Did Somebody Say Pi (e)?

Several people have been asking me what the password-protected Pi area in my blog contains AND have also been demanding login accounts and passwords. Pi is accessible via that funny looking “n” in my top nav menu. I didn’t use Times Roman font which is why it doesn’t look like the normal Pi symbol. Pi [...]

Last of the Summer Plums

I know that the last day of summer officially ended on Sep. 22, but for me, summer wasn’t over until we had plucked every plum from the Damson plum tree in our backyard garden. We have a few fruit trees in our garden, but the Damson plum tree is by far my favourite. Damson plums [...]

Avian Flu, Chicken Soup for the Soul and Poultrygeist

When I’m sick, I like to curl up in bed in my PJ’s and be served comfort food made by OTHER people. One of those foods was chicken soup, particularly my Mom’s - a nurturing food of fragrant comfort and homey warmth. Now, I don’t know much about the actual physical benefits and/or curative myths [...]

Felt Like Avian Flu

Sorry, I haven’t posted anything in my blog for quite some time as I’ve been down and out with a cold and flu since Sunday, Sep. 17. Well, I’m not really sorry, but it seemed like the polite thing to say. I do feel much better now even with the remaining sniffles and I can [...]

A Break from TIFF and 9/11 Me

[ Edit: OK, I actually wrote this on Sep. 11 but I only remembered to post it tonight, Sep. 13. I'm backtracking the post date to Sep. 11, 2006 because it's my blog and I can do what I want. ] Today, with no pre-selected movies on the viewing schedule, I got a needed break from [...]

Snakes on a Blog and Toronto International Film Festival

Hello, I’m on blog content writing hiatus (maybe?) while I take the time to fix some small blog bugs that I’ve been putting off fixin’ as well as ummm… paying attention to some things in my life that I’ve put on the backburner. It has only been a week since the first inaugural post and [...]

Take Some Time to Eat the Flowers

I mentioned previously in my About Me page that I own a cat named Max (or rather, I’m owned by a cat). Max is a chubby, sedentary, male Heinz 57 indoor furball whose favourite activities are lying down, followed by getting up when it’s time to eat, and then lying down again. He is very [...]

Searching for Sex in All the Wrong Places

Admit it, the title got your attention. Perked up those pervy eyes, huh? Yes, s-e-x sells. Now, before y’all presume that this is a post about ME “searching for sex in all the wrong places”, I’ll nip that thought in the bud. No, it most definitely is NOT. Besides, I always know where to look [...]

Software Testing for Dummies!

Use your mastery of the mouse by clickety-clicking on the image to the left! You might just have a career in software testing! Well, the joke seemed funny at the time. At least it got a few laughs. Hey, I’d certainly buy a copy if the book has a chapter on “How To Convince Management [...]
