Back at the beginning of the year, I talked about the roundabout dance ad campaign. I got thinking today that I should put up the mp3 of the song for two reasons: 1. the song is catchy, and 2. the words scare the hell out of me. So, may I have this roundabout dance? Do …

Customer Depreciation Event
It’s that time of year again. That time of the year when Rogers rolls out their Rogers Customer Appreciation contest, it’s inaccessible, I get mad, and blog what happens when phone and email reps hear about it. Bla bla bla. So yesterday I get the email saying that Rogers would like to thank me for …
Here Boy. Watch Your…Oops
I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this specifically before. If I have, it needs mentioning again. If you see a handler and guide dog standing at the top of steps, for the love of Pete, no matter how strong the urge is, do not, under any circumstances, urge the dog down the steps! Got it? …
Large Babble-Fest Comin’ Your Way
It’s been a little while since I’ve talked about whatever I wanted without a singular focus, and the mood struck me to do it, so here I am. Mother Nature is a miserly old witch this year. She gave us a short summer, and then, right on schedule, brought the fall! There is something in …
Blinded By Vision
I just got off the phone with someone, and the whole conversation brought a question to the forefront that flits through my mind from time to time. Why are some blinks, and a lot of folks who have any level of vision trouble, so preoccupied with their level of vision? Either they want to make …
Carmen’s On YouTube!
I don’t know how many people remember Carmen apelgren, one of the ladies I was in class with when I got Trixie. Some of us can’t get her song out of our heads… Anyway, she emailed me to say she’d made it up on a TV show and it was now on Youtube! So, Here’s …
Stop! Hey, What’s That Sound, You’re In Our Car So Quiet Down
Jen emailed me this, and it made me chuckle. But I do have to say the man telling this story had a lot more sympathy for the blind dope than I do. I’m sure by the end, you’ll understand why. I didn’t know this, but apparently in england there are certain cars on trains designated …

Stuff That Came Out Of My Head
Ok. Must take another break from labeling. I have everything labeled up to December of 08. Only 7 months to go. Go me! God, I turn into such a labeling zombie. I get so used to typing “news, that was dumb” that things that don’t deserve that tag almost get it and then I have …
I Shouldn’t Have Seen Shadows Of Doubt
A few weeks ago, I said I was going to see a play that my friend Anton was in. I said I was worried about it being lame. I couldn’t have been more wrong. In fact, I think people should see it far and wide. It’s awesome, and not just because Anton was hilarious in …
Here Dumbass dumbass dumbass. That’s right. come Here. over here. *Slap*!
I’ve got a new dog story for ya. I’ve bitched before about people making kissy noises at my dog to get her to move, or calling my dog from across the lawn when she’s taking a poop. This one’s a whole new level of what the hell? I got on the bus. I sat down. …
