I went for a walk the other evening and found a trail of discarded wigs and pieces of wigs along the side of a 1km stretch of Merivale Road. Upon returning the next day to photograph them, I was disappointed to see the best one was already gone. It was a very long black straight-haired [...]

I was fortunate enough to be given complimentary tickets for the opening night performance of blood.claat at the Great Canadian Theatre Company last night, just for being a blogger. Not only that, but GC and I got the best seats in the house: front row, center. I’m going to tell you something about me: I’m [...] GC and I won tickets to go see the advance screening of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland last night. (Thank you, Penguin Canada.) Going for free is a treat, but it isn’t as easy as paying to see a movie. First there’s a lineup to get your pass converted to a ticket. Then there’s a lineup [...] News of Duncan’s fame has reached all the way back to his roots. The Ottawa Humane Society blogged about him yesterday. You’d think his head would be swelling by now, but no. “Duncan,” I said, “The Humane Society blogged about you! They heard you were the star of a romance novel!” “Oh I’m just a minor [...] Last night GC and I went to the so-called all-candidates meeting for the Ottawa West-Nepean provincial by-election. It’s GC’s riding, and he wanted to better acquaint himself with the issues and the candidates before deciding who to vote for.

So when I heard about a new crepe restaurant in town from Nelly’s blog, we wasted no time checking it out.
The making of the crepe Crepella’s – despite its unfortunate name – makes wonderfully yummy crepes. They use only fresh ingredients, and they [...] I have to say, I love love love my green bin. Maybe the novelty will wear off someday, but so far I’m totally enamored with it. It’s like having a new pet. I feel like I’m feeding it. In the olden days I used to have a worm composter. I kept it in my kitchen [...] You know, I have no trouble wading into controversial political waters and sharing my opinions on all kinds of subjects. I’ll talk about crime, drug policy, our idiot mayor, unions, poverty, social programs, welfare cheating, public spending, the bus strike, whatever. But I’ve been reluctant to say what I think about the deeply divisive issue [...] Yesterday I had lunch with my friend Julia C at The Table, and afterwards we went to Raw Sugar to continue our conversation over coffee. The timing was remarkable, because it just so happened that we ended up right in the middle of the Chinese New Year parade! Sometimes I can’t believe my good luck. Chinese [...] |
