Okay, okay, I know this doesn’t count. But Nick has been a supremely awesome co-dog-parent with me for the last two years, and he deserves some props for that. There is no Puppy-Parent-Day, and so I’m co-opting Father’s Day a little. As you can see, she clearly worships him. And he’s pretty fond of her [...]

I have this awesome shark towel, courtesy of the Marmot for Christmas last year. I can’t find a picture of it, but imagine a hooded towel, like what people often make for babies. Now imagine it adult-sized. Now put a shark fin and eyes and teeth on it. Voila. Shark towel. I love it, because [...]
Year 2: Complete

Strange, I’m not much of one for anniversaries, and yet this is one that I keep remembering. And it’s not really much of an anniversary, as it’s more the anniversary of … first date? first indication of mutual interest? I dunno. I know that we watched a couple of movies at his place, and I [...]

Whatdya mean Valentines Day was 2 weeks ago? Lies. It was yesterday. Due to Nick being out of town, we decided to reschedule Valentine’s Day until yesterday: When I had purchased 2 tickets to see Jonathan Coulton perform at the Rio. So. Awesome. First, we got to experience Paul & Storm, and “experience” is surely [...]

Regardless, I remain absolutely head over heels in love with that fabulous boy that I share my life with, and I’m so, SO happy that he’s on a plane right this second [...]

I have to do a quick shoutout (look at me, using the kids lingo) to my extraordinary boyfriend. In the last few days, Nick has: – been bitten on the lip – been peed on by a puppy – been woken up in the middle of the night by pathetic cries (er, Jasper, not me) [...]

Last night, Nick & I took Justice for a walk up Trinity Street to look at the christmas light displays and argued about whether or not our house is kid-friendly. I don’t even know who I am anymore.
Fail.

Fuck. That about sums it up. This evening is totally full of fail. So, Monday night is my study night. Good thing, as I have a midterm on Thursday, so my goal was to study (with short 10-15 minute breaks every hour) pretty much from the moment I got home (well, I let myself have [...]
An Ikea Weekend

I love Ikea. I admit it. The Ikea catalogue is like porn to me. So when Nick suggested we swing by Ikea on Sunday, I was only too eager to agree. A few weeks ago, we had a mild… collapse. One of the shelves above our washer & dryer bit it, and tried to kill [...]
