I own a problem in this specific matter.
A very fascinating idea. Are you experiencing more quarrels?
Focus on, it will be a good blog
in the foreseeable future.
Its such as you learn my mind!
You seem to know so much approximately this,
like you wrote the e-book in it or something.
I think that you just can do with a few
p.c. to drive the message house a little bit,
but other than that, this is magnificent blog.
A great read. I’ll certainly be back.
It is highly helpful for me. Huge thumbs up
for this blog post about stainless steel mosaic!
I’m impressed, I must say. Really
rarely do I encounter
a blog that’s both educative and entertaining,
and let me tell you,
you have hit the nail on the head.
Your idea is outstanding;
the issue is something that not enough people
are speaking
intelligently
about.
I am very happy that I stumbled
across this in my search
for something relating
to this.
I can go to a clean place.

aunt ramona’s resplendent revenge pudding
first draft, SAGA, july 2003 @ PRC
prompt: malvern pudding recipe, the stone diaries (carol shields)
take 6 slices of stale lust
half a cup of infidelity
shred a pound of malice leaves
and soak together in brine of contempt.
add a dash of resentment
2 teaspoons disgust
a quarter-cup mistrust
2 slabs of hostility
and one 14-ounce can of bad manners.
shake with indifference and set aside.
in separate bowl, blend 2 parts regret
with 1 shot of arrogance
4 tablespoons jealousy, 8 degrees of anxiety
and a pinch of fear.
stir furiously and baste onto halfshell of broken dreams.
pour contents of first bowl into large, pre-annoyed skillet.
simmer until all reason has evaporated,
scorching all but the last remnants of hope.
cover and stifle in 375-degree oven for 45 minutes
or until the cook’s pitcher of margaritas has been devoured.
remove from oven; uncover and let grumble for 10 minutes.
season liberally with coarsely chopped denial, diced rudeness
and extract of adultery.
salt and pepper to taste.
serves the bastard right.
*best eaten in separate dwellings;
*grated cheese or sour cream may be added to cut bitterness;
*can be ignored in refrigerator for up to 12 years; also freezes well.
little white dog
what if
what if the moon never showed you its charms
what if it took someone else in its arms
what if these oceans, what if your eyes
what if i can’t find cute boots in my size?
what if next-door wants their lawnmower back
what if the dog joins an urban wolf pack
what if they dig up our mountain ash tree
what if the language police come for me
what if the cardinals eat the last cherry
what if the rhythms of love never vary?
what would you say to a walk on the shore
would you bashfully smile if i asked you for more
where could we hide if i ditched off from work
would we sneak to a place with a smug hotel clerk
would we sip from each other and roll off the bed
would we bang-shang-a-lang on sheets satin and red
and what of our nakedness, robust and sassy
what of rose petals, bourbon, and oysters, first-classy!
what if the husbands came home early and found
their huge boring houses had burned to the ground
night threads
winter trees
winter solstice
E-Town Top 30, #6: Canada Day fireworks
For those of you just joining us, this list features
a selection of my favourite Edmonton things …
in an attempt to remind myself why I continue to live here despite the seriously unfriendly winters.
(And yes, I grudgingly admit that so far, this current version is Not Too Bad.) Today’s offering: The annual Canada Day fireworks display.
I am privileged to have access to a 14th-floor condo balcony overlooking the river valley right by the High Level Bridge, so these photos of various July 1 night-sky bedazzlements were taken from arguably the best seat in the house. I’ll let them tell the story. (NOTE: Best viewed while eating brie and sipping wine and laughing at all the little people standing in the mile-long lineup for mini-donuts at Ezio Farone Park.)
