Ear Porn
I have just discovered that there is something delicious in listening to someone else eat an apple. The initial slice of teeth into the skin, the crisp snap as the flesh is bitten off. Next, the muffled crushing of teeth on fibres. I swear, I can almost hear the minute juice droplets suspended in the air as I wait for the sound of the next bite ( Read more... ) -
Oh my...
Check this out! Just in time for Valentine's Day, because nothing says I love you like, "Wear my dead dog on your finger!"
I am in a pretty bad mood. My left-side-of-body-numbness (as mentioned here & here) has returned, this time along with pain. The earliest appointment I could get with my neurologist is at the end of March. (Don't get me ( Read more... ) -

Today the phone rang & the Caller Display read "JEHOV WITNSES". Do they really expect people to pick up when presented with such a loud warning sign?
On Saturday, my friends & I are having a Sinterklass dinner party. Sinterklass is sort of like the traditional Dutch "Christmas". It's celebrated on December 5th, so we're only about one & a half ( Read more... ) -
The Many Uses of Technology
I'm pretty sure last night was the coldest night of the winter (thus far) - the guy on the radio said that with windchill, it felt like the minus mid-thirties Celsius. I was home alone, cuddled up with a blanket & my cat watching the news when the power went out & on & out & on & out again for good. (Strobe lights! For your own house ( Read more... ) -
The "point" of dating?
[What I do when I don't want to do schoolwork: think about pointless things.]
I find myself in a weird sort of limbo these days, in that I know that my time as a Masters of Science student, & potentially my time in Ottawa, are limited, now that I have been admitted to law school. Everyone keeps asking me, what's going to happen to your project? I ( Read more... ) -
The Start of Something New
On Tuesday night, I was procrastinating by surfing the web site of my university's registrar. On this particular evening, once logged-on, this site told me that I had been admitted to law school. Fancy that. (!!!!!!) I simply couldn't believe it, & the web site said, "this is not an official document". So I decided not to fully believe it, nor ( Read more... ) -
Wednesday Chuckles
This is a hilarious take on a Canadian classic. (Watch to the end - it just gets better & better!)
I also really recommend the skits "The white box for polar bears" & "Global warming... let's roll with it!" both of which you can see here. Rick Mercer is a genius. I think I've been watching him on various shows since grade 9. He hasn't aged ( Read more... ) -
2007, Year of the Nerd
One of my New Years Resolutions is to read more (for fun). I adore reading, & it is really not something I do enough. I intend to track my progress in this blog. That way, if I don't stick to my resolution, at the very least, Gloria can bust my chops.
Books I Have Read in 2007
1. The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham
Admittedly, I started reading ( Read more... ) -
Party Girl
I went out again last night, with another set of friends. A different sort of evening, a different sort of fun. We had a "girls night". Now that I think about it, you could further subcategorize it into a "single girls night". Our "predrinking" involved being seated at a proper dinner table with Pinot Grigio, grapes, & tapas.
Eventually we made ( Read more... )
