Dear diary….

So I was cleaning up a bunch of draft posts I’ve made to see what to finish and what to chuck, and I found this one from about a year ago, when we were living on Government Street in Victoria. Living in Prince George, you’re not exposed to architecture from more than a few decades […]

Finished laying hardwood floor. Had a nice dinner at my parents. Got home, around 10:30 realized ferret was missing, and would have been outside for at least the last five hours. Panic, put out kennels and treats, set out to put up missing posters, and see a cat down the street stalking something. Run, run, […]

After our trip to southern Alberta (photo set now 1/6 done!), my girlfriend carried on for a visit with family in Vancouver with her dad. Before going, I loaded up her iPod with some new podcasts including my current obsession, This American Life. I don’t know which episode in particular, because I haven’t heard it […]

A few years back, we were visiting friends in Vancouver. We decided to go to White Spot for dinner, and one of us tried to order the Pirate Pak. He got it, but minus the ship– he was told they weren’t allowed to give it to adults. On that day, I learned that the days […]

Not that I would expect anyone to notice, since a five-day blogging absence is not at all unusual for me, but I’ve been gone for the last few days on a southern Alberta adventure. We managed to do everything in our draft itinerary and then some, and it was a great trip. It will be […]

Nice surprise in the Best of PG 2010, published by the Prince George Free Press. I suppose I would have less to do with the second one, but still. Building awareness. Thanks to everyone who voted!

Remember this? We did finish the job. Also, we got a new bench/trunk for the kitchen. Lots of seating and a good place to put the printer and various other goods.  To see more pics, here’s my Flickr set.

I’m going to a friend’s wedding in Lethbridge, and so will be visiting a part of the country I’ve never been before: southern Alberta. I really had no idea what was down there so I went to the library and picked up some travel books. Now I’m wishing I’d booked more time in order to […]

I love having a garden (especially since my better half is so much better at looking after it than I would be on my own). It’s great saying to yourself “I need some lettuce for this sandwich” or “This pizza needs some thyme” and then walking out in the backyard and picking some. Now, this […]

(photo via Opinion250) Interesting weather this weekend. Officially it was about 20-25 degrees, but with a strong wind coming and going and the hot July sun, it felt like it was fluctuating a lot more. On Saturday there was a giant river float in town with hundreds of people jumping on inflatable things and headed […]

My sister recently completed her undergrad, and we marked the occasion with dinner and cake. Here’s the mandatory photoshoot– I went for a behind-the-scenes look. More on Flickr

I keep a notebook with me most of the time to jot down ideas and notes. Here’s some I took yesterday during a storyboard meeting: This isn’t as bad as it looks.

Our gardens are coming in nicely, and our yard is decorated well with lettuce leaves, squash vines, and corn stalks. But what it lacks is colour, so this weekend we took advantage of the “you really should have started gardening by now” sales and added flowers to our crop. It’s really spruced things up, especially […]

I went to going-away shindig for a coworker earlier this week. That’s not altogether unusual. What is unusual is the number of people outside of my workplace who are aware of and care about the fact that this going-away is happening. You see, it was for none other than Daybreak North host Chris Walker who, […]
