oy – the crazy, it burns

Monday, November 12th, 2012

Re a livejournal ‘friend’.   WTF?  Okay, so you’ve banned me from commenting, but why?  Either it’s because one of your friends breaks out in pustules at the very mention of my name, or because I said something to offend you personally… and of course I’m being given no opportunity to improve my behaviour.  I [...]

Patricia and Damian get married.

Sunday, September 2nd, 2012

My friend Patricia married her sweetie Damian last night on the rooftop of the Loden hotel.  The bride was radiant in a simple cream gown, the groom beaming with happiness, the weather was glorious, the bar was open (I drank two tiny glasses of champagne and three beers over 6 hours; by the time I [...]

I’ll be the only one who thinks it’s funny

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

Most of you reading this don’t have facebook, which is where I hang out much more than this blog these days.  Paul just put up that he’s In a Relationship with Janice Murray, and it’s complicated.  Oh yes.  My poor response to his relationship with Janice Murray is why our 24 year relationship went into [...]

Things to be happy about

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

I am happy because I get to drive Jeff’s car for two days so he can ferry his friends to and from the ferry.  Cause my car has you know like four seats. My car, except for the verklimmt idle racing once in a while (up and down between 800 and 1200 rpm) is running [...]

quhat a day

Monday, October 11th, 2010

Quhat being Scots dialect for What. The night before I didn’t contact the volunteers.  I was SO anxious and phobic that I literally could not pick up the phone.  (Most of the time I’m not affected by anxiety to that extent but making phone calls is really hard for me, and I’m trying to work [...]

Grr-thwack

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

Zombie walk this aft.  Katie K and I will meetup at the Art Gallery and drag our shambling carcasses down the parade route.  I can haz corn syrup and food colouring, and clothes to sacrifice. Oh yes, there will be pix. Church meeting earlier this afternoon.  I’m an invited guest rather than a regularly scheduled [...]

Derailing for Dummies

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Or, how to teach privileged people to win arguments against marginalized people.

and your whiny-ass cry-baby opinion would be?

Friday, August 28th, 2009

It’s a solidarity thing. Now we know!  I hate crying.  I feel sick afterwards, unless I’m crying from happiness, like I did during that harbour to harbour flight while realizing that I wanted to live on the west coast, and when Katie was born and I knew she was a girl.

I am about to have very very very exciting news

Friday, March 20th, 2009

More around 6 pm, when I live blog it.   PS, Paul & kinder I know I was s’posed to have dinner with you guys but this is way more exciting.  Sorry.

Why I blog

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

Take that, people who say it’s nothin’ but narcissism. Also, I have a terrible memory and a blog helps me remember when things happened. Also, Katie has used my blog to help her remember when distressing and horrific things, as reported by me, happened. Yesterday Paul and I drove up-island to visit his cousin Ruth [...]

Peaceful

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

I really like this neighbourhood. The crows didn’t cooperate yesterday. Prime Minister Harper has just announced that Highway 11 between Saskatoon and Prince Albert is going to be twinned.  I’ve been up that highway to go here. Keith slept over.  He really is one of my favorite people, and I love him more all the [...]

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

As we all know, forgiveness is easy as pie, and nobody ever has a hard time with it. Yeah, right.
