Weblog Wannabe

Looks like my silly “Does your weblog own you?” quiz from 2002 is making the rounds again. The first time I took the quiz almost four years ago, the result said that my weblog owned 37.5% of me. I took…

I think I know what I’m going to do this summer. I’m going to build this kite camera and fly and take aerial pictures with it every weekend. Well, maybe not every weekend. Some weekends will do. It’s going to…

So, another weekend has come and gone. Boohoo! We spent the weekend at Troy’s parents’ place. A weekend there usually means a game-playing weekend, but not this time. On Saturday, Troy’s dad drove us down to the shore of…

For some reasons, I keep forgetting that Advil doesn’t work on an empty stomach. At least not in my case. I popped two this morning but it didn’t do anything so I spent hours feeling crappy. I kept telling…

We went to see Capote and V for Vendetta last weekend. Both movies are kind of disturbing and both show how human beings can be so manipulative. I think the Oscar for Philip Seymour Hoffman was well-deserved. His acting was…

When we went grocery shopping last night, I picked up a fish fillet to be made into some Indonesian fish cake called Pempek. The fillet came from some white meat fish called the orange roughy. I’d never heard of the…

Well, we didn’t care enough about the Oscars to watch the ceremony, but reading the winners list is always interesting. And, OMG, MY BOYFRIEND WON AN OSCAR!!! Well, Philip Seymour Hoffman is not really my boyfriend, but Troy always refers…

Yes, I’m still alive! I don’t like grey days, especially with no snow. It’s just plain boring. Yet Troy said they were getting tonnes of snow where he worked. But I’m not going to talk about the weather because…
