Hi. Been eleven months. Any of you still out there? I occasionally post on Twitter now, and maybe post a little more often on Facebook, but mostly I just. I just what? I work. I cycle. I sleep. I surf. I make stupid jokes at my lovely wife, the doula/writer/teacher/mom, and watch my kids get…

NaBloPoMovember: Day 22
Crap. Â Blew right through yesterday. Â Forgot all about it until I was drop-dead exhausted. It’s cold here in Vancouver, which is rare. We’re not used to it. Â Okay, *I* am not used to it. Â I’m getting over a cold-ish-eque thing I had starting Thursday afternoon. Â I’m *mostly* over it, I think. Â Never really turned into…
NaBloPoMovember: Day 13
Oh hi. Just got in the door from an afternoon at Arwen’s mom’s place, and we’re sitting here in utter silence. Â The kids are asleep, the cat is ignoring us, and the late night planes haven’t started coming in yet (their takeoffs and landings are actually pretty spectacular in the summer, when they really get…
End of NaBloPoMo 2009: Hooray, I Blew It!
So, National Blog Posting Month wasn’t exactly a action-packed thrillride adventure, but it’s good to at least feel guilty about not writing every day, so I have some reason to take note of the world around me, and at least think “Hey, I should probably write about that tonight, so I have something for Nablopomo.” …
Two(ish) things.
HelLO, and welcome to another episode of “I’ve Reflanged the Barkolounger” with your host, Rupture Q. Throngboggle PhD, PTSD, NPC. Tonight to change thing up not at all, I’m going to tell you about some surfing I did. One of those things I do all the time is try to figure out how to get…
Home, Home I’m Deranged.
Low-key day. Made breakfast for the kids, which included a smoothie. We opened up the fridge, crammed banana, blueberries, an orange, some baby carrots, two icecubes, and some milk* into the cup thing for our brand new immersion blender we picked up at the Supastow yesternight. Time to fire that baby up, and see what…
My Brain Hurts
I got nothing for ya today folks, so I’ll just say a couple really quick things: My half brother in law is back in hospital – think happy thoughts. My dad’s in Mexico so I ended up doing a long distance support call Last month, I did the same thing (remote connect) for my mom,…
I dunno, where do YOU find them?
This evening I was bombing around Hintertubes looking for clues about a new album by Burial, and was reminded of how I found this weird little bubble of sound in the first place. Rather, I was reminded how I did NOT find this artist. I didn’t find them on the radio, or a magazine, or…
Got nothing for you tonight.
I’m tired today, even though I slept through most of Spy Kids 2 this afternoon. Spent two hours doing groceries, watched a movie, and then we went to Ikea for wandering (whoops, $100) and dinner before coming back, putting the kids to bed, and hanging with the beautiful and talented MoxieSnacks. Today blew by. Pweroom. …
Peddling my butt around town. Month One.
So, we moved. We told you that, right? We didn’t? Well, we moved. 4 bedrooms instead of two (one for each kid). Front and back yards. Washer & dryer (drier?). Dishwasher (which isn’t hooked up – don’t ask). Something called “Laths and Plaster” or something like it, which means that hammering is a very dangerous…
