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 [...]

Last night GC and I went to Loblaws and gathered a bunch of ingredients for a Cob Salad. Then we unshopped, putting all those ingredients back where we found them, and drove over to Farm Boy instead, because we love Farm Boy. (Sometimes when we can’t think of anything to do, one of us will [...] I don’t know what’s going on, but lately I’ve been completely addle-brained about doctors appointments. Everyone misses an appointment now and again, but I’ve missed four in a row – two with the breast cancer surgeon and two with the oncologist. These are just routine follow-up appointments to make sure the cancer hasn’t come back. It’s [...]
Look Duncan, new sox! I finished knitting a pair of socks yesterday, and then I broke them in by wearing them to the meeting with the employment counselor, which is about 5km from my place. 7,500 steps. 3,750 steps per sock. Normally I don’t wear my handknit socks when I go out walking, because I’m [...] It’s been a funny sort of week. The weather is glorious and everybody else seems to be feeling the weight of winter being lifted from their shoulders. People look lighter and happier. Not me. I’ve been feeling unusually stressed out and a little depressed the past few weeks. A bunch of things are weighing [...] 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. Two of the mainstream candidates – the Liberal and the Conservative – didn’t even bother [...] You guys are NOT going to believe this. Remember two years ago when Duncan was immortalized in a piece of street art by Elmaks? Well, it’s happened again. This time he’s in a novel. I’m not kidding. I was reading a book, when suddenly, completely out of the blue, right there on page 37, there [...] |
