Love on the Rocks

Posted in Canada, William on Jan 8th, 2012

Now, I think I’ve made my feelings on this clear, I thought I did. However, Wm and I had the following conversation yesterday. Wm: Hey, they’ve announced the locations for the first 24 Target stores coming to Canada. Me: Really? Are any of them near us? Wm: I don’t know, I didn’t  look. Me: ……… [...]

In Canadaaaaaa – they never will be mean.

Posted in Canada, Uncategorized on Apr 3rd, 2011

This morning, Wil’s been looking to youtube to help define, to his facebook friends, what it means to be Canadian. For some reason. He finally knocked the stupid Friday song out of my head. Thanks, honey. I think. You have to watch the background images. I love the pancakes. Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post [...]

Can This Marriage Be Saved?

Posted in Canada, William on Mar 9th, 2011

About a month ago, I was down south, in Seattle, because I had some appointments. I mentioned something to Wil about running an errand at Target. The following conversation ensued: Wm: Hey, did you hear, Zellers bought Target. Me: No they didn’t. Wm: Yes, they did. Me: No, if anything, Target bought Zellars. They were [...]

Grabbing some Face Time

Posted in Apple, Canada on Jan 4th, 2011

For Christmas, I got to upgrade my iPhone 3G to an iPhone 4. If you are from Canada, you probably know that took some effort on my part. The iPhone 4 came out in Canada in what… July? It STILL takes a great deal of patience to get one, if you are trying to upgrade [...]

2010 Winter Olympic Coverage

Posted in Canada on Feb 28th, 2010

I’m not all that into it. That’s my coverage. I watched a little last week. I saw Shawn White, Lindsay Vonn and the guy who won the gold in Men’s Figure Skating. I can’t remember his name. I remember Johnny Weir, tho. I like that kid, he’s entertaining. I talked some smack about the US [...]

We are quicksilver, a fleeting shadow, a distant sound… our home has no boundaries beyond which we cannot pass. We live in music, in a flash of color… we live on the wind and in the sparkle of a star!

Wow. The blog has been silent awhile, hasn’t it. I’m leaving for Wa tomorrow. Not as expected. I’m going to be traveling down without Wil. There has been a death in my family, and it’s important that I go and be with the people who need me right now. Death in the family is one [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

Posted in Canada on Oct 12th, 2009

To my Canadian friends and family.  Thanksgiving feels different here. I mean, yes, it’s earlier, which feels off. It seems that most of the people I know have their Thanksgiving dinner at any point this weekend. Now, this is just my observation, and may not be correct, but I feel like it may not be [...]

A truly thankful Thanksgiving

Posted in Canada, Immigration, William on Oct 1st, 2009

I just got a call from a nice lady in the immigration offices in Alberta. We’ll call her Jane. Because for some reason, I don’t want to use her real name. She had some questions that Wil and I need to clear up for her, by writing a short paragraph of explaination and faxing it [...]

I know how to spell Saskatchewan now.

Posted in Canada on Sep 17th, 2009

We returned from our trip on Monday evening. Sunday we drove from Moose Jaw to Calgary, and then home the next day. I returned suffering from anti-depressant withdrawal, which was a bit like being stoned. Not entirely unpleasant, but not conducive to safe driving either. Wil returned with a sickness which we refer to as [...]

Greetings from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

Posted in Canada on Sep 9th, 2009

Our trip has been extended and taken a little detour. It’s been a long day and I am very tired. But for the next four nights I am staying in a double wide trailer that is nicer and larger than my apartment. Which begs the question… Why don’t I live in a double wide trailer? [...]
