Quickie: Skirts!

I may be many things, but a girlie girl I’m not. Skirts are not something I’ve worn for probably a decade, as I grew up going to Catholic school and wore kilts & skirts all my life until college.
But today I’ve had that “FUCK, I NEED NEW CLOTHES!” moment as I was searching through my [...]

A Reality Check About Marriage

I have a couple blogs. One I use more for writing about writing and about my daily life. One of the things those readers know is that I suffered writer’s block for about six years. One of the little tricks I developed during that lengthy block as a tool for writing better was my “idea [...]

Found on the Internet: Food for Thought

I think this image says a lot. I presently know someone who’s allowing a not-so-significant other govern their life choices. Anyone on the outside can see it’s a relationship that shouldn’t last; if it does, it will cause considerable harm to the one I know. But how much can you say to someone that doesn’t [...]

Do We Ever Really Escape High School/College?

It only took me forever, but I’ve finally joined Facebook. I was avoiding it. MySpace sucks, imho, but I finally thought I’d give Facebook a go after I read a couple interesting news stories on it. Me likey.
But it’s kind of troubling. So troubling I’m having trouble popping a good metaphor. Ooh, troubling. You don’t [...]

Pucker Up, Sweetcakes

So, there I was, doing the “judging self” routine in front of the mirror, when I suddenly noticed that my lips are looking nicer than they have in a long time. Fuller, softer, smoother. All I can think is, boy, these Omega-3 supplements I’ve been taking ROCK. Probably the increase in nuts & grains in [...]

A Link, and An Update

Tired of looking for the perfect significant other? Go make ‘em! Here’s a link where you can design the face of your dreams.
It’s been a long couple of weeks… I’ve been waiting on my job review and all that. Finally, I got a small raise (brought up that I wanted more and have been promised [...]

Found on the Internet: "Life"

I liked this.

Grateful

I officially declare it to be The Verge of Summer here in Vancouver. This morning at 6:14 am it was warm enough to stand barefoot on my patio, staring at my new plantlings, and have my feet be toasty in the sun.
In short, enter bliss.
And I’m lucky enough to have a nice bike and a [...]

Clip of the Day — The Gay Way!

Now your gay child won’t cost you a dime!
Thank you, Gayboy, for sharing. Here you go — a great video on “Coming Out Insurance”.
“Oh, we’re not homophobic. They’re just so expensive!”

Embracing the Loser Within

In honour of the rain-filled long weekend, I’ve been having a bit of a behaving badly bender: booze, bad food, and excessive slothiness.
It’s been awesome. Now it’s Monday and I’m shocking my system by watching Supersize Me with my breakfast. All of a sudden having garlic cheesebread as the basic staple of my meals for [...]

Does It Feel Like This for You, Too?

I updated my oneline dating profile. As almost a wilfull act of defiance a couple months back, I stripped it to one of those basic “I Like Stuff, Do You Like Stuff?” just-the-facts type profiles. But writing profiles is something I do very well, so to pull the plug and take a bore myself down [...]

brilliant.

Praise Jesus! The Red Tide Cometh!

I’ve repeatedly ranted and raged about the stupidity behind the marketing “masterminds” at Always, who persist in making pull-off adhesive tape on their “wings” that reads “Have a happy period!”
For the first time ever, they may just be onto something! The murderous rage I’ve been feeling in the last few days has finally gone away [...]

Testing?

(My blog’s acting up… bear with me. Sigh. Steff will ride again Tuesday night, mehopes!)

Inspiration injection? Anybody? Anybody?

It’s so weird how little I feel inspired these days. I keep waiting for it to hit me, but it doesn’t. Not really. Not often.
I’m beginning to wonder if I’ve gotten slack with it. I used to be great at forcing myself to go write whenever even the littlest twinge of intrigute would hit me. [...]

Stupid Is As Stupid Does: A Tale of Biking Madness

Okay, I’m not a TOTAL pussy, all right? So I’m a fairweather cyclist. So what? I like sunshine and bliss. Sue me.
I will have you know that had I not already ridden my bicycle to work this morning, there’s no fucking WAY I would’ve gone for a leisurely ride in this evening’s fare — and [...]

At A Bit of a Loss

Hey, guys. I’ve been a bit at a loss for the last few days. Today I take my game up another notch and try cycling all the way to work in the morning. Before now I’ve been busing in the AM and biking my way home after work. Last Friday, though, I managed to cycle [...]

Curiouser & Curiouser… the Boxing?

Yeah, okay. If you want to hear the whole sordid tale, I told it on my other blog. Click here.
No, really, read it! It’s pretty good.
And I shit you not, even my little finger hurts. Owie.
I’ll write later this week. I mean, geez, my finger hurts! Never mind my boobs! Holy shit, who knew breasts [...]

It’s B-Day!

Tonight I box! Tres cool. And my friend’s all pissed off ‘cos of a catastrophic tax problem that could be the result of malpractice, so she’s uber-charged to get into this. Great! Let’s vent!
I’ve just purged my MSN contacts list. 80% of the names are now gone. Oddly therapeutic, that!
Have a great Tuesday, peoples!
