Piecing things together again
Wow, this journal gets dustier and dustier. I used to be on here daily, at least reading my Friends Page even though I wasn't doing much updating myself. Now I check out the FP once a month, and even then I'm skipping most of the comm posts.
I know, this is a fascinating intro to a rare update.
Anyhow, I'm just in the mood to put something out ( Read more... ) -

I, like many (I suspect), have a serious love-hate relationship with Stephen King. I certainly admire him as one of the greatest storytellers around, and I really do love his narrative voice and general way with words. Like many, however, I tend to take a lot of offense at his endings. The man's a genius at setting up compelling scenarios and ( Read more... ) -
No matter what tarot quiz I take, the result is ALWAYS the same
You know, it never ceases to amaze me the way the morbid and the macabre always creep about my life and my consciousness. Death is something that speaks to me on both a figurative and a literal level. Well, not so much death itself as the trappings surrounding it: the rituals, the paraphernalia, the superstitions. I suppose it may be more ( Read more... ) -
This? That. Dip dip dippety?
Okay. So. The Kia/Hamsterdam commercials. Weirded me out at first, but they've grown on me over the last few weeks. But I do have to raise my eyebrow a bit at the fact all of the hamsters wear shirts except the girl hamsters. The ladies, they wear skirts. Nothin' else. So every time it shows them dancing, it's like I'm suddenly watching some ( Read more... ) -

I've finally figured out why I hate station wagons so much: they look like perverted hearses ( Read more... ) -
An even more pointless entry than usual
It's warm. It's very warm. I don't like it when it's warm. Yes, it's good for my back, but it's also good for spiders. What's good for spiders generally isn't good for my mental health and well-being. And right now, I'm remembering it's not so good for sleeping. Not that I'm trying to sleep right now, but even though I likely won't even get ( Read more... ) -
Odhinn, Thorr, and Maurice Richard
I do believe I've figured out why I'm so obsessed with Canada lately and why I'm suddenly so fixated on learning more about my French Canadian heritage. Yes, everyone can now breathe a sigh of relief, because I've not only solved that little mystery, I've also solved the mystery surrounding my first name. And yes, the two are related. I think I' ( Read more... ) -
Oh, I've lost it for good now
For some inexplicable reason, the last several months have seen me growing ever more obsessed with Canada. I originally blamed it on a combination of South Park (I have an unhealthy fixation on the way they portray Canadians. Ike is my fave character of all time, and I sing "Canada on Strike" and "There's No Canada like French Canada" very loudly ( Read more... ) -
Hey, how's it goin', eh?
This LJ used to be a place for my random thoughts and updates, but I've found that I don't post as much as I did in past years because I always end up blathering on endlessly in boring tangents. Late last year, I became assimilated into the Facebook cult, and I've managed to do there what I'd originally done here: concise updates on the important ( Read more... )
