Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
After spending most of 8 hours of my day infront of a slim, stylish, sharp 19″ flat panel, going home to my husky, dusty (although perfectly fine) 17″ flat screen seems somehow dissatisfying. Now I know why men cheat. Sometimes the grass *is* greener (and each blade more perfectly defined, with amazing shading…..) Continue reading Sadly Lacking
I plan on watching the leader’s debate this evening, along with at least a large chunk of the rest of the country, I’m sure. I did manage to get a sneak preview though. I watched en Francais (with a translator, of course) on cpac yesterday. I didn’t know that Jack Layton was born in Quebec, … Continue reading Leader’s Debate
Getting drunk on a Sunday night is rarely a good idea when you have to get up for work at 6:30am on Monday Morning. Live and learn people. Continue reading PSA #98329847

It’s that time of year again – Canadian Idol has started up. They’ve finally narrowed it down to the final 32.
The show is ending with a little montage at CTV’s fall launch party, featuring the 32 idol potentials, and last year’s top 4: Ryan Malcom, Gary Beals, Audrey de Montigny, and Billy Klippert.
The first 3 look pretty much the same (except Ryan has done something weird and mohawk-ey with his hair)
But Billy – he’s toned up a little… lost a few pounds… chiseled the jaw… I’ve just got two words for you:
TEH HOTTTES!!!!

I’m quickly discovering that with the spread of my ass came the shrinkage of my wearable wardrobe.
I’m doing my darndest to kick the flab, but in the meantime, I need something wearable, besides sweats (they aren’t exactly work appropriate).
So I hit the mall this evening, and got a pair of khakis, a sweater, hoodie style jacket, two tanks and two t-shirts – all for around $100. Pretty good if I do say so myself.
Since I’m coming off being recently unemployed, I didn’t exactly have the $100 to spend, but perhaps if I eschew eating this week I’ll kill two birds with one stone!

Ok, first off, when I came home from work today I opened the dishwasher and found a GIGANTIC wolf spider making a break for it. GROSS. I promptly squealed and slammed the dishwasher shut, and turned it on rinse. Stupid springtime in BC and the nasty spiders it brings. Well, now that we’ve got that … Continue reading First Day
