Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
Well, apparently you’ve gotta be a bald Natalie Portman or so hurtin’ you have to be the lead in a remake of the Shaggy Dog (fer fuck sakes) to make the theatres here in Bytown-land. I was really hoping to catch Don’t Come Knocking this weekend, but it’s not playing. I’m not sure if it’s […]
While I think it’s great for the Strip Tease Artitsts Australia union (no, I am not making that up) to win the right to lunch breaks, overtime, and leave, one of the quotes from the union spokeswoman Mystical Melody (again, I’m not making that up) gave me pause. “The majority of workers in the industry […]
misccrap/blog/the_network.png We were talking about Visio diagrams the other day, spurred on by bobo’s “I hate Visio” statement, made while trying to use the damn program. Some files were exchanged, and I came across this one in my doc directory while saving and looking at the file I had been sent. I had forgotten all […]
I’m going slightly mental these days from cabin fever, and have little tolerance for anything that annoy me. This is not good, because a lot of things annoy me of late. The worst part, which personally I find troubling, is that instead of dealing with the annoyances, I just walk away. Problem there is I’m […]
Kristina and Coop had a little boy late last night. It sounds like it was not a whole pile of fun for Kris, so here’s hoping there are chocolates and bottles of wine aplenty. Congrats Kris and Chris, awesome news!
So, I am having a really hard time with focus. I think a big part of it is that I work from home and live alone, and thus have very limited social interaction with real people. Almost all my interaction is electronic, and all the modes of communication can be very intrusive on a day […]
Please put Pat Quinn out of my misery, and get a real coach. While you’re at it, please replace Cement Head Jr. with someone who can actually manage a team and get real players when they’re available. At least during the Ballard days the guys actually looked like they were trying. Ok? Ok. Thanks. (I […]
Twelve years is a long time. In twelve years, your kids can turn into adults. They can marry that nice guy they met, graduate from medical school, move to Calgary, have a great little boy, and start a family. They can marry that nice girl they met, become a police officer, move up North, and […]
It’s been a while, but I’m finally running and exercising on a regular basis again. I’m a loooooong way from doing 20km Sunday runs on a regular basis again, but I’m getting there. Over the past month I’ve been cycling on a regular basis, stretching, and have started gym workouts again. My feet hurt still, […]
So. I had a ridiculous amount of fun yesterday. I was curling. No, seriously. Heaving heavy things in the vicinity of my dad, and not once was I tempted to heave them in anything more than the vicinity. My dad and Sue are members of the Huntley Curling Club, which had a clanspiel yesterday. The […]
