Meghisms: June 2009
http://meghisms.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 27, 2009. Signs my sister has been on my computer. I start to type a search and the first option after typing "s" is "stuffy mustache on a pig". Friday, June 26, 2009. Thursday, June 25, 2009. This is where we used to live. My 25th birthday isn't for another three weeks but I think I'm hitting my quarter life crisis early. Proof: I can't stop listening to BNL's "The Old Apartment". Labels: quarter life crisis. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Well, it might have been the angle. The cameraman ...

52 words for snow: Pangnirtung Landing
http://tamarafairchild.blogspot.com/2013/08/pangnirtung-landing.html
52 words for snow. Thursday, August 22, 2013. On Saturday morning, I went to Pangnirtung with circuit co-counsel to begin meeting with clients and getting our cases ready for the August 19th court circuit. It was a gorgeous day. In February, when I went to Pangnirtung for the first time, I described the somewhat exhilarating Pang landing in my blog. I was really hoping to be able to experience that approach again when we arrived. August 22, 2013 at 12:52 PM. Nice shots of Pang as you landed! The gas tank...

Meghisms: The break begins!
http://meghisms.blogspot.com/2009/12/break-begins.html
Thursday, December 17, 2009. As usual, December comes and we all get the school crazies. End of semester papers, documentary edits, internships, beer. Lots of beer. But somehow we all make it through (mostly thanks to the beer) and now I'm pleasantly back at home in Kamloops, sipping a gingerbread latte that my Starbucks-trained sister lovingly prepared for me and enjoying two weeks sans classes and deadlines. Work? Amanda mostly worked on this show, but I came in to help in announcing Christmas shows ar...

Meghisms: January 2010
http://meghisms.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 25, 2010. Lesson of the week:. Don't drink two mugs of coffee while hurriedly writing an assignment for school before going to see Avatar. Was it good? Hell yes. But it may also have been the longest 2 1/2 hours of my life. In other news, j-school is still a fickle, fickle mistress. But the deadlines and sleep deprivation seem worthwhile when I remember I'll be at the Olympics in two weeks! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Ottawa, ON, Canada. View my complete profile. Run, gloria, run!

Monday, February 8, 2010. Let's go back to the coast, baby, westward to the ocean. In true BC spirit, I had Said the Whale on my iPod as I ventured to the Ottawa airport yesterday morning. My destination: Vancouver, with a stopover at Olympic Glory (yes, capitalized). The last few weeks have been busy but a lot of fun- my feature article on MPs and social media was published (front page! In the Ottawa Citizen's Saturday Observer ( you can find the piece online here. While Ottawa was -11, warm by Ottawa s...

52 words for snow: Sanikiluaq Court Circuit, January 2014 - Part 1
http://tamarafairchild.blogspot.com/2014/01/sanikiluaq-court-circuit-january-2014.html
52 words for snow. Sunday, January 12, 2014. Sanikiluaq Court Circuit, January 2014 - Part 1. The blizzard was over on the morning of Wednesday, January 8. So I should have been fine to fly to Ottawa as scheduled. But there was one sadly predictable problem. My 5:10 pm flight to Ottawa was on Canadian North. And despite the rapidly improving weather, Canadian North cancelled both of their flights for the day. Our Air Inuit plane fueling up in Kuujjuarapik. Okay well maybe not so grateful about missing ou...

Meghisms: September 2009
http://meghisms.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 28, 2009. We've all heard it before. The thing is, it's not even the right question.". My friend Amy looked thoughtfully at her peppermint tea as she used her stir stick to pull out the tea bag, wrapping it tightly around itself like a slug enveloping a tree branch. I took a sip of my pumpkin spice latte. "What's the question then? Amy strained the last of the water from the bag and rested it on a plastic cup lid. Because that's what happens when you're Canada's Next Great Prime Minister.

A young lawyer in South Africa...: December 2011
http://eleonorainsouthafrica.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
A young lawyer in South Africa. Wednesday, 14 December 2011. Of Turtles and Hippos. This past weekend the three of us went on a trip to St. Lucia. Rewind. On Thursday Cesar finally arrived from Canada. I am so excited he is here. He will be staying for a whole month, so we will be exploring the beauty of South Africa together. My office will be closed for the holidays, so we will have a lot of time to travel. Fast Forward. When I say the three of us, I mean: me, Ali and Cesar. There were also weaver bird...
