decemberists (mp3) on repeat all morning when it’s making me feel sad and depressed. I truly am a glutton for punishment. Anyway, we went to a book sale in Elora on Saturday and it was awesome. It worth the 45 minutes…… Continue reading Still I Push My Barrow All the Day

So, uh, I let my domain expired because I could never remember the expiration date. Hence the downtime. And I’m redesigning. Hence the lack of update of late.

I’d just like to say thank you for all the birthday wishes in comments and voicemails. That was very sweet of you. You’re the loveliest readers, ever. 🙂 I do feel guilty for not posting earlier, but as you probably have guessed, I’ve been keeping myself occupied with all the photography stuff. It’s all so…… Continue reading Thank You

For some reasons, the picture above was sitting at #2 on Flickr’s Interestingness thingy for April 6 last time I checked. Weird, since it’s not really my most favourite picture from the roll I shot that day. Still, it’s good to know that people like it. Anyway, since I have no picture of birthday candles,…… Continue reading Happy Birthday, Dear Me!

I’m only posting this because, well, it’s too good not to share.

A trip to Tokyo, for example,…… Continue reading Dirt Cheap Fares

My birthday is not until Friday the 7th, but I already got my birthday present from Troy delivered to our doorstep this past Friday. Troy ordered it online and thought he’d have to pick it up in-store, but no. They delivered it, and I was only too happy to receive it. 🙂 It was a…… Continue reading An Early Birthday
