That’s my dad, my older brother, and me. I think this photo was taken in 1973 when I was only several months old. I still wear that pissy look every now and then. Okay, so I always wear that pissy look. It didn’t take me very long to lose all faith in humanity. I still…… Continue reading The Wayback Machine

I wonder if I’m the only weblogger in the world with a titling problem. I always find coming up with a weblog post so much easier than coming up with an appropriate title for the post. I guess it mostly has something to do with the nature of my posts. I have a short attention…… Continue reading Do You Really Want a Title?

So we went to see the new Harry Potter movie today. We got to the cinema an hour before the show. The cinema doors were still locked (we were going to the matinee), but there were already people sort of lining up to get in. Anyway, we were lining up behind these four early teens…… Continue reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

We’re getting the first serious snow of the year today. We already got some not-so-serious one last week. Basically. serious snow stays on the ground while not-so-serious snow melts as soon as it touches the ground. I love snow, so I don’t mind it at all. And at 0°C, it’s still pretty warm. Mind you,…… Continue reading Let It Snow!

So I just spent half an hour watching Rick Mercer Report on CBC and laughing at all the Canadian inside jokes being thrown throughout the show. All was good with the world, until I heard the Coronation Street theme song playing, which could only mean one thing: change the channels! It would be a very…… Continue reading Wanted: Channel Changer

Because Dave asked for it, here’s a picture of the Socks. On the top row are Stripey Sock, the self-conscious monkey whose eyes keep falling off, and Troy Sock, who’s supposed to look like my husband Troy but actually looks more like what Michael Jackson might look like before all the plastic surgeries. On the…… Continue reading Meet The Socks

Dude! I haven’t even been away for a month yet. I was just taking my annual leave from blogging. It was really sweet of you to miss me, though. I feel special. 🙂 So, how have you all been? Have you been good? I’ve been keeping busy. I’ve been taking a lot of pictures, doing…… Continue reading Alright, Alright, I’ll Post!

— I’ve been hating bedtime because I keep having trouble sleeping. Last night was a one off. — The maple tree in front of our apartment is STILL all green and bushy! — We’ve been keeping all the windows in our apartment closed for a couple of weeks now or else I would freeze. –…… Continue reading Totally Random

Today is my nephew Emir’s 3rd birthday. I wish I could be in Indonesia to celebrate it with him. I remember the day he was born like it was only yesterday. Oh the days he, my mother and I spent together when he was a wee little baby while his parents were at work! It…… Continue reading Happy Birthday, Little Emir!

The long, Thanksgiving weekend is coming up and Troy and I are going down to Troy’s parents place to spend the weekend there. Originally, we had a circus to go to this weekend, but they cancelled the show, which was kind of disappointing. My consolation was that at least the fall fair would still be…… Continue reading Autumn Is Better Than Fall
