This is a question asked of me a long, long time ago. I kept wondering, “Well, how do you trust?” Really. How? A reader asked that and I never knew what to say. Maybe I never really understood it myself. Shrug. I’m no guru. Just a chick with some time on her hands. So, here’s [...]

Sigh.
I’m sorry, folks. I’ve really had very little to say this past week or two. Writing is problematic, to say the least. I’m taking a few minutes out before work to share with you as I eat my breakfast, though, in hopes that I’ll be able to crack the nut and figure out what’s goin’ [...]

…or does Ryan Seacrest have an oddly tiny head?
Weird. He looks like he’s on something here. That, or all the fucking in closets has left him dehydrated.
Sorry, kids. Me no feeling the writing thing. It’s my mother’s birthday today. She’d have been 65, eligible for pension. My head is in a million places, and none [...]

So, being one of those 300+something-days-a-year scooter riders, it’s not really that often I opt for transit instead of taking my trusty scooter out into the world. (Think Vespa, not Razor.) Today, the weather was shit, it was rainy and windy, and I’d been drinking a little last night.
Decided to leave the scoot home and [...]

I’m having a very me-oriented weekend. I’m quite happily keeping to myself. Today’s a foodie’s feast. I made homemade bread (and am now under orders to make it for my friend) and I’m making homemade beef stock, which is very much a labour of love. Monday night is traditionally when GayBoy and I get together [...]

I hate Valentine’s day. Always have. I have this cool Valentine’s day card from my nephew, though, from three or four years ago. It’s got all the X-Men on it and it says “You’re X-citing!” It’s a prized possession and is on my fridge, along with my magnetic poetry heroin poem I wrote. Yeah, a [...]

I’m checking in on you, world.
It’s my first official week on the job and everything’s looking good so far. I’ve been kind of in a cosmic headspace the last few days — a weird mix of good, bad, and everything in between.
Tonight’s a night to stay in and get a grasp on life, and tomorrow’s [...]

I’m gonna try to write something at some point tonight but I’ve been having a bit of a braindead weekend. Oops.
In the meantime, I want to share something utterly sinful with you: my oven-”fried” chicken recipe. It’s one of those “glad I’m single so’s I don’t needs ta share” dishes. ;)
(The recipe’s on me other [...]

The master of soul’s winding his way through my bedroom as my fingers clack away under his soulful stylings. Sam Cooke’s A Change is Gonna Come is about the best way I knew to embrace this mood I’ve fallen into in the last few hours, so it’s bellowing its way into the breeze, playing on [...]

Found deep in the rubble of Italy’s northern city Mantova were the remains of a couple who’ve spent the last five millenium locked in a passionate embrace.
Look at how their legs are intertwined, and their eyes still locked on each other after all these thousands of years.
Writers and artisans everywhere will be lost in wondering [...]

Hey, my good peeples!
Got the all-good-to-go from the folks re: my interview for being the administrative chick at a children’s private art academy in one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the Lower Mainland (Greater Vancouver area). I start Friday.
And only nine days into unemployment, too. Ha. So, I rock. I’m going to celebrate by staying [...]
