So, I’m half-watching the premiere of Cashmere Mafia, which turns out to be an all right “chick” show.
In the pilot on tonight, there’s this moment when a very, very Waspy sorority kinda gal gets her first kiss from a woman. They’re both really successful business women in their mid- to late-30s. The waspy never-been-kissed gal [...]

A dusting of snow still falls, meaning havoc is being created throughout my region. As usual, I’ll leave well after the morning rush but have to expect it could take a while for my bus to show up, since we have magic transit here in Vancouver… it disappears whenever there’s snow.
Can I tell you how [...]

I’m broke off my ass, but bought a bottle of wine last weekend in my ignorant bliss, and opened it tonight because it’s the first work night I’ve been home before 8 since about, well, 2007. A big bowl of hearty (and cheap) lentil stew, some shaved parmesan broiled on a bit of baguette, and [...]

Americans have the day off today, but we Canadians don’t get a statutory holiday until Easter. This is why, if you visit Canada in February, we all seem so tired and bitchy. Just hand us a beer, and we’ll be fine.
I have to make a little list of things I’m going to achieve this week. [...]

It’s 10:32 on a Friday night and I’m drunk. Drunk, and alone. And happy about it. After this week, cocooning with the comfort of being completely alone and not having to misstep and crush someone’s soul with the bitterness I don’t think I have, but after a week like this, such a surprise discovery wouldn’t [...]

So, way off topic?
When you buy something like, oh, say, mayonnaise, and it’s been on the shelf for nine months, and it has an expiry down to the DAY… how are you supposed to take this seriously? Oh, it’s 16/01/08, so this is officially bad now. Like the molecules just look up at some cosmic [...]

Geez! Would someone open a window in here? I can barely breathe!
Oh… it’s my new jeans. It’s a wonder any blood’s circulating at all. Whew! They look great, though. And I’m going to lose weight, right? So. But yowzas. I’m not sure wearing these out for breakfast with new people is the wisest choice [...]

This is a difficult time of year for most people, I imagine. The media fills up with dieting and life-fixing advertising. It’s easy to believe you’re less of the person you should be, and I’m concerned that my kamikaze change-my-life monologuing of late might persuade others that their unhappiness means they should gut everything.
Not necessarily. [...]

HEY, world! It’s been several days since I last posted, and though I’ve not really got the time to share with you this morning, I’ll race through a quickie, because god knows I can’t leave you without time wastage for work on Monday, eh?
Welcome to week one of the Steff plan for total world domination… [...]

Behold: 2008! A mighty splendid thing of beauty! A brand-spankin’ new unmarred, sexy little year lying there all patiently awaiting us to sully it and fuck it up.

But… for now, a fantastic page waiting to be written, that’s the year before us.

Me, I’m batting a thousand so far. The inimitable GayBoy swung by to drop [...]
