So, I’m a horrible person. I was tired and closed my eyes for a few minutes earlier, and then fell asleep. Tragically, I overslept for my movie date-type thing and now there’s some guy sitting in some theatre fuming that I’m some thoughtless bitch that stood him up.
Whups. That sucks. It happens, but that sucks. [...]

We’re drinking mulled wine and watching A Christmas Story on Christmas day. :) “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!”
The funniest pics I’ve taken in a long time both were back-to-back on the same walk to work:

This Christmas comes with an interesting sensation. I have been having a silent conversation with myself since August, filled with promises that I’d give myself until Christmas to get my shit together and get myself into the headspace of being ready to take on the world in every area of my life.
Starting with the new [...]

Wow, am I ever in a shitty mood.
I actually got up feeling pretty good today. I got this rather toxic email from someone this morning, and it took me a bit to shake that off, but the person means nothing to me so I was able to do it. Something happened with someone else [...]

There’s ONE week until Christmas! ONE WEEK. Motherfucker! I don’t even have my TREE up yet, for god’s sake! My home? A disaster! My gifts? Not taken care of. AND I’m supposed to take a business meeting this week, etcetcetc.
I feel so pressured. Christmas, the time for giving? No, the time for mental breakdowns, dude!
Okay. [...]

I’m six hours away from the annual staff party at work, round eight for me. In years past we’ve rented a boat for drunkeness and tapas, had a great catered home party, had lobsters and oysters at the legendary Rodney’s Oyster House, visited classic Vancouver restaurants like Raincity Grill, Umberto’s Al Porto, and great places [...]

Welcome to my world. As I mentioned, there’s now a new series I plan to run on here. I’ve decided to call it The Evolution of the Single Girl.
I don’t really want to pigeon-hole it yet. I want to kind of see where it takes me. I’m not sure this is a first posting, but [...]

Has it really been five days since I updated? Doh, my bad.

I didn’t feel like writing yesterday because my keyboard got a wee bit broken. The D key’s tab broke off and now I have to see how much Apple’s gonna charge me to fix the laptop keyboard. Blah. The X key, too, but not [...]

This whole becoming-a-better-person thing is much more work than they advertise, you know. I mean, this is mop-the-brow and grunt-a-little calibre of grind, my friends. And, am I better? Oh, not yet. Not by a long shot.
Still the same old flawed little me.
My weight, even, is holding steady at 14 pounds lost. I’m in psychic [...]

Technology and new scientific methods are causing big rewrites to the numbers long associated with AIDS. America’s CDC had stated they saw some 40,000 new cases of infection every year.
Turns out, a new method of testing blood and, in essence, a way of “aging” infections present, means the folks in white coats at the CDC [...]

I’m glad you asked. It’s my Friday, actually.
Okay, before I get into the groaning about the incredibly weird number of things to go wrong today, I will preface this with the fact that I have managed to stay in reasonably good humour most of the day, except for the moment I broke down in tears [...]
