Oh yeah, I’m a jerk

Nick: I have to stop by work tomorrow. Donna: What work? Nick: My OLD work. THANKS FOR RUBBING IT IN. Hee. Oops. Okay, I’m a jerk.

This is Dumb, with a capital D.

Occasionally, my body & I disagree. Sometimes quite vehemently. For instance, I think stress should be a purely mental thing, unless it’s played out over long term. Long term stress, fine, like if you’ve been working 80 hours a week for a month, or you just can’t get any downtime, or whatever. That makes sense, [...]

Crafting my life away

So, I’m a member of this club… and the first rule is, I’m not supposed to talk about it. And the second rule is… I’m not supposed to talk about it. But I can see by your face that you’re already a member. Anyway. I am totally on the “I want to make shit” bandwagon. [...]

We come from a long line of voodoo witches

I think my mother’s a witch. No, not the “omg, she’s such a wretched person” kind of witch. The kind that has control over weather and flying monkeys and can turn you into a toad. So, this morning I called my mother. Not usually reason for a blog post, except I had to call her [...]

Typical

So the sock that I pulled out of the dryer this morning to replace the one with a hole? It has a hole. I should have stayed in bed.

How to Spot a Canadian

Ok, so I was reading about How to Spot a Canadian, and nodding sadly at the terrible truth of Nickelback, and understanding the “Canadian slang” just fine even though I don’t live in a cold part of the country (this winter notwithstanding), and I don’t really like hockey… but really? Long johns is a Canadian [...]

Day one of living with a bum

…and the mocking has started already. Because hey, SOME of us have to go to work… Yeah, I’m a horrible person, but luckily Nick has either buckets of patience, or a good sense of humor. Possibly both. So this unemployment thing isn’t too bad. Sure, no job, but at least they handed him a large [...]

Damn.

It would seem.. the rumors were true. Guess who’s one of 200? Nice timing, EA — Skate 2 launched yesterday, a big portion of the Skate 2 team got laid off today. Huh.

Change of plans…

…so maybe I won’t kiss a girl and like it (or listen to someone sing about it) — Nick’s out of town this weekend, and while he’ll probably be back in time for La Show, he might not, and even if he does, he’ll probably be bagged by then. Soooo … selling the tickets. $70 [...]

I fail at life.

Ok, no finger wagging, I am pissed off enough at my own stupidity. Remember this? Recap: I failed at budget planning, and forgot that my car insurance comes out this week. My plan was, yesterday or today, to stop at the banks (Vancity & RBC are across the road from each other, which makes moving [...]
