Ugh, I've suddenly got a beast of a headache. Took a couple painkillers, which will hopefully kick in soon ( Read more... )

Tonight is the private party at O'Reilly's for the NAIA conference delegates. Wheee! There's gonna be live music, though I don't know who. Hopefully some good Irish/Newfie tunes, which is most likely since it is O'Reilly's!

Right. I have to go start getting dressed. Hope everyone is having a good day!

Cheers, Marsha

And there is just enough room in the driveway for one car to get in. Jared has been at the lab, and the man from downstairs had a fight with his wife this morning and took off for god-knows-where, so I was on my own to tackle the shovelling. It was actually almost fun for the first two hours... then it just got ugly for the next three. During the ( Read more... )

Whoa. We've got 35cm of snow, which is not so bad in itself. However, wind gusts are up to 110km/h. Last night I was afraid the roof would fly off the house, or my windows would break from all the shaking they were doing. This morning is no better. Everything is closed, and the buses are not running. Jared just went out to shovel a path through the ( Read more... )

Well, the storm has arrived. It's pretty nasty out there, and we're supposed to be getting even stronger winds. The power has kind of flickered in the last few minutes. It better not go out.. The battery in my laptop won't last too long. If it does go out, it better not do so until supper is cooked at the very least.

I'm sick of winter.

Whoa. Desmond better be wrong.... but I'm not so sure..... I'll be on pins and needles from now on.

Have you ever found a writer, or a poet in particular, who wrote as if he/she had somehow gotten into your very mind and heart and stolen the thoughts and feelings right out of you? That's how I feel when I read poems by Pablo Neruda. It's as if we were kindred spirits, though we never got to meet in this lifetime. This man writes and I'm shouting ( Read more... )

I just ate almost an entire bag of popcorn. And not the snack-size bag, either. Well, thank goodness it wasn't the buttery kind. And even more, thank goodness it wasn't Doritos. *thinks* "Mmmmmmm, nacho cheese goodness"

That's all I have to report. Time to get a big glass of water and some insulin.

Oh wait. I do need to vent about something:

Eden was chatting with Shox about her first impression of LA when she felt someone squeeze onto the stool on her other side. Dom smiled at her and leaned close. “What are you drinking?” he asked in a low voice, his breath tickling her ear so that goosebumps rose on the back of her neck.

“I’m afraid Shox here has already ordered me a drink,” she ( Read more... )

Hey all. I just got back from the MUN Cinema Series (they play a movie at the theatre every Thursday, one which may not be seen with the so-called 'popular' string of movies that regularly plays there) where I saw the movie For Your Consideration. What a hoot! And highly appropriate for this time of year - basically, making fun of Hollywood and the ( Read more... )
