Here comes summer

Monday, April 30th, 2007

A fairly productive day for me as I went to the hygienist for a cleaning (must return next week for dental checkup though). I spent a lot of time reading The Omnivore’s Dilemma; it’s good, and I’m almost done. What really made my day was that I actually ran today in the late afternoon. I [...]

Appetizer - How fast can you type?
I haven’t measured it in a long time, but I do hit at 100 wpm when I need to and a little over. I think I am always doing 80 wpm at least.
Soup - What is your favorite online game?
I don’t like online game. I get pretty tired [...]

Booking Through Thursday - Seasonal Reading

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Does what you read vary by the season? For instance, Do you read different kinds of books in the summer than the winter? I read more in the summer because I’m not in school. As a result, a lot of the books I read in the summer are more longer such as classics or more [...]

Booking Through Thursday

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Okay, there must be something you read that’s a guilty pleasure . . . a Harlequin romance stashed under the mattress. A cheesy sci-fi book tucked in the back of the freezer. A celebrity biography, a phoned-in Western . . . something that you’d really rather not be spotted reading. Even just a novel if [...]

No ice cream for me

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

It is Ben and Jerry’s free cone day. I planned to go out for it, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I am not keen on going out. I’m going to read more of The Omnivore’s Dilemma and my new disturbing fascination with Doctor Who fanfiction. I installed the new del.icio.us Firefox extension, and it [...]

Brødre (Brothers)

Michael [...]

Yellow and Purple. Those were my favourite colours as a kid until I started liking blue.
Soup- On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being highest), how likely would you be to change jobs if it required you to move?
I don’t have [...]

Booking Through Thursday and P&P spoof trailer

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

Have you ever missed an important appointment because you have become so engrossed in a book you forgot the time or were up so late reading that you didn’t wake up in time? Been late to work because you couldn’t resist the temptation and left the house too late?
I don’t think I’ve missed an appointment, [...]

100/365 Days

Monday, April 9th, 2007

365 Days: A self-portrait a day for a year.
Reached 100 days worth of portraits. It would have been early if I hadn’t missed those weeks in January. This project has not been easy for me largely because I don’t like pictures of myself and inspiration doesn’t work like that. It comes and goes, but that’s [...]
