Tag: Snapshots of My Life

What was I up to this week… well, I did start a little bit of bushwhacking in the veggie garden, eliminating a lot of the overgrowth in the tomatos bed and finding a cluster of ripe and delicious cherry tomatos buried in the middle of it all. That was...

Well, it’s that time of the week again: time for another vapid life update blog. Shortly before writing this I was chatting with my brother as he looked out at the front garden. Close to the window is the hummingbird feeder I mentioned before, so I asked my usual...

Well, last week’s heatwave peaked right on schedule on Monday afternoon, and it maxed out at 108 in my town instead of the predicted 111. Granted, whichever spot in the blazing sun on my concrete patio that has the outdoor temperature sensor that’s connected to my central air system...

So… greetings from Hell week: And outside: Monday will be even worse: 41 degrees Celsius (yes, I know I mix Fahrenheit and Celsius. I actually like Fahrenheit better, though.) This seems appropriate: Well, at least it’s a relatively dry heat. I remember when I lived in Vancouver there would...

So, today’s long rambling rant isn’t me bitching about bands or whatever, it’s me bitching about me. But also society/culture, but mostly me since at the end of the day, I am responsible for what I wear. Y’see… I haven’t been happy about what I’ve seen in the mirror...

Well, as predicted last week or the week before, the vast majority of the cleaning for my brother’s return happened within the last 24 hours, ie, within the last 48 hours before he gets back tomorrow night. Spare room: check. Bathrooms: check. Kitchen/dining room: check. Laundry room: check. Living...

Well… here I was yesterday afternoon thinking, shit, another Saturday blog with nothing much to report other than some of the peonies have started to bloom and what the Hell do I have to show for the week that’s interesting for a blog… Careful what you wish for and...

Slow news week, but whatever. Two weeks until my brother returns and I need to get the spare room ready for him. Let’s get real: this will probably all be done in the last 48 hours and not a moment sooner. In terms of other clean-up, my dad got...
