Lack of Camera Equipment and Skill

Being Sick While Alone Sucks
I’m a big baby when I’m sick, and I like to be taken care of… I don’t even have anyone to sing me “soft kitty”. Today, I’m under the weather. I blame whomever was sick during Easter. So today, I stayed home and slept most of the day. I answered…

My Perfect Job
So someone recently asked me if my current job meets the needs and wants of my perfect job. Well, without divulging too many of the concessions made in order to have me stay at Charity Marketing Group, I’ll say: “mostly”. I will be able to get rid of my car…

Headphones at Work
Moving into the new office has basically meant that the only person with a real office is the CEO, and everyone else is in a shared space. I have some walls up that help reduce the noise, but there’s no door, and so I can hear everything happening outside of…

Minecraft Update

Firefly From Start to Finish
This past weekend, I also got to go to Barry’s again. It was nice to see him again. Hanging out with him feels like being home with family and I’m not afraid to admit that I was bummed when I had to leave. While there, I got to play another…

Dark Urban Cabaret
I was in Ottawa last weekend and attended the Dark Urban Cabaret, something I can only describe as not-traditional belly dancing. There was a steampunk belly dancer, and various goth ones as well. Overall, it was a great event, and I really enjoyed it. There wasn’t one performance where they…
