The 1000th ‘Tweet’ Cometh

  By Uncategorized

It puzzles me to find that I am approaching 1000 ‘tweets’ on Twitter. Why? Because I have ‘tweeted’ nearly 1000 things, only the last two ‘tweets’ of which I can remember. Of course many of those were probably ‘retweets’ of interesting news and comical things people also ‘tweeted’, so it wasn’t all for naught. I just thought I’d give you fair warning. The 1000th ‘tweet’ cometh, and, baby, it gon’ be REAL. Share the post “The 1000th ‘Tweet’ Cometh” FacebookPinterestShare…Email Continue reading

They All Must Scoop

For a long, long time as past housemates will agree, Rico has had a problem with barfing daily all over the place. The vet suggested he simply has a weak stomach, or he’s eating too fast. Well, one day after a good petting session, Rico stood up and started to cough up a hairball. It was to no avail. I went out and bought a kittymalt the next day, which I’ll admit I’ve been pretty lax in giving him, but it seemed to help the… Continue reading

How to get out of your phone contract

  By Uncategorized

I’m having a lot of problems with my phone lately, and to be honest, I don’t like paying a system access fee for no reason (of course, there are SAF-free plans now with Telus, but they cost about the same as/more than it would to stay on my plan with the SAF). So, here, along with some evidence from another cell phone representative (and friend) to whom I’ve spoken personally about this, is proof that you can cancel your bill without that pesky minimum $20/each… Continue reading

Having an Alan Cross/Lasik moment

  By Uncategorized

Here’s the inside scoop. I’m someone who likes to spend money, and still have more for later. Flyerscoupons.ca makes me feel like a mom should. As the bass booms from the housing next-door, I am cutting coupons sent to me by Save.ca and pro-planning my shopping trips using FC’s tidy, organized website for people who enjoy savings. Not only do I find out about super deals, but people post about where to use which coupons to save the most money! It’s also a really friendly… Continue reading

Grass is always greener and the sky is bluer too

Well, Jim Beam, it’s a sunny, sunny day out and you’re stuck inside doing the laundry. You think of all the silly things you could be going outside and getting into, and every one of them seems even more thrilling than the last. You’re a real jack-in-the-box, Jimmy. So your mind is racing with the possibilities and the fun that you aren’t having. Ding, goes the timer. You hobble down to the laundromat with that second load of burden, turn the handle to the door… Continue reading

Apples : Oranges

When this whole Vancouver 2010 thing started, it was greeted by polar opposites: Olympic hysteria, and the Olympic hate-on. I’ll be honest. I didn’t care at first. I didn’t understand why some people would buy three (3) toques with the Vancouver 2010 logo on them for $24.99 apiece. (Okay, I still don’t.) I had no plans to join any ‘BOYCOTT TEH OLYMPICS ZOMG!!1’ Facebook groups, but I wasn’t planning on watching any of it. Somewhere down the line, it reeled me in. I think the… Continue reading

The Times They Are A-Changin’

  By Uncategorized

I think I’ve been getting bitten by a spider in my sleep for a week or so. Waking up with small swollen bumps in places too widely dispersed for it to be a rash or fleas (thank god), I had wondered what was plaguing me. For some reason, a spider never came to mind. We were watching Survivor last night when Miklos suddenly hopped over me, grabbed a tissue, and grabbed something from my cushion. Turns out my Little Miss Muffet-head was about to get… Continue reading

You’ll have to forgive me; I’ve never been anywhere.

Big news! Miklos and I are going to Hungary in April! This still really hasn’t sunk in for me. Except that tomorrow when I wake up, I’m positive I’ll realize the reality of it. I’ve never been on a big plane; I’ve never seen the ocean, let alone crossed it; I’ve never been in a total state of culture shock; I’ve never been in a country where I have so little a realistic idea of what to expect, except for what someone has told me.… Continue reading

Representin’.

I gave up on the 365, rather quickly it would seem. It was no good, and I felt like it was holding me back. Or obligating me. I’d rather just picturize when the mood strikes me, or when something cool presents itself. Tomorrow, our little Mixi (who has recently taken to becoming a woman) goes in to get spayed. Good luck, cat! We’ll see you on the outside. In the meantime, she and the other two have to fast for the night (or, we’ll just… Continue reading
