Reasons/excuses: computer problems

By Em | Published: Sunday, August 22, 2010
A factor contributing to my spontaneous blogging holiday has been the on-going problems with my desktop computer. Aka “the pc”. Yes, I also have a macbook,  access to computers at work, and Andrzej’s pc, but let’s just ignore that for now. What’s the problem? I’m appealing to you to help confirm this problem, but I’m [...]

Haven’t done one of these in a while! Found this one online. A – ACCENT: Canadian? I guess Ontarian… I do say “eh” once in a while. B – BOOBS: Fine, thanks. Bigger now due to birth control pill side effects. C – CHORE YOU HATE: Doing dishes. I have no idea why, but I [...]

Long Weekend Update

By Em | Published: Monday, May 24, 2010
It’s been a nice one here, weather wise. Possibly too hot, but I’ll take what I can get. We’ve been relaxing, doing chores, going to movies, you know, just taking it easy. On Saturday, we drove around and found a really nice little public beach along the river. If they’d stop dumping raw sewage into the [...]

‘Sup?

By Em | Published: Thursday, April 15, 2010
It’s been a busy week for me. I was in training all week, learning exciting law enforcement thingys. It was my first in-class training course since I started working for the RCMP. It was pretty cool. I hope I get to do more in the near future. I’ve done a few other courses, but they’ve [...]

Monday Meme – Photo meme

Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive. NO CAPTIONS! It must be like we’re speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words. They must ALREADY be on your hard drive – no Googling or Flickr!

I took a sick-day today. I feel so lame taking a day off, but I do feel like crap. I felt pretty bad yesterday too, but I thought it would look bad taking a sick day on a holiday that the Feds don’t get off. Oh well. This day should fix me up. Some assholes [...]

We’re paying for it, might as well try to enjoy it…

By Em | Published: Saturday, February 13, 2010
We sat through the whole opening ceremonies on tv last night, and that bear was the coolest thing they did. And it was only on stage for like, 45 seconds before they put him away.  What a clusterfuck that was, eh? I mean, the stereotypes were expected and somewhat unavoidable, but where they tried to [...]

home of the flaming dumpster

By Em | Published: Monday, February 8, 2010
So last night was our one week anniversary of moving into our new apartment. Fittingly, we were woken up at 12:45 AM by the fire alarm. I got up to go investigate, A stayed in bed, or possibly didn’t even wake up at that point. I opened the door and actually smelled something burning. I [...]

A Blast from the Past

By Em | Published: Monday, January 25, 2010
I was reading CBC this morning and was suddenly transported back to my undergrad days at Trent University… Bonnie Patterson, former president of Trent University, has been awarded the Order of Ontario.  And why? She “has championed the advancement of high-quality, post-secondary education in Ontario and Canada”. Yeah. That sound you hear off in the distance? It’s me, [...]
