So I'm feeling very convicted by the teaming heaps of sin in my life. The sensual and profane images I allow into my home via the television, internet, and sometimes... even in my own heart and mind!! This conviction has been shot through space like an arrow from Michelle Duggar's (Arkansas Young Mother of the Year 2004)heart straight to mine. ( Read more... )

1. Just got back from a nice time in Sault Ste. Marie. Darren was sicky so we didn't do too much, but there were many hot tubs, and glasses of wine, and times with the glorious Tiffany. Glorious times. Also, last night in town with Tiffy, Katie-Bejeanie, and her brother and his gang of miscreants (just kidding you guys are great) was a definite ( Read more... )

I've sent my thesis off once again, even though I've been over it soooo many times I'm still petrified that there are stupid errors and typos and that Sharon is going to hate it. I'm guessing thats natural for all but the megalomaniacal ( Read more... )

Last night when Dar and I got back to OUR :) home after dinner and laundry at his parents' house, Henry was sneezing very frequently. She got right into bed with us and sneezed and snuggled all night long. Today she's been trying to get in my lap despite the laptop in the way and has settled for the couch beside me sleeping, and sneezing some ( Read more... )

I have been sitting in a plastic "adirondack" chair, with my feet propped up on a cat house (or alternately placing my laptop there while hunching over to type) since friday afternoon. Around me, a print copy of my thesis and a bunch of books, tissues, a hammer, moving boxes, dishes, scarves, pens, beer caps, are strewn in an orbit of confusion. ( Read more... )

I've been spending inordinate amounts of time alone. At my desk, sipping coffee or water (peeing constantly I might add), listening to CBC radio 3 (as it is the best ambient sound to write to), and dealing with my hillariously neurotic cat. How dull my life would be without Henry. Having a normal, always nice cat would certainly be a veritable ( Read more... )

Its 10 to 7 on a sunday morning and I'm up because I just forced myself to eat, despite a pronounced lack of hunger, a large bowl of quick oats and blueberries... well there is still some there and I think I should probably finish it but I feel like I have a giant brick in my stomach. This is all so that, in a bout an hour and half, I can go run ( Read more... )

So Momsy and Dadsy adopted two cats from the humane society a couple of weeks ago named Charlie and Reggie. They are not litter mates but they have similar looks and get along like gangbusters. My parents, however, decided to change "Charlie"'s name. He is missing most of one ear, and now sports the following moniker: Virtue. I'm sure you can ( Read more... )

Well I'm sitting on the couch with the laptop hoping that I will accomplish some ever rare "evening" work on my thesis. Up until now I've been treating evening's and weekend's as sacred impenetrable virgins that the thesis was loath to taint. And yet... here I am. I guess its counter-productive that Law and Order CI is on in the back ground ( Read more... )
