Watch my life unravel...
|
First, a little background: Of the three six-month old lovebirds, Oboe has his own cage, and Piccolo and Banjo share a cage. Banjo has been impossible to live with lately. She’s been aggressive to both me and Piccolo. She bites easily and she bites hard. I can’t even put food in the cage while she’s in […] I was out walking the other day, listening to an old episode of This American Life, the theme of which was parasites. There was a story about a parasite called an isopod that enters a fish’s mouth (a snapper, to be precise), and devours its tongue. Then it turns around and sits where the tongue […] January GC and I went to anti-prorogue rallies and Constable Eric Czapnik’s funeral. We drove to Brockville where Grace fixed my socks. I acquired art from the Astronaut Love Triangle and GC built a scary fire. We tried to save the Hartman’s Piano, signed up for a creative writing course, got into Indian cooking, participated in […] You know what I’m going to do in January? I’m going to walk from Adelaide, Australia to Whyallia, which is 381 kilometers. It’s a virtual walk and I have to average over 15,363 steps per day to accomplish it. I’ve been walking a lot lately. The scenery has been dull (mostly just busy streets and endless […] Police Chief Vern White has left the country to attend his own wedding and honeymoon. The timing is pretty awful, but he had no way of knowing in advance that his wedding date would conflict with the breaking loose of all hell for the Ottawa Police. David Reevely says the Chief should have stayed home. That’s […] POWER (Prostitutes of Ottawa Work Education Resist) today released a fascinating report about the conditions, context and challenges faced by sex workers in Ottawa, with particular emphasis on their experiences with the Ottawa police. In light of the findings of this report, POWER has asked the Ontario Human Rights Commission to conduct a public […] Looking at my recent web stats – particularly the keyword searches that bring people to this site – I see that I’m getting a big spike in traffic from people googling police brutality in Ottawa. They’re coming from all across Canada, as well as the US and other countries. And they’re coming, of course, because […] Did you read this appalling story in today’s Citizen? It’s about a young woman named Stacy Bonds who was taken into police custody for no good reason, while walking home one night in 2008. She was essentially seized off the streets of Ottawa while doing nothing wrong. While in police custody, she was physically assaulted […] The last two days I’ve been following the sentencing hearing of Colonel Russell Williams. (For those of you unfamiliar with the case, Col. Williams was commander of Canada’s largest military base. About two years ago he started breaking into homes in his neighbourhood(s) and stealing the underwear of women and girls. He took photographs of […] I’m so sorry about the rat infestation at Confederation Park. I honestly didn’t think it would come to this. In retrospect, it’s just surprising that it took so long. Back in the early 80s, my son’s father, John, told me that he’d always wanted a pet rat, but his mother wouldn’t let him have one, and […] |
