Vox Hunt: Oh Canada!

In honor of Canada Day, show us your favorite Canadian. For crying out loud, spell it FAVOURITE if you are going to use the word to refer to Canadians. Anyway... My favourite Canadian would be very hard to choose, seeing as most of the people ...

Home, and Not Home

nobody@vox.com(Manon-It-All) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:07:01 -0400

I've just returned back home from visiting the place where I grew up: A small town where most of the cars still have six-digit license plate numbers but is big enough to be infected with the current epidemic of never using the car's signals. A ...

Addiction

Because of everything that's been going on, I've packed up my sewing machine and put away the stuff I had in my quilting studio. I have bins and bins of beautiful, rich cotton fabrics that are now in storage. I can hear my entire stash screaming...

Your Name Here

Something I've wondered about... Game show name tags. How are they made? Are they done by an in-house person or are they sent out? How long does it take to make one? Wouldn't the staff have to know well in advance who will be on the show to m...

Don't Quit Your Day Job

nobody@vox.com(Manon-It-All) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:40:08 -0400

My husband and I have just finished re-doing our laundry room. I'll admit that Smike did most of the work, but I did all of the research. I've been cheerfully annoying during the whole process, muttering things to him like "Stewart Copeland neve...

Poor Me

nobody@vox.com(Manon-It-All) — Wed, 21 May 2008 13:45:43 -0400

I am so tired, discouraged, and disappointed. There are few things that can be as soul-killing as the demise of your expectations, so it's a good thing I didn't have any. In the midst of all that is happening, I feel like I'm standing alone, and...

House Fire

nobody@vox.com(Manon-It-All) — Tue, 06 May 2008 13:16:31 -0400

I cannot tell you what it is like to watch, helpless, as a neighbour family's entire lives go -- literally -- up in flames. I tried to help as much as I could, but there was nothing I could do except stand back and offer what assistance I was ab...

First Installment of Second-Hand Joy

nobody@vox.com(Manon-It-All) — Fri, 02 May 2008 23:29:59 -0400

You already know that I'll have a lot to say about the whole experience, but for now (because I'm desperate for some sleep) I thought I'd share this photo from fourth row at last night's Police concert: Yes, Stewart, that green blur you saw was ...

Weird Request of the Day

nobody@vox.com(Manon-It-All) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 23:01:31 -0400

Duchess: Mum, can you find me that book that's written in Haiku and is about spring? Me: Uhhh... we don't even have one of those. Duchess: Oh. I am almost sure she expected me to write that book for her, tonight.
