>I'm in Doris' car, as Jeffrey steers us along the dangerous highway where a dramatic semi and car relationship almost ensued. We just visited the Royal Terrell Museum where the delights of dinosaur dioramas erupted in full force. It however is not as exciting to me as living organism exhibits, such as the Bug Room…

>Super Busy Week.
> Sorry folks, I’ve been really busy this week, running errands, making ends meet, working, and altogether finding an end to summer. So the blog has been/will be kind of dead for a bit whilst I prepare for a much needed getaway out of town, and slightly slobber over the newly official Maemo based Nokia…
>Kohlberg’s Morality
> As I prepare myself for my school psychology program, I stumbled on some old material that really seemed to hit home. According to Kohlbergs Level of Morality, people undergo six stages of analyzing moral dilemmas. In reference to my previous post about letting emotions take control of your behavior, it was interesting to see…
>Really Interesting Hands on with the Canon G11
>This shot shows the wonderful controls on the Canon G11. On the fly adjustment to EV compensation (think how dark/light the exposure will be), ISO adjustment (albeit I wouldn’t be crossing ISO 200 on this thing), Program mode…..I effing love the controls on the G11. I wish my Nikon D90 had controls like this. The…
>What a Friday
>One thing I am particularly ashamed of myself is letting my emotions get a hold of me. I am a firm believer in maintaining a calm cool collected state, where logic and reflection overrule feelings, instinct and reaction. This is the only manner with which a professional in child care, education and psychology must work…
>Really Super Effing Tired
>Not really looking forward tm morning. I need to workout before I goto work, and I also have a closing shift, which means the day just seems to go just a little longer. I’m a little worried that our Stollery fundraiser isn’t going to go well, and I’m like zonked out for energy. Just a…
>Good night
>A better night than last night, albeit the retaliatory effects of Monday led me coming into work bitter and ready to bite. Soon after I had delicious coffee (Hazelnut cream!) which wasn't really coffee, but more like glorified hot chocolate. It was fantastic and thus I was happy again. I was probably just really tired….
>Eff You Monday.
>Having a pretty shitty Monday. Work is terrible, I lost my sweater and no matter where I go, work seems to follow me. Its like telling me “Hey there’s just two weeks left! Let’s make it painful, bitch.” Its either that, or I just really really hate Mondays. A large portion of my anger is…
>Unrelated
>Today’s browsing lead to a few interesting things I would like to talk about. This includes a new public service announcement from the Wales Gwent Police Department and the Alienware M17x gaming laptop. This is a new PSA for the use of texting whilst driving. Be warned this is extremely graphic, akin to the graphic…
>5 Year Plan
>I thought it would be interesting to do a quick Coles notes of what my next few years would entitle. Namely the preparation of my niche in society as a school psychologist. This is primarily due to the fact that I have just under two weeks before I embark on my journey to train in…
>Mmm recovery road from calorie intake
>Yesterday was Magdalene’s birthday party, which was smashing as usual. In particular I enjoyed sitting on her trampoline after the cake was cut, and talking with Sij, something that is becoming rarer and rarer these days. Talking with an old friend, away from the hustle and bustle, a plate of sinful calories and a cooling…
>Just finished a solid day at the gym
>I am on my way home on the LRT after a solid day at the gym. I did six sets of the military 75lb dumbbell press (6 reps per set), and the 8×8 90lb dumbbell decline press. To top it all off I did the four sets of new ab exercises Ed/Marc taught me. The…
