  • Broken Area - Episode 191 - Snow Shaming
    It is snowy again.  It melted during the week, but it came back.  However, it is melting now.  It's pretty gross out, except the temperature is ok.  
    Snow sometimes flies off of cars, you should take pictures of people like that.
    Jon in probably going to be on his school's float for today's Santa Claus parade.  Should be fun for him, perhaps there'll be a Jonathan Files about it.
    I bought the liquor etc for this year's egg nog!  We definitely needed a box.
    Isabelle is a will imposer.  I went to high school with a William Imposer, good guy.

  • Broken Area - Episode 190 - Trophy Nuts
    So, it snowed a great deal the other day and there is still quite a bit left on the ground.
    It is Remembrance Day today.  Indeed, at 11 am in the grocery store there was a moment of silence.  It was quite moving.
    Isabelle's friend Zenith is getting an award, yay her!
    THE LCBO IS CLOSED FOR REMEMBRANCE DAY.  This is not the freedom those brave young men fought for.
    We have colds.
    Maddie is visiting, so that is always nice.

    Well, it snowed overnight.  Not a lot as you can see in the picture, but enough that it is annoying.
    You get three stops today, as I had to get my prescriptions filled again.  Exciting, indeed riveting.  Eye update, about 99 percent I think, but I can still feel my eye in its socket.  I don't think that is how it is supposed to work.
    When are people old now?  What age?  In the past I think younger people looked older, like say people in their twenties looked fortyish.  
    Isabelle needed to get old wallpaper and a hat for the boy.  Alas, no hat.
    I asked Isabelle if she like making art more than it being finished.  I think she likes making it more than finishing it.

  • Broken Area - Episode 188 - My Clamps Are Limited
    So we had an eventful week.
    We went down to London to watch Maddie get her MSc.  Stayed with my Mom which was pretty great, and also ordered Chinese food, which I have a thing for.
    The convocation itself was truly excellent.  UWO know how to do this.  Frankly, it is way better than ours at AU  (which is pretty good, but Western's is just better).  The band played them on to the Olympic anthem, which was great.  Oh and they played the Raiders of the Lost Ark theme when they were leaving, then, Sweet Georgia Brown.
    Halloween is coming, which means I have to hide candy from Isabelle and Jon....
    Isabelle bought some wood for her work (you can see the pic above) and she explained more about her final project.

  • Broken Area - Episode 187 - You're Not Being Judgemental, I Am.
    Back to the normal Saturday shopping.
    Eye update, no change.
    We've got a big week coming up, it's Maddie's MSc convocation, so a mid week trip to London is in order.
    Isabelle has been having lots of visits with artists.  They come by her studio space and offer their thoughts on her work.  Some have a sort of ideological approach.  I find that crazy.  Of course, what the hell do I know.
    It is way too warm for this time of year.
    Hey, Yooper, you can hear me get the Pernod today!
