Planning: not my strong point

Sometimes I don’t always think things through. Today, the marmot, the marmot’s girlfriend Bobbi, Nick & I were up at some godawful hour in the morning to drive out to Langley for… horsies! Many moons ago, Jenn had a birthday. On that birthday, I gave her a My Little Pony: To be exchanged for one [...]

Warning: Sap ahead.

Well, at least I know ONE person will enjoy reading this… A few years ago, I kept an alternative blog. A few people knew about it, but mostly it was my “less censored” blog, where I wrote about dirty dirty sex and lots of other less politically correct things. Eventually, I let the domain expire, [...]

But does Justice forgive him?

Ok, it is currently SO COLD in my office that I’m wearing my armwarmers in August, and am wrapped up in a big blanket to stave off the hypothermia trying to settle in. What the fuck. This isn’t what air conditioning was designed for. In other news: So the wonderful man I live with adores [...]

You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry

I’m pissed off at my bank (that’d be the Royal Bank, for those playing at home). I still have a hold on my chequing account, despite having cleared up everything on my end (read: deposited the requisite amount that the hold is for, which is not a small sum — thank you, Revenue Canada, for [...]

I swear, I’ve never even BEEN to Japan…

Japanese police have arrested a 20-year-old man who attacked and robbed two people after they stared at his Winnie-the-Pooh costume, officials said on Tuesday.   I swear, this wasn’t me. Well, I don’t like it when people stare either, but … since when does that mean they owe me the contents of their wallet? Huh.

Once more, with feeling

SWEET. I’ve heard back about my remedial exam already: I got into the one that I thought I was too late for, in early September. Awesome. Which means I won’t be testing on Nick’s birthday, and busy panicking on mine. I can panic this month, instead. Other things that amuse me, after spending an hour [...]

Who doesn’t love boots?

So it turns out that my uncle & cousin have started a joint venture: Boots! Who doesn’t love boots? Specifically: Custom boots, made to match your feet exactly. As someone who wears a size 5 1/2 wide and doesn’t like shopping in the kiddie department, I find myself intrigued. From my uncle: For those of [...]

Do you know where your abdomen is?

Sometimes, I am colossally stupid. I know, hard to believe. Here’s the thing: I’m good at this first aid stuff. This might sound conceited, but damnit, I love it and I think it’s fantastic, and I’m pretty confident that I could handle a good deal of weird shit thrown at me. This doesn’t, unfortunately, stop [...]

Beauty is in the eye of…

Evidently Thom Yorke is aware that he’s not one of the pretty people. Although I’m not sure where he gets off on saying that they’re “not so popular”. What the heck? Radiohead isn’t popular? Maybe I’m biased because they make me feel jibbly in my underbits, but huh. I was under the impression they were [...]

Attempting to rebalance karma

So, I’ve been pretty stupidly happy lately. I think it shows. I’m head over heels in love, I have a gorgeous apartment, a wonderful family, a dog who thinks she’s a home alarm system, a Roomba… really, what more could a girl ask for? Of course, this means that the universe has to kick me [...]
