Living. 5

Edit 1: (Great, that title has put the theme song to that classic (?) Ann Jillian sitcom in my head. Man, 80′s sitcom intro posing was wonderful, eh? Anyone else every practice their turn-to-the-camera-and-smile as a kid just in case a chyron with your name on it appeared somehow?) Edit 2: (A few minutes after ...

Oxbridge-level cleverness. 1

My first webpage was called The Future Husbands list. I think I made it in about 1995. Don’t look it up.

Having a reasonable sense of proportion.

All this Olympic nonsense is overshadowing the fact that Curiosity landed on Mars last night. Still hooked on the former, though. However, as it is not 900 degrees Celsius outside, I’m going to make myself go out and enjoy the outside, even if it seems the heat stroke recovery was impeded by summer allergies kicking ...

H words.

Just had a no-good, very bad run (only 6.5K) just now. Too many tacos yesterday, delaying my departure by an hour so I could watch trampolining (the sun, she is strong), and not bringing water all led to just running out of steam (possibly literally). As I have to be at my trivia thing in ...

Being slower, lower, and weaker. 2

I’d blame writers’ block for the lack of original and creative thought (and the increasingly short entries and late-in-the-day hittings of the ‘publish’ button), but really? It’s just the fucking Olympics.

I suspect my teenaged interest in it had more to do with having a crush on Pete Sampras than a real passion for the game.

Empowerment.

Recovering via Fudgee-Os post-bimonthly bloodletting and therefore blogging from my phone.

Being human.

It’s Mothers’ Day, per the greeting card industry in North America and Australia, and I don’t have any mother figures in my life anymore. I’d rather salute my friends who are mothers on non-invented holidays, like most every other day of the year, but I so frequently forget to. Mums are pretty great, though. So ...

Challenges that sound like radio stations.

Wrote this Moozy Bizzy Quonthly yesterday. Found out it was the second month it was running, though only the first it was done in Ottawa. A shame, really, because there’s a cumulative score over the course of a year’s worth of quizzes. Of course, as I scored 49 on this one and the top scorer ...

Billy Van.

It’s a beautiful day, so I’m going to go enjoy it instead of sitting at the computer. Have a trivia challenge thingo this afternoon, so I have to make the most of the nice weather before then. In the meantime, here is an episode of ‘Eureka!’ about inertia.
