Aborted FB Status
This morning I thought I'd be a little carpy and witty and post a Facebook status of "Ain't got no money, ain't got no style. Ain't got no woman to make you smile". Just after thinking this, I saw a little rabbit running around near where I work. It was only running on 3 legs, so something had happened to the fourth. As pedestrians were walking ( Read more... ) -

A catchy hit inspired by a lovestruck Tokyo girl’s new life in Malmö has soared to the top of the charts in Japan, as a wave of Swedish influences washes over the country's musical ( Read more... ) -
Air Canada - Bleh!
As I sit here in the Heathrow terminal waiting for my connecting flight to Toronto, I see the direct flight to Edmonton actually leaves an hour earlier than the leg in my trip. This is the direct flight that NEVER shows up as an option when I'm trying to book flights to Europe, but that ALWAYS seems to show up when folks from Europe book flights ( Read more... ) -
Favor to ask from my Edmonton Friends
I have a guest who will be staying with me for 2 weeks in November who has an allergy to cats...of which I have three. I am looking to see if anyone might be willing to board my pets during this period to save them the stress of a stay in a kennel. They are very friendly and largely entertain themselves, but will cuddle with you until you say ' ( Read more... ) -
Fear Itself
I saw an interview with the producer for a short suspense/horror anthology called Fear Itself....actually he was interviewed on Oh Susannah last month. The most notable aspect of the series for myself is that it is all shot in and around Edmonton. I just got finished watching the first episode "The Sacrifice" shot almost entirely in Fort Edmonton ( Read more... ) -
Dr. Jones, I presume?
I haven't yet heard of any plans for a group viewing of the new installment in the Indiana Jones series. Is anyone interested? Tix are now available, so I assume the first couple days of viewings are selling fast!
I can't do a poll....but reply if you are interested...with your suggested viewing times/dates. -
Need a Hand....with Shopping
I've decided I need to supplement my winter outer wear with another coat. I think I'm looking for a 3/4 length black car coat....duffel coat...something a little more dressy, but not an overcoat you wear with a suit jacket ( Read more... ) -

Time to Lose the Wires?
As some of my friends have discovered, the reasons for maintaining both land lines and cellular phones are beginning to decrease - as are the limitations imposed by such a move. I'm seriously considering a switch of my internet (get a 6-month promo) and removal of my land line. If you are someone who might have need to call me, and don't ( Read more... ) -
Weekend Update
Generally a relaxing weekend, including an afternoon of turkey, was had by all. On Monday I put a second set of weatherstripping on both the front and back doors (because whoever installed the last one cut them too short to meet, thus leaving gaps through which one could see daylight). I also used a couple cans of sprayfoam to attempt to seal up ( Read more... )
