Oh Thursday, you are a long, long day for me. In addition to my usual 1.5 hrs of commuting and 8 hours at my regular job, Thursdays this semester involve 3 hrs of night class ((an aside: some of my students told me tonight in class that they’d found my blog. So, if you are […]
I always have mixed feelings on Remembrance Day. Being somewhat of a pacifist and with the invasions that are referred to as “wars” these days, it does make me a bit uncomfortable. But on the flip side, I think of veterans who fought in wars like WWI ((such as my Great Grampa Snow, who fougtht […]
So apparently I spoke too soon. After being retired due to layoffs, then called back to work, then retired again due to layoffs, he’s been called back to work AGAIN! Apparently it’s just an 8 week call back, so he’s been given a “parole date” of Dec 31, 2009, but he’s not 65 until June, […]
So, yeah, this blog posting is one in which I talk about something extremely inconsequential. But it’s NaBloPoMo and the pressure of trying to blog every day is giving me blogger’s block. Just be thankful I’m not writing about my new iPhone yet again! This is the longest my nails have ever, ever been ((When […]
While searching for a name for Bellatrix (i.e., looking at Helena Bonham Carter’s IMDB page), I was delighted to see that she’s the narrator in an upcoming TV movie version of The Gruffalo, which is in post production right now.

So. iPhone. I gots me one. And I named her Bellatrix: Telus started selling iPhones yesterday, but their system crashed so they couldn’t *actually* sell the damn things. Also, I had to throw a fit and threaten to jump ship to Rogers or Bell because Telus didn’t want to give me the promo price on […]
I was getting gas tonight and as I stood there pumping the gas, I looked down and saw this: And it wasn’t mine – my gas cap is attached to my car so I can’t put it down on the ground and forget it. Somebody is going to feel really silly the next time they […]
As you may or may not know, I have a hate on for Telus. I’ve been counting down the days until my indentured servitude three year contact with Telus ends so that I could jump ship to Rogers and get a beautiful, beautiful iPhone. But lo – starting tomorrow, Telus will carry the iPhone! Since […]
In transferring all my files from my old computer to setting up my new MacBook Pro ((which, did I mention, I totally love?)) and playing with iPhoto ((which I love so much that I would marry it, were such a thing legal)) I discovered some pictures that I clearly scanned from pages that I clearly […]
