Reckoning: Redux

Let’s talk about that big elephant there in the corner.
It’s a sex blog and I never write about sex. Not anymore. It would help if I was getting laid.
But I’m not. And haven’t been for a year. I have totally not had it in me to get involved. Oh, and let me count the reasons [...]

Right Outta Left Field: Bumper Stickers

Well, I’ve lived to tell, people. Yes, indeedy. I’m officially on a four-day weekend after struggling through another week of work sick off (on, rather) my ass.
But the important thing is that I’m enjoying work, and that the job, which historically has been very hard on my neck, shoulders, and back, hasn’t bothered me at [...]

Snippets: Postings for the ADHD Out There

So, I don’t want to get into anything deep, but here are the snippets flashing through my mind at this late hour.
(I have written… I will not edit. I am sick in the head. Go easy on me. I should edit. Considering I’d overlooked “this lat hour” until this late minute, I should edit. But [...]

The Morning Of: A Reckoning or Something

Today I go back to my old job.
I worked there for about 6 and a bit years, and I’ve “returned” now a couple of times. This morning I have that same dread I’ve had at other times, but it’s tempered with more self-knowledge and understanding of the Steff Cosmoverse and how to navigate it, y’know?
The [...]

I Write, Therefore I Am

Well, tomorrow I begin anew at my old job, where I spent the better part of six years making television and film more watchable and enjoyable for those with hearing disabilities. I’m quite looking forward to it. It’ll be the best thing to ever happen to my writing.
I’ve felt rather literarily blocked for some time [...]

AND WE’RE BACK! YAY!

I’m SO FUCKING HAPPY!
My blog’s been unable to post anything new for three days thanks to some invisible thing preventing my shtoopid HAAAAAAAAALP! emails from getting to the support guys on my hosting co, who installed new servers and changed the site paths without telling lowly blogging peons like myself.
BUT it’s fixed now! So, the [...]

Female Circumcision

Work’s a bitch, kids. Long days, long days. Tomorrow, however, a short one, then beers, then a concert, then apertifs, then getting to know the local transit. Then Stage Anew in my life officially kicks off with a three-day weekend. Colour me giddy.
But I wanted to pop by because I just found this article to [...]

Duh.

So, I own an iBOOK I’ve had collecting dust for a while now.
Not no more! Plugged the wench in last night and now I have stable internet again. Still gonna fix the PC but the iBOOK will officially be my surfing friend from now on. Wait’ll I get that airport card I’ve been planning on. [...]

I’ll Say It Slower, If That Helps

Okay, people, BEAR WITH ME a few days! My computer is STILL being consumed by shit. After 10 hours of muddling through my boggish registry and fucking around with my computer, my Computer Geek friend’s words were “Well, keep doing what yer doing” and then the next plan is for me to throw about $200 [...]

Of Trojans and Romans

I had a computer geekette friend of mine come and CSI the ass outta my computer. Her report? “Wow, this is one of the most impressive infestations I’ve seen in a while.”
Her remedy? “Let’s wipe Windows. Install a new hard drive. Keep Windows on C. Gut it. Put everything else on D.”
I’m gonna spend $175 [...]

Why, is this a Friday I see before me?

I feel like that old woman in The Princess Bride who shouts down the princess bride in the centre of the square. Boo! BOOOOO! Hiss! That’s the story of me and my computer.
I’ve barely had the motherfucker on. I log on to Facebook or any other place that uses lots of cookies and shit, and [...]

EXPOSED: The Sordid Story of Why I Quit My Job

I quit my job. I’ve quit it for several reasons, but this is the one that really rocked my boat and inspired me to leave.
Towards the middle of July, my boss called me upstairs for a quiet chat. It turns out she had discovered my secret double-agent identity, that of a sometimes-sex blogger. She didn’t [...]

A Random Deep Post Lacking in Linear Approach

If I hadn’t been drinking on a relatively empty stomache, I doubt I would have posted this. But booze makes me ballsy, so you can only imagine how cocky I feel after eating lunch at 4 and nothing since… but the three glasses of wine certainly help. So, hi. I’m Steff, I blog, and let’s [...]

i saw the sign, just opened up my eyes and…

[ed. note: this first appeared on my original-and-still-ticking first blog a couple days ago but given that my traffic there is, like, 12 or something, i thought i'd double my mileage and share here. two-fer!]
so, i’m a big fan of “signs”, eh? i like to look for symbolism in the itty-bitty happenings of this meagre [...]

I am returning to the way things were Back in the Day, and will now answer ALL comments. I’m working OT all week this week, far more than I’d expected, but promise that I shall tell you all the dirt you deserve on Saturday. Meanwhile, see my comment in the below post if you need [...]

Call Me Needy, Call Me Crazy, Just Call Me!

So, after a few postings in one fell swoop, I’ve had barely any comments, but that don’t faze me a bit. I’m not posting my big bombshell posting telling you why I’ve quit my job until I get some people commenting and saying hi because that’s my prerogative. :) Besides, you have enough to read.
But [...]

And Then There Were Crabs

I’m not exactly Little Miss Adventure, but if I was to tell you the tale of my life you’d probably mistake me for exactly that – a year in the Yukon, thrown from a horse, a near-fatal scooter (motorbike) accident, camping all my formative years, been to Alaska and Mexico and back again…
…truth be [...]

Thus the Tease Begins…

Labour Day weekend is a very strange time of year for me. Historically, some pretty Big Fucking Deals have come down on the last real weekend of summer. I’ve nearly died twice, for instance. So, you know, I’m sort of emphasizing the word “big” there. It’s like the dog days of summer trip some biological [...]

We came. We saw. We camped.

We left early.
I’m nursing a hell of a sun-burnt face. My sneakers may never be the same again. There’s a story there, and you’ll hear it later.
I return to work Tuesday and have already written a pretty bombshell posting for Tuesday night. I ain’t even risking a teaser on that one. Just get your asses [...]
