Trash the Dress?

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 […]

Adventures in a Pool

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

Monday Flat Tire Fun

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

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

Snow Snow Everywh–what??

Like Darren did, we got snow last night. Unlike Darren though, I don’t live in the frozen north. Luckily it didn’t extend far past home, and wasn’t more than a bit of slush on the car, and I’m pretty sure there won’t be any evidence of it when I get home. Still, crazy weather. Dang

The Weekend Wrapup

A fairly productive weekend I think. I actually got stuff done! Not a lot of code, that’ll be in the evenings, but a bunch of other stuff. First of all, did a bunch of running around. I had a couple of projects around the house (computer related, go figure) that needed “stuff” for. So I

Flood!

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

Snow?!?

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

A Productive Week and Weekend

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.
