Yeah, I'm breaking my promise. Sue me, self. I probably should have taken better advantage of last week's cloudy, cool weather to get into major photo editing mode (and I'm going to resist ranting about my camera and how I suspect its diminishing returns are sucking all the joy out of my life), but instead I ended up baking like there was no ( Read more... )

Sweet potato fries, I always have too much to ramble about and never enough time to ramble. It prevents me from coming here a lot.

But I wanted to share this little nugget: someone up there has a hate-on for Vancouver at the moment. This heat wave is just . . . well, it's on par with anything K-town ever threw at us, except this time I don't have a ( Read more... )

Mother Nature and her mood swings, sheesh!

How . . . exactly HOW did it go from 13 degrees and rainy every day to 30 degrees and sunny every day? When did this happen? Overnight, that's when this happened. And even though I'm more comfortable in the 20 - 25 degree range, I'm not complaining ( . . . yet). My state is one of severe discombobulation, ( Read more... )

An actual, honest-to-goodness conversation I had with a co-worker today:

Him: I finally got around to seeing Rise of the Lycans  the other day.

Me: Really? I didn't know you were into that kind of stuff.

Him (a bit defensively): Well, you know, once in awhile . . . .

Me: So I assume it was a documentary?

Him (confused): No . . . .

Me: Really? Was it any ( Read more... )

Seriously.

I'm disappointed in my inability to post regularly in this blog, especially since I often think of witty things to write about when I'm out and about, but completely forget them when I get back home. Actually, that's not entirely true. I remember them when I get home, but can't be bothered to fire up the computer and blog them, so I write ( Read more... )

Sorry for the lapse. I'm totally going to blame the haikuery project for that. That thing is sucking up a lot more brain power than I thought it would (she wimped wimpily).

You know what's strange? Hearing gleeful and disastrous rumors about the media company you work for in the media. I imagine it's a lesser version of people who are up in a plane ( Read more... )

First thing's first: for anyone who cares (all none of you), I had to move my Haikuery du Jour 2009 project here.

Other things:

- One of the full-timers at work announced she's going on maternity leave at the end of May. I imagine her job will be posted some time in the next couple of weeks. If I apply, I'll probably get it, since I have the most ( Read more... )

I had a minor epiphany while walking up to my apartment today. I realized that aside from my running shoes and my hiking boots, I do not own shoes I could sprint in. I realize dress shoes/loafers/heels aren't really built for speed, but if I had to run towards or away from something really quickly, or if I got the notion to perform a spontaneous ( Read more... )

It's like a mobius strip of agony - Me, 4:05 pm

I was merely overstating the headache that is Life Under Rosa the Re-doer. Deja vu the first time feels pretty cool, but on the 100th time, it's rather like a neverending Tilt-A-Whirl after consuming cotton candy wrapped around a sizeable piece of fried kielbasa.

Or something.

Okay, riddle me this: out ( Read more... )
