Family Man
Sep 27th
It’s official: I’m a family man.
Why?
Because I now own a digital camera and an all-in-one printer-scanner thing. All’s I need is a minivan.
Mother Nature
Sep 27th
The notion of Mother Nature is not something I hold dear to myself, so I often have opportunity to laugh at the rest of the world who does.
A Xerox add that arrived today – “Only Mother Nature can create colour more vibrant. But can she do it at 35 ppm?”
On a bar of soap I have at home – “Family is Nature’s way of giving us friends.”
The other day I had a mental picture of a little girl asking her mother, “Mommy, what’s the different between Mother Nature and God?”
Legend of the Black Ninja*
Sep 27th
I’ve made it to level three. I’m very pleased with myself. Maija is my chearleading squad.
*I’m told by Nathan Wright that Gaiden means Legend. So I translate Ninja Gaiden Black to mean Legend of the Black Ninja. Somehow Legend of the Black Ninja just sounds more intense than the original Legend of the Ninja.

I gave the umbrella to my beautiful wife this morning… that said, even if I hadn’t given it to her I might not have taken it myself. I don’t like umbrellas. If only I had had some idea of the wetting I would receive.
Plus, I’m wearing new boots today. When I left the house I thought to myself, “Self, lets put on boots, that way if anything happens, at least our feet will be dry.” The unfortunate part of new boots is the breaking-in process, which would have happened on whatever day I first wore them. But for it to More >
Sunday morning, all’s quiet
Sep 25th
I just drank some gin and feel a little dizzy. It was a mere mouthful (like honestly, a small swig), but I haven’t really ate or drunk much yet today. And I haven’t actually had gin on it’s own before.
My lovely wife has swimming evaluations this morning, so she’s off at the pool. I am left to pursue my boyish pursuits… videos games, and cleaning, washing and vaccuuming. I would love to spin some records right about now, but my headphones are still at my mother’s house. No dice.
Our new apartment is pretty flippin awesome. I might put some pictures More >
Revenge on Rush Hour
Sep 20th
I just played the demo of Burnout: Revenge. Oh my goodness. Probably the coolest looking/feeling car game ever.
If you’ve never played Burnout, just think “smashing cars and other stuff, with your suped up racecar.” Realism? Forget it. Total fun time destruction? Oh yeah.
In other gaming news, I put a downpayment on Ninja Gaiden Black which should be out in the next couple of days. I’m getting ready to have my rear-end handed to me on a samurai-sword shaped platter.
Plus, my guy at EB Games says they expect Halo 3 to be in store in July next year. Whether that’s accurate More >
Bell sucks.
Sep 20th
I hate Bell. I just got off the phone with another of their idiotic customer service personelle.
I signed up for residential phone service from them, via the web on Saturday. I knew it would take 2 business days to connect, so by today I should be sweet. Oh no… I called them and they had no record of my request for service.
So, we start again. They won’t set up my phone for another 2 business days, from the point when I fax them my rental agreement. Which my landlord hasn’t yet given me a copy of.
But I feel good about More >
Heeeeere’s Johnny!
Sep 17th
We’re back!
We had an amazing honeymoon on beautiful Lake Muskoka, staying at the Casa del Livingston/Hobbs. We’re now settling into our new home, and lives. Marital adjustment is quite an interesting, exciting thing, let me tell you.
A big thank you to everyone who came to our wedding, and to those who gave us wonderful presents and thick envelopes. To those who gave poor presents, and thin envelopes… that’s fine. Thank you as well. ;)
As a new stage of life has begun, I thought it only fitting to start a new blog design. If you see any holes, or anything missing More >

Sep 10th
I had wanted a chance to go off into the wilderness, literally. To be away from any other human being and fairwell myself before I got married, but things didn’t work out that way. So… here I am.
My name is Jonathan Puddle. I’m the son of a man named Stephen. A creative man, a funny and talented man. A times a loud man, and at times a quiet man. At times a complicated man. But a man I’ve always been close with, always been friends with, and always will be. I’m the son of a woman named Rhonda. A wise, More >
