...and sometimes why: February 2010

http://andsometimeswhy75.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

But mostly who, what, where, when, and cats). Sunday, February 28, 2010. For some strange reason [*cough - Olympics - cough*], I'm feeling ridiculously patriotic. Sunday, February 14, 2010. They didn't just say it, they made it be. Last night I hunkered down with a blanket and a bowl of popcorn and watched the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. I certainly hadn't intended to. The Olympics hold little interest for me, but I was in Edmonton staying with a friend and she wanted to watch them. The days and ...

...and sometimes why: January 2009

http://andsometimeswhy75.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

But mostly who, what, where, when, and cats). Monday, January 26, 2009. The Brighton Port Authority - Toe Jam. Sunday, January 11, 2009. A world economy that completely depends on continuous growth in a finite world can't. Be good. Can it? I have none of these so-called core muscles. The only things that keep me upright are my spine and sheer force of will. Quit telling me to strengthen my core! I always forget Suriname. When did I let "need" creep in and substitute "want" in my vocabulary? I've been dre...

...and sometimes why: June 2009

http://andsometimeswhy75.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

But mostly who, what, where, when, and cats). Friday, June 5, 2009. Don't be such a boob. I've been trying to write about this for a while now but it's difficult. It's difficult because I'd rather write a good news story where the worry turns out to be nothing and in retrospect, we can all learn blah blah blah. It's difficult because it still doesn't seem real. It's difficult because facts like "Only 4 of 10. After a bit of time spent ignoring the goddamned lump, I drunkenly and off-handedly confessed it...

...and sometimes why: March 2009

http://andsometimeswhy75.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

But mostly who, what, where, when, and cats). Sunday, March 8, 2009. Are you kidding me? A windchill of -30? That's it. I quit. I have never been more ready for spring. Usually, I try not to complain about the weather. What do I expect? I live in Saskatchewan where it's stupidly cold in the winter, freakishly hot in the summer, and spring and autumn are lovely and last 2 weeks each. I'm SO ready for one of the coldest winters in 30 years. And run free in the muddy, flooded streets! Thursday, March 5, 2009.

...and sometimes why: October 2009

http://andsometimeswhy75.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

But mostly who, what, where, when, and cats). Tuesday, October 13, 2009. When I was in university I wrote a paper comparing ideas from T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land". And WB. Yeats' "The Second Coming". I has studied and enjoyed both poems in my Literature of the 20th Century class and wanted to share my excitement with the world.or at least with the professor. I'm not entirely sure what I wrote about, but the paper had something to do with Yeat's lines. The best lack all conviction, while the worst.

...and sometimes why: There's no money in journalism

http://andsometimeswhy75.blogspot.com/2010/01/theres-no-money-in-journalism.html

But mostly who, what, where, when, and cats). Tuesday, January 26, 2010. There's no money in journalism. Clark Kent brings the bus to a stop and opens the door. A man dressed in rags steps up, his pungent aroma rushing in ahead of him. I, uh, lost my wallet," the man says, narrowing his eyes as if daring Clark to contradict him. Sorry, sir," replies Clark. "I can't let you ride for free.". But I got no money! C'mon, man. It's minus thirty out there! Is it ironic that Superman is superfluous? Yes, that's ...

...and sometimes why: My year

http://andsometimeswhy75.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-year.html

But mostly who, what, where, when, and cats). Saturday, January 2, 2010. Forget 2009 being the Year of the Ox - for me it was the year of cancer. My first appointment with my first doctor was in April and the very last day of the year was my 12th radiation treatment. But it was not all doom and gloom! I went on a few fun trips, saw some great shows, discovered I look alright with no hair, and reaffirmed that I have the best friends and family I could ever hope for. Thanks to Madame Meow. Hello, babies&#4...

...and sometimes why: August 2009

http://andsometimeswhy75.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

But mostly who, what, where, when, and cats). Monday, August 24, 2009. Frankly, I'm thunderstruck. Even though it is several kilometers away, I can hear the AC/DC concert from my apartment. I can hear the crowd roaring and the drums banging and good ol' Angus wailing on lead guitar. (Hark, is that "TNT" I hear? Yes, yes it is). I can also hear the dog in the apartment below me barking and barking. I don't think he's a metal fan. For a snippet. They do 80s songs in a Django Reinhardt. The opening band fin...

...and sometimes why: November 2009

http://andsometimeswhy75.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

But mostly who, what, where, when, and cats). Monday, November 30, 2009. My fuzzy moment of the day. This made me smile. (And made me a bit teary, if we're being honest.). Thursday, November 19, 2009. I can't believe I said that my mom has a mustache. In front of a bunch of strangers. Strangers that included MLAs. Oy Some days I shouldn't be allowed out of my apartment. He explained this meant that some men were growing mustaches for the month to raise money for prostate cancer. Monday, November 9, 2009.

...and sometimes why: Still lives

http://andsometimeswhy75.blogspot.com/2010/02/still-lives.html

But mostly who, what, where, when, and cats). Monday, February 8, 2010. The days and nights are still. It's cold outside. Really damn cold. People do not go outside if they can help it. Cats sleep pressed up against the radiator. Orange extension cords snake from car to electrical outlet. What do I do? I grab my camera, a white table cloth, and a bunch of things from around my apartment. Still Life with Elephant. Still Life on Mars. February 8, 2010 at 9:20 PM. February 19, 2010 at 3:48 PM. Citizen of th...
