I’m giddy! I’m leaving in mere minutes to go camping on one of BC’s Gulf Islands. Sand, smoke, and sea. All good!
I haven’t been camping in 10 or 12 years, and it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long while. Yay Steff.
Anyhow. I’ll be back Saturday night and will spin a tale for all [...]

Last November, I was in a difficult place. My dad was, for all we knew, dying in the hospital and nothing in my life was certain. I got the news about my father right after running a Craigslist personals ad, and I was going to just turf all the respective “applicants” when I thought it [...]

I’m having a good day. It’s the first of ten days off. I got drunk last night with GayBoy. We embraced youth and went for a run to the candy store– errrrr, I mean gas station. I laughed as we left the apartment, me having just grabbed a $20 bill to cover our expenditures, and [...]

Welcome to autumn, Vancouver style. Bah. We’ve had a pretty mixed bag summer here on the Weird Coast. Fortunately a heat wave is rumoured for next week, and that’s the start of my time off.

I’m sick with a nasty headcold this morning and can’t call in sick to work for a few reasons, so I’m being a trouper and heading in anyhow. There I was, getting my makeup ready to put on, but [...]

After work tonight I wandered to the local market to search out the Asian bitsies I needed to pull off making a stir-fry dinner for a friend. There, I spotted a fellow I know from my neighbourhood liquor store (here in BC we have a government branch that sells us booze in their strictly-booze shops… [...]

I’m gonna post a number of Pride photos in the coming days. Yours truly was a marshall at the parade yesterday, so I was able to get great photos in the Thick of it All as I got to boss around innocent bystanders and collect money for the society.
Here are a few of them with [...]

Ever noticed how every summer seems to break into Armageddon of late? Those ridiculous born-again Christians might be onto something after all. Maybe it IS the end of the world after all. Run for high ground, people! Armageddon’s a-comin!*
