► My cat Stormy's feeding routine is as follows: a bit of dry food around 7:00am, 1 can of wet food around 4:00pm, and then another bit of dry food in the evening around 10:00pm. Dean was the one who fed Stormy the canned meal yesterday and the day before. Both times he barely touched it. I wasn't sure what to expect when I fed him today, ( Read more... )

► As I type this it's 26 degrees Celsius (roughly 80 degrees Fahrenheit), and a bit muggy. They're calling for thunderstorms but so far the day has been sunny, albeit partially cloudy. It's not an overly hot day, but it's the kind of day that's very warm and feels like being encased in a big, warm, fluffy blanket and it's making me want to sleep ( Read more... )

► For those wondering I'm still around. It's funny how quickly I got sidetracked from maintaining my LiveJournal again, especially after ignoring it for three months earlier this year. But that's just the way it goes as you delay finishing a post, then delay another, and the next thing you know two weeks have passed and you have 3 unfinished and ( Read more... )

► Ah, DHL Global, you never change. At 8:50am this morning I went to check our front door. When I opened it 2 packages fell into the room on my feet. It's my order from Poster Revolution. My door sized Rocketeer poster was in a cardboard tube, and my 3 tin signs were in an over-sized paded envelop. That's 1 order arrived out of the 4 I placed ( Read more... )

► Talk about anticlimactic. Weeks of obsessive worry, and days of barely sleeping and I found out that my test results from October show I have a Vitamin D deficiency. Guess it's a good thing I've been taking daily supplements these past 2 months ( Read more... )

► I think it would be nice if my left eye would stop twitching and pulsing. It's a bit creepy feeling. I wonder what brings that on.

► Tomorrow I have to go with my father to my grandmother's house to take the curtains down, wash them, and place them back. Normally this would be fine, but I ate chips earlier today and my stomach is going a ( Read more... )

► Just for fun, yesterday I took a webcam snapshot of myself and photoshopped it (poorly) into a screen capture from the 1925 silent film version of the Phantom of the Opera (courtesy of Google). It's now my avatar on a couple of different social network sites. It's not much, but it amuses me and seemed appropriate for Halloween. I need a shave ( Read more... )

► Had a bit of a surprise yesterday when I checked my bank account online. I have a small GIC investment fund ($1000 with $70 or so in interest) which reached it's 3rd yearly maturity date on Monday and deposited the full total into my checking account. Back in the spring I had been looking at the fund online and inadvertently clicked something ( Read more... )

► Ah, delightful. The aromatic, peppery scent of skunk seems to be gently wafting up through my window. Smell's tickling my sinuses and giving me a nice, lengthy, sneezing fit. I hope my eyeballs don't pop out ( Read more... )
