Sunday in September

I am having a lovely Sunday morning at home. Blue skies and dry sunny weather at long last!
Yesterday my friends and I spent all afternoon at a Gloria Jean’s. No, we didn’t have any of their lousy coffee — the smell alone was enough to turn us away the first time. We did, however, help [...]

Ok I’m back

Hoping to make a habit of writing more regularly. When was the last time I wrote? I haven’t logged into my account for so long that it took me several username and password attempts to get here.
But yes your eyes do not deceive you, I am here.
This year has been CRAZY! Of course I started [...]

Let’s try this again… Hello.

I managed to find work a little over a month ago. It’s going well so far (I’m no longer broke-cranky, for one, to the immense relief of my loved ones), I get to tell people what to do (task delegation). I get to say things like, “The fonts aren’t consistent on this page” and “Are [...]

Hello?

Is it me you’re looking for?

Overdue

Things never work out the way you plan them. And plan for my 3 month sabbatical, I certainly did. For instance, I had a reading goal of two books a week. So far I’ve started 3 books and have finished none, although I’m getting hooked on Jonathan Coe’s What a Carve Up!
So yeah what’s been [...]

Stuck at home

It’s been raining all day. So much so that I never made it to work. First I said I was taking half the day off. Then I couldn’t leave the house later either because it was still coming down in buckets. And it’s my last week. I actually want to go to work. It’s still [...]

News: Horrible people

A group of South Korean Christians (missionaries I guess) were taken hostage last July 19 while they were travelling on the highway between Kabul and Kandahar. The Taliban has demanded that South Korean troops in Afghanistan withdraw, and they also want the release of their fellow fighters, currently being held in prison by the Afghan authorities. They threaten that they’ll start killing [...]

The Big…Something

I’m pretty sure I caught this flu-ish type condition from last weekend’s spontaneous pool party crash, which ended up in a lot of cheap rhum and coke fun with half-naked pasty boys, their skanky hoes, good ol’ winamp playlist music (a helluva lot better than the music in the club we ditched) and crepes chock-full [...]

Maternal instinct?

I had a dream. It was the usual vaguely familiar place and included the usual vaguely familiar characters. Sometimes even I’M vaguely familiar and not quite me, as I know myself. As usual, there was some commotion going on and as usual I had no idea what was going on. I always seem to enter [...]

Games and cleaning in June

Holy crap June’s almost over!
For no apparent reason, I’ve been staying up a lot this month. For over a week, I felt compelled to play silly videogames, most of which are DOS based. Hehe I love those. The last couple of days have been devoted to cleaning though: so far I’ve rid my room of 3 large garbage bags, mostly of old [...]
