The beaver is a proud and noble animal
Notes from a bemused canuck
As we increased our daily intake of Agile Kool-Aid in recent months, we couldn’t help but notice ourselves walking, talking, and working like members of the Church of SCRUMtology. So we decided to create a little series to inspire our fellow comrades to keep sprinting… Visage
Had the two ginger blobs in bed this morning. Hard life. Look at Reenie… Such despondency.
For the past year or so, I’ve been “arguing” with my folks about a stamp album that I used to have, which they have absolutely no recollection of ever seeing. I’ve been trying to find it on Google and eBay, and it was coming up to the point where I was convincing myself that I had to be wrong, and the rest of the world was right, and maybe somehow I’d just imagined the whole thing. It didn’t seem possible. Well, boo-yah, suck it bitches!!!
My Google-fu has come back, and I managed to find it. Behold, the 1986 Canada Stamp (Scott #1107i) – Henry Hudson / Discovery of the Hudson Bay 34¢, pink print flaw edition.

So, hopefully now this will jog my parents’ memory and they’ll remember where they “filed” it :)

Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody

Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love
Right. According to Dr. Who, I’m fucked.
What have I done so far on my birthday? I woke up late, which is always good. Then I went hog crazy and did a couple of loads of laundry, folded said laundry, vacuumed and mopped the floors, and watered the plants.
I am now chilling on the sofa with a glass of coke, a cat and a book. I could do worse. Missing my family though.

According to the Internet Archive, this is what my website (and I) looked like back in 2004. That was the year I met crazy English girl.
Though to be fair, the picture was taken at least 2 years prior, when I was living near UofM and not Snowdon – probably around the time of crazy German girl.
