Anyone else figure out that the secret to a good fire was some birch-bark? Strip some of that – or better yet, find some dead wood – and whoosh! Your fire’s burning 5 times brighter. Probably not so good for the tree though.
I’ll be in Ottawa in a few weeks – anyone looking for a guy who can do stuff for cash? Brad, not that kind of stuff.
My bike has a flat front tire. It ALWAYS has a flat front tire – likely because I only try and ride it once a year, and by then the front tire has gone flat.
So that’s it, I’m land-lineless. My home phone has been disconnected, and I’m living solely off the cell and Skype. In case of an Emergency, I’ll have to bang some sticks together really loud or something. One question though: what was that last blinking message I never checked?
So I’m a bit embarrassed because I don’t usually post something that’s been run through a filter and then I say “good nuff” but I’m doing it here because I’ve been playing with the LucisArt filter (mostly with people) and everyone said how disgusting and scary the people looked – and they were a bit […]
I would like to thank my Mom, for shovelling my walk while I was in Ottawa and William for being the best residential real-estate agent/friend I’ve ever had! I can only imagine the favours I will have to do him now…
I’m going to be running around mad-crazy for the next month. Moving to Ottawa, packing, travel, work. It’s going to be nuts. I’ll pop in now and again though.
Calculators have completely ruined my math skills. I can’t do basic shit, like multiplication… BASIC times table multiplication 6 times 7 and what-not. I used to be pretty good, when they had those math drills in school, or number crunchers on the Macintosh computers (they didn’t call them “Mac’s” then). Whiz whiz I’d finish my […]
Today is One Nigh Live; I’ll be photographing the event, from around noon to midnight. I’m pretty excited, especially since my momma got me a brand new 16gb CF card – that’s stick the camera down your pants and release the shutter for an hour kinda storage!
I don’t think I have a set talent that I could perform comfortably in public. Unless you count witty banter and drop-dead good looks a talent (the ladies sure do!). I’m one of those guys that can *sort of* do everything I try, but none of it very well. The only thing that I am […]
I apologize for the larger than usual image – especially those of you who subscribe through a feed reader – but I felt I wanted to show a bit more detail off in this image than what a standard 800 pixel width could accomplish. You can download a desktop background for this here
Every time we stop at the The Log Cabin Restaurant I end up hopping off of the bus (if there’s light out) and snapping a few pictures in and around the parking lot.There’s really nowhere else to go around here, and if I venture too far I risk my bus taking off without me – […]
I think one of my shoulders is bigger now that I carry my camera around (though I’m embarrassed to say it rarely gets a chance to come out and actually DO anything). I know there are a few of us walking around with these shoulder bags from Crumpler, but how many of your ‘roamers’ out […]
The coffee at Mel’s tasted a bit off this weekend. Freezer coffee often does.
Another thing I’m not good at.
I went to Owen’s 10th birthday party on Sunday, his cousin’s were there along with some school friends. We went to a local bowling alley and played 5-pin with the bumpers removed (I know, Hard Core!). I thought Wii Bowling had maybe brought my skills to new heights, but I got schooled – big time. […]
Is it societal, as in “North American” to treat the roads better than we do the sidewalks? We plow them regularly, keep them salted, clean, safe. By doing so we are placing our priority on the automobiles that drive on the roadways, while burdening the people on their pathetic pedestrian walks. I know people who […]
Okay, so I had to make an emergency trip to Ottawa last Friday night; snow storm across Ontario. Came back last night to a snow storm in Toronto.My commute has extended to about 8 hours door to door. Yippee!
Ooooh, choices, paths to take; will one bring you happiness? The other – DOOM!?
I know people want to keep things – I understand the compulsion to not give up on items you once paid good cash-money for. But broke down, deflated tired, rust heaps of cars are one of those things you should not include on your “things to keep” list. There’s a dude on my street (not […]
I know there’s great protest against level railway crossings and that they’re considered dangerous and blah blah blah. I’ve even seen those scary as hell videos of a person running in-front of one train right into the next oncoming. Or those cars that figure the crossing signal doesn’t “count” for them and dodge around it […]
