It’s All About the Candy! And Bad Puns!
6 Comments Published by Gail October 31st, 2006 in Food + Drink, The Ms, cameraphone — 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.
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: [...]
David at 17: Leave No Hair Uncurled
7 Comments Published by Gail October 29th, 2006 in Ancient History, David, David at 17, film photographyThese photos serve to prove how widespread perms were in the ’80s. A global follicle scourge, if you ask me.

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 [...]
From David’s aviation library:

Hilton Hotel lobby
Pearson (Toronto) International Airport
Longwood Gardens
0 Comments Published by Gail October 28th, 2006 in Photography, USA, film photographySince 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 [...]
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 [...]
