Another turn around the Sun.

Wow, I was a little grim last week, no? I’ve always been dark around my birthday, and was expecting this year to be more of the same. And yeah, the couple of weeks leading up to it were a pretty … Continue reading

I’m not safe at home… or the vet office, apparently.

So, Rumble hasn’t been feeling so hot. Nothing horrible, just a bacterial infection on his skin that has him itching and gnawing on his paws. Being the responsible (read: fretful) and sometimes overprotective (read: occasionally I will threaten passersby who … Continue reading

I’m a big believer in gun control…

… especially when I’m the one in control. Yeah, I know, haha. Seriously, I don’t think guns should be accessible by the general public except in the most controlled circumstances, and I HATE sport hunting. That being said, when I … Continue reading

So yeah, I was recently the victim of a vehicular kablammo.

My neighbourhood SUCKS when it comes to crazy drivers. In the summer of 2009 a truck turning right on the corner downstairs hit and killed a toddler in a stroller. It was really horrible, but not because it was a … Continue reading

Evil, evil junkies…

So, I was walking the dog yesterday morning when we were jumped by a couple of crackheads. It sounds much more dramatic than it actually was, really. We were under the overpass at Carrall St. by the time Rumble did … Continue reading

I’d kick a bunny for a cheeseburger.

So very, very hungry. If you’ve read previous posts you know how I go on ad nauseum about the evils of P-90X and how I’m always getting up early and jumping around like an idiot in a vain attempt to … Continue reading

Fringe Division is in the hizzy.

I was walking down Granville Street after work this afternoon on my way to pick Jeff up at his office when I came across this: The guys behind Fringe were downtown shooting a scene that looked like a follow-up to … Continue reading

You have a dirty mind.

Jeff and I, despite having been together for going on six years, are still in love.  Obnoxiously so.  Our friends have even made a point of bringing it to our attention.  Still, we persist.  Like most couples, we have our … Continue reading

Words fail me… just like they failed this guy, it seems:

Schmotography is schwonderful.

So yeah, this one is a little weird, in a cool way. Apparently I’m kind of a published photographer. Who knew? A while ago I got an email from a strange person telling me “good news!”   Usually emails like … Continue reading

Not the tip I could have used at the time.

Another random story from my past. 1995: After my first failed attempt at university, I shamelessly begged money from my mom and travelled out to Vancouver.  I wanted to create a life as far from Ottawa and my family as … Continue reading

Bad poops for Rumble = insight into the Zombie Apocalypse.

I know, I know – it’s like how a parent’s life can become largely an orbit around anything and everything to do with their child. That’s how it probably seems with every second post here; all Rumble all the time, … Continue reading

Welcome to the jungle…

A year or two ago I got a bug in my ear that since we have a solarium, we should get some plants to put in it and green up our place a little bit.  Our real estate agent (the … Continue reading
