I am so making this.I think it's absolutely beautiful. But to go with my decor, I might take a more red approach to it. And put it in my room, screw any nursery for my nonexistent child.I am also going to make this.I find it very aesthetically pleasing. And I have all these funky black and white photos of old industrial buildings. Last time I was in Seattle Matthew took me to this park called

So I'm finally moving into an apartment in Victoria next week. So stoked. Pender Island is lovely, but I am ready to be in a city again. My apartment is small, but cute and bright. The neighbours seem very cool and friendly, and there are many dogs for the Finnister to hang with. I will however be internetless in the new place. It's too small to fit my huge, dying, desktop in, and too much of a

A so called friend tipped me on this horrible firefox application, called stumbleupon. Basically you feed this website a list of your interests, and then with a push of a button it takes you to websites you might find interesting. I've now found crafts I want to make, recipes for good food, book recommendations, games, weird videos, cook pictures, cool pictures of books, shopping websites, etc.

I hate dieting.I hate it. And I hate that I'm not, nor have I ever been, one of these people who can eat how they want to, when they want to. I started putting on weight when I was 5. At that point I hadn't started to eat more than either my siblings, nor was I inactive (I was a competitive swimmer until I was 12, rode my bike everywhere, and ran around like all other kids). But it didn't matter.

Hello, helloI've decided to return to this lovely lovely blog. But I'm not sure if I'm going to tell anyone about it. Perhaps I will just see what happens. So in the latest news I have moved from E-town to the lovely 'rents home on Pender Island. It's a hard pill to swallow being 25, engaged, and by all accounts somewhat of a functioning adult and then having/needing to move back home. It makes

This kinda blew my mind. While at least the first few paragraphs did at least, then I got bored and stopped reading it. It is before noon on a Sunday morning after all...It's been a fun week more or less. On Tuesday I went to the Silversun Pick Ups/Ok Go/Snow Patrol concert, and was immensely happy I did so. Even with all the screaming teenage girls.I also quit the detox after four days. It was

So I have a new obsession. Whenever I have a spare hour or three I can be found watching Rome, one of the most addictive television shows I have ever seen.The first few episodes I spent my time trying to figure out how many of the actors I knew from various Jane Austen movie adaptations (Caeser is from Persuasion, old Octavia is from the new Pride and Prejudice, Atia is from Emma, Cicero is the

This is not something I enjoyed reading first thing this morning (link courtesy of 50books.blogspot.com).I hate generalizations, especially negative ones, and what I hate most is this is an assertion by a woman who should know better. You just can't say that about all (or most) women writers. 1. Because it's not true, and 2. Because the same thing can be said about men writers. Off the top of my

So with my new fancy "real" job, I've been commuting a lot more lately. I even broke down and bought a bus pass, which has made me the laziest person ever. When a month ago I used to walk to the grocery store or to Whyte or to the Library, I now bus. Mostly because if I'm paying $73 a month for the special Sherwood Park buspass I'm going to make it worth it!Anyway since I'm on the bus more, I've

Bluenotes was selling a t-shirt that said "NO means have aNOther drink".Cause rape is funny, right? And obviously men just want to have sex, they don't care how incapacitated their partner is, right? And it's much better to get a girl drunk until she can't say no, because she doesn't actually have to say yes, right?Oh those marketing geniuses, where will the hilarity stop?Oh wait...I'm a feminist

So I turned another year older a few short days ago. I have to say the entire birthday endeavor was a success. On Saturday Anick and I headed out to Blue Plate Diner for dinner, and then went to go see Music and Lyrics. And the movie was pretty good. The romantic comedies of late have been anything but inspiring, so it was nice to see a happy feel good movie with singing. However the best part of

I'm not even sure what to say about this.I think my favourite quote was about Betty Friedan:“Friedan was from her college days, and until her mid-30s, a Stalinist Marxist, the political intimate of the leaders of America’s Cold War fifth column and for a time even the lover of a young Communist physicist working on atomic bomb projects in Berkeley’s radiation lab with J. Robert Oppenheimer.”

Life has been very uneventful of late. My days are a mix of TV watching, errand running and Nintendo DS playing...oh and job applying. I'm finding umemployment and no longer being a student tedious and annoying. I'm the type of person who needs to have a purpose when I get up in the morning, a task or something. And I'm so used to pushing myself everyday that I don't think I'm very good at this

Find your own pose!Fireman's Carry is the pose of two people who are fully committed. They may feel reluctant to commit to anything else in their lives (Fireman's Carry couples tend to rent versus own, and respond to every invitation with a "maybe"), but their dedication to each other is unshakeable. Fireman's Carriers often arrive at this level of committment rather suddenly; after a lifetime of

So I am now unemployed and no longer a student. It feels pretty awesome. The last few days have been a blur of drinking and baking and watching TV and Christmas decorating and shopping and wrapping and visiting.Jackie and I signed a lease on Monday so as of January I won't be homeless, which is nice. Our new place is pretty awesome, with a great view of the river valley and lots of storage space.

Okay. Time to put something less depressing up here.I went to go see this fantastic play last night at the Roxy. It was called The Summer of my Amazing Luck and it was based on the book by Miriam Towes. And it was awesome.

Hey look at what the Tories did!So first they cut the funding to Status of Women in Canada. Then they removed the word "equality" from their mandate. 'Cause women are in fact equal in Canadian society, even though there's this fun thing called the "wage gap" (meaning that when matched for jobs and education level women are still only making 71 cents to every man's dollar), sexual assault and rape

So for the last few months I have been working with some lovely ladies on a little project to raise awareness about consent laws and sexual assault. On Wednesday we showed off all our hard work. We made six different types of buttons that advocated for consent, which was so much fun my dears. I desperately want a button making machine now (Aprig was kind enough to let us borrow theirs for free).

For those of you who don't live in E-town, we got a lot of snow this weekend. Which makes sense, all Albertans know that the first major snowfall always happens to fall on or around Halloween. Thus most little kids end up wearing "skier" costumes out trick or treating. Unfortunately a lot of adults haven't quite learned that lesson. I had an enjoyable evening at work on Saturday, watching many a

Today she linked to a list of 1001 books one must read before they die.I looked at it, and I've only read 54.

As I walk to and from school and work I have occasion to see a lot of graffiti. I have to say that Edmonton artists can be quite creative. I mean sure there is a lot of stupid and useless stuff out there, but there also seem to be many artists who understand that if their going to be defacing public (or private) property with a message, the message should be a decent one. Two particularly fun

Hello Internet,Life has been a little crazy these last few weeks. School is happening, and work is happening, and I seem to be slightly unwilling to give up my drunken ways of the summer, so that's been happening too. I've made many appearances at local bars, so much so that a guy came up to me at Halo on Friday and said he recognized me from my two night stint at the black dog that week. My two

Sorry for the lateness of this guys. The last week has been kind of intense and busy, with school and work and social interaction I haven't had a spare half hour to write this all out. But I want to get it out before I forget it all. Even now my time in Montreal seems like a dream, an awesome dream, but a dream all the same. I was so impressed by the city and how stress free and happy I felt

So Jenn dropped me off at the airport on Wednesday morning. It was pretty tricky getting up at seven, but somehow I managed it. I found the check in process surprisingly painless, which is pretty amazing considering I was dealing with Air Canada. The new security guidelines are pretty annoying though. They insisted on denying my right to lip baum. I also got to be one of the random searches nat

So I've been back in Edmonton for a few hours and that's been pretty awesome, but not as awesome as my little mini vacation. I feel I need a vacation to recover from my vacation. I averaged about 3 hours of sleep a night while in Montreal, drank way too much and saw more of the night than the day. And I have a few nutter stories, but I'm not sure how amusing they would be to people who weren't

The last few weeks have been a blur. This entire summer has been pretty fast now that I think about it. I can't believe August is here, let alone almost over. In a few short weeks I'll be starting my last semester at the U, going back to being part time at the book store, and (hopefully) settled into my newest home. Crazy.So Fringe is happening which means that work has been a little intense

Hey guys,I'm off for the weekend, heading a bit out of town for some cabin-y good times.You may not notice much of a difference, cause it's not like I update this thing that much, but if you email me and I don't get back to you, this is why.Later!

I wish I was rich. Or alternatively I wish I had some clue as to where I’ll be or what I’ll be doing after I finish school in December. It’s a lot harder to buy things when you remind yourself there’s a real chance you’re going to have to pack it all up and move it in a few short months. I mean I may stay in Edmonchuck or I may be moving back to BC or maybe I’ll just chuck it all and go live in

Okay. I'm annoyed.Yesterday I wrote a lovely long post about how happy I've been lately, how I'd had a lovely two days off from work, and about how productive I had been (cleaning, tending to my garden, cooking some very tasty food). And then my internet went down, and I wasn't able to publish it. And blogger doesn't let you copy your posts, for some reason. And since I had to reboot my computer

I work too much.I eat too much crap food when I work too much, and as such have put on a few pounds in the last few weeks. (Which makes me sad/angry. Oh body issues, will you ever go away?)I read Blink by Malcolm Gladwell in a dayI'm almost done a Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by David Eggers.I've seen some fun movies, gone to some great restaurtants.

Okay, I understand that I'm a little late on the Freaks and Geeks love. Having never watched it when it was on (a whole 6-7 years ago...anyone else feeling a little old here), I was recently lent the entire series on DVD. And man it's love. I'm not going to turn this post into a lament on how awesome TV shows never get the love from viewers they deserve, cause it's been done. And I really can't

I've decided to have a slacker day today. Well as much of one as possible at least. I did have to go grocery shopping this afternoon...but that really is the only errand-like constructive thing I plan to do today. And I only did it, because it's quite tricky to make myself a fabulous dinner with no food in the house.But other than that, I had no plans for the day. I need some major time away from

My computer is now officially hooked up to the world wide web. I'm one happy girl.Sadly the happiness that unlimited full access to the internet provides me has been overshadowed by the drunken idiots who made Whyte Ave such a bad place to be employed on Saturday night. I hate them all. So much so that I will never, ever, ever date a man who owns an Oilers Jersey. I just don't understand how your

I've gone into hibernation. Or at least tried to. There are a lot of books piled up beside my bed, that have been just begging for me to read them for the last eight months, and there are movies to be watched, and there are only so many hours in a day. But between my stupid job, and my charming co-workers making me be social, I haven't gotten to nearly as many books that I should have. Of course

Oh it's love all over again. Last night I was one of the lucky few who got to witness Death Cab and Franz Ferdinand rock the proverbial socks off an enthusiastic E-town crowd.Death Cab played a nice mix of newer stuff and older stuff, playing most of my favourite songs. The set was gorgeous with three layers of background, one buildings, one trees, and then two little houses on the stage. It was

Man my brain hurts. I find that I've pretty much given up on studying and am now just staring at pages and occasionally turning them. Even my pretty, pretty ipod can't keep me focused, and in fact is more likely a procrastination tool, than a study tool.Oh dear.I will be free and clear of this crap semester as of Monday at noon. Right now that seems like very close and very far all at the same

It's love guys. I've never felt this way about anything ever before. The moment I had it in my hands a wave of pure happiness exploded in me. I may have even jumped up and down and squeaked. But only thirty or so people witnessed that particular display, so it's almost like it didn't happen.So last night, instead of writing my stupid paper on how the media helps reinforce the social construction

It's all going to calm down after today. Today is the fifth night in a row I'm working (I'm technically a part time worker, how is this happening?), I had to give a crappy presentation today and I wrote a midterm that I didn't have enough time to study for. But by midnight tonight I will have less work and school obligations. Which is nice. I've been a very cranky person the last few days. I just

So that whole book new years resolution thing? Didn't happen this month. I'm actually about half way through Vanity Fair right now, but all my other holds started to come in at the library and people keep giving me books to read, so I put it down and forgot to pick it up.

Isn't it good enough that I'm here now?It is?Oh you are too good to me.In the last little while I've been reading too much, working too much, and attending classes too much.

I went to see this freaky and awesome movie tonight at the metro. It was called Mirrormask and comes from the nutter mind of one Neil Gaimen. It was partly animated, partly not and totally grand.The tale, in brief, is of a young girl who is a pretty funky artist, who one night awakens in her art work instead of her bed and must travel throughout the two cities she created to find a way to make it

Alright kids, as many of you know I spend many a hour a week tolling away at a bookstore for mere scraps. It's fun work though, mostly because I'm surrounded by a large quantity of one of my favourite inventions. The printed word really is an amazing device. It's amazing what words can evoke and even the most crappily written book (ie The Da Vinci Code) can inspire people's imagination. I've

So big hugs to Amanda, Anna, and Katty for venturing BC Ferries to come chill with me.Overall it was a great way to end the year, and get ready for the fresh start that comes with a brand new year.Speaking of the New Year,

I'm chillin' upstairs in the loft of my parents house. Overlooking the ocean and the mountains and a heck of a lot of trees. From this vantage point the only sight of civilization I can see is the occasionally ferry on it's way to Victoria or to one of the little islands. Of course if I turn my head slightly to the left, I'll see our neighbour's head, but I like to pretend. The last few weeks

So they made this new Pride and Prejudice movie. And I have to say I scoffed at them every step of the way, from the very fact they presumed to do it, and to do it casting Kiera Knightly as the lead. Both horrible ideas if you ask me.I'm quite proud you see and I love the 6 hour BBC version which made women (and some men) the world over aware of the lovely Colin Firth (forever known as THE Mr.

And it feels soooooo good.That's right kids, the papers from hell are completed, and the one and only final was written today. I am done with this crap semester, and to celebrate I've spent the last 24 hours disobeying my doctors orders and drinking like a fish.My tolerance is friggin low, yo!Love and kisses to you all. I'm going to have an AWESOME month to do what ever the hell I want!I'm so

Today is the anniversary of a pretty nasty event in Canadian history. One of those that reminds you of the dangers still facing women as a whole.http://www.livejournal.com/users/ponycow/280896.html

Sigh.It's really freakin' cold out here in E-town. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to stand it. The lettuce Amy bought the other day, froze in the 3 block walk from our house and the Safeway. It's only partly edible now...which makes me really sad. The wind and blowing snow, and -28 degree weather is making it more and more difficult for me to stay motivated to walk to and from school.

Sorry for the long absence kids, it's that time of year in every students life. I've finished two of my nasty term papers now, with only the most difficult one left...so that's somewhat of an accomplishment. Sadly I was using the other two to procrastinate on the tricky one, and now that they are finished, I find myself faced with something I really don't want to do.What I'd rather be doing of

I had an EEG this morning. Other than being very tired, and having a strobe light two inches from my face, the entire thing was pretty uneventful. The strobe was annoying and gave me a headache, and I have funny stuff in my hair from the electrodes, but no seizure was induced.I'm not sure how I feel about that. It could mean one of two things: 1) there is nothing going on with my brain, and the

I went to this amazing film today at the Garneau. It's been years (literally) since I'd been to that theater and I was reminded how much I love the atmosphere of the small one screen theater. The movie was Water. I beautiful film about the plight of widows in India. Just thinking about the movie brings tears to my eyes, and goosebumps to my arms. So seeing it has made me a bit of an emotional

Upon stepping into the Save on Foods on my way home from school today, NOVEMBER SECOND, I heard the following refrain: "On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, FIVE GOLDEN RINGS....". I would have left the store in protest, simply because it is MUCH TOO EARLY to be hearing such songs, but they had an avocado sale on. So I stayed. As I was leaving Auld Lang Syne started up.'Tis the

So.Last night at work was another interesting one. I'm not sure what it is about Thursday nights. It's like all the crazies come out after like 9, and they feel like coming into my store and annoying me.Everyone remember a few weeks ago (on a Thursday night mind you) that we had some pee-ers on the roof? Well guess what? Around 10 or so we had these two drunk kids come in through our back door

Hey kids, I'm back!Not that I've been really gone for a long time or anything. Unlike some people.... (not so subtle hint for others to update their blogs already.)Anyway, life, she's been crazy of late. But things are looking to be settling down. At least on the school front. I've made myself a promise to not touch anything school related (other than attending classes) until Monday. Giving

This was posted over at this is not over. It gives one, such as myself, a little bit of perspective on things here in Canuck-ville.I do have lots of things to write about, including the most beautiful books I've ever seen, but it will have to wait. I have an essay to write and I feel way too guilty about even posting this.Later my dears!

Last night I headed over to the Sugarbowl for my first ever Stitch n' Bitch. I've been working on my clock for ages and I really needed the motivation to keep at it. And this provided it. What could be more fun than sitting in a charming coffee shop with lovely people, knitting.I was one of the more advanced knitters there. Which suited me just fine. I helped one knitter cast off, and showed

Last night three men (boys?) peed off the roof of my store on to the slightly busy Whyte Ave. Also last night, a group of high and/or drunk teenagers spilled beer they had snuck into the store all over themselves and a few books. I'm questioning humanity today.

So I'm sitting in a big room of computers here on campus, 'cause really why would I get started on the mountain of readings I have to do, if I can surf the net instead.Today I discovered that not all sayings are complete bullshit. I got on a bike early today for the first time in 12 years. And not only did I only wobble for a second, but I had no problem whatsoever staying upright. So it's true.

Wow. 200. I feel like I should be celebrating or something. At least doing a dance of some sort. Sadly my feet are still hurting from my weekend of running, walking, standing around and dancing in heels, so perhaps I shall just stay in my chair.This weekend I headed to one of the flatter provinces to see two friends commit to love one another 'til death do they part. It was a lovely affair

I very much enjoyed myself this evening. We headed over to The Mall to the worst venue in the history of venues to take in Bell Orchestra, Wolf Parade and The Arcade Fire.Wolf Parade stole my heart a few weeks ago when Yamers started downloading them, and they did not disappoint in any way, shape or form. I'm even thinking of forgoing food for a few days so I can buy their CD...I'll keep ya'll

Today I found a camera in my cereal. A free camera, with Tony the Tiger on it.I remember back when I was a young lass begging my parents for a camera. My first camera was a Polaroid, given to me for Christmas when I was ten. It was pink and grey and beautiful. My parents had created a theme with my present that year, also giving me a photo album with 'Trolls' on the cover and film (my mom always

I'm trying to be a good student this year. Especially since I discovered a graduate program at an awesome university that is pretty much exactly what I want to do. So far I've stayed up to date on all my readings, and have even read the supplementary stuff I'm not required to read. And today I thought I'd actually get started on my first assignment that's due in 9 days.BUT I CAN'T!!!The WebCT is

You scored as Postmodernist. Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.What is Your

I'm feeling better today. I really can't focus on myself for such long periods of time, I get bored. I think what really helped me break my mood though, was one Ms. Spears.I would like to thank the early reports that had Brit naming her precious son Preston Micheal Spears Federline, or as some have pointed out PMS Federline.Another report I read had her naming him Sean Preston. Which isn't nearly

He was a very nice man. Ends up I have no brain tumor.That was the good news.The bad news is he didn't really know what happened in my brain. My tests all came back normal, but of course if it was anything but normal that would mean it was a brain tumor. He's sending me for a sleep deprivation EEG in a few months. Doesn't that sound like a good time? Basically if we make me sleepy it irritates my

I already updated once today, but I thought I'd just drop a line to let everyone know how awesome the neurologist I have to see's secretary is. She's gotten me an appointment with the good doctor on Wednesday morning. So I only have to wait until then to figure out what went wrong on Saturday. Are you excited? Cause I am!

I'm still alive and standing today, which normally wouldn't seem like a big deal, but in light of recent events feels like a major accomplishment. I slept on and off all day Sunday, which was beautiful. In my waking moments I did my readings for the week, or chatted on the phone, or visited with people. It was a fun way to spend the day. Much more fun than my original plan of going to work. Blah.
