Watch my life unravel...
|
I don’t get attached to all that many projects in Ottawa, but I’ve been looking forward to the Portrait Gallery. I love paintings and photographs and faces and there was talk of combining newer technologies with older ones to have some interactive portraits. The whole project struck an historical/creative chord with me. And then, quite some […] Okay, so I quit smoking two months ago and I gained five pounds. (I’m lying; I gained six pounds.) My pants don’t fit right anymore, and that means I spend a lot of time feeling uncomfortably aware of those six pounds. I could go out and buy jeans a size bigger, but I won’t […] I had no idea Ottawa Centre had seven candidates running for MPP. From left to right: Richard Eveleigh, Independent. Let’s just say he needs to polish his public speaking skills a bit before he tries this again. I felt kind of sorry for him because he doesn’t speak clearly and I don’t think he hears very well […] This list was inspired by Meg Fowler, whom I discovered via Darren Barrenfoot. Meg likes to make lists of the things she loves. She does it mostly on Fridays, but I’m not that disciplined. Feel free to add to my list in the comments. (We’ll do Things We Love About Autumn in a week or […] 1) Are you voting in Ontario’s provincial election on October 10th? 2) If so, who are you voting for? 3) How are you voting on the referendum question? 4) Hypothetical bonus question: If the new electoral system (Mixed Member Proportional) were in effect for this election, which of course it isn’t, would both your votes go […] Sunday morning, like most Sunday mornings, the Ottawa Sun was blowing all over the neighbourhood. They’ve been giving newspapers away on Sundays by tossing them onto everybody’s stoop, where the wind immediately separates them into individual sheets and blows them into gardens and gutters. I took a picture and emailed it to the Sun. But […] This sounds like an interesting and inexpensive way to see the world. (The link goes to an article on the NY Times site, which is now free but you do have to register and they do ask you nosy, off-putting questions.) The article is about a social networking site called The Couch Surfing Project that […] My sister Kerry is nine months and one week pregnant now. For the past few weeks I’ve been waiting for the call which will trigger my leap into action. At that point I will drop everything, call a cab, and race up to Old Chelsea, hopefully arriving in time to watch the baby emerge from […] Last week I was walking to work and there seemed to be more than the average number of crows around. I like crows, with their clever ways and beady eyes, and I thought to myself “Crows are my favourite birds.” But the moment after I thought that, I saw two nuthatches. “No wait!” I said to […] Sometimes thoughts just drift in from nowhere. Like today: How many people have I lived with in my lifetime? I started counting them up, from birth onwards, and I think there were about 48. It’s hard to say exactly because there was a period in my teens when I lived in a 6-bedroom house on […] |
