Kurt encouraged me to go out on our usual Saturday “date night”, as he wanted some quality time at home with Mr. HDTV and Mr. Plethora of Football Championships. Having brought home my figure skates that the in-laws gave me a few years back, I called up the usual weekend folk to see who was [...]
Ramblings
on being tiny.
Hear, hear…for the most part. Like Ching-Yin, I fall victim to the pitfalls of being short and slender. Inaccessible shelves. The world of Nine West forever barred to me. Dangling feet syndrome on all manner of chairs. Jars that mock my freakishly small and weak hands. The absence of curves (sigh). Try getting all your [...]
christmas photos are up.
Happy 2008 to all! The Flickr album containing all the Christmas pics from Winnipeg and Gimli is now complete. I started to shoot in RAW in December, which I am now a huge fan of, but it does mean that you have to manually generate a JPEG for each RAW image you want to post [...]
a christmas wedding.
Greetings from Winnipeg! The fam is back from our sojourn to Gimli. There have been plenty of goings-on, including a couple of scares about the health of Kurt and Kaleigh, who both had to be rushed to the hospital on Christmas day. They are in better spirits and on the road to recovery now, so [...]
my husband, the chartered accountant.

An active imagination somewhat explains my propensity for Technicolor dreams. Unfortunately, my recent obsession with manga with demonic storylines and tonight’s chugging of Guinness resulted in a particularly gruesome vampire nightmare. Woke up in a panic and found it wasn’t even midnight. In my attempt to calm my nerves, I re-watched this beautiful timelapse video [...]
guess who’s got a DSLR…
Yippee! My birthday’s come early this year! Kurt was planning to keep my present stashed at his office until my actual birthday (the 28th), but after much threatening pleading on my part, he capitulated and brought home a large parcel on Friday afternoon. So Dixon, as you requested, we documented the unravelling of said camera [...]
missing: one jack-in-the-box antenna head.
On Friday night, we discovered that Elisha was sans her JITB antenna cover. Are Canadians so deprived of silly car decor that they must steal ours? Shame on you, Canada. In memoriam:
i wouldn’t want bonsai chickens in my strategic performance plan.
Note to self: don’t leave computer unlocked around Ching-Yin. She’s mildly malevolent =)
happy 22nd birthday, little brother.
My mother uploaded the cutest grade-school photo of my baby brother to Flickr. He was so adorable…where did we go wrong? =P Just kidding…birthday smooches from your Ate!
