Monday Meme – little Easter meme
(not mine) How did your family celebrate Easter? We didn’t, really. We went to church a few times when I was younger. Then we did the egg thing on Easter Sunday. Mom and dad would put eggs all over the house, and we’d run around with our little baskets finding them all. That was the [...]

don’t mind me
Just messing around with the layout of the blog. If you’re stopping by this afternoon and things look pretty wonked, please try to ignore it. It’s probably just temporary. Thank yah! Like Unlike

burning down the house
There was an apartment fire this morning in Ottawa, in the Glebe, near Bank & Fifth Ave. I woke up and saw smoke on the horizon, and turned on my iPhone’s police scanner to see what was going on. I love listening to my scanner. Anyhow, that’s what it looked like from over in the [...]

Cat Bloggin’ Friday – Testing!
Kiki this afternoon Kiki and I were recently contacted by a word-of-mouth marketing company inviting us to participate in a cat-related product test. It’s not the first time I’ve been asked to do this sort of thing, but this time I actually accepted the offer. I’m not against blogging about stuff people send me. I [...]

That light, dry plastic. She also likes thin plastic wrappers, like the plastic CDs are wrapped in. Or at least [...]

attention foot fetishists
Sock post! I probably started these about 8+months ago. I’ve just not been in a sock knitting kinda mood for the past 6 months, I guess. I dug them out after the move, and have decided that it is now time to finish them. Oh yes. You know what’s sad? I can’t even remember what [...]

Most boring post ever
Today was tax day. The weather here was craptastic, so that made it easier. This year was the first year that I did my own taxes. Dad had always done them for me, since I was away at school and he was already doing them for everyone else. He sent me three years of tax [...]

You must obey the Dance Commander
Last night was the much anticipated Electric Six show. At Maverick’s in Ottawa here. It was pretty awesome. Andrzej and I tried to get there late, because we didn’t really care about the opening bands, but we still got their “late” and saw all the bands. The first one was kinda meh. Not my style [...]
