So, Christmas? Yeah, that happened. It’s been a supremely awesome month. I sold a metric shit ton of soap at Blim on the 18th, which was a great re-introduction to the fun of making All The Soap Ever. I also sold a ton of soap to friends & family, who have given me wonderful feedback. [...]

Back in the day, I worked for Telus. I started in April 2001, and was caught in the mass layoffs of September 2002 with 6500 other happy little Telus employees. They paid me a great deal of severance to go away, especially considering that I had only worked there for a year and a half… [...]

So that whole iPhone 4S thing was announced a while ago, and I looked at it and thought “Well, that looks nice, but my phone is only a little over a year old.” But through the magic of financial trickery and economics and selling our old phones, Dan figured out a way that he could [...]

You know, I would write more blog posts if I actually sat at my computer more. So anyway. It’s Thanksgiving, and I have a lot to be thankful for, so I’m going to go over it. The funny thing is, I can’t help but cringe a bit when I read last years Thanksgiving post, what [...]

It occurs to me that the title to this post is slightly inaccurate, since I don’t actually know when moving day is. But, it’s sometime in the next couple of weeks. It better be, since I have to be out of here for August 1. So I’m moving in with Dan, which is pretty awesome. [...]

I’m as surprised as anyone, quite frankly. But life is going ridiculously well, and I’m enjoying the bejesus out of it. So, that whole breakup thing: One of the things that I was most worried about (and so were some people who talked to me about it) was that my self esteem was going to [...]

So I was recently convinced to try out archery. I’ve had a vague interest in the concept for a while, but SCA-wise, always had other things to focus on. But, been chatting with a friend who’s an excellent archer who convinced me to try it out. I tagged along to fight practice tonight, strapped on [...]

Taking a page from Kimli’s book (or maybe Kimli’s bag? I dunno.) I present to you… what’s in my bag: Including the bag itself, a canvas bag I bought 2 or 3 years ago from the Who Killed Amanda Palmer tour. I loves it. So much. It also contains: My kindle, in a neoprene case. [...]

January 24th’ll be 3 months single. So, lots has changed since then. I’ve been in my new apartment for more than 2 months now. I’ve gotten quite settled into my job. I’ve made some ridiculously fun new friends. I’ve embarked on some fun adventures, both solo and with other people. I’ve taken lots of photos, [...]
Trials & tribulations of living alone

So this is the first time I’ve lived alone since I was … 21 or 22. I’ve always had roommates, and preferred it that way. But, this time around, I decided to try it out and be just me & the dog (actually, this was my intention just shy of three years ago as well, [...]
