May all your trunks wave at the sun with love! :)

Ngh. Mondays. I swear I'm being stalked by this evil day-of-the-week. How did the weekend zoom past already? We went out to Vancouver Island again, to hang with Tim's folks and pick up our van. We'd parked it out there for the last three months, to save the expense of a vehicle for awhile... but with all this balmy weather we've been having, we ( Read more... )

Saturday night. Listening to Aphex Twin, burning a little n' surfing through blogs. Haven't put on pants all day. Just debating if I want to, so I can wander out to the arcade for a few hours. Been a bit bummed lately. S'been hard not to get myself down... :( Hunting for work n' pretending to be an adult. I was sure I'd landed my dream job last ( Read more... )

Why are hemorrhoids called "hemorrhoids" instead of "assteroids"?

This is the coolest thing I've ever stared at. A little elephant in utero! Look at his sleepy face, the umbilical cord, his tiny ears! That amazing trunk! You can even see a mohawk of fuzzy hair on his back! Check out National Geographic's documentary, In the Womb of Animals, there's an incredible preview you can stream off the site. Absolutely ( Read more... )

Our stuff finally arrived from Toronto! We'd used one of those "you-pack-it-we-ship-it" services, so on Friday we had to collect our stuff from a storage yard in Richmond. This meant renting a 1-TON truck, Tim not shaving for a week and us blasting Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Truck-Driving Man" on the stereo while we vroomed across the city. All of our ( Read more... )

On Saturday afternoon, we stumbled into this little Jamaican roti shop on the east side of the city. Nifty little shop! We sat at an old-skool 2-player PacMan table right under a giant stuffed lion, and ordered some curried rotis.(That's taxidermied stuffed, not fluffy toy stuffed... ;o) Anyways, I'm happily chomping down my vegetable roti when I ( Read more... )

It was my turn to make dinner last night. I’m in the kitchen, chopping up some broccoli, snow peas, and onion, frying up some tofu, steaming some jasmine rice... when realize that we’re out of garlic. So like any sane cook, I throw on my coat to head out to the corner grocery store, where I pick up some garlic (and rice pudding for dessert!) and ( Read more... )

Back in Vancouver, where aliens have obviously taken over. Its snowing (snowing!), the whole city is on a boil-water advisory and I can't find Timba no matter how many times I look under the bed. (Isn't that where monsters usually hide?) I suspect I may have accidently left him in Toronto, because I keep getting emails that say witty inte-mu- ( Read more... )

Landed in Toronto last weekend for a mini-vacation and move-stuff session. So very happy to be here! Already had a big ol' house party, squeezed in a cooking date with Kimba, been hangin' in my bro's new home, cat-napping with Pico, yabbering on n' on with my mom about carrots... this is the day-to-day pollen gathering that I miss so much lately. I ( Read more... )
