We took the baby lovebirds out of Billie’s cage yesterday morning, and brought them to my house. They’re living inside a parakeet bathtub which is lined with shredded paper and which sits atop a stack of baby towels inside a blue plastic bin on top of a heating pad on the table in my art […]

Watch my life unravel...

Before I tell you about the Yarn Sale, I have to tell you what happened AFTER the yarn sale. We were going to have a nap after all that exhausting yarn shopping, and then we were going to eat dinner and go to Shakespeare in the Park. But first I checked my email and […] A sign in GC’s neighbourhood: Speaking of driving carefully, here’s a video my friend Murtisha posted on Facebook yesterday. It’s seven minutes of car accidents. I watched the whole thing with my hand clasped over my mouth. It’s the stuff nightmares are made of. Viewer discretion advised. Be careful out there. As you know, I spent much of the weekend watching birds having sex. But that wasn’t all I did. I also spent a fair amount of time glued to my computer, monitoring the constant stream of Twitter updates from protesters and journalists at the G8/G20 protests in Toronto. Trying to make sense of it. At […] I was at GC’s house, watching the lovebirds engaging in elaborate foreplay rituals, when the earthquake hit. At first GC and I just looked at each other as the noise and the shaking intensified, and then the realization that it was an earthquake dawned on us.

There were burgers and bake sales and plant sales and raffles and all kinds of thing, but the thing that captured our attention for the longest period of time was the honey bee exhibit. […] It was one year ago today that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It seems like WAY longer than a year ago. And it still feels a little surreal, even after the fact. When the nurse called and told me my doctor wanted to see me, I knew. They don’t make an appointment just to tell […] The other day I heard that Stephen Hawking thinks there’s probably life elsewhere in the universe, and it’s going to come to Earth with a bad attitude. Chances are, he said, that it will have used up its own planet and will want to conquer us and colonize Earth with its own kind. Given this […] Whenever I try to fix my own knitting mistakes, I make them worse instead of better. I can tink stocking stitch, but nothing fancier than that. The first time I messed up the socks I’m knitting for GC, Grace fixed them for me. This time Carmen bailed me out. She came over to my house […] |
