So for reasons still unknown to myself, I was up at 6:00am again, and watching the BCTV Morning News on Global, because it’s the only thing on that doesn’t suck. The only thing is, they basically repeat the same thing over and over every 20 minutes or so. I don’t think it’s the kind of … Continue reading Slow News Day

I just checked the mail, and got the “Thanks but No Thanks” letter from the really cool company that I wanted a job with so badly and had a really great interview with a couple weeks ago. I think I’ll go shoot myself in the face. Continue reading As if Mondays weren’t bad enough

Because nobody updates on Sundays. I really don’t have anything to say, so I’ll ramble off a few random things. It’s my anniversary! I’ve had a meaningful, loving relationship for 3 whole years! Not that I’m saying it to rub it in to anyone who’s single – it’s more out of surprise that I was … Continue reading For Devon

… but someday I’ll be Saturday Night! I was going to write a long, drawn out post about how I feel all sorry for myself for all sorts of reasons, until I realized that I have all sorts of reasons not to feel so pathetic. Instead I’m putting out a call: I need something to … Continue reading Feelin’ like a Monday…

I just wrote an entry about Bruce Almighty (I went to see it yesterday) but I lost it. Summation: Go see it. The end. Continue reading Mighty Fine Frustrating

If there were an opportunity to use trackback now, I would. Donna got the common cold, and I have a hankering for a stomach ache (I’d actually like to have the flu, and a sore throat, and the cold too). So who’s with me? If we all order together, we can save on the shipping … Continue reading Stomach Ache?
