Cool Quotes: July 2012
http://rempelia.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 12 July 2012. Thank you, TTC. Thank you, Toronto Transit Commission. Thank you for increasing fares every year. I don't need that extra $100 anyway. Thank you for being reliably unreliable. It keeps life interesting, and I enjoy the challenge of coming up with new excuses for being late for work, because "There were problems with the TTC" is getting old. Thank you for cancelling express bus service when it snows. Apparently snow is uncommon in Canada, and you're not sure how to deal with it.

Thursday, 8 December 2011. So yesterday I met the Stephens for dinner downtown at Gusto. After having cycled more than 100 miles up and down mountains on Saturday, I was in the mood for some pasta. As always, we had wonderful conversation, great food (even though Stephen could likely do better himself! And a little show and tell. They had just purchased an antique fire hose nozzle at a shop nearby. What they plan to do with this thing, I do not know. Firefighters don't make a lot of money. They aren'...

Cool Quotes: Construction and Reconstruction.
http://rempelia.blogspot.com/2011/12/construction-and-reconstruction.html
Thursday, 8 December 2011. Just yesterday I received an email notice stating that some pins used in total knee replacement are being recalled by the company. Lucky for me, I have never used these pins during surgery. However, this and notices like this are a wake-up call to me and others regarding our routine use of man made materials in a human person. Fact is, there is no such thing as making someone "100%. " And what is One Hundred Percent anyway? An old medical joke comes to mind:. Truth is, we can d...

Life of Owen: The Long Walk
http://lifeofowen.blogspot.com/2011/12/long-walk.html
Sunday, 11 December 2011. I hereby announce my intention to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail in 2008. I've got the time, I've got the money, and it's something I have always wanted to do. Man, I've got so much to do. All of the camping equipment I own isn't wildly inappropriate for this type of endeavor. I have a 4 person tent, and an army surplus sleeping bag. Those two things together weigh more than what I want my entire load to weigh, not counting food and water. Can I get a book out of this? Rim and ...

Life of Owen: Bleah
http://lifeofowen.blogspot.com/2012/07/bleah.html
Thursday, 12 July 2012. Sunny Saturday morning, and where am I? At home, at my desk, working on an assignment (two more weeks! And doing laundry. I need something to motivate me.

Anni 2 Pink: Blogger Flu, or, the Virus That Would Not Die
http://anni2pink.blogspot.com/2012/08/blogger-flu-or-virus-that-would-not-die.html
Tuesday, 14 August 2012. Blogger Flu, or, the Virus That Would Not Die. So I'm sick again. Although, more accurately, I have probably been sick since my mysterious "Blogger Flu" after Thanksgiving. It's just been lingering - I can't shake it off. This morning I woke up at 4.50 AM. My throat so sore I was having trouble swallowing. I drifted in and out of consciousness until it was a good time to call in sick to work, then gave into sleep. It's kind of scary. What's the matter with me? Why am I so sick?

Anni 2 Pink: A view from the fridge
http://anni2pink.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-view-from-fridge.html
Wednesday, 15 August 2012. A view from the fridge. The ceiling is only that low in that part of the apartment, by the way - there's a duct running through there and it's all boxed in. And here is the fridge door. Yes, that's Phil there on the right-hand side, but that's an old picture of him, from before I knew him even. I need to update that. The cats belong to my sister Andrea - their names are Fimo and Raindrop. The drawings are from Alex - "FROMALEX", see? OK, now the piece de resistance, the fridge!

Anni 2 Pink: Aitkins and Tilesey
http://anni2pink.blogspot.com/2011/12/aitkins-and-tilesey.html
Tuesday, 13 December 2011. Anyway, Hannabella is now going on the Aitkins diet. This really fucks me off. 1) The Aitkins diet may make you lose weight (mainly water), but you also lose a lot of the good bits of your body and can really fuck yourself up. 2) We all know and regularly tell Han, if she cut down on the beer intake then she'd lose weight. You have to cut out beer on Aitkins, so she will lose weight - but she'll thank Aitkins and not us! Hurts her kidneys and liver due to excess alcohol intake.
