As I write this, Halloween night has been fairly quiet and uneventful. Just handing out chocolates and pocketing some for myself - the 1 for you, 2 for me method! I’m surprised at the low turnout because the weather is OK. So far, only about 75 kids have come knocking on our door - many [...]
As you might recall from reading this previous post, my lazy cat Max has a pretty simple life. Sleep, wake up, eat, piss / poop, practice the law of inertia and enery conservation and control the humans. Well, he IS a cat, after all. Realizing that Max has only about 6 to 8 years left [...]
I wanted to wish my amigo Mr. T. a very shiny, happy birthday! He has mentioned at least twice that Saint Crispin’s Day is also observed on Oct. 25. Today is the feast day of the Christian saints and twin brothers, Crispin and Crispinian. Yes, if your first reaction was, “those dudes must be the [...]
My cat Max is possibly the laziest cat in the world. The fat hairball mostly lays around on a snug rug all day and night resting. A rugless surface is approached with much contempt. If the chubby tubby beasty finds himself lying on a cold hardwood floor, he will actually expend the minimum amount of [...]
It’s only because I’m maudlin and bursting with extra thick schmaltz today that I give you one of my favourite poems written, of course, by someone else. Don’t worry, I won’t subject you to a post written all in effing e.e. cummings lowercase. One lovely poem, right after a smattering of random, incoherent musings. Does [...]
I’ve been feeling a little blue lately… Actually, a royal true blue stinker of a mood. I’ll spare you and myself the boring blow-by-blow telling of the why and what of my current funkdom. I told myself that if I ever got a personal soapbox blog one day, I wouldn’t go down that road - [...]
Apparently, yesterday was Friday the 13th. Whoopidoo, my life at this very moment is scarier, but let’s fastforward past my temporary paralysis and moping du jour. We here at fruityoaty prefer to mask that gnawing feeling in the pit of one’s stomache… that simmering, heavy cauldron of dissatisfaction and paranoid suspicion that one’s life is [...]
Get your mind out of the gutter (YOU-know-who-YOU-are) because I will NOT, as the post title may imply only in YOUR imagination, be delving into a discussion on some sort of ehrr… sexual technique or position. Yessir, fruityoaty.com is and always will be porn-free (not free porn). (Message for YOU: that’s 2, count ‘em). Oh, [...]
One of my few readers (I think I have 9 loyal ones and 15 random visitors per week who, according to my stats never return, hahaha!) named Valerie commented on a this previous post asking about some of the WordPress plugins that I’ve integrated into my blog. Valerie is a vegetarian web developer who has [...]
Yes, I know that the Toronto International Film Festival 2006 was over a long time ago and that 23 days after closing night, it’s now fairly low on the blog-worthy freshness meter, however, IT IS my blog and I can do what I want. After this ramble, I’ll probably write another 2 to 3 TIFF-related [...]
Last night, I went to Scott Funeral Home in Mississauga for the viewing (wake) of my Grand Aunt “Nana Daling” Magdalena who passed away peacefully at 11:10 AM on Oct. 3 at The Credit Valley Hospital. She was 95-years old. Yesterday morning, my Mom told me that she had died, but I would have known [...]
