Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
So, thanks to a last minute golf trip, I’m without a boyfriend for the next couple of days. I now have all of Canada Day and Friday night with no plans and nobody to hang out with.
So if you’ve been harassing me to come out and chill, and you’ll be around the next few days, give me a call and we’ll set something up…..

Everyone has already said most things I was going to say about the election, so just a short post to fill in the few things I still think are worth mentioning. With the votes falling the way they did, I predict another election within 16 months. And I hope Chuck Cadman doesn’t flip back to … Continue reading State of the Union
Proof that there is a God. Last summer I was a victim of the Grande Brownie Frapp ASS. So this is a welcome addition to the summer slushy drink lineup. Continue reading Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Clause
I promise I have things to say about last night’s erection election, but first, I have something very important to share. With all of the political hooplah, it completely slipped my mind that on Sunday it was exactly 1 MONTH until my BIRTHDAY! Please prepare adequately for the festivities and gifting. That is all, carry … Continue reading A Day (or two) Late
GO VOTE, NOW! Ok, if you can’t go now, the polls are open from 7:00am – 7:00pm, local time. Don’t know where to go? Check elections.ca. Just enter your postal code to find your polling station. Don’t know your postal code? Check out canadapost.ca. There. Now you’re all out of excuses. What’s that you say? … Continue reading VOTE
I don’t really have anything to say, but I thought I’d give a little update and let you all know that the funk lifted on Friday evening. It likely had something to do with the fact that I had “Orientation Day” on Thursday at work, so going back to the actual job on Friday felt like a Monday.
Other than that, the weekend’s been pretty uneventful. I’m sure I could make a few things I did sound exciting, but it just seems too much like work right now.
The blow-by-blow is in the extended entry:

Some days are really, really good. Some days are slightly less than good. Some days are even really bad. Today’s not a really bad day – but it’s not anything I’d call good. In fact, it’s so mediocre it’s painful, and I can’t imagine going through days and days like this on end, living the … Continue reading Some Days
I have absolutely nothing to say, so here’s another meme:
A – Age: 23
B – Band listening to right now: None. but CSI is on TV
C – Career future: The Office of Strategery. (I have no idea what my exact future is. I like formulating and executing plans.)
…..

Just a few tidbits about the job today that have struck me as noteworthy: I have to enter a number of discount codes. Although all the abbreviations make sense in the context, taken out of context, they’re kindof funny. One of them is STUPD. Type that enough times, and you’ll never type the word “stupid” … Continue reading Tidbits
I just updated my blogroll. Did a little pruning of those that are either outdated, or don’t update often. Now I’m looking for a few more blogs to add. I only have a few requirements for the blogs that I read: They must be, for the most part, readable. It’s amazing how seemingly illiterate some … Continue reading Keep them doggies rollin’
I have absolutely nothing of any importance to say. Friday night I hung out with my lovin’ man and watched tv. Saturday I attended a lovely friend’s housewarming – wonderful time, thanks again dearheart! Saturday night I braved the horror that is a Greyhound bus from Vancouver, at the scary Pacific Central station (right on … Continue reading Weekend Redux
I don’t have much to say on each of these separately, so a bulk entry seems appropriate: Books: There was a book fair at work today, so I picked up Simply Yoga, Eats, Shoots and Leaves and The Lovely Bones. All three for under $35. Yay! Video: I signed up for DVDFlix.ca on Tuesday night. … Continue reading Multi-Media
That’s right folks, three more up for grabs. I’m not sure how well this will go over, considering they’re free and all, and the availability has spread rapidly through my circle of friends – but they’re coveted, and I need the help, so here’s the criteria: The Gmail accounts will be granted to the first … Continue reading Gmail for the Boobies
I just processed a contract for the new business located at the old office of my former place of employ. I wonder what they’ve done about the green walls…. Continue reading Ironic
So unfortunately, Skybar is all booked up for the 30th of June. Bummer. So I’ve rescheduled – to Wednesday the 28th of July. Conveniently, the day after my birthday! Anyone who wants to join in the fun (guys and gals alike) are welcome. You just need to be comfortable with male entertainment. Continue reading Ladies Night (part deux)
