Monday Meme – Random x 15

By Em | Published: Monday, November 30, 2009
Good morning folks. Hope everyone is feeling OK. I’m a bit rough today, having only slept about 4 hours last night. We went to see Lady Gaga at Scotia Bank Place, and it was pretty awesome. I like Lady Gaga. Her music is all right, but I think I like her persona and costumes and [...]

By Em | Published: Wednesday, November 18, 2009
Bus-riding Moms Win Stroller Fight I guess these councilors don’t get on a bus very often. Sighs. My opinion of Ottawa’s city council is taking a real dive this week. More than usual, at least. Also – nice sexist headline, CBC. Like Unlike

I didn’t know this existed in Canada

By Em | Published: Wednesday, November 18, 2009
Today is the National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims in Canada.  I learn so much working for the Canadian government – I had never heard of this.

Good evening. Hope everyone’s had a good day. I thought I’d do a little meme about blogging. It’s meta time. 1.Why and when did you start your first blog? I believe it was in mid-99.

Whoops

By Em | Published: Sunday, November 8, 2009
I tried to upgrade to WordPress 2.8.5 this afternoon, and had a massive crash. It completely wiped out the blog. Luckily, my host always makes backups, and I had A here to restore things. He got it going after a bit of fiddling. I knew I had it backed up, but I was still pretty [...]
