If you needed more evidence that I’m slightly deranged, good news! Here’s some. So, a few months ago I found this interesting little jars of seed beads at the dollar store. The beads are always useful, but I was much more fascinated by the little jars. They’re quite tiny, about an inch high at most, [...]

Toothy
Good news. In response to the question I posed to myself regarding how much this stupid tooth was going to cost me, the answer remains: $20 for the initial fix. Good. It’s annoying enough to have to miss work to get it fixed, I’d rather not have to keep paying out of pocket for it. [...]
Adventure! Sunday
So a few days ago, Nick asked me if I was free on Sunday. I was, so he asked me to set it aside. Okay then. I’m starting to learn when to simply shut up and let things be, so I added “Nick Day” to my calendar, and off we go. He accidentally let slip [...]
So excited!
I just got my first Kiva repayment. I now have $1.86 I can re-lend. SO EXCITED!
Taking a Toll
So, I haven’t been doing terribly well lately, and I have a bit of a chicken & egg thing going on. I’m not sure if it’s the not-great stuff going on causing me to feel this way, or if me feeling this way is causing the not-great stuff going on. More than likely, it’s a [...]
Candlelight is my forte
So last night’s candlelight vigil for the MAP van was awesome. I left my Warcraft raid early (insert obligatory nerd joke here) so I could head over to the marmot’s place first, before we all headed down to Hastings & Gore together with a couple of lanterns and a bunch of my beeswax candles. I [...]
Bras are stupid
So a friend on LJ has been talking about bras lately, and the complete lack of a consistent system for measuring for them. I’ll say. She found a variety of websites that try to tell you your bra size. Dear World: THIS is why women & bras have such a lousy relationship. Hell, I basically [...]
Proving my point
Tonight, I’m going to go Stand for the Van. I’ll be going with the marmot & crew hanging out at Gore & Hastings with a bunch of lanterns and some of my delicious beeswax candles. I was originally thinking that since one of the recommended locations is a mere 2 blocks from my place, it [...]
Stand for the Van
A topic dear to my heart. The Mobile Access Project is a van run by WISH and PACE that drives around the streets & back alleys of Vancouver between 10:30pm & 5:30am, providing support in the way of refreshments, condoms, needles, information and protection to survival sex workers. Funding’s been cut, and so the van [...]
Do I have to start budgeting $20/m for “fixing tooth”?
So, you may recall that I chipped my tooth last month, while engaged in the highly dangerous sport of … sitting on the couch reading. Turns out, I’m a superstar, and … oops, I did it again. Fuck. Well, I didn’t re-chip it, I just apparently knocked the fix out, so I’m back to having [...]
