I know you don’t love Halloween, but I have to ask – are you doing anything special?
I suppose that depends on what you consider special. Tonight we will be closing the windows and pulling the curtains tight so that I don’t have to see the bonfire sparks or smell the lovely aroma of burnt tyres. [...]

It’s All Relative

I love this sign. I love how vague it is. They might have two spaces or they might have twenty-two spaces, but you’re not going to find out until you get in the queue with no recourse but to wait it out. It must require a lot of soul searching before parking. Are you willing [...]
Chicken Soup
Posted in Uncategorized on October 29, 2008 | 10 Comments »
I could really use some hot chicken soup right now since it’s SNOWING in my little corner of the city. The play school kids are all running around the courtyard trying to catch the teeny tiny flakes. Strangely enough, it’s not snowing about four blocks away at Larry’s office. Guess the universe doesn’t like him [...]
Weekend Review

I know it’s a day late, but not really because we had a bank holiday again this weekend and Larry and I made the most of it by doing absolutely nothing.
Friday – I finished up work around lunch time and spent the afternoon watching Sex and the City and eating toffee popcorn. If I had [...]
Question of the Week

I’ve been debating for days now whether or not to post this question. On the “don’t post” side of things are (1) it could be a total joke, (2) it could be a translation error type of thing and (3) I may have missed the context for the question. On the “post” side of things [...]
Five Feel Better Films
Posted in Uncategorized on October 23, 2008 | 8 Comments »
I’m not talking “feel good” films here, I’m talking “feel better” films. That is, films so unchallenging and awful that they make you feel better just watching them. I’ve been turning to these with annoying frequency lately so I figured I should share some of my all time favourites.
5. 30 Days of Night. This one [...]
Last Resort

Beth: I don’t want to watch that! Nothing that talks about taxes, fines, levies, stocks, bonds, funds, currency exchange, mortgages, sales, property or… anything else like that.
(Pause)
Larry: We’ll watch the football then.
OMG, BFFs!

I have the greatest friends. No, really. Boy, girl, young, old, here, there – it doesn’t matter, my close friends are amazing. More often than not they know exactly what I mean, even when I’m not so sure of it myself. For example:
10. You’ve got like… wings… just there….
9. Your butt looks huge. Really, really [...]
Weekend Review

Very quiet weekend around here following last week’s Brussels excitement. Larry went down to visit his family and I stayed home and tried to shake a temperature. But I had ants in my pants so I couldn’t sit still. I did some chores, a little bit of work, finished reading my book, got some groceries, [...]
