Things I like Thursday

By Em | Published: Thursday, July 31, 2008
I’m a bit lazy this Thursday. This was supposed to post last Thursday, but we all know the WordPress elves dropped the ball on that one. These are my interests from my livejournal account. They’re all things I like and/or am interested in. I could play with the Wordle thing for hours. If you’d like [...]

Ottawa – We’re number one!

By Em | Published: Thursday, July 31, 2008
In the UNSEXY department, apparently. We’re Canada’s least sexy city, with the least sexy neighbourhood to boot - Ottawa Citizen As usual, there are a few flaws in the logic of this poll/study/bullshit. Obviously “sexiness” is entirely subjective, and thus, this interpretation is complete crap. And these results come from speed-dating appraisals… which are measuring… [...]

So…

By Em | Published: Wednesday, July 30, 2008
The WordPress elves are fired. For whatever reason, my scheduled posts did not post. I don’t know. It worked before, but not this time. Not a huge deal, but you know, annoying and faith-shaking. I had a good trip home. The weather on Friday made it possibly the most perfect day this summer, and I’m [...]

Socks!

By Em | Published: Sunday, July 27, 2008
I always have at least one pair of socks on the go. I’ve got two pairs on the go now. I get knitting ADD, so I have to split my sock knitting into chunks. I can’t look at the same sock yarn for the time it takes to knit a pair of socks, so I [...]

A break

By Em | Published: Wednesday, July 23, 2008
So – tomorrow I’m going home for a bit. For no particularly depressing or exciting reason, just a trip home in the summertime.  This is the time of year when Minden’s most bearable. Hopefully, I’ll do some swimming, play with two doggies I’ve missed like crazy, and hang around with some of my favourite people [...]

Do you remember this thing?

By Em | Published: Tuesday, July 22, 2008
If you didn’t, don’t worry. Even I forgot about it. I finished this scarf, the Lace Ribbon Scarf (from Knitty.com) about a month ago. Then I took it off my needles, as they were in demand for something else, and set it aside. First, I forgot my plans to block it. Then, I forgot it [...]

So that’s what it was…

By Em | Published: Monday, July 21, 2008
Yesterday morning, around 8 AM ish, I was lying in bed, just groggily deciding if I should get up or sleep for another few hours… when I hear *BOOOM BOOM BOOOM BOOOOM BOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOOM BOOOM… * I can’t remember how many booms I heard, but I counted at least 9 separate explosions in [...]

Films I Love Friday part III

By Em | Published: Friday, July 18, 2008
I have no shortage of film stills for this game. Here’s another 10. I personally think this one is a lot easier than last week’s, so give it a shot. I am probably getting much more of a kick out of this than you are, as is usually the case with anything blog-related. To play [...]

Things I like Thursday

By Em | Published: Thursday, July 17, 2008
The Dark Knight Went to a screening of this last night at Silver City, and very much enjoyed it. There was definitely some novelty in the experience of being in the first group of people to see it in Ottawa. I can’t take much credit for that, however. I just have good friends who offered [...]
