Oftentimes, Kiwanians ask me why more CKI alumni don't join Kiwanis after being in CKI. And I have a myriad of answers for them: – they may not be settled yet in a city or in a career and don't feel they have the time or ability to contribute properly to a traditional club –… Continue reading Kiwanis Awkwardness… (a rant of sorts and a whole lot of suggestions)
Month: August 2012
So, one of the hazards of working…
… in an entry level part-time job, even if it's only for a few shifts a week, is that in the Alberta economy, folks often aren't terribly reliable at said entry level part-time job (in other news, we're hiring! If you need a job my workplace is definitely having a job fair on Saturday looking… Continue reading So, one of the hazards of working…
Pizza, pizza, and more pizza!
So last night's board game pizza party was a rousing success! We had 5 pizzas and 2 DQ dessert pizzas make their appearance (though only small amounts remain thanks to people bringing essentially the right amounts of food!). Everyone, including those with dietary restrictions/limitations/requirements (whatever) seemed to get enough food, so that made me happy.… Continue reading Pizza, pizza, and more pizza!
I'm totally nerdy and I like it!
So yesterday, thanks to The Flog, I downloaded Pocket Planes for my iPod and have been playing that whenever the internet is taking a while to load a particular site or something. Today I'm wearing my TARDIS skirt! And I'm hosting a board games pizza party! And I got my redditgifts AwesomeSocks gift that I… Continue reading I'm totally nerdy and I like it!
(Re-)learning how to nap well…
So I've gotten into the habit over the years of burning the candle at both ends so to speak, and well, my body does not handle this as well as it once did (darn aging/etc.!). So lately, given that my 'free'ish time has been in the mid afternoon, usually accompanied by things to do and… Continue reading (Re-)learning how to nap well…
Actually being at the Fringe this year was great!
I went on three separate occasions, which was pretty cool: I almost overdid it the first day but all in all it was a good time. It reminded me of how much I love live theatre (the Citadel season does not begin until September after all), and really, the nature of the Edmonton Fringe Theatre… Continue reading Actually being at the Fringe this year was great!
Dreaming of the Fringe?
So last night I dreamed of attending bizarre Fringe plays in churches, abandoned building and fields with Laury (who was happy to see the play we saw together, phew!) and JD (who was being enormously picky and strange about theatre…)… and at some point this morphed into being in the plays themselves. This was an… Continue reading Dreaming of the Fringe?
On playing Civilization V
So I don't often play video games these days on my PC (mostly as they tend to eat large chunks of time), and usually stick to relatively casual gaming on my iPod Touch. The exception to this seems to be when I decide to play Civ. And this weekend, I apparently did just that. It… Continue reading On playing Civilization V
Fringe thoughts…
Seeing as I put all of NO planning into going to the Fringe until today… and promptly realized that the 3 shows that I've actually heard of and seem like shows I'd want to attend aren't going to be all on one evening (which would have bean the easiest solution) but instead I'm going to… Continue reading Fringe thoughts…
Four people still have six of my books (on what is apparently a long long term loan)
And, I really don't mind them having them if they're reading them or getting good use out of them. But if they are not (and if they're not somehow lost — and if they're somehow lost I'd love to know about it properly *sighs*) it would be nice to have them back. I like sharing… Continue reading Four people still have six of my books (on what is apparently a long long term loan)
