…So I was already in my jammies preparing for bedtime, when Kurt rushes into the bedroom asks me if I wanted to see something extremely gross. He seemed unbelievably disgusted and a little bit disturbed, so I braced myself for the worst. Dead rat in the middle of the living room? Disembodied hand? Girl ghost [...]
eat on the 27th, dance on the 28th.
I turn 27 next week, and to celebrate, I’d like to cash in my Raincity Grill birthday offer next Friday night. Care to join us? Email me or post a comment. We’ll make the reservations by October 26th. Also want to re-connect with swing dancing on the 28th at the Legion on Commercial Drive. Hopefully [...]
tigerdirect.ca rocks.
After an emotional anti-iPod weekend, the folks at www.tigerdirect.ca were nice enough to be the only Canadian retailer for the SanDisk Sansa e280, which is the 8GB equivalent of the Sansa e260 I was half-impressed with. The larger capacity satisfies our storage requirement so if I were to get this as a birthday present, I [...]

My aunties thought it was pregnancy. No, said I, thankfully it’s just a hangover. Leanne did get this great shot of the dinner table. [...]

The user interface is good, the accessories are many and somewhat affordable, and the integration between iPod and iTunes is better than any other player [...]
Día de Enero (Shakira)
Te conocí un día de enero, con la luna en mi nariz Y como ví que eras sincero En tus ojos me perdí Que torpe distracción Y que dulce sensación Y ahora que andamos por el mundo Como Eneas y Benitin Ya te encontre varios rasguños Que te hicieron por ahí Pero mi loco amor [...]
white and nerdy.
Well, I’m not*, but Weird Al Yankovic is…and he’s back! Watch his new music video, “White & Nerdy” *At the very least, I’m not white…
whoops…comments work now.
Since I moved to karenhamilton.ca, I have been feeling a little lonely with the lack of comments from the usual karenclement.ca blog lurkers. After Lumi called me last night, she helped me realize that people were posting comments. But because I upgraded to a new Movable Type version without bothering to read the manual, all [...]
