lazy sunday
So… umm… torches extinguished. That’s all I’m sayin’

giggle
3948 Some things make me giggle more than others for no good reason. Obviously, I’ve been trolling through my pics today, and I came across this one. This pic is from the first game of the 2004 co-ed jambouree (we won the rec division), and every single person in the foreground of this pic (i.e. […]
tooting of one’s horn
3322 Jeez I love how the pics I took last summer turned out. The blues and greens make me happy, and the shots from the site of the Lone Cyprus turned out better than I ever could have imagined. They’re all unretouched, and it really was that gorgeous that day. Apologies for foisting them on […]
8 years
Huh. I missed the squid’s eighth birthday. I don’t really feel bad about it, but it’s interesting to reflect on how much has changed since the domain was originally registered. People have moved on, married, had kids, changed jobs multiple times, fallen off the planet, etc. I’ve held five jobs and lived in four different […]
swollen expectations
I started working out in earnest this week, and it seems that I have forgotten what happens when you do a full workout after not really doing any kind of workout for a long time. Fear not, for my muscles are reminding me in such a way that I won’t forget for at least a […]
must have missed the memo
Remember the special envelopes that used to be included with Christmas cards sold here in Canada? You know, the ones with the 6 boxes on the bottom line for the postal code, all by itself?

culture in waterloo
Apparently there is some Canadian heritage on display in Waterloo, ON. Waterloo is home to the Canadian Clay and Glass Museum, and a little more detailed picture of the facility can be seen here.
wrong number
* ring ring * “Hello?” “Hello, is this the Mexican Embassy?” “No ma’am, it’s not.” “Are you sure?” “Quite.” *pause* “Is it because I’m using English?” “No ma’am, it’s because this is my home, not the Mexican Embassy.” *click* I love it when people phone here and ask if I’m sure they’ve dialed the wrong […]
easter in cranford
4011 It’s not quite Christmas in Hollis – in fact it was nothing like that – but it was damn good. I hopped on a plane last weekend to take in the long weekend with Walt, Lee, Zoe, and Jake. I flew Mapleflot and it was a surprisingly good trip both ways; it’s almost like […]
game on!
The Needham boys always worried that their sister was adopted. She was very politically correct, declaring in the middle of dinner how inappropriate our conduct was, and then leaving (more food for us). She also didn’t swear a whole lot. Thankfully, over the years, those fears have been put to rest. My sister knows how […]
