There are so many tasks I could be doing now, but I choose this one: writing a bit of a summary of what I've been doing these last few days (other than using Foursquare and Twitter to the hilt that is). The last time I wrote was before meeting up with the bulk of people… Continue reading Victoria Adventures

So, as you may surmise by my title here, I have once again begun my crazy summer travel schedule. Like last year, I'm attending DHSI (Digital Humanities Summer Institute) in Victoria. This time I'm taking a course on Data Discovery (last year's class was on Project Management). Yesterday I arrived, following a 1.5 hr delay… Continue reading In Victoria again… and enjoying it!

Well as you may well know, I don't drive. So it's not entirely unsurprising that my first bent fender is going to be on my new bike… but well… I guess the bike is getting very well broken in! You see we were returning from a wonderful dinner at Daawat (thanks to a soon to… Continue reading My first fender bender… on a bike!

To be honest, there aren't any that I watch right now, but when I was a kid, I rather liked watching Seventh Heaven. That show was ridiculously family-values, religious and well… a lot of things that I am not. That said, I found it a sort of surreptitious addition. Strange how I don't have any… Continue reading Writer's Block: Fast-food TV

Yesterday I FINALLY made it to Edmonton Alley Burgers in the alley behind 100 Bar + Kitchen. It was a very delicious lamb burger (the best lamb burger I have ever had!) for a measly $5. We didn't even have to line up for terribly long — maybe half an hour. Afterwards JD and I… Continue reading Yummy Food, Friends, and Fun!

I'm VERY SLOWLY making headway on all the tasks I had planned for May. It's relatively relaxing and stressful (alternately) but I am getting stuff done. JD's alternately really motivating to do household chores and exercise (bike ride) and distracting from some of my other daily tasks. Which all together isn't a bad thing. Yesterday… Continue reading Summer days and all that stuff…

I think that her songs are powerful. Not just in the whole earworm kind of way but also in the messages that she tries to put forward. I say tries, because I highly doubt that everyone listens to them for the messages, but the songs themselves are worth listening to — if only for their… Continue reading Writer's Block: Mother Monster returns

On Friday night I went for a pretty long bike ride — my longest ever I imagine. It was about 30 kilometers in total (around 15 km each way). We rode to JD's mom's place and then back. On the way there it was still light out and we rode through downtown, along the LRT… Continue reading More biking adventures… and some adventures in homemaking too I guess!

This is a great question. It shows exactly why I love Lamb so very much: I burn like a good bonfire In whatever I do I burn like a good bonfire And I know I`ll come through That's very much how I want to live my life, and why I find this as one of… Continue reading Writer's Block: Dynamite with a laser beam

I'm rather good at overdoing things. For the past week I've been back to cautiously doing the Wii Fit thing again. Sure my wrist pain's been no better than previously as of late, but I know that I have to be active. I love biking again (it's fun!), though my wrists aren't terrible fans of… Continue reading It feels good to be movin'… but not so great when I'm THIS sore.
