This neighbourhood used to be pretty good. Not high-end, but not “ghetto”, either. The neighbours were mostly older, and other than occasionally seeing them out doing yard work, you’d never even know they were there. That’s all changed now, though; of the “originals” who were here when we came almost seven years ago, only the […]

The café was called C’est Si Bon and was located at 1717 Barrington, but I think it closed sometime after 2004. That does not surprise me; part of the reason we liked it was because it wasn’t crowded.

This chick is beginning to creep me out a little. She went through my photos a few weeks ago and faved (it’s a word) a bunch. Since she had left no comments, I sent a little note to say, “Thanks for your interest!” and I thought that would be it, but nope. She did it […]

Awwww! He’s such a sweet man. Absolutely a flirt, but not in the usual manner; he’s very polite and really almost “formal”. It’s more like something out of the 19th century than the 21st. It’s very flattering, and quite appealing, and doesn’t make me roll my eyes and think, “Yeah, right. What part of ‘happily […]

Many of the butterflies are gone, but some still remain. It’s been so fucking dry here for so long, though, that very few of the late-season flowers bloomed, and it’s pretty slim pickings out there for anything that likes nectar or pollen.

I LOL’d, and then I LOL’d some more.

I recently read that Courtney Love is planning on designing and selling a “signature scent”. Ah, yes–can’t wait for that one… “Introducing Stank Ho, the hot new scent from Courtney Love. A captivating blend of cheap bourbon, stale cigarette smoke and unwashed crotch, with delicate undertones of armpit funk and vomit. Coming for the holiday […]

You are presented with a problem. You have bought water conditioner for your aquarium, and the instructions say you should use one capful for each 5g of water. The containers you use to age your water hold 12 pints each. What do you do? Apart from the fact that these are US measures, this could […]

Good for ol’ CK in the itty-bitty town of Cambridge, Nova Scotia! 🙂 Two students at Central Kings Rural High School fought back against bullying recently, unleashing a sea of pink after a new student was harassed and threatened when he showed up wearing a pink shirt. The Grade 9 student arrived for the first […]

If you are going to shoot butterflies close up, buy a fucking macro lens or don’t bother. They look like shit, period. Nobody but your family is interested in your niece’s wedding. The dress was nice enough, makeup okay, but a little too much black eyeliner for a “blonde”, and she should’ve touched up those […]
