Offensive

The most offensive odours I have ever encountered:
1. When I attended some Chinese bazaar in Scarborough with Thea and her friend and her friend’s boyfriend. People were lining up to eat something that smelled like Satan’s fart. Between bouts of vomit I inadvertently offended Thea’s friend and Thea’s friend’s boyfriend, who apparently [...]

Relationships Cont’d

Alright.  One last comment about relationships.
I think the best relationship advice I ever got was when someone said that you should be better Christians together than apart.  And I think that’s what Paul was getting at when he said that it’s better for Christians to be single.  He was thinking about our effectiveness as Jesus [...]

Stupid

I feel stupid about that last entry… As if I know anything about why relationships work.

Relationships

While dropping Thea off tonight and watching her walk up to her front door, I had a flashback to when we first started dating.  I can’t recall if it was the first time or the second time we started dating.  Probably the first.
It was back when I would still actually walk her to the front [...]

Banal

I’m watching a fairly banal movie, Orange County, on the television. But it has this scene where the main character meets his idol, a famous author, who tells him that one of his stories is quite good. And it aroused my writing impulse, long thought dead.
I pretty much abandoned the whole writing thing [...]

Belated

Some pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas.

Once again, Thea looks great… I look not great.

The pictures were taken with a film camera, but Kodak included a photo CD of oh-so-high quality pictures.  So I thought I’d slap ‘em on my blog.

On Christmas day, Althea was unexpectedly possessed by a Christmas demon of some sort.  She [...]

You Can’t Escape Her Scream

 

Wild Chickens and Witless Cowboys

So my mother believes that we have a wild animal secretly residing on our property.  Fortunately, she believes that it’s a chicken.  That’s right, my mother claims that she saw a chicken scurrying into the bushes early one morning.  I would love to support my mother in her conviction, but I have yet to see [...]

Fun With The Digital Camera

I brought my dad’s ancient digital camera to Thea’s house on Friday and took some shots.  So I’m sharing them with… Dan.  The only person that reads this blog, methinks.

This is Thea’s engagement ring.  Isn’t it purdy?  Thea’s hand looks white.

Thea, Pippin, and Audrey.  Pippin loves to be cuddled.

Another picture of Thea.  She’s gonna want [...]

No Title

So after church yesterday a group of us (Thea, her friends, me) went to the Mississauga News Bridal Show at The Living Arts Centre.  I just followed them around carrying a plastic bag to store all the free magazines and brochures and samples.  I submitted my name for lots of free stuff… so keep your [...]
