Since Kris' family and their cottage neighbours take turns making Thanksgiving dinner for the whole lot of them, and since this year was the neighbours' turn, Kris' mom began to feel that she was missing out on having typical Thanksgiving leftovers.  You know.  Turkey slices, followed by turkey sandwiches, followed by turkey soup.  So what did we ( Read more... )

I now have two jobs and one apartment.

Details on both to those interested enough to comment.

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

Felix (my dear computer) alerted me this morning to the fact that I "may be a victim of software counterfeiting" and something about my Windows licence not being genuine or something.  I've had Felix since October 2004, so almost two years, and this is the first I've heard of this.  As far as I recall, I think he came directly from Dell with all ( Read more... )

I have returned from Quebec and learning about marathon canoe races.  It turns out they're pretty crazy and everyone involved with helping the actual paddlers is actually in the race too.  This makes for psychotic Quebec driving on the part of everyone.  Anyway.  Supercool ( Read more... )

OK, so the events might not necessarily be so crazy in and of themselves.  Possibly they only make me look and feel crazy.  For a taste:

1) Last night at Kris's I fell asleep while we were watching a movie.  He woke me up at the end of the movie and I couldn't figure out who he was.  The lights were on, so I was looking directly at him and could ( Read more... )

If I didn't know better I'd swear my mom was trying to get me to live at home forever.  When I get on a potential jobs binge (and consequently start feeling and probably sounding more than slightly panicky) she starts suggesting people I can talk to around here about what I should do.  Once I establish with her for the millionth time that I have ( Read more... )

Does anyone need/want a roommate for about a year or so?  Somewhere in the Halifax Regional Municipality?  I'm not totally sure what I'm doing with myself next year, but since practically everyone I know will be there or near there it seems like I could be coming up with worse ideas.

Hi, Axl,

Just got your manuscript and demo for the song "Sweet Child O' (sic) Mine." I think we need to talk. As your editor, I am responsible for making your songs as cogent as possible, for helping ( Read more... )

So, since I'm unemployed and have no plans for either going to any school or finding any job as yet (although I assure you I've been looking), I somehow thought it would be a good idea to see if I couldn't figure out how much it would cost me and a travel companion to get to Memphis.  This was mostly inspired by Tiff's Experimental Travel book and ( Read more... )

OK, y'all.  Tiffany and I survived our Eurotrip!  It was jolly good, but now I am left to face the fact that I have absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH MY LIFE.  Suggestions made during the trip included, but were not limited to, becoming a fountain-keeper in Tiff's future estate, renting out window space in the Red Light district, joining the mafia ( ( Read more... )
