K, priming the walls.
Me, chiseling the shower drain a little wider so my pan would fit.

What I did with my summer vacation
Sunday, June 24, 2007
Well, part of it, anyways.
I removed some moldy drywall from our basement bathroom a while ago, and I've been replacing it for the last little while. Well, actually, I've been hanging drywall yesterday and today; before that was some prep work, some more demolition, and a trip to the Peg to visit our respective [...]
Update

It's been a little while, hasn't it?
Tonight I have judo. Next weekend I may be heading into the city for a coaching technical class. Yes, the two of them are related.
I've been working on Everything that never happened, but not enough. I need to get some serious writing done tomorrow.
Facebook is, as [...]
Hmmm.

Maybe the NDP's goofy slogan worked after all; they've got another majority, the biggest one yet.
In other news: I've gone twenty-four entire hours without hiccuping once. Awesome!
And now I must R-U-N-N-O-F-T to go pick up my wife.
On and off my meds
Saturday, May 19, 2007
Days I've been hiccuping: 9.
I had my wisdom teeth removed on May 10th; since then I've had on-and-off bouts of hiccuping lasting, oh, three or four hours at a stretch. It's really quite distressing. Okay, it's !@#$ing irritating. You wormed it out of me.
I've been to two doctors about it. The first [...]
Election funnies
Saturday, May 12, 2007
So there's a provincial election coming up. The incumbent party, the New Democrats, have decided to use "Forward, Not Back" as a slogan in this election:
Which makes me wonder if no one—no one—in their entire campaign apparatus has seen the Simpsons episode where Kang and Kodos run for election on Earth:
I mean, really. [...]
No longer quite so toothsome as I once was
Friday, May 11, 2007
Yesterday I had my wisdom teeth out.
So it's been pudding and yogurt and "meal-replacement drinks" and (now) consommé.
This is me, about an hour ago. My right jaw is still a little bit swollen, but all things considered, I'm recovering quite well.
Remains of Earth Day
Monday, April 23, 2007
So yesterday there were a bunch of people on campus, celebrating Earth Day. Today there was a sculpture left behind, and I can't honestly tell if there's a statement being made by the sculpture or not. It looks to my non-connoisseur's eye like someone threw a bunch of small objects and bits of [...]
Of Funerals and Family
Sunday, April 22, 2007
The real tragedy of funerals, of course, is that the guest of honour doesn't get to enjoy all the familial good times.
On April 11th, my grandmother died. It was one of those unexpected-expected deaths: you kind of knew it was coming, someday, but you didn't know it was going to be today.
Grandma
Friday, April 13, 2007
Two days ago, at about 8:30 in the morning, my mom called me at work. It took me a few seconds to recognize her voice; she sounded very, very down. Before she said it, I knew what she was going to tell me.
My grandmother had gone into the hospital the night before. [...]
