Hanging art…

I spent some of my weekend finishing up some framing of artwork that I have (mine and other artists), and picking out wall space where to put them (soon to come—some photos). Unfortunately, I was supposed to study, but had so many chores to take care of, that I am going to have to spend the day tomorrow catching up on my Japanese grammar and vocabulary.

Fresh…

Today, I decided to delete my WordPress install and start with a fresh new installation and database. I had posts dating back quite a bit, and some of my plugins were a bit buggy from updating WordPress over the years. I am still unsure if I am going to import all of my old posts.

GNOD

Very interesting search engine… (e.g., especially when looking to discover new music similar to your tastes).

The Global Network of Dreams

Also something amusing that I found by accident in the middle of my noctunal search for new music.

Promising gifts to siblings can be hazardous to your health…

My brother is a funny little lad… and playing with a new Web cam at that. For the 2002–2003 Holiday season, he wanted one of those Micro Racers—supposedly the smallest radio controlled cars in the world… but I never got around to getting it because all those sites looked like dodgy spam warehouses…

And…

So, I didn’t get to leave as planned yesterday… Many flights were cancelled because of poor visibility due to the snow, mine included.

World AIDS Day

Every year since 1990, I usually chose to forget about AIDS, or for that matter, World AIDS Day… yet I am keenly aware all the time, but it is usually shoved to the deepest recesses of my mind.

Stranger things happen

I was at work yesterday grabbing a coffee when an man asks me for a smoke and politely asks if he can sit at my table. Friendly conversation ensues for a bit when all of a sudden he asks if I am British. I was quiet for what seemed like eternity and just chuckled. I was pretty much suprised. Now this was a new one to add to my list of nationalities. People often asked me in casual conversation, “are you (insert country/nationality here)?” I guess my intonation or accent in English may sound probably off to the common ear… but unfortunately, I cannot say much about that because I don’t get a chance to hear my own voice… but I imagine it must sound interesting. ;)

A good laugh

LOL! This is too much to not be able to share. It falls in with what most of our troubles in the world are caused by anyway… Ooh, and I also saw a odd commando version of Jesus and clan with Satan. ;)
