So, I anticipated most of the annoyances that have come to pass. Puppy pee, whining, sharp puppy teeth, night time crying, no ability to do anything for more than half an hour at a time, early mornings, and so on. And even anticipated a few that haven’t come to pass — dog spats, attempting to [...]

So, I’ve got this puppy…

Well, not my puppy obviously, but since my parents are off to Hawaii… I have a puppy! Jasper’s staying with me until next Sunday, so I have a week of whining, pooping, peeing, nibbling, jumping, biting, and barking. Luckily it’s packaged up into an extremely adorable little ball of fluff, so despite being a bit [...]

So, the other day I’m on the bus and we’re pulling into Broadway Skytrain station when a bang is heard — possibly a tire blowing, or a car backfiring… or, a gunshot. For the non-Vancouverites, we had a gang war last year that involved a rather high number of drive-by or otherwise “public” shootings, in [...]

This morning, I got an email from my mother letting me know that there was a power outage, and the two bus routes that run by my place were heavily delayed. Such are the benefits of having parents who work in T-Comm. So, Nick was going to drive in to work, and drop me off [...]
Fashionista.

Yeah, okay, so “fashionista” is the last thing anyone would ever refer to me as. But, I got some super awesome clothes from my ever so awesome Cousin Linda for Christmas, and the pants were too big, so I had to go shopping today. I was in a bit of a tizzy as the stores [...]

Me: I wish more dog parks around here were fenced. Nick: Why? Me: Well, Justice has good recall, and an even better remote sit, but I’m always a little worried that she’ll spot a squirrel and bolt. Nick: Just like Jesus! Me: …Jesus never bolted after a squirrel. Nick: Seems like the same thing to [...]
Dear Fellow Bus Riders

Dear Fellow Bus Riders; 1. When we arrive at a popular bus stop, such as a skytrain station, a transfer point, or the end of the line, there is no need to shove your way to the door. It’s okay — at least half the bus is getting off here. You won’t win a prize [...]
Bullet Points

I like bullet points because today, they’re named appropriately because I want to shoot things. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Or more to the point, shoved mostly OFF the bed, because the dog decided that where I sleep is a perfectly acceptable place to sleep. I agree, which [...]

Sweet bleeding jesus, the airport is going to be a MOBSCENE. I’ve already told him that regrettably, I will not be able [...]

Nick & I geared up & headed off to Sin City tonight. The above was my outfit. You can’t see it, but my hair is tied back in a fairly long (for me) braid. My god, I actually have hair! Long enough to make a reasonable braid! How did THAT happen? Also not shown: My [...]
