I stirred up some livejournal drama by loosening the posting restrictions on a community I maintain there. It’s a bit like herding 5000 cats, but each of those cats is trying post all the huge 10 megapixel images they have on their hard drives, and linking to their etsy shops in multi-coloured flashing glittery scrolling [...]
Fourteen months filled with lies, inaction, denials, threats, and all sorts of other fun, and finally the time is here.
We have been awarded custody of all those material possessions that we have learned to live without during this past year. Espresso machine, ice cream maker, couch, photos, artwork (by us, by friends living and dead), [...]
I called Telus, as my phone was hooped. Turns out that they’ve been calling my land line to try to reach me and tell me that my mobile was going to be turned off.
Land line? I don’t have a landline.
“Your home number, in Vancouver”
She read off my previous mobile number from Vancouver. They’ve been trying [...]
Of course, I imagine that Salon will receive a take-down notice from Scientology’s crack legal team in short order, so if the above video isn’t there… you’ll know why.
Tom Cruise really needs to reconsider psychiatric medication… really give it a good thought.
Medal of Freedom? Get bent, crazypants.
The blister on my pinkie was becoming a bit of a problem; getting in the way of that typing thing… It had to go. I couldn’t run the video camera and destroy the blister at the same time, so I wasn’t able to get video of the event for you.
I know, you’re not supposed to [...]
When I was at the Emergency Room last night for the burnt hand, I had explained the cause a couple times; to a couple paramedics, to the trauma nurses, to intake, and then to a resident and finally to the supervising doctor. I had no idea that burns on the hand were that big [...]
From about.com;
Victims with burns to the following areas need emergency medical assistance (call 911):
face
hands
feet
genitalia
That’s right; if you burn your genitalia, call 911. I’d have never thought of that.
Okay, I checked google after our 6 hour trip to ER to have my burnt hand investigated; I was curious what degree this was, and hadn’t thought [...]
What do you do when you’re just not finding satisfaction in your work? When you move from one position with little power and respect to another position with little power and respect and find nothing changing for the better? They all seem to be about the same, with different faces and different benefits packages.
Some people [...]
I was in Wal*Mart last weekend, spending money off a gift card we received for ChriFSMmas. There were some 100 stacks of DVD blanks on for $18, and I was in need of backing up some data, so it was a decent option.
Wal*Mart is not a place I’d normally go when we were in Vancouver; [...]
