aw.
Paul Newman died this morning. I was never a huge fan, but he was a talented man and donated time to some good causes. It’s a shame when people like that die. I’m actually sadder about one of the otters in that Otters Holding Hands video died this week. Is that strange? I’ve got nothing [...]

about a year ago this week…

New Bed
I hate making “OMG, look what I bought!” posts, but this purchase is more of an event than anything else. I got a new bed! It’s a big deal! I’ve been meaning to do this for a long long time. I’m 26 and a “big girl” now by many standards, so it was time I [...]

some knitting bits and pieces
Yes! I still knit. It’s just taken a backseat to a bunch of stuff lately. Blogging about it has taken a seat even further back. That’s the way it works around here. But, as you can see, I will get to things eventually. This is a hat I knitted for a friend of mine who [...]

Happy Birthday Mr. Cave
My beloved Nick Cave turns 51 today. Almost all of my teenage crushes are now firmly lodged in “middle-age”. I guess they were already in their mid-30s when I first started loving them, but whatever. It’s making me feel old too. I can’t believe I’m NOT seeing Nick again when he tours here (Montreal & [...]

I totally forgot it exists until tonight, when someone posted this quiz on livejournal. Ever in need of distraction, I decided to take it. It’s [...]

Engrish
I’m still super busy at school. It’s starting to slow down a bit now though. At least I can get back to setting my own hours. I’m not looking forward to the next few months, but I’m trying to stay optimistic. Time for a distraction… Some Engrish from Ottawa’s Chinatown. Well, from Singapore via Ottawa’s [...]
Oh dear.
I’ve been very busy at school. I’ve been running participants and there’s been an absolutely unprecedented turn out for my study. I’m glad, but I wish it had been like this oh, 4 months ago when I started collecting data. Going all summer with maybe 5 people a week, and then getting 58 people on [...]
Stupid is as stupid does
There’s more coming out about the Carleton University computer system hacking. And as usual, it only gets more ridiculous. In my opinion, this hacker guy is brilliant. His timing is brilliant too – right on the heels of Carleton’s big “security upgrade” that the admin are so eager to brag about. I’ve seen that they’ve [...]
