Penny in a wishing well
I want to roll around in dog-eared covers and besiege my mind with enlightenment, flurries of creativity, and imaginative and poetic vocabulary.
For a poet I am not; nor a man with sharpened mind. -
Finally upgrading and catching up with the current generation
Blackberry Torch, Android, or iPhone 4? Discuss. I'm leaning towards the iPhone 4 because of browsing speed and ease of use, but I love the option of having a physical keyboard with the BB. (I have large fingers and touch screens aren't always user-friendly because of that ( Read more... ) -
The Secrets of Wakefulness
I am not entirely sure why, although I do have some theories, but it seems that during the work week I do not really start to become aware and awake until Wednesday. It is as if I begin to realize that I am supposed to be delivering a certain level of work, as I sometimes feel disappointed in what I provide for my classes on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Beast Magic
It feels good to be reading with greater regularity. I've decided to bring a book onto the bus with me every single day, and to force myself to read it on the way into work as a way of waking my mind up in the morning. Lately, I've been reading Robin Hobb's Fool's Errand, which is the first of a fantasy trilogy. I had read another trilogy of hers ( Read more... ) -
Pictures are forming
The Internet is a mind killer if you let it be one. I'm trying to get the creative juices flowing again, and hope that I will awaken something in myself soon, with continued trudging ahead. -
Something about a man and his wallet

Internet life
I think I should try to limit my online presence a bit. As of this post, I have accounts with Livejournal, Facebook, Vox, Blogger, Twitter, Flickr, and an old Myspace account that never gets touched anymore, but that is still there.
Weird that Vox is going to be closing down. It was one of my faves.

New city, new energy, new life
Je t'aime, Montreal. Let's keep the good vibes going. -
Is money needed for happiness?
Caught Date Night on Tuesday afternoon with Grace, and we both enjoyed it. Definitely not the greatest film ever, with plenty of character decisions that were somewhat infuriating, but the dialogue was nice and I appreciated the performances. Seemed like Tina Fey and Steve Carell just having a good time on screen ( Read more... ) -
*crickets*
Well, there are no excuses now. I officially do not have a regular guaranteed job, with last night having been my last evening class at the Newcomer Centre of Peel. I must now shift my energy to looking for a job in Montreal. While I have looked in the past, I haven't been on top of it as much as I could be recently. Time to knock on some doors and ( Read more... )
