Who knew there was a whole genre of photography called trash the dress, which involves (as far as I can tell) pictures that when done are a pretty much assurance that your wedding dress isn’t going to be used a second time. Scenes involving water appear to be a favorite. Is this common? Being someone […]
Firefly’s been gone since last Friday on a course or seminar or something, so I’ve had to amuse myself the last few days. Somehow in the last 4 days I’ve ended up for three of them in the municipal pool down the street. Today I managed 11 laps of the 25 meter pool (that’d be

Mondays are a drag to begin with, especially after a weekend after a 3 day week. Monday mornings are super-extra-double draggy when you start driving off to the train and hear an odd “wappa-wappa-wappa” noise coming from the car. Pull over (about 50 feet from the driveway is as far as I got) and found

A day of firsts for me, though none of them really hugely exciting 
First time finding one of my old jobs (from the graphics place where I had the MacBook) on a job search site. I’m sure other jobs of mine may have ended up on places like that, but I’ve never actually found

Dear universe, please stop hatin’ on me. Please? Working at home today, oblivious under head phones when at 5 or so (just in time for me to not be interrupted from work thankyouverymuch) Firefly noticed a squooshing that wasn’t supposed to be there. The old copper washer that was securing the connection from the copper
I went into Abbotsford to pay some bills at lunch and saw basically hard rain or soft hail, just a few sprinkles here and there and though “well isn’t that quaint”. After I got home I went heads down into work (today I was working from home). Then when I poked my head out of
Surprisingly, last week ended very nicely. A couple of big projects at work were finally put to bed, and I even got all my timesheets up to date before leaving. Also this weekend I got the bulk of work done on a website Content Management System (CMS) that I’ve been (re)writing for a contract job.
