“Let’s not have sex tonight.” “Ok! Let’s not have sex ALL NIGHT LONG.” “You’re on! It’s gonna be GREAT!” Normally, I really like my apartment. It’s gorgeous, and the second floor is rather handy. Except when the bed is upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs and the nausea makes me woozy and the stairs are [...]

Possibly a bad move

So, a few weeks ago, Nick & I picked up a pre-made, pop it in the oven for half an hour, shepherds pie. It looks nummy. Two days later, Nick popped it in the oven. I went to take it out, and … mold? Wtf? I checked the expiry date, it was still 3 days [...]
Stupid Pet Tricks

My copy of Control Unleashed just arrived, and I’ve been devouring it with great interest. It has an excellent program for dogs with, erm, issues (especially off leash, duh.) It’s designed for both trainers & dog owners who are working with dogs who have anxiety, and that’s RIGHT up my alley. The biggest thing I’ve [...]

“What’s your biggest fault?” “Well, I’m simply TOO awesome.” So Nick started his new contract today. Woo! It’s an open-ended “You tell us when you’re done” sort of thing, at the company he very much wants to be with, so … yay! He’s so excited about it he felt the need to wake me up [...]

BC people who plan to vote (and I really hope you plan to vote.) There’s a referendum attached, about the Single Transferable Vote. This explains it better than I could. STV for the win! Why do I support it? My own political preferences aside, let’s take a look at the 2001 election. The formerly popular [...]

I have a few basic self “rules”. Ok, rules aren’t really the right word, just “things that I do”. But I do them 99.999% of the time, so “rules” is a reasonably accurate word I suppose. “Habits” might be another. Anyway. Rule #1: Always, always have a book. This is the main reason I carry [...]

Sure, so I got home over 24 hours ago. It was a great trip, I had a blast, I walked a LOT, I found an awesome bookstore that I was extremely sad to leave, a fantastic toy store (and bought Pirate tape) which has EVERY SINGLE BOOK I remember from my childhood (Magic Mouse: Way [...]

She’s a bit of a ‘tard, an idiot savant, and a total pain in the neck… …but holy crap, I miss my puppy! Justice is staying with my dad, step-mother & brother this weekend while I’m off in Seattle. Since we’re leaving at stupid-o-clock tomorrow morning (shit, why am I still awake? Oh yeah, because [...]
Travel Planning Ahoy

I admit it, I’m a planner when I travel. Even if it’s only for two days. While a certain part of me likes having a willy nilly wander about in an unknown area without any particular destination, I also like having a list of “things that’d be neat” or at least “vague suggestions for when [...]
