Camping at Rattlesnake

Last weekend, Rita and I took a trip to Rattlesnake Point in Milton, Ontario. I hadn’t been there for about 12 years and we decided that it would be a good place to stay for our first summer camp. Actually, I can’t believe that this was the first time Rita and I have ever went [...]

Review: SiCKO

Last night I watched Michael Moore’s new documentary SiCKO. Let me tell you, it was fantastic! Moore’s witty humour and eye-opening style is at its finest in this movie. As “the only country in the Western World without free universal health care,” the US is a health disaster, leaving its citizens to foot the bill [...]

HowTo: Make A Cable Organizer

From cell phones and MP3 players to digital cameras and GPS devices, many of us have quite the buildup of gadgets laying around. Along with these gadgets come power and usb cords which can quickly clutter and tangle on our desks. To save myself the headache of searching for the right cord, untangling it, and [...]

Natural Born Painters

On Wednesday night, Rita and I painted her room. It was the first time either of us has really painted on our own and we did fairly well in my opinion. The room went from light green to an orange. At a relatively inexpensive $30Cdn, I’ve been inspired to do the same to my room. [...]

One of these simple means of reducing emissions, saving energy, and putting some money in your pocket is using a [...]

Dinner, Spinners, and a Movie

When Rita and I do dates, we like to put a little “spin” on the typical Dinner and a Movie thing. This is why we went for a nice long rollerblading trip at Springbank park after she made a delicious chicken dinner. We spun our wheels for a couple hours, feeding the geese, and enjoying [...]

Experiencing the Slab

For the past week or so Rita has been talking about this new ice cream place she heard about called “Marble Slab Creamery.” Today we decided to give it a try–with a name like that, who wouldn’t want to try it out?
Anyway, the concept of this place is that you pick an ice cream flavour, [...]

More Pay, Less Play

Posts here have plummetted over the past week. Why? Because on Monday I started my summer job and I have been ridiculously busy trying adjust to reduced personal time. On the upside, I’m getting paid more than I was before… which was zip (with the exception of some paid posts).
I’m working at a sign making [...]
