Watch my life unravel...
|
David Scrimshaw told me once that despite my cloaked identity it would just be a matter of time until all my friends, family and coworkers found out about my blog. In retrospect, I think he might have been right. Over time, more and more people I know have learned, through various channels, of the blog’s […] This post is just a little hodgepodge of things. 1) Have any of you ever had any training from a company called Eliquo in Ottawa? I’m looking for high quality Dreamweaver CS3 training. If you’ve ever taken a course (Dreamweaver or anything else) from Eliquo, I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts about them. Also, if there are […] As I was walking through Westboro on Sunday, someone stopped me and said “Can you help me out? It’s awful being homeless.” It was a woman with a cart, holding out a box lined with a clean paper towel. As I reached into my pocket for some change, she said “Even $20 would help, […] I don’t know if any of you are participating in the Ottawa Citizen’s Worst Bus Route poll over on the Greater Ottawa blog, but I see that my local bus – the #14 – is a strong contender for first place.

(One of the best things about living alone is you can have whatever you want for dinner.) I saw the happiest woman at the grocery store. She might even […] Yesterday on my lunch hour I went to the mayor’s place. There was an open house at 700 Sussex, featuring two condos for sale and one for rent. I was greeted by Cindy, the Happy Realtor, who managed to extract a fair amount of personal information from me just by asking. She got my name, […] 10. You won’t choke and your eyes won’t bleed when you walk through a cluster of smokers outside a bar or office building, because your body will be tough and resilient. 9. You’ll get to hang out with the cool people, because all the cool people smoke. (Except in the winter – then all the cold […] I went to the Folk Festival with someone who likes to make fun of it. He jokes about the ageing hippies and their tofu specials and their tie-dyed hemp clothing and political slogans, and the fact that the coffee lineup is longer than the beer lineup and the smokers go for off-site strolls so […] On my lunch break yesterday I headed over to Parliament Hill to visit the cats again. But I got distracted by the sight of hundreds of bums up in the air on the front lawn of the Peace Tower. Upon closer inspection, I recognized those bums as Downward Dog yoga bums. This of course got me […] |
