Posting from Word

It’s late, and I really should be in bed – but I wanted to try this and see if it works. I’m posting from Word. I’m not quite sure how this would be of any benefit to me – unless I was suffering from an extended Internet interruption and I was overwhelmed by the need [...]

More toys

   It’s an unofficial competition and without actual prizes, but my younger brother and I like to compare salaries. Recently he’s come up the winner. However, as the elder sister I exercise full rights to change the rules of the contest at my whim. When he tells me that his salary has topped X level, my answer [...]

Happily ever after

I could probably come up with a million excuses, but I just haven’t been reading a lot lately. And when I do pick up a novel, it quite literally takes me months and months to finish.
I finally finished “Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister”. I loved the premise of the story — telling the Cinderella story [...]

A little knowledge

Proving once more that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, I’ve been messing with the template for the blog. What I really want to have happen is for the date to be in a little box, with the month/year in large letters “in behind” the number of the date. I did get the large [...]

REO Speedwagon

The concert was so much fun. They, of course, sang the hits (”Take It On The Run”, “Can’t Fight This Feeling”, “Keep on Loving You”, and, my very favourite, “Roll With the Changes”). They also plugged their upcoming album (so I’ll do the same), “Everyone Loves a Happy Ending”. It sounds great - [...]

You do the math

While I’m not on the fibre diet that Tammy and others have voluntarily committed to, I would like to see the tubs and tubs (and tubs) of yarn that fill different closets in the house emptied — at least a little. To that end, I started to make a little sweater - a boy’s cardigan. [...]

Roll with the changes

There are a number of bands and/or artists that I would have loved to see live, but now, for obvious reasons, that’s not going to happen. Top of the list of the acts I’ve missed are:

The Bee Gees
John Denver
ABBA
The Mammas and the Pappas
Stan Rogers

(You might note a trend in time frames.)
So, I’ve decided to make [...]

Warcraft baby

It’s not any breaking news, but the internet for all its flaws does provide us all with a chance to get to know people who we might never have had the chance to otherwise. In my experience, this has almost always been a positive experience. It’s through these medium, and more specifically through online gaming [...]
