So, this morning I took Molly to the vet, and then I dropped her off and had a coffee and read through the last of my V for Vendetta comics (fyi - totally worth $100). Then I got a call from my studio landlord asking if I was up for some work, so I drove down to the Ranchmen's club to decorate it for some hoity toity gala night thing. Let me just ( Read more... )

My shoulders ache, but I'm in a brilliantly cheerful mood - there was loud singing and car dancing on my way home. I suspect it has something to do with exhaustion and insomnia, but hey, a good mood is a good mood. I haven't heard from Crave yet, which makes me sad because I had forgotten how much I like being nocturnal. I usually get home from the ( Read more... )

Growing up, I assumed (and believed wholeheartedly) that love between friends was just as unconditional as love between family members. Sadly, this turned out to be one of the biggest learning curves I banged up against. Friendship is not unconditional, it is a tenuous balance of interactions, a delicate matrix that has to be constantly worked on ( Read more... )

 I think that, if someone ever wanted to organize an anti-nudity-phobia protest march, they should call it "Bare with Us."

 I went to 7-11 to pick up some milk for my daily regimen of caffeine this morning. My hair was standing on end at parts, flattened down in others, and I wondered if anyone at the store was going to give me weird looks. I took my 4L jug up to the counter and the woman behind the desk said, "Let me ask you something." I held my breath but all she ( Read more... )

Happy Christmas everyone, I would like to share one of the many special gifts I received this Christmas with you:

A small i.d. holder that attaches to your shoe in case you die in the outdoors and your corpse is unrecognizable.

No, really. My grandma bought that for me. Also, a goat from World Vision.

 What motivates you to get things done?

 I just got back from an outing where  I visited my best friend from junior high who is living in Vancouver. It was hard, as it always is when I'm forced to consider change, and it was made weird by seeing three girls that I used to go to school with in Québec, one being a rich daddy's girl from Toronto who was my pseudo-nemesis. I think it was the ( Read more... )

I have four hours to "sleep" before getting up for my flight, but I know that if I don't take my sleeping pills it won't happen, but if I do take them, I will sleep through the alarm, so I'm just going to read comics and rest. Tomorrow I will be in Toronto. I hope to write a lot while I'm there ( Read more... )

I was driving today and was thinking about the long, plastic signs that people hang off of bridges (tie to the railings), and I had another Agent of Karma idea (the role of Agent, nothing to do with my business). I'm going to see how much it would cost to make a simple banner that simply says, "You Are Beautiful,"  à la anonymous collective ( ( Read more... )
