because 2 weeks is long enough.
Of course, when you do as much in 2 weeks as I’ve somehow managed to do in *this* 2 weeks, yeah… it’s long enough with no updates. Let’s see… where best to start. Vell, I could always start with the usual, easy routine of what had me so busy that … Read the rest

Happy Canadia day!
Yes, I’ve been busy as hell. Such is the norm when it gets to be, well… any time between about mid-April to about mid-September. Perhaps mid-October if I have a reason to watch the world series. But the reason I’ve been off the blog wagon lately? I spent the week … Read the rest

Did I miss anything else while I was sleeping?
In a relative twist of my usually drama free life–thank God, as if there’s one thing I really hate it’s familial drama, the mother ended up calling this morning. Not entirely out of the ordinary… she usually picks a bad time to call. So we’re doing our usual conversing and … Read the rest

So um… where’s the problem?
Aboriginal bands have taken up arms against the almighty coffee chain for an admitedly stupid prank/joke thing pulled by one of its staff in an Alberta restaurant. Namely, taping a sign to the drive through window that said “No drunken indians allowed.”. Now, being part indian, and a *huge* fan … Read the rest

Road trippin!
As some of you know, and most of you don’t particularly care, my brother joined the military a few months back. And, as I said then and continue to say now, lord have mercy on this and every other country–they let that man control things that go boom. Okay, requisit … Read the rest

Happy valentine’s day/anniversary, where applicable.
Yesterday was my parents’ 25th anniversary. Today, of course, well… if you don’t know what today is then a sheltered life you do lead. Somehow, I think it was planned that way by at least one of them. I always like to believe I get my… um, questionable sense of … Read the rest

Apparently I have a house guest.
It would seem, for the next 6 weeks or so starting tonight, my apartment will again become a crash pad. This time, though, at least it’s for a decent reason–my uncle’s taking a course and, to be nice about it, there’s no way in hell he’s driving 1.5 hours here … Read the rest

Happy after New Year!
No, this isn’t going to be one of those regular occurances wherein I blog about things 2 or more days after they happen, or at quarter after 2 in the morning. Okay, scratch the second one. That one’s already a regular occurance. The new years party was awesome. A little … Read the rest

I need to go back to work to get some rest.
So I went back to Pembroke this weekend to give my parents a hand with decorating their Christmas tree, and–well, duh–because my mother was baking and well… enough said. We ended up doing that, finishing my Christmas shopping for the most part (ideas for Christmas gifts for mom, anyone?), then … Read the rest

Since when did my apartment become a crash pad?
So, as she’s wont to do, mom decided on like 48 hours’ notice that she’ll be staying at my place tonight for a doctor’s appointment tomorrow. And then, that she’d just kinda sorta wait around ’til I get off work tomorrow night. And then on 3 hours’ notice, apparently my … Read the rest
