The sky is falling!

20 February 2008 Memes

No, not really, but there are two really cool reasons to look up into the night sky tonight. Way back in the day, blog used to cater more to my inner geek. I wrote about why we should explore space, and ranted about the evolution versus creationism debate. I don’t remember when I last wrote [...]

As if the Captcha Oracle wasn’t enough fun…

28 January 2008 Memes

I really wish I had something better for you this Monday morning than a meme — but I don’t. But after all the weekend fun with the Captcha Oracle, this one seemed to at least fit in thematically. I wasn’t going to post it until I had my answers, but some of them were too [...]

The rockstar meme

24 January 2008 Memes

Maybe it’s the result of too many years reading Dave Barry, but my ear is always attuned to turns of phrase that might make a good name for a rock band. MamaTulip tipped me off to this meme, and then I saw it at Suz’s place too. I couldn’t resist! Directions: 1. Click on this [...]

Meme-a-palooza

18 January 2008 Memes

Filched from Toddled Dredge (but she out-geeked me!) I received 63 credits on The Sci Fi Sounds QuizHow much of a Sci-Fi geek are you? Take the Sci-Fi Movie Quiz lose weight *** Filched from Casey: You Are the Middle Finger A bit fragile and dependent on your friends, you’re not nearly as hostile as [...]

Delurk, and guess that birthdate!

11 January 2008 Memes

Sometimes things come together rather fortuitously on the blog. For example, although yesterday seems to have been Official Delurk Day, when we’ve done it in past years, it has been a week long event, so I don’t think I’m breaking any invioble rules by playing along today. (Thanks to Greeblemonkey for the graphic!) Since blog [...]

2007 – The Year in Review

28 December 2007 Memes

I did this meme last year, and thought it was a neat way to take a look back at the year. These are the first sentences of the first posts of each month in 2007: I’m fond of odd-numbered years – they seem to be lucky for me. Considering how socially awkward I feel when [...]

Where I’m coming from

27 November 2007 It IS all about me

An interesting meme on identity, pilfered from daysgoby. I’m not convinced I’ve done it justice. I am from paperback books, from Lays BBQ chips in a turquoise bowl, and from orange shag rugs. I am from primary-coloured paint chipping from cold metal playground bars, from a blue two-wheeler with a white banana seat and high-rise [...]

Seven random things about… Simon

23 November 2007 Memes

About a million years ago, Laura from Lunatic Fringe tagged me for the “Seven Random Facts About Me” meme. I’ve done a bunch of these over the years, and it’s getting tough to come up with more fresh stuff that you don’t already know about me, which is part of the reason I’ve sat on [...]

One thousand (!)

14 November 2007 Books

Did you know that the letter A does not appear in the English spelling of any number lower than “one thousand”? Oh, the trivial gifts the Interwebs give to me. One thousand. Like, a thousand words, or a Thousand Islands. Or, one thousand posts. Yes, my bloggy peeps, this is my one-thousandth post. One thousand [...]

All about Beloved

9 November 2007 Memes

This went ’round the blogosphere about a month ago and I filed it away for just such a brainless Friday during NaBloPoMo as this, but I first saw it at Slouching Mom’s place so she gets the linky love. 1. Who is your man? Beloved. (When I started blogging, everyone had a pseudonym. Tristan’s middle [...]
