I had a wonderful childhood, full of many great adventures and privileges. Yet in one way I found I was deprived: I missed out on most of the world of 80s and 90s TV programming. We didn’t have cable, and my parents weren’t down with a lot of TV watching (this was before my mom [...]

paper pi earrings for March 14th
Today is Pi Day. It’s Pi Day because of today’s date. Just think about it for a sec. I admit, I’m about as skilled at math as beavers are at tree-planting, but I like a good excuse for some thematic crafting, and I’m an amused fan of all the specially themed days that pop up [...]

DIY glasses-and-moustache disguise
It occurs to me that if I’d taken all the time I’ve spent on small, bits-and-pieces Halloween-y costume pieces this year and put it together, I could have actually had time for making a proper, full on costume.

- Moral of the story is, avoid venues in Central Saanich. WISH WE'D KNOWN THIS IN FEBRUARY. Gah.
- Sounds like they're kind of hard-assed Puritan dicks & don't have a lot better to do, since not much happens in Central Saanich. >_<
- Learning more about our wedding liquor issues. Seems the problem is w/ Central Saanich police, who have different rules from everyone else.
