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 [...]
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.
Shakespeare's Birthday

This was the front of our wedding invitations:
…Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! It is an ever-fixèd mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, though his height be taken.
In case you're worried that I [...]
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.
Easter
Monday, April 9, 2007
Easter found us at my inlaws' farm, enjoying a chilly spring day with my wife, her parents, and her sister and her family. Mr. M, who is two and a half (if I recall correctly), entertained us all, especially with his hoarse and throaty shout-out to a ceramic Cookie Monster figurine. ("Coooooooookie Monster!", [...]

Previous entries: Part 1, Part 2.
We got back to Edmonton and dropped the car off. Over half the deposit I'd put on it got refunded, since we didn't keep the car the full week. That was pleasant.
My memory grows hazy of what we did—I know there was much playing with little Miss [...]
Mango salsa
Monday, February 5, 2007
Yummy!
So the Co-op had a sale on case lots of mangoes. Ten mangoes in a box for five bucks. I couldn't resist, especially considering that I have a recipe (from a Co-op flyer, in fact) for mango salsa.
Recipe below:
