cute
Me: How do I look? Him: Cute! Me: Excellent. Just what every girl wants to hear. Him: Also that they’re special and unique and beautiful and you’ve never met any woman like them. They all want to hear that, too. Me: You’re lucky I like you. Him: I know. Only somebody as unique as you [...]
nature!
We live five blocks from Queen Elizabeth Park, so tonight we took a stroll up there. It was lovely. I had no idea there was such an incredible view from the top of the hill. Also, did you know that there’s a triodetic dome stuffed full of exotic birds and flowers and all sorts of [...]
third season
Something I noticed awhile ago I decided recently to call “the 3rd-season curse.” Third-season curse: When a male star gets a regular role on TV, they put on weight in the third season. For example: David Boreanz on Angel Nicolas Brendon on Buffy the Vampire Slayer Jonathan Frakes on Star Trek: The Next Generation Matthew [...]
early afternoon
A friend recently asked me how I named my business. Well. So. The name I ended up with? Was not the name I wanted. Domain squatters are assholes. The quest: I needed a name to make me sound, you know, business-ey; I didn’t want something cutsey or punny, or especially nerdy. It had to be [...]
moving
Hey, I moved in April. To BC! Never did write a post about it. The less said the better, really: moving is a miserable and expensive experience that, frankly, sucks. Ugh. However, I wanted to tell the Internet so that it knows how it is out there, for all those people contemplating a cross-Canada move. [...]

There’s elevating concern about our “sedentary society,” the fact that we spend all day sitting and all evening sitting too, and why this is bad for our hormones and circulatory systems. Heck, just yesterday, the CBC ran a story about [...]
Recycling
A while ago we took an ass-load – well, an Accent-load – of boxen back to the recycling depot. There must have been 50 flattened boxes, all told, and I took great delight in leaping around the foyer where they had been piled, exclaiming about the amount of space now available in the entryway, space [...]
crafty
As we’re settling into the new place, there are lots of things we need. Bookshelves. More bookshelves. Art. But art is expensive. And we’re kind of broke. So I decided to try something I don’t usually do: I made a thing. With my hands and a glue gun! And only got minor second-degree burns! Friends tell [...]
moving
It’s been an eventful week, Reader. There was an awesome get-together on Friday night, that included card-games about being a bean farmer. It was actually really fun – and agricultural! Also, there was some fabulous chili and I met some very fun people, with some great tattoos. But the big doings were back a few [...]
