— from Allan & Cheryl
Earlier today, when I arrived at work:
I was greeted by chocolate! What a great way to start the day! And come to think of it, I never did find out who put it there…
In the elevator at work, I spotted a very creative homemade bumble bee outfit on an older [...]

Scary, no? OK, here’s not-so-scary Ittybit, in a slideshow.

The Cameraphone Loves Graffiti

Between work and my counselling appointment.
There are things about my Nokia 6682 that drive me bananas*, but it does a decent colour capture, even with fading light.
On the last usage survey given by the marketing company who provided this phone to me for testing, I said the top three things I didn’t like were: [...]

These photos serve to prove how widespread perms were in the ’80s. A global follicle scourge, if you ask me.
By the time this photo was taken — probably Spring ‘85 ‘84. David’s had grown out, but you can see it better in the earlier photo below.

From the journal writing assignment:

Journal 12/3 (1984)
I feel much better [...]

Last Rays of the Day

Nokia 6682
It’s been a blustery day here in Toronto. The windows were rattling since last night and I wouldn’t be surprised if trees were downed.
Between laundering, household choring, and the lightest of cooking, I watched the Taiwanese film Yi Yi, which I would highly recommend over A Prairie Home Companion, which I watched last [...]

The Flying Mystique

From David’s aviation library:
How the World Goes Away

Longwood Gardens

Since my flight in the DC-3 was postponed to next Saturday due to training, I’ve been catching up on my little computer-related side projects (processing photos, website fixes, etc.).
I’ve only posted one photo from Longwood Gardens and that was back in August, so I thought I’d go through some more film shots:

Next time I’m [...]

Writing Your Own Obituary

I think about death nearly every day.
It sounds morbid, but when you’ve dealt with it three times in seven months and twice with those closest to you, it moves you in ways you cannot comprehend or ignore or forget. I wouldn’t call it an obsession, more of a daily meditation to process an overdose [...]
