Listly Update
I am not dead. With this heat, I kind of want to be, but I'm not. Yet. I just had a busy week, then a week without Internet (BELL!!) and then... well... I couldn't think of much to say. Here's what I learned over the past few weeks ( Read more... ) -
Signs and Old Assigned Reading
Well, tonight I had a really good conversation with a friend. And then on the way home, I was happily bouncing my keys in my hand when my key chain exploded and sent one of my keys tumbling to the ground in a dark alleyway. And of course it was the dull one that barely reflects anything.

Brrrains and Beans
I woke up this morning thinking it was going to be a productive day. When I woke up for a second time at 6pm, I realized it wasn't.

Except with the face paint and/or outrageous ( Read more... ) -
The Dark Side of Plumbing
I'm back from the country and I've brought with me a sunburn, some insect bites and some entertaining memories. Of course it wasn't the whole "Abandon Game" button I was hoping to hit, but eh. In the cold, hard vision of hindsight (where the lighting is a lot like a J-horror film) I now realize that I was putting too much pressure on the weekend ( Read more... ) -
Summer in the Country
I'm fleeing Montreal for a few days to go out in the country. Pistache, who is currently purring merrily with his paws under my arm and his head on top, will probably be unamused by this turn of events. I have someone coming over to look after him, so hopefully he won't be cranky enough to barf all over my bed ( Read more... ) -
Go, Go Sonia
Oy. Those Sotomayor hearings. Sometimes I forget how prevalent racism still is, and then I see a Latina woman being questioned on whether her identity will influence her decisions on the bench. I don't remember anyone asking John G. Roberts how his blinding whiteness would affect his rulings, y'know ( Read more... )
