Hot weather is the worst
If I ever laughed or mocked the individuals in Texas who suffered through the cold snap last winter, I apologize entirely because now I know what it's like to deal with weather you never normally encounter on the Pacific Northwest.
I don't like hot weather. Like, it's gross and humid. As soon as you shower, you just get sweaty and hot again. So ( Read more... ) -
Wander Darkly
I haven't seen any new movies in a long time. Theatres aren't really an option to consider and I don't have any streaming services (unless CBC Gem counts), so it's mostly whatever comes up on cable TV. And in terms of tv, everything I was invested in is over (forever in the case of Kim's Convenience or Frankie Drake Mysteries) or the season is ( Read more... ) -
Now it's the 21st day in the 21st week of the 21st year in the 21st century
Though arguably, a bit off I think with the 21st day thing, but whatever.
There was a huge thunderstorm late Tuesday evening. Right around midnight, with lots of lightning and thunder and rain. The lightning and thunder was happening like... almost every five minutes it felt like. Apparently, over 200 lightning strikes happened. I wish I got to ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts on a speculative script
I haven't watched a lot of movies (unless they're on tv) for a while. And without my old faithful laptop (the new one doesn't have a DVD drive and I didn't buy an external DVD drive or whatever they're called) and the DVD player was moved downstairs (my dad uses it all the time) or you know, going to the library or the movie theatre... I realized ( Read more... ) -
Palindrome Day 12/02/2021
Happy Lunar New Year!
Because I'm still avoiding going out as much as possible (I've only been going to the office once week, except this week when I reluctantly agreed to go in twice because the bosses were desperately trying to find people to help with the backlog while trying to pack everything to move to another office in the next 2 weeks and ( Read more... ) -
it’s the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century
The last few weeks have been very hectic and I'm already really worn out and frustrated with work. And I just... want to stop my work email inbox from running out of space. And to catch up on sleep.
I also bruised both my knees from falling on my way to work today, so they are now very purple.
Well, I guess for the 21 of 21 of 21... I was thinking ( Read more... ) -
"Life is full of pain. Let the pain sharpen you, but don’t hold on to it. Don’t be bitter."
All I know is this has been a very long year. January was colder (here) than usual (bad snowstorm), February had... Bong Joon-ho winning 4 Oscars, March abruptly became the longest confusing month of the year ("What a year this week has been," a co-worker emailed when everyone suddenly was told to telework if they could or otherwise stay at home ( Read more... ) -
33 things that have cheered me up
This whole year has been weird and scary as eff and I don't think I've been in a better place or worse place since June. I've also been catching and releasing spiders from my "office" at home pretty much at least once a week.
I'm still teleworking, but since my work assignment ended, I've been moved back to my previous position. It felt horribly ( Read more... ) -
Thunderstorms
I woke up just before 5:00 AM because of a huge BOOM. There was a half-awake part of me that that... "I guess it was thunder." But when I didn't hear the rain, I opened my eyes in the dark room a few times and considered... what if it was construction equipment falling? I closed my eyes and then the rain started, so yeah, it was the loudest ( Read more... ) -
even the fleeting things are worth their weight in sadness. Even a few words could mean something.
Welcome to another edition of February 29. I'm sure, someone out there, is enjoying the fact they can celebrate their birthday on their actual birthday, rather than on "the day after February 28th." I weirdly love leap days (and probably partly because of the related fascination with calendars thanks to a grade seven project).
And because I ( Read more... )
