I got a brand new brother yesterday! Ok, maybe he’s not exactly a brand new brother, but I hadn’t seen him since October 23rd, 1982 when he was nine years old, and before that I hadn’t seen him since he was a baby. Now he’s 33, so it’s just like getting a whole new brother. […]

Watch my life unravel...

Today was an interesting day. I had a meltdown at the Riverside Hospital this morning and I got a brand new brother at Mexicali Rosa’s this evening. Remember when the Mysterious Hematologist finally concluded that my immature red blood cells were being caused by Cold Agglutinin Disease (aka Cold Antibody Hemolytic Anemaia)? I assumed that would […] Do you ever feel like you’ve run out of things to say and maybe you should just be quiet for awhile? I started blogging in October, 2005, with zero readers. I just wrote, and sometimes I wondered if anybody was reading it. After awhile someone left a comment, so I knew I had at least […] I used to go to the Merrickville Antique Show every year, but today was the first time since 2003. Talk about downsized. I think the antiques bubble burst in my absence. There were only about 25 dealers and maybe a hundred scroungers. Sad to say, the pickings were pretty slim. The stuff they’re now calling […] Well, it was kind of an anticlimatic game at the end of an anticlimatic series, wasn’t it? None of that adrenalin-fueled squirming on the edge of our seats, chewing on our nails, afraid-to-look-at-the-screen-but-afraid-to-look-away kind of stuff. Nope. The whole series – and especially the last game – was like falling off a high cliff […] More of us are petrified of public speaking (glossophobia) than of death (thanatophobia). I suppose if somebody held a gun to my head and said “Speak or die,” I’d start talking. But I am terribly phobic about public speaking and I am very good at avoiding it. I wasn’t always that way. In elementary school […] I went to see Bodies: The Exhibition at the South Street Seaport Museum in New York. It uses real human corpses to illustrate anatomy. The bodies have been dissected and preserved using a polymer preservation process. There are a number of full corpses, with their skin removed and various other parts removed or peeled […] I read about the Conservative Party’s new blog on Rick Mercer’s site, and thought he was joking. He wasn’t. The Conservative Party should know better than to attempt to be funny – they’re just not made that way – and their blog illustrates perfectly what happens when a political party combines a lack of humour […] I bought my house last October, which was post-garden season. This is what I saw: a tiny backyard, maybe 12 feet by 10 feet, lined on two sides with empty flower boxes, and surrounded by a fence. Not much, I thought, but I could grow morning glories and marigolds, squeeze in a barbecue and a […] |
