So, every now and then I get the urge for some retail therapy. Today was one of those days. However, unlike my younger, more materialistic years, I no longer enjoy buying useless shit that end up on a shelf or at the bottom of my closet. I still don’t have much interest in clothes. I [...]

Tournament Weekend
June 14th, 2010
6 Comments
So, it’s summer (well, basically) and this means… the SCA season has begun. This weekend was Coronet, the tournament to choose the next Prince & Princess of Tir Righ (read: most of BC & a bit of Northern Washington), and at a mere 6 hour drive away, we simply had to attend. What? I’d make [...]
Tubal Litigation
May 20th, 2010

So, tubal ligation. Last night, there was a twitter-discussion on the concept, and how in BC it’s impossible to get one under 30-35 if you don’t have kids or don’t have a serious medical condition that could impact your child raising/pregnancy capabilities. I’ve asked my doctor for a tubal for years between 22 & now [...]
Last minute reminder, then sleep!

Too exhausted to talk about Jeremy & Jeanette’s wedding, except to say: Fucking epic. Loved it. Wish I hadn’t had to leave so early, but responsibility calls. Speaking of said responsibility: Come visit me at the HugABull Fundraising Flea Market tomorrow! 15% of my proceeds go directly to helping these dogs (and more!) It’s a [...]
How have I never been here before?
May 13th, 2010

On Tuesday, a few coworkers & I went for a walk up Commercial Drive (I work near the skytrain station) to get some artery clogging, delicious deep fried yummyness in the form of… Belgian Fries. And holy crap on toast. Sure, I think I shortened my lifespan by about 3 years just by stepping into [...]
Reminder: Hug-A-Bull Fundraiser on Sunday

Don’t forget to come visit me (and much more!) on Sunday, May 16th at the HugABull Flea Market Fundraiser at Dizine Canine Training Centre in East Vancouver! I will have space invader soaps. And brain soaps. And pirate soaps. And proper non-silly soaps, too! And if I manage to get a free hour between now [...]
Happy Mother’s Day

No Comments
If I’ve learned anything from boingboing, the theme for mothers day is often posting pictures of ones mother with them as a baby, because you’ve come a long way baby, right? Or something like that. Turns out, I don’t have a lot of pictures of me & mom together, and any that are more than [...]
How the Real World works

About a year ago, a family member referred someone he knew to me to do a website for him. So, we agreed on a price, I made the site. I didn’t insist on a paper contract, but did most of the negotiating via email as I like to have a written record of such things. [...]
Feeling Canadian
March 24th, 2010

It’s the Canadian in me I’m sure, but I just can’t fathom how affordable health insurance that will cover everybody is a bad thing. I’m a 30 yr old, fit, reasonably healthy woman who’s never been hospitalized for more than a couple of hours. I got my hands on the “reasons for rejection” from a [...]
Olympic Fever: Needs More Cowbell
February 19th, 2010
6 Comments
I do not have olympic fever. And that’s okay. I have the occasional “jesus fucking christ on toast” fit of rage, but mostly I’m just apathetic toward the whole thing. My commute is a big bungled, especially since I like to ride into town with Nick, and hop the skytrain back. This usually adds 5-10 [...]
