***WARNING***
I'm no girly girl. But I'ma gonna take this moment, because I never do.
I miss the spring. I miss being terribly busy, yet being in a temperate climate. I miss my hair. I miss my skin!
I HATE what winter does to these peaches and cream, baby. What I hate more, is the dire poverty that's had me have to revert to my... Read More
I think I';ve gained a pound or two since it got cold...I've been lazy, not doing as much walking as usual...I'm usually a major walker, several hours a day if i have the time and am not in too big of a rush Grr. Winter really just started and I want spring already.
I can do thursday, I think I;m free all that day...Long as its not super duper late cause I work friday.
I have a fair bit of pumpkin beer , 4 or 4 bottles of cider and maybe 7 bottles of brown ale left.
The oatmeal stout will be in bottles tomorrow I think...probably ready to crack open a bottle by tuesday or so (yes I'm impatient).
We can always have more than one tasting if you wish
Ok. Well. I slept in.
But! I'm in the kitchen, and not in bed, still, so that's still progress I suppose.
Damnit! Nerds! Quit it!
One more kid wandering campus in fatigues with his foam bat in tow, and my to-do list gets shot.
No wonder they get made fun of.
In truth, I'm deeply sympathetic to the plight of the Nerd, the Geek, the... Read More
Oh, and as for posting things where my co-workers can see 'em, that's another problem. There's no office. There's not even much of a group in the same city, which is weird. So everything's via email, and of course tone is sometimes difficult to judge. Blargh. Looks like it's just me and the grant guy for now. And a very small, select group of writers.
Bit of a change in routine today.
Today, first reall day of 2007.
Today, when we wake up at 7, we get up at 8, for a change, rather than smoking a bowl, watching an episode of House and going back to sleep until 1.
We actually get out of bed, get dressed, and, rather than lazing about in bed, developing repetitive strain injury and... Read More
1. What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?
Gradjetation.
Design.
Saw a James Bond movie.
Piloted a boat. (Do you pilot a boat?)
Dreaded my hair. Shaved my head.
There's a whole bunch more I'm sure. I do specifically remember thinking "I've never done this before!" several times, but what, exactly, eludes... Read More
Well, I've been told I'm not contageous. But if you are coming down with something, I'd rather say *YOU* should stay at home and have someone bring *YOU* soup :p
I'm sure I'll survive. It looks like I have someone bringing me tea and cookies at the least so that should tide me over
If I was eating soup, it wouldn't be chicken soup cause as a general rule, I don't eat anything with fur or feathers on it.
Hmm. Well, currently I don't skin cats, though dogs may be another story if they don't leave me alone! Damned beagles. Perhaps it's like that saying "there's more than one way to skin a cat"?
As for the Idiot Boy, we'd been together before. He's always been a little weird, so it wasn't all that weird, because he was kissing me everywhere else, but refused my lips. So I asked him, and that's when it all came out. Honestly, WTF? So, he's off my To Do list.
Well. You know.
It's not so bad, in that it's nice, and sunny, 20 degrees ish.
I've got a bicycle to ride, and a dinghy to paddle around in.
My father's maid is taking me down at some point to put braids and extentions in my hair, so I might have my old self back, roughly a year ahead of schedule.
NYE chez moi! I'm an arse and haven't bothered properly inviting my friends. (when my mind is tied up, I forget important shit, like eating, or in this case, inviting people to a party I'm throwing.) Convince Adam and Laura, too. I will make sleeping arrangements, if needs be.
Also, I am pretty good at finding cheap fabric, so make a budget, and I'll see what can be done. Whatev, we'll discuss it at length at some point, I'm sure.
1. Have you had any relationships this year?
3.
1 I want, I can't have, and I know exactly why
another I don't want (but certainly don't not want) and have, and know why
and a third I wanted, and still do, but couldn't have, and never found out why.
2. Have you had your birthday yet?
Yes I have. 25 times in total.
Audition Audition Audition!
They're all so excited.
Of course they are.
I think I got too grown up for my big bum-around-Europe pack. That is, unless I'll be bumming around Europe.
But no. I need a real grown-up suitcase.
3 weeks in stuffy old Bermuda, where there are officially no cool kids.
A total of 2 SG members... squirrelly.

Often characterized by my own brutal honesty, I felt compelled to take this testand see what it had to say.
In addition to being brutally honest, I have to say, I'm pretty much always right.

"... well that's good. You're probably the only one who knows what they're doing"
I got a bit behind in my private shit-wrangling do-do list, which would lead to more self-berating, if it hadn't happened by the fact hat IATSE called on Monday to send me to a 14hr day at the Theatre Du Nouveau Monde,... Read More
Bermuda, huh? I just found a quarter from Bermuda in the till at work today. And I have a friend who goes there every winter to golf. Sounds like a lovely place.
For the stove, it's our oven. Just got it (2nd hand, but it seemed in great shape). From what I can tell, such elements will normally last at least 5-6 years and sometimes 10+. Just my luck. At least it waited till the brownies finished baking to crap out. But I was S.O.L and had to bake my bread in the upstairs neighbours rather dodgy oven.
For the beer kit...I'll tell you what, there are only a couple of good stores in the Montreal area for such things...But If you are game, I'll even go with you and pick out something appropriate...I presume it's a malt-extract kit he wants....but if you get the chance, ask him.
For cost...well, I honestly haven't made beer from a kit in the last 5 years...But I don't think this should cost much more than 25-30$...Maybe less, as I said, I really can't say exactly. But can find out.
Get your sorry, expanding, self-indulgent arse out of bed. Get off your fucking ass, stop with the fucking procrastination, and remember the lesson that that eye-liner wearing andro-queen taught you, and that it's a fuckload easier to stress yourself out by doing things, than to be sitting there, smoking pot, fucking freaking out about it not getting done.
