Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
And just like that, it’s all pretty much over. Gifts have been given and received, family’s come and gone, food’s been created and consumed. I’m currently curled up in one of two new sets of cozy pj’s, reflecting on the holiday. I got my very own Christmas miracle this year, and managed to be left … Continue reading And so it goes
Well, I’ve made it back to the homestead. Did a little last-minute shopping with dad, a little last-minute baking with mom, a little drinking and commisserating with the brothers, and it looks like I’ve got nothing left to do but relax and enjoy myself from here on in. Hope your holidays are happy, wherever you … Continue reading Home

It was nice. Tentative plans for next week are in place 🙂 Continue reading For Mel
Finally, after years of consideration and public consultation, the CRTC has issued a decision that requires all Canadian wireless providers to have implemented the technology to support number portability by March 2007 (by releasing their numbers), and to support that technology by September 2007 (by accepting the newly released numbers). I know I can say … Continue reading eight-six-seven-five-three-oh-nine

That’s the car’s new name. She’s been upgraded from J’Lo. Because she’s just THAT demanding. Now that I am a little over $900 poorer the car seems to be running well. The mechanic is so convinced his work is going to hold (he refused to say one way or the other before it was done) … Continue reading The Diva
I have recently discovered that if someone says “you’re such a great catch” (occasionally preceeded by “I don’t know why you’re single, because…) I am likely to be overcome with an insatiable urge to cause them bodily harm. That is all. Carry on. Continue reading Trigger
Ever since reading He’s Just Not That Into You I’ve been pretty blase about guys who don’t call back. Virtually everyone I’ve dated in the past year has just “stopped calling” at some point (a few because I ripped them apart on the world wide web and they took the hint), and it was all … Continue reading The Drop Off
Why is it that the first day my car’s outta commission and I can’t work from home so I have to take the peasant wagon (read: mass transit) to work it starts to rain and doens’t look like it’ll stop any time soon? Three point five more days until eleven off. P.S. I’m not actually … Continue reading Drip Drip Drop
Merry Christmas, my car is a lemon. What do you do when life hands you lemons? Blog about it. Apparently, the underlying issue that’s been causing my car to need constant attention is that the crankshaft is damaged. Fixing that requires a rebuild of the engine. Goodbye $1500! I didn’t need that vacation anyway. But … Continue reading Hosed.

Say you were out in a bar on a random Monday, and you met a lovely young lady, and she had her beer goggles sufficiently affixed enough to actually give you her phone number, and you don’t actually know anything about her other than how old she is and what she does for a living. … Continue reading RHS #16 – Wear Your Own Skin, and Wear it Well
I know it’s a looooooong long shot, but is there anyone out there who actually has a modicum of desire to see the Theory of a Deadman, Armchair Cynics, Hurst & Faber show at the Commodore tonight? I picked up a pair of tickets a while ago, and am met with responses ranging from mild … Continue reading Santa Fox?
The Holiday bug has officially gotten me! Every day this week the mail’s held a wee bit of cheer! Christmas Cards, the 12 Months of Chuck calendar I ordered, and my Secret Santa Gift! And nothing puts me in the festive mood like listening to Dean Martin croon “Baby its Cold Outside” on repeat all … Continue reading Bitten!
