relatively painless this time

By Em | Published: Thursday, July 30, 2009
SO – I updated to a newer version of WordPress last night. It worked! Rather than expecting things to work on this blog, I’m now expecting disaster every time I upgrade WordPress versions. That’s ok. If it fucks things up, I’m more prepared. If it doesn’t fuck things up, I’m thrilled. So colour me thrilled. [...]

Monday Meme… (i’m still alive)

By Em | Published: Monday, July 27, 2009
So I came back from my little holiday in Minden and fell off the proverbial blogging horse. Why? How? I don’t know. I was exhausted after my trip and had to catch up on personal stuff, which meant putting off blogging. Then I put it off some more. But I’m here now, and I’ve got [...]

Cat Blogging Friday

By Em | Published: Friday, July 17, 2009
Last weekend, while watching The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, I started crocheting this simple little cat mat. I don’t even know if my stitches were “real” crochet stitches, since I haven’t crocheted in so long. I liked the way it turned out though. It’s made from some Red Heart “Artesano” yarn I had [...]

Monday Meme – Transportation Edition

By Em | Published: Monday, July 13, 2009
Happy Monday. I’m taking off for a bit here, heading back to the hometown (with a stop in Peterborough on the way) to visit with the family. My little brother is leaving for B.C. at the end of the month, and I don’t think I’ll see him again before I start work. I still can’t [...]

Some “link love”

By Em | Published: Sunday, July 12, 2009
I’m sure “Link Love” must be copyrighted by someone, no? I don’t know. Anyhow, I haven’t shared links for a while, so I thought I’d give you a few places to go… Awkward Boners – It means what it says. And it delivers. (And I don’t care what guys say, some awkward boners do not [...]

Bluesfest 2009

By Em | Published: Saturday, July 11, 2009
We’re in the middle of some thunderstorms here in Ottawa, so hopefully I’ll be able to get through this post without getting blown away. Glad I’m not at Bluesfest tonight. Heh. We went to Bluesfest in the Market on Thursday, as planned. We were front row/centre for the whole show. It was a dancing night, [...]

Bluesfest part 1

By Em | Published: Thursday, July 9, 2009
I have very little interest in Ottawa’s Bluesfest this year. Mostly because the acts are people I’d kinda like to see, but not people I OMG NEED to see. However, a few folks are close to the latter, namely this guy - YAY George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic! Tonight in the Byward Market. Awesome. Like [...]

“Gardening”

By Em | Published: Wednesday, July 8, 2009
I’ve been slacking with the blog lately. I feel it, you know it, etc. I’m not even sure why, I just sometimes feel like I’ve got nothing to say. I know that sounds like bullshit, and it probably is bullshit. I’ve always got something to say. I think I’m trying to avoid the obvious here: [...]

Monday Meme

What Is Your Current Obsession? Fruit. I really love fruit right now. What Are You Wearing Today? Black t-shirt, dark blue jeans, undies. What’s for dinner? No idea. I’ve got a lot of fruit and veggies to eat. What Would You Eat for Your Last Meal? Something fresh with Havarti and avocados and bread. What’s [...]
