some Can-con…

By Em | Published: Saturday, January 31, 2009
I’ve been watching a lot of The Kids in the Hall lately, having recently acquired all 5 seasons. It’s been helping me get through the bus strike and the general January blahs. I watched the show on CBC a zillion years ago, but it hasn’t been on any channels I can get for a while [...]

Anyone else on Goodreads.com? I joined recently, and will try to keep it updated. Not a lot up there right now, just the books I’ve been reading since I joined. It seems like a good place to keep track of these things. I also added a little button link on my sidebar here. → Just [...]

some scarfy goodness

By Em | Published: Wednesday, January 28, 2009
I did something really stupid this morning. Or rather, more stupid than usual. I needed to clean my bedroom hepa filter (it was very overdue) and I decided today was the day. I had to vacuum it out with my hepa filtered vacuum and change this “pre-filter” thing on it. Anyhow, I shouldn’t have done [...]

As we enter week…. what is it now…. seven (?!) of the bus strike in Ottawa, I thought I’d post this picture that’s been floating around the net… I didn’t take this photo, not sure who did… but whoever did, the credit goes to them, not me. It’s one of the local gay sex shops, [...]

more socks

By Em | Published: Saturday, January 24, 2009
There’s some birthday knitting underway, so again, I’m keeping a few things hidden for a few more weeks. Until then, I’m working on these new socks. They’re not too exciting looking at first, but I am teaching myself to knit Continental style with these socks. I’m tired of knitting English style and it was a [...]

in which I kill those I should embrace… sort of.

The other night, I was sitting in my living room and I noticed Kiki jump to life and start batting at something on the floor. Not too unusual, but when the thing started to move on its own, I jumped up too to look to see what the hell it was. It was big, about [...]

adjusting… slowly

By Em | Published: Sunday, January 18, 2009
This weekend was the first weekend I had no schoolwork (whatsoever) to do. It was very weird. I usually feel guilty when I dick around on weekends and skip working on stuff. I’ve felt like that for years now, it seems. I always felt like I could have been a better student, spent more time [...]

finito

By Em | Published: Thursday, January 15, 2009
Submitted the final copies of my thesis to the university. Officially, aside from graduation, I’m done with school. For now. We’ll see. I feel SO weird saying that.  I took 6-ish months off between “high school” (done by correspondence because of the bipolar disorder) and Trent University, but no break since then. I started at [...]

I love Amanda Palmer

By Em | Published: Wednesday, January 14, 2009
She’s amazing. I loved her in the Dresden Dolls, and I love her solo album. I just wanted to let you know because you need to know. The song Oasis is pretty amazing. The video is good too. and her solo album is called “Who Killed Amanda Palmer?” which is awesome to me for obvious [...]
