Okay, now here’s some MAJOR news for you. Drum roll, please. BANJO CAN FLY! He turned one month old today, and he celebrated by flying off my finger while I was washing his face after breakfast. I was so surprised. I just assumed Piccolo would fly first, since he’s the oldest. And I thought it was [...] On Friday night, GC and I went to Elmak’s art show at La Petite Mort Gallery. I meant to tell you about it before the show, so you could go too, but unfortunately I dropped that ball. Elmaks is the street artist who created the Swap Boxes. The show was great, and GC bought a [...] One day last year, Carl – who drives the #14 bus – asked me what I’d done the night before. I told him I’d made artist trading cards for swap boxes. He’d never heard of swap boxes, so I explained. Carl said it sounded like geocaching, a hobby he and his son share. I’d never [...] Street Art: Kelly Morrisseau There’s a new piece of street art in town, and it’s not funny. Located in Minto Park, at Elgin and Gilmour, the art installation consists of a painting of Kelly Morrisseau, and a short summary of some of the more salient details of her short life and horrific death.
Kelly’s life and [...] This is traditionally my favourite weekend of the whole year. The Great Glebe Garage Sale and National Capital Race Weekend both happen this weekend! What more could a person ask of a single weekend? GC and I were up at the crack of dawn today for the massive garage sales over in the Glebe. By [...] Like Laurie Kingston says, it’s not ALL about breast cancer. So I’m going to try to think about – and blog about – other things too, as if everything were not profoundly different now. You know that wacky bright yellow condemned house on Gladstone Avenue? I love that house. It’s got its own movie now! Go [...] Elmaks contacted me recently to let me know that there’s a Swap Box movie in the works! A short film, actually. He and the filmmaker are seeking input from Swap Box users: they want to hear your Swap Box stories. Find out more at the brand new official Swap Box blog. I miss having a [...] You know what? It’s hard to write the next post after the Bank Street Bully posts. Until this week, the most attention this blog ever got was when the Yarn Harlot mentioned it last January and two thousand knitters came to visit on a single day. The most comments a single post had ever generated [...] We were walking up Bank Street on Sunday when I spotted a new swap box on the other side of the street at Bank & Second. GC was impressed with my eagle eyed powers of observation, and said so as I bolted into Bank Street traffic to get to it. Did you know the Swap [...] If you’re a blogger, you already know that sometimes it’s hard to think of anything to blog about, while at other times you have a surplus of blogging ideas. Right now I’m in overflow mode, which is a good place to be. I’m not finished blogging about poverty, and I also want to blog about [...] |
