The Little Things That Crowd My Brain

Hi, Internet. Miss me? Shhhh, it’s okay, mommy’s here. I do apologize for my absence. It’s not like I haven’t been thinking about you. It’s just…how shall I put this…ah, yes. All of my ideas for blog posts have been incredibly lame. It’s true. Every time I sat down to write something, bad ideas flooded [...]

My Big List of Books

My Sisters Blue Eyes by Jacques Poulin

I started doing this thing. Many years ago I started writing down every book I read. This was driven by: My passionate love of lists. A belief that a really long list of books I had some relation to would make me look cool. A (relatively reasonable) fear that over time I would forget what [...]

The Very Best of Visiting Home

No Gizmo for me!

Remember that time I went back to BC for the holidays and I was all yeah, I’m going to write all the time. I’m going to update my blog so often that I’ll crash the internet. That’s how prolific I’m going to be! Okay, maybe you didn’t know about my personal ambition of breaking the [...]

Dare We Compare?

MeAndSidneyCrosby

It’s Wednesday afternoon, and you all know what that means. That’s right! It’s time for a random list! Okay, so that’s not a thing. But it should be a thing. The Wednesday Afternoon List thing. Can I get a WOOT WOOT if you’re with me? This week’s list is — drum roll, please… How Halifax [...]

Life as A Human Article: Me and My Laser Eyes

…When you’re a shy, awkward little girl, the last thing you need is a big old pair of GLASSES on your face. And by big, I mean enormous. We’re talking the stylings of the late 80s – frames that took up half your face and made even the youngest of wearers look like old ladies [...]

Olympic Gold Medals for Everyone!

Every two years, during the media build up to the Olympics, I sigh and grumble and complain. That? Again? Didn’t we JUST have one, like two years ago? And every two years I find myself glued to the TV for 14 days, spellbound and dumbstruck with what some people are able to do with their bodies. [...]

LAAH Article: Why My MacBook is Better Than A Boyfriend

Another excerpt of a Life As A Human article for your enjoyment. I recently treated myself to a new MacBook. Hey, I’m an unemployed, single gal currently “staying” with her mom, with two beater vehicles that are constantly trying to one-up each other on their creative repair needs. Why shouldn’t I be dropping a thousand [...]

My Tribute To Me In 2009

I’m pretty new to this whole blog thing. It seems like everyone is doing these year-in-review posts, and so far all I’ve seen has been very self absorbed drivel. Like the ten most important events of 2009 happened in anyone person’s life. I’d be happy if something I did made it in the top million. [...]

A Long Way Down

I love road trips. I really, surely, do. I like doing them with other people, but my friends aren’t as willing as I am to drop everything, quit their jobs, sell their stuff, and hit the road for an indefinite period of time in an unknown direction. They’re all Oh, I have to pay rent, [...]
