Finis?
There are guys at my house right this very moment who claim they are finishing my bathroom today… Reminder of where things left off here. Any guesses as to what will actually be done when I get home tonight? Update: some things were actually done! I’m amazed! It’s not finished yet, but it’s actually starting … Continue reading Finis?
Dragon Breath
With the bathroom renovations still underway (we’re now at day 26 and counting…), my morning routine has been all over the place. More than once I’ve gotten into the shower, only to remember 2 seconds too late that my towels are still hanging on the rack in the den. Since I have no mirror in … Continue reading Dragon Breath
Rambo
The other day I had a flashback to my youth. Shane pointed me toward the Rambo Town website. Oh Sly. How you’ll haunt my teenaged recollections for years and years to come.
I had nearly forgotten about that, when Maktaaq, on the Metroblogging Vancouver site, posted an exerpt from the Province regarding Hope‘s status as not only Rambotown, but the Chainsaw Carving Capital.
For those not in the know, I spent my teenaged years (from one month after I turned 13, to one month after I turned 19) living in the town of Hope. It was definitely different from the shelters of Greater Vancouver Suburbia that had been my home both before, and after I lived there.
A snippet from the Rambotown website:
Besides, the town of Hope where the film takes place is a nice place too. Even if you’re not interested in the movie, it’s definitely worth a visit and you can spend a great time there. So to let you take part in my experiences and to give you a little insight in the making of “First Blood” in Hope, I did what I`ve always wanted to do: A website about “First Blood”…
Funny, a “nice place” where you can “spend a great time” isn’t exactly how I remember it.
Warning, philosophical recollecting and reminiscing ahead…

RenohNO
I bet y’all thought I took off on that vacation already didn’tcha? I wish. I mean, I haven’t posted in a few days, and stopped taking pictures of my bathroom renovation (which of course must be done by now, right?) – so it stands to reason that you’d think I was gone. Not so much. … Continue reading RenohNO
Desperate Times…
The bathroom renovations continue. While I’m pretty adaptable and don’t really mind being inconvenienced with the lack of shower etc. for a couple weeks I did make one strong demand: at no time should I be left without a toilet overnight. So much for that. The tile floor and tub surround went in yesterday, and … Continue reading Desperate Times…

We now return you to your regularly scheduled fluff programming. After months of waiting for the Strata Council to get their heads out of their collective arses, my landlord has finally been able to get going with a complete renovation of my bathroom. So far it’s been kinda cool. I get up in the morning … Continue reading Reno-mania
