For some reasons, I keep forgetting that Advil doesn’t work on an empty stomach. At least not in my case. I popped two this morning but it didn’t do anything so I spent hours feeling crappy. I kept telling myself to go grab a banana, but I was too stubborn to submit, mostly because I…… Continue reading Forgetfulness

We went to see Capote and V for Vendetta last weekend. Both movies are kind of disturbing and both show how human beings can be so manipulative. I think the Oscar for Philip Seymour Hoffman was well-deserved. His acting was great. Though I wish he got an antagonistic role less often. Well, some people might…… Continue reading Capote and V

Well, it’s only been a week or so, but it’s still a long time. I guess. It’s just that I have been having blogger’s block all week. There’s only one way to break a blogger’s block: redesign! It’s been a long time coming, really. This design has been up for more than a year. I…… Continue reading Long Time No Blog

Summer last year, Troy picked up a Canon Rebel XS camera with a broken shutter curtain from a garage sale for relatively cheap. The person who sold it to him said that it wouldn’t cost much to have it repaired. Liar. I asked around in some Canon photography forums and everyone said that buying a…… Continue reading My Genius Husband

So this year’s International Women’s Day was yesterday. Honestly, it makes me feel uncomfortable. I have no issues with the idea behind it. I just have issue with it being called the International Women’s Day. Why not call it the International Gender Equality Day instead? Calling it the International Women’s Day only makes women sound…… Continue reading Late for the Party

When we went grocery shopping last night, I picked up a fish fillet to be made into some Indonesian fish cake called Pempek. The fillet came from some white meat fish called the orange roughy. I’d never heard of the fish before but I thought as long the meat was white, I should be able…… Continue reading Orange Roughy

Well, we didn’t care enough about the Oscars to watch the ceremony, but reading the winners list is always interesting. And, OMG, MY BOYFRIEND WON AN OSCAR!!! Well, Philip Seymour Hoffman is not really my boyfriend, but Troy always refers to him as my boyfriend, him being my favourite actor and all. We wanted to…… Continue reading About the Oscars®

I don’t know if you have been or even have heard of the Salvation Army auctions but we went to a couple last night. One in Guelph and another one in Kitchener. The auctions were kind of sad. You really can’t compare them to, say, Christie’s or Sotheby’s auctions. In Guelph, there were only, like,…… Continue reading Sally Ann Auctions

Yesterday I came across this compilation of songs from alt. rock bands of the 90s called When We Were Young at I Guess I’m Floating (an MP3 blog). It is an interesting compilation of songs that you can download if you’re interested. I’m listening to it as I type. There are some bands that I…… Continue reading Songs of the 90s

Say, if you were a professional photographer and you were having a major exhibition, would you just swap out your photographs with those taken by people who want your photographs instead of asking them to pay a fortune? Timothy Prus is doing exactly that with his Photo Swap exhibition. What a cool and original idea.…… Continue reading Timothy Prus’ “Photo Swap”
