Watch my life unravel...
|
I spent today at the University of Ottawa, participating in the Homelessness Forum, which is an annual one-day conference organized by the Ottawa Alliance to End Homelessness. This is a unusual event in that it’s free and people without homes are strongly encouraged to participate. This kind of diversity tends to create an interesting […] I saw this trippy truck one day while walking up Bank Street with XUP. There was a rubber chicken on the dash. Cheap post, I know. But it’s late and tomorrow’s a big day: I’m going to the homelessness forum and a wake for a former bike gang leader. TAGS: This post is dedicated to XUP, who seems to be missing the GC posts. Last night GC and I attended an event called TimeRaiser, which took place, oddly, amongst the tanks and fighter jets at the War Museum. I think the TimeRaiser concept is absolutely brilliant. You pay $20 to get in. For the first […] I think today is Day 5 of my Blogging About XUP series. Only 15 more to go. XUP seriously doubts that you want to know how she washes her face, but I say nonsense! With her permission, I am publishing her face-care regime, which she sent me this morning. Since she was so agreeable about this […] Remember last month I promised you I’d do some research on inexpensive at-home facial treatments? I’ve been working on it. I’ve read – or at least browsed – a few books on the subject. I don’t know where to get things like powdered green algae or pure aloe vera juice, so I’ve started with the […] I think I’ve mentioned before that I have a morbid fear of public speaking. I’m not even talking about public speaking like speaking into a microphone to hundreds of people from a podium on a stage. I’m talking about something as simple as the dreaded “let’s go round the table and introduce ourselves” at a […] Recently I was in a meeting with a couple of people, including the owner of Bridgetech Systems, which is a computer company I’ve been dealing with for years. We were discussing the roll-out of a brand new computer network at work. Throughout the meeting, I repeatedly made the same two mistakes: 1) Whenever I wanted to say […] Last weekend I found myself sitting at the window table at Irene’s Pub with two local blogger friends, doing what bloggers do best: eating eggs, drinking beer, talking, and looking for things to blog about. Andy Brown, the Chalkboard Artist, was hard at work on the chalkboard right beside us. Andy takes care of Irene’s chalkboard […] Yesterday was my favourite event of the year – the annual Vintage Clothing Sale at the Chateau Laurier. I lined up and felt my adrenaline building as 10:00 drew nearer, and then there was that delicious flood of endorphins as I burst through the doorway and began my search for something special for me or […] Yesterday GC, The Dog and I were wandering around the Arboretum at the Experimental Farm, when a huge flock of migrating Canada Geese flew overhead. They just kept coming and coming and coming. We stood there in awe for a minute or two, mesmerized by the endless stream of honking geese. And then I suddenly […] |
