Over on Darren’s blog, he made some tag clouds using the keywords that people searched for and then ended up on his blog. I’m always one to steal other people’s ideas ((in my defence, he gave detailed instructions of how to do this using Google Analytics and Wordle, so he was pretty much asking for […] →Read more
Over on Kimli’s blog, I learned about this questionnaire from the Church of St. Mark that will tell you what kind of demon you are possessed by (because, seriously you must be possessed by some kind of demon if you are reading this blog).

I was in the mood to cook something exciting for dinner tonight, but I couldn’t seem to find any recipes that got me jazzed up, so instead I decided to channel my creative cooking energy into baking some bread. I baked some last week, but it turned out too dry, so I went in search […] →Read more

My mom called me tonight to tell me that a childhood friend of mine died. She saw the obituary in the local paper. I don’t even know what to say. I hadn’t seen Mary since high school until a few months ago, when I stayed over at her place on a trip to Vancouver Island, […] →Read more
I acquired a new pair of shoes today. However, it wasn’t my fault AND I didn’t pay for them, so I am not contravention of 2010 new shoe ban, as the exact words of the ban were: “I’ve decided that I won’t buy any news shoes this year, except possibly running shoes if needed.” Hooray […] →Read more
