Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
Don’t you hate it when you have your sights set on something – and someone else totally fucks it up? I booked a hair appointment for this afternoon, and I was really looking forward to it. My hair is already a bit overdue for a cut & colour – and I DO NOT want to … Continue reading Flopsy
Have you ever noticed that all of the “good ideas” seem to have vanished? Instead of new and innovating products, we are seeing the old and tired junk of yesteryear trumped up with fancy new names. A few examples: They used to be referred to as hotel shower caps, now they’re Saran Quck Covers. Once … Continue reading Blatently Obvious
Things still suck (in case any of you wondered) but someone said one of the most encouraging things to me last night. So when you’re feeling blue (as I am) – try to remember this: Don’t worry if life is cruel to you – that just means it owes you something really great. Continue reading Words of Wisdom
I hate mood swings. In the past couple days I have gone from being absolutely elated – feeling on top of the world – to hating everything. I can’t really pin it on anything other than the fact that I’m due for another blast of hormones in the next little while, but I still think … Continue reading Moody Blues
I suck. For everyone who received a stupid stupid e-mail from me, I’m sorry. Apparently I’m the only other one who missed the memo about the hoax e-mail going around. The part that sucks even more, is that just after I sent this out, I got an e-mail warning me of the damn hoax. Couldn’t … Continue reading I’M SO SORRY!!!
… is like competing in the special olympics. No matter who wins, you’re still retarded. That’s not a really nice sentiment, and I have the utmost respect for anyone who’s living with a disability of any kind – but it sortof fits. I was reading the weblog of this girl the other day, and after … Continue reading arguing on the internet…
I hurt. I went to the gym yesterday for the usual Saturday morning BodyPump class. I’m really starting to enjoy it – melts away the stress of the week quite nicely. The program we did yesterday, however, entailed SIX MINUTES OF SQUATS!!! My legs and butt are seriously protesting. But no pain, no gain, right?? … Continue reading Random stuff
Now I know that retail isn’t the most forgiving job out there – heck, I’ve done it – and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. I mean, somebody’s gotta be there to service me when I need to spend my hard earned money. But there are just some people out there, who have obviously made … Continue reading Retail Hell
So I went to this thing yesterday called “Careers in Communication” where I got to learn that I’d probably be better off becoming a professional student than trying to get a job with my degree. The upside was that I did win a door prize. A CD – Massive 2004. Not something I’d ever buy … Continue reading Technology… huh.
So I get up this morning, shower etc. and head off to school. I got on the bus, lamenting the fact that I forgot my discman, and headed up the hill. As I’m walking up the stairs to the West Mall I run into a group of people from my class who are heading back … Continue reading annoying
If today is only Monday, I’m not quite sure how I’ll make it to the end of the week. Yesterday I decided to head down to the “Rally on Robson” to see the sights and perhaps partake in what I know to be (in my modest existence) Vancouver’s first organized street party in a very … Continue reading World Class pain in the… ?
