What Do Raccoons And PHP Have In Common?
0 Comments Published by Gail April 24th, 2008 in Critters + Creatures, gailatlarge.comNothing, except this post. Unless raccoons in the new millennia have tired of raiding rubbish bins and moved on to coding websites.
PHP: The wonkiness regarding password-protected posts has nothing to do with your machine and everything to do with Apache files and my website needing a full migration from PHP4 to PHP5. Apparently this started [...]
I’m Filipino, But I Won’t Eat That
6 Comments Published by Gail April 23rd, 2008 in Food + Drink, Videoclips* Vegetarians, look away. *
Actually, if you’re a meat-eater, this may very well turn you into a vegetarian.
It’s my younger brother’s birthday today, and I joked about him eating balut, which is common street vendor food in Asia, particularly in the Philippines. I post a lot of food pictures here, but you will NEVER catch [...]

Taxi To The Dark Side
3 Comments Published by Gail April 23rd, 2008 in Culture + Society, Reel + ScreenWhen I finished work shortly after 8pm on Tuesday, I felt the urge to purge my brain for a while — or at least fill it with something else. The quickest way for me to do that is to see a film so I checked out what was playing at my local nonprofit movie house, [...]
Speaking of Odd Symbols
2 Comments Published by Gail April 22nd, 2008 in Culture + Society, cameraphoneI present to you Exhibit B, taken with my crappy cameraphone in the parking lot of Sobey’s (grocery store) — much to the puzzlement of other shoppers.
A stork? Come on. Not only am I sceptical that this is a truly universal symbol of maternity (the stork reference is firmly rooted in Western popular culture; Toronto [...]
I picked up my roll of film tonight of the photos I shot with the Pentax K-1000 on Saturday. They turned out so-so, which means I should either switch the type of film I use, the lab, or both. I’m super-cheap so I buy cheap stock and get $2.99 processing (straight to CD, no prints) [...]
Alley Walk: Part II
3 Comments Published by Gail April 21st, 2008 in House of Fielding, Out + About, Photography, Urban Life(In case you can’t tell, I’m the one losing a battle with gravity.)
What a difference seven weeks make! It’s taken us that long to finish the Alley Walk that was mapped out by Spacing.ca.

Postponing it for nearly two months had more to do with people’s schedules than the weather, but the warmer temperatures (at least [...]
Marin was recently in Paris and took this photo of a group of symbols meant to represent various disabilities, ostensibly for the purpose of giving some sort of discount to those people. The black/white face symbol at the far right is puzzling, though, and a bunch of us were trying to come up with theories [...]
Traffic was pretty slow along the QEW heading back to Toronto after my inaugural trip yesterday to the Royal Botanical Gardens, and the smog alert was in full force (index of 6). Something tells me this summer’s going to be as brutal as the past winter…
I made it to Sushi on Bloor and — incredibly [...]
I was going to visit both the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum and the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton on Saturday, but once I saw the traffic along the QEW I gave the museum a miss and tried to leave enough time to return to Toronto for Marin’s birthday in the late afternoon/early evening.
Plus I left [...]
