This means that I've already said my goodbyes and yet for some reason we're all still walking in the same direction, not really knowing what to say.... Ally 2010-02-11T11:07:22-03:30 http://www.allythebell.net/archives/001521.html Dani, don't kill me. I'm thinking of discontinuing this blog. I've really been lax in my updates recently, and when I do update I never have anything to say that's very important any more. I started this blog way back... Ally 2010-01-24T22:34:42-03:30 http://www.allythebell.net/archives/001520.html We have ourselves a blizzard. It's also supposed to snow next weekend as well. I'm not worried. I'm sure it will rain soon....

I'm not being facile here. Remember it took me a full week... Rants Ally 2010-01-06T09:49:40-03:30 http://www.allythebell.net/archives/001518.html It's interesting to read the Ottawa Citizen and see the headlines complaining about the weather on the front page: TEN CENTIMETERS OF SNOW! WINDS UP TO SIXTY KILOMETERS AN HOUR! Wow. That's rough. I've reached the point where I don't... Rants Ally 2009-12-11T10:35:31-03:30 http://www.allythebell.net/archives/001517.html Will post again soon.... Ally 2009-12-08T10:46:35-03:30 http://www.allythebell.net/archives/001516.html I swear, the older I get, the more my nightmares resemble Stephen King short stories. This is the one I had just a few minutes ago. I'm hoping that by writing it down I'll get it out of my head.... Dreams Ally 2009-10-25T08:43:25-03:30 http://www.allythebell.net/archives/001515.html You know when things get all crazy, and you complain about how crazy they are, and then they get crazier? This is one of those times. Finished: Thanksgiving. SSHRC proposal. Three transcriptions. Some comp readings. Still to accomplish: More comp...

What this means is that, every September for the past, say, five years of my life, my attention, and that of my colleagues, has been focused on producing pages and... Ally 2009-09-27T14:28:58-03:30 http://www.allythebell.net/archives/001513.html The fruit delivery at the office happens on Mondays at around midday. This means that the only bananas available on Mondays are either so ripe you can't pick them up without squishing them, or so green that if you eat... Events Ally 2009-09-14T09:45:17-03:30 http://www.allythebell.net/archives/001512.html I feel more than a little overwhelmed at the moment. Of COURSE I didn't do any of my homework while I was back in Ottawa, so that means that not only am I behind on my readings, but I'm also... Rants Ally 2009-09-09T12:12:46-03:30 http://www.allythebell.net/archives/001511.html I am returned to St. John's. And reality kind of bites, I tells you. We got home at midnight on Monday, and the toilet was broken, so we had to flush it manually (read: stuff hand inside tank and dig...

Despite delays, all three rings are shined up and ready to go. Speech is written, itineraries handed out. I just need to decorate... Ally 2009-08-20T00:03:38-03:30
