FOR THE LOVE OF PURVIS GO OUT AND VOTE TODAY. And try your best not to vote for a walking human rights violation. Hey. It has been exactly 54 weeks since I moved here from the older, greener blog. In the interim, I have experimented with LiveJournal. It was as I thought it would be: full of a bunch of whiners and about 3 cool people (Jeremy, and two other people that I found by fluke). I find

I'm cross-posting. Dig it. I'm trying to figure out a way to rekindle a relationship that is on the way out in its current form. I'm still pondering ways to start it up again, after it suffered a bit of a trauma. I have no fucking clue how to do this. To keep this thing going I think I need to lay down some boundaries, but it would break my heart to limit the person in question. I'm just not

Irony... Just checking out a random selection of previous blog-posts, and I came across this lovely selection from July 27, 2003: "The thing of it is this: in this world, there are two types of people. The first type receives the wonderful things in life as gifts, and then says thank you. The second type takes what they want because they believe they are owed. And when they don't get what they

Goddamn right, it's a beautiful day. Facets of the beautiful day, in no particular order: -finished the book. And what a book. It feels brilliant to be immersed in the world of words again. Review to follow once I have digested it. -viewed some photos (just developed) that had been completely forgotten. Nice one. I don't care who you are or where you are from, you should just go to Zion. Go.

Whirl-a-girl... So, I have personal rules about things. Lots of people know this. It explains my inability to deal with anything to do with "Nick and Jessica" (ask me about that rule, if you are so inclined to read through an explanation. Another rule is not to read books with dumb titles, because I love titles and think they are important. For this reason, I held off on Fall on Your Knees by

I WANT ONE. I want one so bad. I also want the TV to be turned down and Marilyn Manson to turn up and ban all sports talk (which he does, on his tours). But that is just me. It is all just so fickle. I can't deal with fickle. If you are going to care, can you please care for the good times and the bad, not just when everyone is riding high and mob mentality threatens to take over the city. Oh,

Suddenly there's a tidal wave, and everything's sucked out to sea. I feel like that a lot. I have been trying, unsuccessfully to purchase the latest Magnetic Fields release. I really don't want to have to order it online, so I will keep pestering the merchants here until one satiates my desire. Bloody crap merchants. I will make do with reading the fab book that Megan lent me. It is spooky.

I'm back, and feeling surprisingly positive about the whole thing. This may signal my final fall into dementia, but until I know for sure I will run with it. My short trip was fantastically sweet. I would be really happy to live just down the highway from my lovely family. I will expound more when I have the time and the inclination. The real question right now is whether or not I will be

I am on my trip, and it feels good. Lots of hanging with the pre-school set, and a good chunk of the Grade 2 set. Good times. Of course, it meant that I had to return to Burnaby to hang with Martin and drink lots of beer and generally discuss the universe and eat some sushi last night. And straight into this morning. I had the strangest dreams. Until the sun blasted me in the eyes at 6:15 and I

Trip, trip, trip, trip, I am going on a trip. Yahoo! I'm doing one of my very favourite things in the whole wide world on Saturday: hitting the open road! Yeah! As per usual, music recommendations are more than appreciate. I am always looking for more tunes to take part in. Good news: the CD I made for Megan has been deemed a major success. So nice! I think she likes the label art too... I

It's just like chocolate fingers on bedtime saucers Or it would be, if I was a "bedtime saucer" kind of gal. I am more a "bedtime glass of water and lip balm" kind of gal. Anyhoo. I am completely unimaginative in the blog-o-sphere at present. Going to see a movie at the same house of ill-repute at which I viewed Gothika.

Jeremy is almost done his thesis, thus almost done his degree. Yeah! That freakin' rocks! There was never any doubt in my mind that he would rock that mofo like a screaming demon, and it seems as though he has. Nice! So nice! It makes me ridiculously happy for him. I'm so glad he is my friend. Go Jeremy, go! Let us just wallow in the glow for one moment, shall we? Ahhhhh.... In other news, I am

Just got an email from Jackie describing the near escape of an elderly patient at the nursing home at which she volunteers. I must remember to tell her about the lady who busted out of the CareWest facility I temped at... and the lady's subsequent rounding up by the police. I'm so glad Quon and I have a pact to do each other in if we get like those sad little old people who just want to be free.

Hay. Straw is cheaper, grass is free. Horses eat it, why don't we? Because it is pokey. Week 2 of the oil company assignment is now in full swing. I have to admit that I like it here. I like having more work that time. I like Tuesdays (boardroom meeting day, treats in the kitchen). I like Thursdays (treat day, nuff said). And I love starting at 8:30 instead of 8. And I love being able to
