It isn't about gin.

More words of wisdom

I was spending some time visualizing my goals this evening post existential crisis moment #683 and gosh darn it, I think the voice of GOD* came into my kitchen this evening and said, "We can't all be Dooce."

Duly noted, big guy. Duly noted.

 

*I am assuming this because it kind of sounded like James Earl Jones.

The Tragic End of Project Egg

Project Egg officially ended today with particularily nasty results.

 

Here’s the lesson – if you have a deformed egg and think keeping it in the fridge for four months “just to see what happens” is a good idea, I”ve already tested that hypothesis…it is not.

 

It cracked and oozed out this incredibly foul beige coloured liquid. I tried to pick it up but the foul beige liquid had hardened to the fridge shelf, so the eggs broke open and that’s what came out.

 

The blurry photos don’t do it justice, but I was having a hard time breathing.

The Banff Centre

I went out to the Banff Centre yesterday for the Cybera Summit – they ran a mini-DemoCampBanff to expose the idea of DemoCamp to a different group of people. I think it went really well.

 

The Banff Centre is an amazing place – so beautiful. The food there is always delicious and the scenery is obviously outstanding. I love that their tagline is “Inspiring Creativity.”

 

I saw this in the bathroom (horribly shot from my camera phone) and couldn’t resist making the comparison. Even in the bathroom, when you are drunkenly buying tattoos for two, the Banff Centre would like to remind you to be creative.

Fail!

 

What’s worse? Being recognized for being on Failblog, or recognizing someone as being on Failblog and asking to take a picture with them?

Hard to say.

Au Secours! Au Secours!

I just sliced my finger open while trying to cut meat. 

How embarassing. Fortunately, Patrick at the office and he has first aid training, even though our first aid kit isn't up to his standards.

Note to self: don't make fun of other people when they do this, as sooner or later, it apparently happens to all of us.
