liking my soup

nobody@vox.com(natashalcd) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 21:34:15 -0500

stumbled on this a few weeks back, it's a pretty sweet program that integrates all your web stuff in one place. the cool thing about it is that you can link it to a domain or sub-domain.
best thing - it's 100% free! (and 0 advertising!)

Soup is a tumblelog, a super-easy blog that can do more than just text: post links, quotes, videos, audio and files.

Quick overview:

Friends view: Easily follow what your friends are up to in one combined list
Customization: Pick from skins, tweak your layout or edit the CSS for full flexibility
Domain names: Be independent and run Soup at your own address
Groups: Invite friends to share a Soup with you.
Easy interface: In-place editing, live customization previews, endless scrolling, automatic post backup, no seperate backend...
Free, no ads: Your page is all about you: We won't slap our logo or anything else you don't want on it.

Working at the Dog Wash Yeah!

nobody@vox.com(natashalcd) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:55:46 -0500

Last night we took Scout to the new Dog Wash in Brantford. It's located at the Galaxy Self-Serve Car Wash. They had such a great set up - just like a self-serve car washing station.

The Dog Area was in a room, 2 stalls for washing. Big basins for dogs of all sizes and a bouncy hose that sprays water, shampoo, conditioner, and flea solution.

Yesterday around 6pm Brantford, ON had a tornado. I went out after and shot some of the damage in the neighbourhood. the last shot (sky/tornado) is NOT my photo. It was taken by Mike Munday and was on the cover of the Brantford Expositor Newspaper this morning.

Hi there,
I'm writing from About Magazine and we're doing an article on The Mod Club for our July issue. I"m wondering if we could use this image
www.flickr.com/photos/acoustic_punk_sound/2521621130/
for credit.
Please let me know if you'd be at all interested.
Thanks so much,

cup of java

nobody@vox.com(natashalcd) — Sun, 25 May 2008 10:01:26 -0500

it all started at the trailer when the very old 70's coffee maker decided to stop working. we ran out to Canadian Tire and bought this very nice Black & Decker 5 Cup.

Instead of leaving it at the trailer to replace the broken one, i decided to take it home. I've used it a few times already and it's helping my "Stop going to Tim Horton's" goal. (I love Tim's - but it gets $$$)

choices

nobody@vox.com(natashalcd) — Wed, 14 May 2008 12:30:04 -0500

"Life requires all of us to make choices. Inescapably we make some wise choices and some foolish ones. And sometimes, in our choosing, we make enormously painful mistakes. In loving certain persons, we cannot avoid neglecting others. In taking care of ourselves reasonably well, carrying out duties at home or at work, we cannot find the extra energy for those who need more from us. It's hard to accept these human limitations." (Ann Kaiser Stearns, 1984)

- excerpt from a text i'm reading for one of my summer classes:

Living Through Personal Crisis
