Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
I don’t know why I never manage to do these things on Fridays… 1. What does it say in the signature line of your emails? Work: Name, Title, Company, Address, Phone, Website. Home: “Work like you don’t need the money/Love like you’ve never been hurt/Dance like nobody’s watching” 2. Did you have a senior quote … Continue reading Friday Five
So… whaddya think? I could use a graphic saying “movable peechie” to replace “My Glorious Words,” but other than that, I’m pleased. Are you? Continue reading New Look
There’s an article out today, stating that SFU is about to raise their fees again. Starting next year, they will be one of the highest priced post-secondary institutions in the country. I guess since BC (specifically Vancouver) has one of the highest costs of living in the country, why not tack that on as well. … Continue reading I’m glad I finished when I did – but I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat
Today is taking forever to end. It is the suck. And it’s not even the kind of day where I can say it’s taking forever because it’s so slow. I’ve actually accomplished more in the day and a half I’ve had this week than the entire week previous. It’s been a fairly busy morning… AND … Continue reading booooooooring

I have been tainted by fear. I feel like this makes me a bad person. Taking the skytrain in to work this morning, I was CRAMTMmed into a car with a very strange guy. Now I walk through 3 blocks of the poorest postal code in Canada twice daily, so I see my fair share … Continue reading Tainted by fear
I just got some wikkid cool headphones. I ordered them last week, and they arrived today. Now I can rock on in the snow, feelin’ mighty fine, with warm, warm ears. My only lament – I didn’t bring my discman to work with me today – so no outdoor rockin’ out until later, or more … Continue reading Rock On in the Wintertime
One of my Christmas gifts was a Birthday/Anniversary calendar. I’m also getting really into using my Palm/Outlook calendars. So if you have a birthday or anniversary that you’d like me to know about, email me or leave it in the comments. Who knows, you may even get a card outta the deal 🙂 Continue reading Happy Birthday to You
I’ve tried to write this post about 12 times now, and every time it keeps sounding all hokey and stupid. Oh well. I figure I’ll just toss out some key words about what happened in 2003, and what I hope to happen in 2004. In no particular order: 2003: discovery, joy, achievement, pain, questions, completion, … Continue reading Out with the Old, In with the New
I’ve made it halfway! Halfway through what, you ask? and at 3:00 am? Work. That’s what. Graveyard Shit Shift. Someone quit without notice, and I’m taking one for the team, cleaning up the last of the mess. This is really the only impact the whole thing has had on me, and I volunteered for it … Continue reading Halfway
Happy New Year and all that Jazz. Look for my Year in Review and Resolutions posts coming up in the next few days. Hope all your 2003’s weren’t too hard on you, and all the best in 2004! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a bottle of Moet to chill. Continue reading One more thing
I am back. I am well. Everything was lovely and then some. I am tired. Continue reading Back
I’m heading out of town for a few days, and plan on leaving as much technology as possible behind, including the computer. So no blogging from me until early next week sometime. I’d like to leave you all a gift, and my gift to you is a story. It’s my favourite Christmas story of all … Continue reading Merry Christmas
Work has been hella stressful lately. Hopefully today was the “head” that it’s all coming to, and things will start to simmah down. Fewer things are more relaxing than 2 hours in a massage chair getting a festive manicure and pedicure. To increase the joy – make it one of those rare occasions where you … Continue reading More Randomness
My life has been a whirlwind of randomness lately.
Between circles of friends, family, work & personal stuff, not to mention the holidays, I feel I’ve hardly had time to breathe. So here’s what’s been going on with me for the past little while:
