Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
Thanks to going hardcore with the extracurricular activities, I’m in a world of hurt today. It’s the hurts-so-good kinda hurt, but still… ow. So why is it that I’ve been sitting around whining since about 8:00am, and just now (at 3:37pm) realized that hey, maybe I should take some Advil? Obviously because I am a … Continue reading Ouch.
Shortly after I finished ranting and raving at one of my best friends the other day, he looked me dead in the eyes and said: You are such a GIRL. Have I taught you NOTHING? It was just the kick in the teeth I needed to finally make me realize what a chump I am … Continue reading The Apathy has Taken Over Me
My life has been consumed by wanderlust. If anyone needs a ride somewhere in the next little while, I’m still excited enough about being able to actually GO PLACES with relative EASE AND COMFORT that I’ll probably take you almost anywhere for the low, low price of gas. Yes, I know that with the price … Continue reading Driving Miss Daisy
I’ve been having issues lately with the time-space continuum. Mostly when it comes to remembering what day it actually is when I wake up in the mornings. And this happens EVERY MORNING – only the names of the days change. My internal dialogue goes something like this: Alarm: *midi of Knight Rider theme* Brain: MOTHERFUCKERI … Continue reading I know it ends in “Y”…
I’ve just realized that I left my email client open at home. There it is, happily chugging away downloading all my messages every 5 minutes and promptly deleting them from the server. So I can’t check my personal webmail accounts ALL DAY (despite the fact that all I really get on it is blog comments, … Continue reading Uh Uh the Email
How can you tell I have a paper due? My house is getting more Martha-Clean than it usually is (I washed and IRONED the shower curtain), and I’ve been baking up a storm. Of course, I spent a few hours baking 5 dozen cranberry-bran muffins last night, then forgot to bring any to work to … Continue reading Signs
I went out with a guy last night. We had a nice time, and have plans to go out again in a week or two. Here’s my stream of consciousness so far: His job requires him to travel about 200 days a year. My immediate reaction: “Fantastic! you won’t be around often enough to drive … Continue reading I think I watch too much TV…

Cutest baby. DID I MENTION BERTUZZI?!?!? Another beer. More Hockey. Not enough jumpin’ around. SPIT-ACTION!!! Greasy Meat. Home. Best. Sunday. Night. Ever. Continue reading My Bank Sucks… or Does it…
Oh – one more thing I thought I’d toss out there – the weirdass dream I had last night. Preamble: I didn’t sleep in my own bed last night. I’m dreaming that I’ve woken up in the middle of the night, and need to go to the bathroom. No Biggie. Up I get (in the … Continue reading Weird Dreams
Aah.. my massage yesterday was soooo good. Not as good as it could have been, since I ended up with my 2nd choice for massage therapists – but good nonetheless. I even actually slept all the way through the night – UNHEARD OF. Except it messed me up a little in the morning when I … Continue reading Ohmm
… that not sleeping makes me really cranky? Well it does. Unbearably so. I’m so cranky I’m annoying myself. If I don’t get a decent amount of sleep tonight, I’m calling in sick tomorrow to try and nap this shit off. Update, 3:37PM: Oh crap. I remember this feeling. Hi self, welcome to burnout. The … Continue reading Have I mentioned…
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?
I have just discovered something totally neurotic about myself. I have a corporate logo coffee tumbler that I swill my caffeine from daily. I can’t begin drinking, until the mouthpiece is centered over the logo. If the logo isn’t facing me all nice and neat, I can’t start drinking. Bring on the rubber room. Continue reading Tic, tic…
WARNING: GRATUITOUS SEX POST well, not really, but you’ve been warned. Sortof. So I’m at the grocery store tonight picking up some turkey (they were out when I went last night) and I wander past the pharmacy section, and figure I should pick up some personal lubricant for use with my personal “massagers.” Shut up. … Continue reading Me So Horny Dorky
