XXXmas holiday plans

My XXXmas plans are shaping up. I’m flying back home to The Hidden Valley (where Deli-Cat lives!) on December 14th for an extended stay. My kitty and I need some quality time together by the fireplace.

A price to pay for everything

I’ve been away, and - at the last moment - opted not to take the laptop with me.  Hence, no bloggery since Friday.  But I’m back.  Obese Large and in charge!  Let the mediocrity resume!  Half-speed ahead! Of course, it might take a day or two to get things moving again.  I still haven’t unpacked. And I’m [...]

Oot and aboot; or, Whither must I wander?

I added a new page to 14 Giants. You can now find “Tour De Bloggery” listed at the top of the site, containing upcoming travel dates. Big plans are in the works for mid-2009, so keep your eyes peeled.

I’m back in Vancouver. It was just a short one-hour hop on the plane from The Hidden Valley, but I’m exhausted. Tomorrow is Canada Day, though, which is a holiday in these parts. Means I can sleep in.

The ol’ stomping grounds

I arrived this morning in “The Hidden Valley,” the tiny town where I grew up in the BC Interior (check the sidebar for a couple of videos from the Shiny Blue Coffin™). It’s nice to be away from Vancouver for a few days. Everything is in bloom. Deli-Cat is lazy and sleepy [...]

Mr. Messy

My desk is a mess. Riveting, I know. Try to control your bowels. Lots on the go right now. Work is busy. And of course, I’m keeping my eye open for a new apartment too, which can be time-consuming. And if that’s not enough, I’m waiting for the final exam schedule to be released so I [...]

Piggybackpacking

(photo: Christian David Holmes) One of the new blogroll links in the sidebar is for The Digital Backpacker, a travel journal run by Christian David Holmes. Who is this Christian David Holmes, you ask? In late 2007, I (Christian David Holmes) decided to quit my job, sell all of my stuff, get a backpack, fill it [...]
