My Kingdom Return

By | September 27, 2010

In just over two weeks we are returning to England. We were pretty content with our 2009 trip, and after upgrading to a house in May we thought we would stay within Canada for a while. However, those plans changed when we learned that the family we stayed with will be leaving England in 2011… Read More »

My Summer Roast Toast

By | September 25, 2010

The end of the summer has come and I only had a single hot dog roast. It was long overdue, and hopefully we will get a functioning barbecue in the near future so I don’t stall out at unlucky thirteen for the winter months.

My Third Tube Iteration

By | August 26, 2010

I failed my second annual Tube Steak Challenge but I am committed to regaining my first year form by consuming an average of more than one hot dog a week. Weekly trips to the Sherwood Park Farmers’ Market have helped add to this number, and while none have been over an open fire that will… Read More »

My Painted Hands

By | August 5, 2010

For the last month if anyone asked us what was new we’d respond with: painting or working on the house.

My Technology Crutch

By | July 31, 2010

I love my iPhone. For 25 months I have had that mobile device with me. It follows me everywhere and is an extension of my life. I have become increasingly dependent on it, and it wasn’t until that I no longer had the iPhone on me when I realized how much of my life revolved… Read More »

My Dream Is Reality

By | July 16, 2010

Your mind is the scene of the crime. This was my first midnight screening and I’m surprised it took me this long to see one. I have been anticipating Inception for so long it feels like this movie was always in development but the last year was building up to 12:05AM Friday morning. I will… Read More »

My Failed Challenge Attempt

By | July 3, 2010

I was unable to complete the second annual Tube Steak Challenge for 2009-2010. At the count of 45.5 my quest to repeat the Tube Steak Challenge comes to a depressing end. Looking back on the year I think there were some highs, but it was a hot dog season filled with lows. Not going out… Read More »

My Mind Heist

By | June 16, 2010

There are two movies I am looking forward to most in 2010. The first is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, but my excitement for Inception is miles ahead of the first half of the final Potter movie. Since Christopher Nolan finished work on The Dark Knight I have been patiently waiting to… Read More »
