where the hell is matt?

By Em | Published: Thursday, June 26, 2008
In a carefully disguised Stride Gum ad, that’s where he is! I probably should let you find that out for yourself though, but I’ll save you the let down. While I was watching this, a few things came to mind, in this order: Aw, this is great. The music is kind of getting to me. [...]

the day after

By Em | Published: Tuesday, June 24, 2008
So I made it through another birthday. It was actually pretty awesome. I usually approach it with great pessimism – no one will remember, no one will care, I’ll end up feeling old and lonely, etc. I was pleasantly surprised this year, and it all came down to having some amazing friends and possibly my [...]

goodbye 25

By Em | Published: Monday, June 23, 2008
This was the sunset over Ottawa tonight. Quite pretty. I’ve been trying to remember what I was doing a year ago. I was trying to do school work, but was suffering from a horrible case of guttate psoriasis for which I was just about to start daily UVB light treatments at Ottawa Civic. I went [...]

Ottawa Fringe Festival, doggies, etc.

By Em | Published: Friday, June 20, 2008
It’s a decent time in Ottawa right now. There’s tons of stuff going on. I wish I had more time/money/energy so I could take more of it all in. The stage is going up at Parliament Hill. I’m assuming that’s for the Canada Day celebrations? I’m not too excited about the concert stuff, but I’m [...]

one state at a time

By Em | Published: Monday, June 16, 2008
I try not to make this blog overly-political. I get into trouble very easily when I get political, mostly because I’m not exceptionally ~eloquent~ when it comes to talking about stuff that gets me riled up. Not that I’m exceptionally eloquent anyhow, but let’s just say it goes downhill fast when I talk politics. Anyhow, [...]

Another item on the to-knit list. The Pretty as a Peacock Shawl – This is so cute. I really should get this pattern. Peacocks + Knitting = happy Em. I love peacocks so much. So pretty. I know they crap everywhere like most birds do, but I still want a yard full of peacocks. You [...]

Things I like Thursday

By Em | Published: Thursday, June 12, 2008
This is only my second week doing this and I almost forgot to do it. Or rather, I was exhausted and fell asleep while “reading” at 7pm and almost slept past midnight. Whoops. Shall we get on with it? We shall… The new Portishead, Third. It’s pretty fantastic. I’ve got it on the iPod. I’ve [...]

Remember my plants?

By Em | Published: Thursday, June 12, 2008
My little garden’s been growing well. I’ve been a good plant mother this year, despite all I’ve got going on right now. And it was beginning to show – flowers blooming nicely, green things getting bigger, etc. However, last night something terrible happened… Then - Now - I went out there last night to give [...]
