My friend drjon  posted on his lj saying that the BBC allegedly believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books on the following list. I do a LOT of reading, and a lot of these books are on my "to read" list.

How do your reading habits stack up? [bold those books you've read in their entirety, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish ( Read more... )

I just wanted to go to the mall (which is literally a 15 minute walk up my street) to buy a pair of jeans, maybe two. My two favourite pairs are beginning to wear out. At 6:37 I left my house to stand at the bus stop that is virtually next door. I then stood there for a fucking HALF HOUR in weather that feels like -12C.

I moved to my temporary apartment in Toronto last Friday, found my real apartment last Saturday, started my job last Wednesday and moved into my real apartment on Sunday. In case you're wondering what the apartment looks like, there are "pre-move in" pictures on facebook, and "I've moved in" photos will be up as soon as I really get this place in a ( Read more... )

I think, maybe, I will start to update this more frequently. I just feel like it ( Read more... )
