too much wave of humanity!
There are days when, for no particular reason other than my own very real desire to be a hermit, I do not want to leave my house. This usually has to do with a day when I am even busier than normal. Today I have to open the store, work until 4:30 or so, schlep up to Leaside for a staff meeting at the clinic, leave early from that (which I'm quite ( Read more... ) -
onwards to... Guelph?
It's a quiet holiday Monday morning. Jordan stayed up much later than me last night, so I'm enjoying the morning sunshine, a paper, and a coffee on my little deck. Today is for bike riding and backyard-BBQ'ing! Jaq will be here in a few hours so we can do a ride around The Spit before it gets too crowded out there. Then we'll be off to the lovely ( Read more... ) -
Ipod envy and other needful things.
Last week my dad sent his me his Ipod so I could get it fixed at a tech place downtown. I think I have fallen in love with it. Until now i harbored a strange pride at NOT owning one, simply because they have become so ubiquitous.... but I think i may have to cross over to the dark side if for no other reason then to listen to CBC podcasts ALL DAY ( Read more... ) -
I'm Wearing Bertrand Russel's teapot.
For the most part the last week was busy and quite enjoyable. Despite putting up with a manic employer, I really did enjoy setting up our new shop. The space is bright and roomy, two things were were sorely lacking in our tiny old shop. We are going to be bringing in a bunch of great new yummies and products that we've all been looking forward to. ( Read more... ) -

it's 7:15am on Sunday morning and i'm sitting on my deck in a sweater with the kitties. this makes me very happy :) it smells like spring! although i do prefer the smell of sping outside the city, where tons of dog poop isn't melting in the parks and gutters and where piles cigarette butts arn't emerging from the snow banks at an alarming rate.

my lust for dangerous literature continues
I have been reading all kinds of books about climbing over the last few months. it all started with my fourth read through "Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance". Of course, most of the book is about a cross country motorcycle roadtrip, but does stray briefly into a fascination the main character has with hiking difficult and mountainous ( Read more... ) -

melancholy.
we're coming home from Costa Rica today and i wish it wasn't so. although spending this much time with my brother has proved quite exhausting, i still don't want to go back to my life. something needs to change. i had been looking forward to this trip for so long that going back now seems like a big disappointment. aside from family squabbles i had ( Read more... ) -
early morning solitude
it's early on sunday morning and slowly my family is waking up. i was up first. then elliot sauntered out of the hall closet. ten minutes later Karsa crawled off the bowl chair with his eyes still closed. it usually takes him a full two or three minutes to really wake up. now jordan is up too, singing in the shower.... Rufus Wainright if i'm not ( Read more... )
