This Odd Year: A Third Through

So the first four months of my yearlong amorphous adventure have passed and I thought I'd explore what I did with myself, what I'd planned to do with myself, what I'm doing now and what I might do next. If you're unfamiliar with all this, I'll sum up: I quit my job at the end...

Making Mischief of One Kind and Another

Image via Wikipedia I had two favourite books when I was a young child. One became the seed of my desperate need to see absurdity in every day life (The Cat in the Hat Comes Back, by Dr. Seuss), and the other led me to befriend monsters and explore my imagination without bounds, knowing that...

There are tiny yellow birds in my neighbour's Japanese maple. Pretty. It's fifteen days since my last (the first, really) weekly roundup, but at least I didn't ditch the idea altogether.

March 2, 2008

We finally went to see Juno last night. I didn't know it was filmed in Vancouver. Imagine my delight in discovering it was filmed in my neighbourhood. It made me love the movie even more, that familiar, homey setting. Loved it.
