Saturday Snap – Smile Pretty!

I haven’t managed to get a good, straight-on photo of it yet but here’s a blurry, half side-view of Sasha’s new smiley face which is this weird scrunchy, open-mouthed, toothy thing that’s a mixture of cute, ugly (in the nicest way!) and scary all at once! 😉

Friday Fun Link – “Linda! Linda! You’re Not Listening to Me!”

God, I find this funny…

Sasha vs. Pace At The (Almost) One Year Mark

Pace didn’t leave our sight for the first year of his life. Shea found me in the garage a day after we brought Sasha home.  “Uhm, where did you leave the baby?”  (She was in her crib sleeping.) Pace only ate healthy, nutritious, homemade food. When Sasha finds crumbs or dropped Cheerios on the ground, […]

Saturday Night Live Cast Members Through the Years

Wikipedia summary of cast members with timeline Another list of casts by year on a fan site Cast photos by year (via Reddit) Probably like a lot of people, I feel most strongly about the casts I watched when I was in my formative years circa 1989-1991 or so – Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Phil Hartman, […]

Friday Fun Link – Who Owns The Copyright to the World’s Most Retweeted Photo?

Ellen Degeneres arranged a “spontaneous” selfie with some heavy hitters at the recent Oscar telecast.  After tweeting it, it quickly crashed Twitter, became the most re-tweeted photo of all-time eclipsing Obama’s “Four More Years” tweet many times over, and becoming ripe for parody. But it also quickly led to a question about who owned the copyright to […]

Happy 11th Anniversary, Shea!

I posted this picture on our third anniversary back in 2006 but see that the link to the graphic’s ended up broken during one of my blog moves. So here’s the image once again – my favourite wedding picture (well, not counting the more spontaneous one of Shea running out of the water just as a […]

Saturday Snap – Rock and Roll!

I sometimes think the only reason we have kids is to teach them cute tricks. Sasha has a few – when you say “Are you cute?”, she’ll tilt her head at 90 degrees (usually), if you ask how big she is, she’ll throw both arms up over her head (usually), she can wave when prompted […]

Reddit’s 100th Gift Exchange

Reddit has facilitated a number of gift exchanges over the years.  What originally began as a user-submitted idea for a Secret Santa exchange… …now encompasses all kinds of themed-exchanges including snacks, comics, mugs and of course, Arbitrary Day. I’ve participated in a couple of Christmas ones and always enjoyed the process (although this year I […]

Music Monday – “The UK has the monarchy/The US has the money/But I know that you wanna be Canadian”

I bookmarked this song a long time ago but don’t think I ever posted it. Seems appropriate in light of Canada’s recent success in the Winter Olympics. “Canadian Please”.  (If memory serves, this was made by students at UWO where I did my MLIS.)
