Juste recently, a shorte while ago, we splurged and put in a quasi-big order to Amazon. It arrived late laste week, juste in time for a four-day weekend and some sporadic Easter reading. My splurge-booke was the latest installment by Brian Greene, The Fabric of the Cosmos, his second attempt to explaine to the simple-folk (like me) the complexities of modern quantum physics and the nature of reality. I read his first book more than a year past, sitting through my lunchbreaks in a [...]
You’ll need to pardon my excitement. Karin and I stopped by the build site last night on our drive back from Calgary: we took the shortcut in, turning down Elerslie Road and piking up Terwilligar. From that angular sort-of vantage we could see something that hadn’t been there before, even as late as Friday night. It was an odd sort of chill to drive down the the street that will soon be included in our address and to round the corner by the park [...]

I took some time after work (and pre-comic book class) yesterday, to park my mocha-drinking self in the infamous Java Hut, and do some serious plot development. The status so far: adding to the twenty or so pages of outline that I had been working on since last week, plus the sixteen pages of scribbles I added to that mess last night, I have a whole thirty-six pages of content-free pages of outline and story-planning material for the novel wrk commencing this weekend. I’m [...]
I saw this on the news last night. It seems after a closely guarded discovery almost ten years ago, there is a move to begin marketing the offspring of a Jurassic era plant discovered in Australia. Would that be odd? Or would owning a propagated copy of a nearly extinct pine tree just be a new fad for a generation of bio-tech heads?
I was in my work clothes. I was hot and tired. I should have taken the day off and joined them.
my recent photo expedition: a lunch break tour of the inner city False Creek park below Granville Bridge. The results were most envigorating, and resulted in the capture of some of the images which can be found on my gallery page, here: www.pbase.com/nanosmurf/alien_flora For some odd reason, it seemed that wherever I wandered in the park, I came across stranger and stranger flowers. Investigate… if you dare. (No, Sharyl. There are no spider pictures to scare you!) And as I’m speaking of photo expeditions, [...]
One day until the weekend. One day until the weekend. ONE DAY UNTIL THE WEEKEND! Don’t get me wrong — I really like my job so far — but I could really use the break. I just want to sleep in again! Realty TV hits a new low – no, really this time! What’s this? I’m sitting here on my living room floor sipping some pink lemonade and contemplating this bizarre attempt at entertainment that has appeared this evening on FOX. It’s called Surprise [...]
