I sat in the living room, watching TV and checking my email. Clearly I was bored. Something outside caught my attention. Just there, through the crack in the curtains. Just there. Do you see it? Look closer. Ah! There it is! Nature. Better than any reality TV programming.
You may remember that Corey and I had recently acquired new roommates. (See Why I Have One Thousand Balloons As Roommates.) My original estimate of 1,000 was a little high. Apparently it was 75. As you’ll recall, these balloons took up residency on February 14th, 2012. Around two and a half months ago. They all [...]
Once upon a time there was a girl* who worked in an office. It was winter, and it was cold. This nameless girl sat with her back a few inches from the radiator. The building was old and poorly insulated. Her office was freezing in the winter. Or would be, if there was no heat. [...]
I’ve never really been one for decorating a bedroom. Okay, okay, I’ve never really been one for decorating any room. I’m a big fan of hand-me-down furniture. As long as it is relatively comfy and doesn’t have stains on it, I’m in. And curtains? Have you seen the price of curtains? Foggedaboudit! Our apartment came [...]
For Valentine’s Day, Corey filled our bedroom with balloons. Almost two months later and our house is still full of them. This is truly the gift that keeps on giving. It’s almost as if they’re holding some kind of dance-off. A balloon-off, if you will. If so, this one is clearly cheating. And this one has [...]
I’m trying to learn how to post better pictures on my blog. I thought this meant learning how to take better pictures with my camera. But apparently it really means learning how to use a photo editing software to pimp my photos. So, here are some (highly edited) pictures of our apartment building. We’re on [...]
The weather in Halifax has been crazy this winter. One day it has been -20° C, the next + 12° C. Springish in the morning, snow in the afternoon, capped off with an evening wind storm. And the rain! Don’t get me started on the rain! It competes with life on the west coast. Except [...]
You know how it is. You move, you unpack, you try to make dinner. That’s when you discover that, somehow, all of the things that made your kitchen functional have disappeared. The bowls, the spices, the potato peeler, the frying pans, the saran wrap, the cutlery, the table, apparently these all belonged to your former roommate. [...]
You know when something shocking and traumatic happens, and you feel like you’ll never be able to talk about it? It’ll be a dirty secret burning inside your heart FOREVER? Then some time passes and the sharp edge of despair dulls, and you think what was the big deal? That wasn’t so bad. You big [...]
Hrrmph. Growl. What’s going on? What time is it? What day is it? Month? And more importantly, WHICH ONE OF YOU POKED THE SLEEPING BEAR?!?!?! Just give me a minute or two to wake up. Y A W N ! STTRRREEETTCCCHHH There, that’s better. Now let me see…oh my! It’s April! When did that happen? [...]
