I live! Still!
The last couple weeks have been… well, busy as royal hell. Christmas and new years will do that. Of course, and then I wound up on a week’s vacation and didn’t feel like touching this thing even just to make sure it still worked. But vacation ends tomorrow, and then … Read the rest

December roughly translated is holy crap it’s busy?
Between work, Christmas shopping, and the general insanity that is my life around about this time every year, not surprisingly I’ve managed a grand total of like 2.5 attempts at entries on this here blog in this here month. I finished my shopping for Christmas about a week or so … Read the rest

My boss can read minds.
Staying up all night is a bad idea, even if I do end up talking to a very wonderful young lady in the process. But I did, so I’ll probably pay dearly for it today. Not this morning, however. I came in half bagged, and the boss bought me coffee. … Read the rest

I have fallen off the blogging wagon.
And it’s admitedly my own damn fault. But I still live, at least for the most part. And I’ll make a more concerted effort to actually post on here. At some point. Like… maybe on my lunch hour. Maybe. Lord knows I have a lot to write about in a … Read the rest

I have officially lived in Ottawa for a year.
Well, actually, over that now. Over that by… about a week. Which means I’ve almost had internet access from Ottawa for a year. I wasn’t sure whether or not I’d keep my relatively little sanity when I shoved my almost life into boxes and got the hell out of Pembroke.… Read the rest

Because a week with no update is plenty long enough.
Sadly, not much was missed in this neck of the woods. Lots of cold, lots more snow, a little tiny bit of damn that’s cold, and… well, that’s it. Well, besides my team finally stringing together a win or 3 but the obligatory entry that tosses all 3 wins into … Read the rest

Well, they haven’t killed each other yet.
Guess that makes it official. And here I was hoping there might be some small chance for salvation. Oh well, if I’m going to have that particular sister-in-law, at least I can be secure in the knowledge that she will be an hour and a half away from me. I’d … Read the rest

Why I don’t go by ‘Jim’.
My father and I both have the same name. So to make it less of a headache on both of us, he goes by Jim, and I go by James. And where the legal, given name is required, one of us will usually stick our middle initial in there as … Read the rest

How long will this call go?
it’s pretty much quarter past 2. I’m off in just over an hour and a half. Can I stretch this call out that long? Would it be in my best interest to do so? If it means I can get outa here relatively on time… hell yeah. So… would I? … Read the rest

The 2007 Ottawa Santa Clause parade…
Well, I do have to say–regardless to what I actually thought about last night’s parade, it was still significantly better than last year’s Pembroke equivalent. That, of course, in the sense that the child we’re forced to affectionately call my brother’s fiance was, in fact, not present at this one. … Read the rest
