Now we’re banning Dictionaries in School?

I just came across this article from The Guardian, that talks about how certain schools in the Southern California area in the United States are banning dictionaries  because they have a definition for oral sex.
Am I the only one who thinks this is a little over the top?
If our children are smart enough to go [...]

Bits and bobs

I came across a super cute pin cushion pattern on Ravely the other day, but when I clicked to check out the pattern i came across this!  Unfortunately I can not read Danish!  Now, from looking at the pictures, I’m pretty sure I could puzzle it out, but i always like to be sure.  Then I had [...]

Cross Posted from Think

I did my very fist audio blog tee hee. You can listen to me eventually ramble about privacy issues here. Which basically is 10 minutes and 23 seconds of me rambling about my day ~_~

Deforestation

I came across this video in a interesting post that conveys the rate in which deforestation is occurring.

I occasionally run into people who brush off this topic as of small importance.  I just can’t help but disagree. 
This should be a world concern.
ps. I’ve notice this doesn’t work in my Chrome browser, but i checked Mozilla and [...]

There’s always Hope

I’ve been wrestling with feeling melancholy.
It just happens.
Sometimes it comes on of it’s own accord,  sometimes it’s just something in life that you have no control over.
It hits me like I wave I didn’t see coming while I was too busy admiring the beauty in a tidal pool.
I spent all day worrying, and watery eyed.
Unraveling like a [...]

Happy Friday!

Doing the Friday Five just cause 

What’s something you frequently misplace? My keys! All the time to the point where Andy makes fun of me 
For whom are you often mistaken?  My twin sister.  Happens almost on a daily basis!
When were you last misinformed about something important? Everyday.  Question institutions of control. Question media sources. Question until [...]

New Look, kinda ><

Ta da!
As Sam said some time ago, I pretty much recycle the exact same code every time and just change the graphics.  >< Butttttt, i likes it
Once again, it’s a hand drawn doodle, but with hints of color.   Worried by the last time I tried to spice things up, I was pretty hesitant [...]

Sneak Peek Meow

Christmas is over? Wait-what? Oh yah, i knew that.  And my blog does too I swear!!
As always, finding the time to sit down and draw out some ideas, and then scan and incorporate those ideas into a working layout, is a challenge.  But I took an hour this morning before work to start on an idea I’ve [...]

Something in the Air…

I feel a static charge today.
I woke up feeling excited and positive about all kinds of things.  Not least of which is my new fabulous skirt that I crocheted and am wearing this very second!  (pics to come soon I promise)  But the moment I stepped outside my door, i felt the faint twinges of [...]

Little bit ‘o Geek talk

I think I’ve mentioned here and there that I play in a D&D campaign every Wednesday night.  In early December, we lost one of our players who had to move up province for work (sad-face), so we decided since we have to look for another player, it might be a good time to move from [...]
