Tammy

A Canadian living in France with her Dutch hubby after 17 years in the Netherlands. A total TV and movie junkie who is never not knitting. She also enjoys other crafts, nail art, cuddling her dogs and general geekery. Otherwise just working on getting by and making a life for herself in her 'new' country.

Babel FTL!!!

For those non-gamer non-geek-speak people out there, FTL means FOR THE LOSE! I honestly felt like I should be on 24 hour suicide watch after walking out of that movie. What a fucking drag.

Frogged and Favorite Things

A while back I signed up for a few sites to have blog reviews done, just for shits and giggles. Today another one of the reviews came in from Frog My Blog and it was pretty good. I got 4 out of 5 bugs and the only complaint they had really was the colors of my theme. It does seem …

FOAD – Scary Links

I’ve been waiting for days to post about this because it is perfect for FOAD Thursday.   It’s about those links, the scary ones.  The ones people send you and say “Hey, can you see the difference in these photos?!” or “Listen to this song backwards, it’s funny!” or “Read this carefully, can you find the mistake?!”. The ones that you are …

Rat Attack!

My dog loves to watch the rats doing their things in their cage. They are starting to take the piss though and have realized that while he’s intrigued by them, he’s also afraid of them. So now every time he goes near the cage, they take a running leap at the side to scare the shit out of him. I …

Talking Politics

Ok, I really don’t do politics… although I wish I did because then I’d understand a lot more of what is going on in the world. I’ve always avoided politics like the plague, because everyone seems to get so riled up about it I figured I could do without the frustration… Here’s a conversation between my husband and I this …

Some Recent Reviews

The book I finished just was the 2nd one I had bought by Kathy Reichs.  You might remember the review of the first book, Deja Dead.   As promised, I read the 2nd in the series and gave it a shot. On Saturday evening I went out with a few girlfriends to see a movie. Again, I was totally glad to …

Tree Skirt Progress – 1 Week

It’s now one week since I started my tree skirt project for x-mas.  I still have a month and a half to finish it but I’m trying to get the patchwork done as quickly as possible.  I’ve never gotten past the patchwork stage and the actual quilting and binding is unfamiliar territory to me so I want to leave as …

Peeped Out – Mission Accomplished!

After 103 days I’ve finally been knocked off 25peeps.  I’m fine with it though because I managed to do what I set out to do when I signed up… outlast all the titty pics.  Number two on the Hall of Fame list is the longest lasting cleavage pic in 25peeps history so far, and it only lasted 76 days. There …

Saturday Photo Hunt – Safe

Grab the Scavenger Hunt code. Photo Theme. Join the blogroll. Visit participants. This week’s theme is safe and once again I was left wondering what to use.  I found the last few weeks themes sort of ‘meh’ and all quite similar.  I’m hoping the new batch makes for some more interesting photos. I thought of what makes me think of …

Game Free

Today I sold my World of Warcraft account to an old gaming friend.  It’s sort of weird to know that someone else will be playing my characters but at the same time I’m glad to be free of it.   I’ve been much happier since quitting gaming and unloading the account means it’s even less likely of me ever returning. I …

FOAD – Waitress Bitch

This week’s FOAD is going out to the pancake makeup wearing, pissy attitude giving, hate-my-job-so-I-will-make-you-miserable waitress bitch I encountered yesterday. Yesterday I went into town to meet up with a group of other expat women for a bit of shopping and lunch.  After mass confusion and not being able to decide where to go for lunch, one of the girls  …
