That was quick

By Em | Published: Monday, August 31, 2009
Today is the last day of August. It’s gone ridiculously fast. I’m a bit ashamed of my August blogging output – don’t go back and check, it’s sucked. Ten entries, and I’m using the term “entries” very loosely. Oh well. I started working. Going from grad school scheduling (i.e. no scheduling) to a fairly solid [...]

Super Ex

By Em | Published: Wednesday, August 26, 2009
Busy busy… work has been taking up a lot of my time. It’s ok though, because I’m actually enjoying it. I know, right? Enjoying work. It’s helped me realize how much I needed a break from school. Still trying to find “balance”. I really need to clean up this blog and make a solid update. [...]

By Em | Published: Monday, August 17, 2009
I’m not sure what happened last Monday. I guess I didn’t do a meme. Here’s another installment of the Alphabet Meme… It’s a long one, so follow me behind the curtain… Like Unlike

Thursday Morning

By Em | Published: Thursday, August 13, 2009
This morning’s sunrise was so gorgeous that I had to take a photo. The farm was really misty, and the sky was purple and pink. I guess this is one of the “perks” of having to get up at 5 AM for work. I’m still looking for the other perks. I’ll let you know when [...]

Fucking idiots (or why I love the Internet pt2)

By Em | Published: Tuesday, August 11, 2009
YouTube Video Duck Shooters Fined, Banned – CBC.ca Again, just like the Kenny Glenn cat abuse incident, I am thrilled that peoples’ blatant stupidity and arrogance, combined with the stage that is the internet, has led to some real legal repercussions. Not the kind of “repercussions” I would have given these assholes, but at least [...]

Have a nice day…

By Em | Published: Sunday, August 9, 2009
This little fellow was on my  screen this morning. I think mayflies are amazing. I’ve only seen a mass-hatching once, and I hope everyone gets a chance to see it happen, because it’s pretty mind-blowing. I’d like to hope this little guy hatched in a massive cloud somewhere and found his way to my balcony. [...]

State of the Nation…

By Em | Published: Saturday, August 8, 2009
And by that I mean, The People’s Republic of Em… I bought an iron and an ironing board on Monday night. It took me 27 years. I now own clothes that really need to be ironed to look half-decent. I can’t decide if this is a step up or a step down… it’s definitely sideways [...]

a quick test… and basic impressions

By Em | Published: Thursday, August 6, 2009
Testing the blog business from work. I’m on my lunch break. I’ve been surfing the net and eating soup. It’s pouring out, so I don’t really want to go anywhere today. The office is empty except for me. It’s nice. I can hear the rain on the roof. It’s really pouring now. My WordPress dashboard [...]
