from a hike on sunday

October 28th, 2008

Why do I keep finding this stuff, take pictures of it, and get odd looks?
Well, the latter is actually pretty self-explanatory really, isn’t it. I do get strange looks from people fairly often it seems.
I also realize that I need a lens that does more than ƒ4.0 (for those that don’t know, it’s an aperture [...]

better to just not ask

October 27th, 2008

I managed to rescue this from my back pocked before the jeans got washed. These were my very sad directions to a Multi-Cultural Festival here in St. John’s and personally, I’m a little amazed I made it myself. Particularly with the “???” street that wasn’t listed in Google Maps. Apparently I also didn’t think it [...]

concerning toothbrushes

October 25th, 2008

A very small part of the excitement of the trip I just took to Gros Morne was that I would finally get to use the new toothbrush holders I bought not that long ago. It would seem, for my entire life, the solution to taking a toothbrush while traveling was to wrap it in a [...]

a scary halloween

October 23rd, 2008

On the drive back from Gros Morne, the idea of decorating my place for Hallowe’en with these guys somehow crept its way into my mind and was too good to pass up. Not only that, but it’s been expanded to the St. John’s Farmers’ Market on Saturday (though they don’t know it yet).
If you like [...]

they do exist!

October 21st, 2008

It’s bigfoot, right? I mean, it is close to Halloween.
Just got back from Gros Morne and I’m pretty tired. Will have more later.

nothing but self-taught here

October 14th, 2008

There’s a new Instructional Video out in theaters now called “How to Lose Friends & Alienate People”.
Seems like it might have some good lessons in it in case I ever need to alienate someone so I decided to contact a few friends and see who was interested. This brought on the usual barrage of emails [...]

up again, for now.

October 13th, 2008

I’ve discovered, as has Alexa over the last little while that web stuff is a lot of mumbo-jumbo and about as convoluted as possible (up there with assembly instructions from Ikea — even the ones in your own language). The kind of deal where it’ll only work on the third try, while on a laptop, [...]

RetroBot.ca

October 7th, 2008

I’m on the move to www.RetroBot.ca!
Course, it’s not up yet, and I’m still working out some of the minor little details. But, if this page suddenly stops working one day (possibly tomorrow, or the next day — both of which are days), then that’s where you can find me. Or, you can read some other [...]

still classy

October 5th, 2008

A week ago the Waffle Lady from the Farmers’ Market was having a fundraising garage sale and my neighbor (Sarah) and I went for a visit. She got an amazing cow lamp (yes, it’s the cutest non-edible cow that lights up) and I bought a chair. Since I’ve been doing the freelance thing I thought [...]

fickle? me? never. maybe.

October 2nd, 2008

My memory, from time to time (apparently), can be a little on the non-cute fuzzy side. It’s a bit of a problem at times. But I seem to recall a fellow student asking one of the teachers about tattoos. He attributed his lack of tattoo’s to always changing his mind. To be permanently adorned with [...]
