From my kitchen

Friday, August 31st, 2012

I got Jeff to come look at the ‘blue moon’ (2nd of two full moons in a month) this morning – it shone from a halo of cloud, perched on a sheet of noctilucent cloud.  Most beautiful, and of course I don’t have a sufficiently good camera to capture it.  The moon set behind the [...]

I has a sad

Thursday, August 30th, 2012

I can’t talk about it publicly but Jeff knows so I’m not alone. On the other hand, Repulsigans don’t understand sign placement.

Yesterday today tomorrow

Thursday, August 30th, 2012

Yesterday I bought wedding gifts, tidied, returned and picked up library books, and today I’ll do churchy things and work on the joint project Jeff and I have.  Tomorrow I will get together with Katie.  Keith charmed me yesterday by saying he will attend a meetup for socially awkward people. I have to say that [...]

Pile o work

Tuesday, August 28th, 2012

I am so glad to have done as much work as we did on our current project today, and we got a shop in as well. It’s also reaaaaallly nice to be at home in me own bed.

NW Polycamp 2012 was amazing

Monday, August 27th, 2012

Katie and I had an awesome time (despite sleep being a bit of a problem).  I’m not sure exactly what to put here, but the communication workshop we attended gave us both a lot to think about, and gosh, everybody was so NICE.  We could just relax and be ourselves and marvel at the rainbow [...]

Off camping in the States, back Monday

Thursday, August 23rd, 2012

Everybody take care and try not to break the internet while I’m gone.

woe is -aaack- me

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012

So I completely blew the interview yesterday – fell apart during the test.  I solaced myself with beer and lobster afterwards, so thoroughly downcast was I, and my Lumosity score fell like a rock this morning subsequent to me having two beers, so, note to self – alcohol does make you demonstrably dumber, please avoid [...]

Eye stye with my painful eye

Tuesday, August 21st, 2012

The folks where I interviewed very kindly called back and I have a second chance to demonstrate my willingness to work.  I have a stye in my left eye that hopefully won’t look too hideous. Margot is noisily cleaning herself. I broke the venetian blinds in my room the other day and have been getting [...]

Quote of the day

Monday, August 20th, 2012

Social media has turned modern friendship into a pixellated bar that serves kittens, soundbites and RPGs. – A Sloman. Tony Scott, noted director and producer and brother of Ridley, committed suicide by jumping off a bridge.  He left a note. He was 68.  Depression’s a hell of an illness, and my condolences to his family, [...]

Note to self

Sunday, August 19th, 2012

February 7 2010, what was I doing?  Well, apparently, according to my computer I completed the lyrics for and the accompaniment for a song of my composition (circa 2008) called “Mythical”. I completely lost any recollection of the song until I was reviewing what I had recorded in Garageband many many months later and then [...]

off my butt and out the door

Sunday, August 19th, 2012

Yesterday I spent 5 hours at the New West Pride Day celebrations staffing a table for Beacon, and then in the evening I went to the Heather Dale concert.  I didn’t want to do any of it but now I’m glad I did.    

Bizzy day

Saturday, August 18th, 2012

I have to go down to the church and pick up the banner and literature for New West Pride.  It’s going to be so Nixonianly hot today I might as well pre melt myself and pour myself in Margot’s water dish.  Then I get to come home, lie down in front of the ac for [...]

Called back for second interview already

Which is encouraging. Seth Green in a pornstache.
