Why an average performance can still be awesome
Today was the kickoff Pedestrian Sunday, and the amalgamation of Shades of Araby, Tribe Maya Fire, and Tribe WaiWaiZii/Vayastara performed in the aptly-chosen Dancing Days location in Kensington Market. The rain was good enough to hold off, and the familiar vinyl stage made an appearance, though having to dance in potholes and on an angle meant ( Read more... ) -
Sending up the geek-signal
Anyone going to Ad Astra later on the Friday night with room for a passenger? I've got an ASL class until 5:30 that I really can't skip, and the folks I'm travelling with have 5:00 panels. -
Self publishing?
I'm seeing the self-publishing news making the rounds of teh interwebz with great interest, though I have not had time to do anything more than skim the lengthy articles (I'm writing a crapton of new material for work, and it takes up a lot of time). But the one thing I don't see addressed ( Read more... ) -
Bakka Bechdel Project
So I'm testing something, and I could use some help from my extremely literate friendlist, seeing as it might be difficult for me to read 30 books between now and the time at which I need this data.
I've made a spreadsheet of the top 10 bestsellers at Bakka in each category for Hardcover, Trade, and Mass Market (less the ones that appear in ( Read more... ) -
So What Do You Eat?
Working from home today thanks to the underwhelming (but still class-cancelling) Snowmageddon in Toronto, and taking a break for lunch. I've been discussing the SCD with a few co-workers, especially in light of our staff outing to Winterlicious next week (Cafe California is awesome and has promised they can work around my restrictions), and the ( Read more... ) -

Yeah, yeah, I know. I suck for updates ( Read more... ) -
Cooking up a storm
I've been saying that even if nothing else comes of this, the SCD diet will have been worth it because it's taught me to appreciate real food again, without all the additives and things that are seemingly inescapable in anything you can buy off the shelves. Because I'm avoiding any complex carbohydrates (that's all refined sugars and grains), I've ( Read more... ) -
Annual Post-Holiday Check-in
Yeah,so apparently keeping this thing updated is not a thing I do well. So where do I begin ( Read more... ) -
Moving day
I'm finally moving my things back out of Bakka and into my house on Monday October 4. It's been a long time coming, but we've finally got the truck booked, and we'll be ready to go in the morning. Are any of you Toronto folks available to help get stuff in and out of the truck? I'll pay with Starbucks or Timmies. :o) -
Dashing and Dariing, Courageous and Caring...
I don't usually have Saturday mornings off. Since I started working at the museum in 2003, I've almost always been scheduled to work weekends unless I booked it off because I'm doing something. But I'm teaching summer camp at the moment, which means I actually get weekends like a normal person. And having the incredibly rare Saturday morning off ( ( Read more... )
