A blog full of memories
I’ve been scoping out a few new songs on the internet lately, and I thought I would head on over to my friend Rach’s page to see what she’s been up to. Looks like she’s been working on her sites all summer. Found this banner. Had to post it. You can now buy her songs …
WAY TO GO RACH! I’ve never been more proud of anybody in my life. So, if you’ve been reading my blog at all, you know a little bit about my friend Rachel Ferguson. She is a 17 year old singer songwriter from Alymer, Quebec (the greater Ottawa-Gatineau region). And, she’s kicking ass! I love it. …
Rachel’s song Joshua is the new beat in Hot 89.9 FM’s Battle of the Beats. I sent an email to people I know (and some I don’t) to vote for Rach’s song on the radio station. I didn’t know you have to vote AS THEY ARE PLAYING THE SONG. At 6h00 pm tonight, I streamed …
At the beginning of January, I wrote about my very talented teenage friend Rachel Ferguson. Today, her Dad sent me this email: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Jen, Due to popular demand JOSHUA will be taking on Nelly Furtado’s new single, tonight at 9pm on the Battle of the Beats with Cash Conner, HOT 89.9 We printed up …
“You know Rach, I don’t think you should go to school this year.”–Not exactly words you would expect from your father. But, as Rachel Ferguson and her dad were wondering around campus the day before school started, that’s exactly what he said. And–that’s exactly what she did. She took the year off to work on …
A tasty, hearty winter salad for #foodlovers I stayed with some friends in Ottawa for a bit during the summer of 1999. Glenn was doing his kayak-outfitting thing then and was also the stay-at-home parent. He would make lunch for us (his daughter Rachel and myself). One day, he made this super-tasty, warm, dark green …
One day last year as I was chatting and catching up with my friend Rachel Ferguson, she mentioned that she was vegan. I told her the problem I had with being vegetarian (oh-so-many-years-ago) was that I could not seem to get enough protein. She told me about Quinoa. It has a relatively high portion of …
I can’t seem to have one without the other. I like food. In order to be able to eat all the food that I like, I need to exercise. In order to exercise, I need good music. But whatever, I have to start a new exercise regime. I can’t have all this food making a …
[unfinished post…I have to find my links] Fawn tagged me yesterday with a meme. I didn’t know what it was, so I looked it up. From the internet Wikipedia, a meme”…consists of any unit of cultural information, such as a practice or idea, that gets transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to …
On the cbc.ca homepage the other day, I saw this advertisment: MAN!! A few years ago I went to Alberta to visit family and my cousin NIK had a version of hockey night on her phone. When I got back to California, I told a few of my fellow Canadian geek friends about it. Joe …
When I first started this blog, I didn’t know what it was going to be. It was a gift from my friend Waitman who saw that I needed a place to express myself and to find my voice. I have been trying to contact Waitman recently to let him know how much I appreciate his …
When my sisters and aunt came to visit, we somehow got talking about losers and the sign for losers. When my friend Rachel was 11, she showed me the universal sign for loser along with a little song. I can’t remember the song, but I do remember that it was Rach showed me that universal …
