Only in Canada!
I can't believe it! There is a yarn/fibre shop that accepts Canadian Tire money as payment (at full face value). Really. When you click on the "We accept Canadian Tire Money as Payment" link, you get this:
Yes, we really do. So go dig through the glove box, the MacGyver drawer in the kitchen, the kids' toyboxes and everywhere else that Canadian ( Read more... ) -
Wii!
I just saw the pre-order ad for the new Wii Resort!!! Must. Have. The archery and swordplay look awesome. Now, if only they'd come out with a Wii curling to go with that new improved 1:1 motion sensor! -
life in cow town
You know what rocks? NOT living downtown during stampede. Not being woken up by kids screaming, blaring music or wooping and hollering while they guard their seats for 4 hours before the parade starts. Not being unable to fall asleep because the bar across the street is part of the pub crawls, has an outdoor area with outdoor music blaring at 2 am ( Read more... ) -
Going, going, gone!
I'm moving! Not only am I moving back to the NW, which I prefer by far, but I'm moving to a nicer, bigger place that is closer to work, and that's a bit cheaper. It is a walkup, however, so I'm decluttering.
I have a pair of size 9 downhill Nordica NR980 ski boots (iAS/GS, 4 buckle front closure), including a steel carry rack up for grabs - FREE! - ( Read more... ) -
Check this out!
Ok, so I have to admit it's been months since I posted here. I've mostly been posting on my crafty blog lately. However, this I had to share!

She just posted that the first book, ( Read more... ) -
Alive!
Yes, I'm still alive.. I've been reading LJ lately, but have only been posting on my crafty blog, since it seems to be the only cheery news I have to share lately. I'm kind of excited today, though, because I've been discussing details of a possible sale of my very own hand-dyed yarn - before the Etsy storefront (basically Ebay for handmade goods ( Read more... ) -

Grab the closest book and open to page 123, find the fifth sentence and write the next three sentences, and then tag five of your lj friends.
"Of course, the above statement is simplistic. Each method includes several logical and more or less obvious variations. For example, spinning prepared top over the knuckle or out of the fold can be cited as a ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
There was an LJ strike? I saw someone post about it, then I saw a link to the post that talked about it... and I still can't figure out what it was for or what it was supposed to accomplish. -
Here be dragons... and earthquakes and time machines!
Woohoo! Naomi Novik's new book comes out this summer; I really have to get in gear and read her last one... Also, I got new zip disks yesterday: The Time Machine (H.G. Wells classic), and 10.5 (an actual disaster-of-the-week movie I haven't seen yet! -
Weee! I'm a dork, and I'm lovin' it!
I was strolling through eb games this morning killing time before a meeting about possibly going back to my olf company. And then it happened. A little flash from the discount parts bin caught my eye... it was Chrono-Trigger! The very first RPG I ever played, years ago on a friends borrowed SNES. They redeveloped it for the PS1 and packaged it with ( Read more... )
