Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
…there arose such a clatter, that I didn’t even need my alarm clock to wake up. Who knew it – 5:15am is a GREAT time to start moving furniture. It’s probably best that the noisy upstairs neighbours woke me up though. My phone went off with a text at about midnight, and being sound asleep, … Continue reading And from the Apartment Above…
I am clearly an idiot for not finding this roommate earlier in my life. First off, boys tend to have stuff girls don’t, and vice versa – and I’m not talking biology here. For instance, the bathroom. I am a girl – a girly girl even. In the shower I’ve got shampoo, conditioner, body wash, … Continue reading Boyz Rule!
I am the Christmas Superhero. Sometimes I wonder what the rest of my family would do without me, considering not one major gift-giving occasion goes by without me locating and usually acquiring the receiver’s ideal present. What happens when it’s time to give gifts to me? The family gets a detailed list, and my best … Continue reading Random Saturday Morning Content
The new curtains have been hung, I am now in posession of a large stack of cash, and the keys have been passed along. It is no longer safe for me to wander around naked. There are worse things I suppose. Continue reading End of an Era
Gah. All the busy in the world happened to me this weekend. Thursday night; blogger meetup. Friday night; Jazz at the Cellar. Saturday afternoon; lunch date. Saturday night; birthday shindig (and much too much liquor – but so much fun). Sunday morning; hangover, housewarming brunch. Sunday night; hanging the outdoor Christmas lights. I just ask … Continue reading Please Sir, may I have another Weekend?
Blogosphere, I’d like you all to meet Ray – my new roommate as of December 15th.
I have no pictures of Ray, and don’t currently know much about him at all, but I will share what I do know:
-He has paid his rent on time and not been any sort of nuisance according to any landlord I’ve spoken to.
-He has a girlfriend whom I suppose I’ll meet in fairly short order.
-He’s a self-confessed geek, and “tinkers” with computers.
-He is employed at a fairly prestigious technology institute, because once he finished his education, they just liked him that much and asked him to stay.
-He collects Transformers
-He comes with a rather large (I think 62″) rear-projection television set and a PS2.
Welcome, Ray! I think we’re going to get along just fine.

Can I please have another weekend to recover from my weekend? Please? The old roommate is outta here. She does have her keys for another week, since she’s going to come by and pick up any stray mail etc. without having to bother me. But other than that, she’s officially no longer infringing on my … Continue reading A Little bit Crazy?
