The Sellsword – GoT filk (audio cue: 50′s style Sinatra tune)

Monday, April 30th, 2012

A little rough around the edges… oh yes, that’s him Filthy from sleeping in ditches and hedges…. oh yes, that’s him But you’re going to want him when your outlook’s getting grim He may be a common sellsword But he’s all you can af-ford And you want a surly horde … that’s just like him.   I [...]

We draw our candidates from a small and brackish pool

This is a VERY inspiring video. Yesterday Paul and I helped move concrete.  My reward was yummy veggies and a de-alcoholized Becks.  We got to see Brian and Chari (Brian sucking back coffee and watching us work because he just had a hernia operation and Trent thought he was saying it for laffs but I [...]

Busy weekend

Saturday, April 28th, 2012

Helping Jerome with concrete this afternoon – hope to run into some friends as well. Sucked it up and bought car insurance.  I am putting together a list of work on the car to justify my asking price. Paul also helped by sending me a nice pic of Ziva. Put together a care package for [...]

I used to be a catastrophist, but I’m all right now

I hear through the grapevine that Keith found a job.  I am so glad to see my kids get their feet under them. I think Jeff is going to win our contest. I will be hanging with friends and doing churchy things this weekend, so I am looking forward to a restful time. Jeff and Katie [...]

That is all.

Day 1 cold turkey

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

I am giving up beer for atheist lent. This is awesome resonator slide.  And of course I think of John.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLzs4dnuAbI&feature=share%27%2C%29 Jeff and I have started a contest.  If either of us win, we will both win.  If we both win, everybody will win.  And that’s a contest I can get behind.

Ya think they missed me? Nothing much else to report.

What a day

Tuesday, April 24th, 2012

Trip was fine, weather was so wonderful when I got home. I realized I had just enough energy to do a small shop and get the stone chip that Ziva collected the last time I went to Victoria fixed, and the guys at Crystal Glass on 6th repaired it for nothing because they liked my [...]

Sitting at YVR

Monday, April 23rd, 2012

I’m about to board my flight home, and I am very happy to have been to FKO and even happier to be going to sleep in my own bed. It was awesome to see DJD and Chipper and Catherine and Shirley and Judith and Tammy and I am just vibrating from the glorious circle last [...]

From pooped to peppy and back again

Sunday, April 22nd, 2012

I just ran out of gas at around 12:30 last night, which was unfun, but today I got to hang around in the consuite and saw DJD for four whole hours, which was really really awesome.  He’s about the same as always, and Sandra hung around as long as she could before she went off [...]

Yay!

First person we ran into was Catherine, and then Shirley, and then Phil, and then, and then, and it’s been so lovely.  Chipper is saying “So many redheads…. ” which is making me laugh, because, yes, fandom DOES have a disproportionate number of redheads, both DNA and bottle varieties. Breakfast was oatmeal in a crockpot [...]

We are here

1.  Excellent and wondahful visit with the parental units.  I got a photo scan of the old homestead in SK, had my traditional coffee and cinnamon bun (best commercial cinnamon buns ever) at Dan’s after a lovely ride in the country, communed with some skunk cabbage, watched the hummingbirds, who are quite active these days [...]
