Deep thought moment…

“Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying in front of a beautiful sunset? And he’s carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he’s carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you’re drunk.”
- Jack Handy

Damn, life’s good!

Yay! Roger is in town!! I’m so glad I got out to catch up with him last night. He’s in from Timbuktoo (okay, I’ll admit, I can’t remember the name of the town, but it’s way the hell out there), Alberta, and is enjoying the veritable balmy weather we’re having here in [...]

It’s all fun and games until someone loses a peg!

Yesterday was a day of extremes! Jeremy, Jenn and I started off the afternoon at the “Everything About Sex Show” at the trade and convention centre — And I certainly had my eyes opened some! It was a fun experience wading through hourdes of people all there to gawk at the same things [...]

The didgeridoo is my new favourite instrument

I’m thankful that Jeremy suggested that we start our evening out at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Gastown last night before heading off to the Westin Bayshore Hotel. If my head wasn’t pounding so damn hard this morning, I’d have a huge smile on my face right now. We had sooo much fun [...]

It’s a good day, when —

After lining up for your usual Starbucks infusion, the barista pulling your shot asks, hey, do you want an extra shot for free?
Your day starts off with your favourite song playing on the radio
You walk into work and the first email you see is from the guy you like giving you a digital “wink”
Your hair, [...]

Happy ski night day!

Last night’s visit with Jenn was really awesome. It’s been quite a while since her and I have gotten together and caught up with each other’s lives. I can’t explain it, but I can talk to Jenn about anything, and know that she understands and isn’t judging me. As a matter of [...]

Better late…

As usual, I’ve had a busy few days, and this week doesn’t show any signs of letting up. Phew… I love being busy — Heck, it keeps me out of most trouble (Not all, but what fun would that be, right?) and I like to know I have things coming up to look forward [...]

I’d forgotten what getting flowers is like.

Long stem red roses were delivered to my office yesterday! How sweet is Jeremy? It’s been sooo long since I’ve received flowers from a guy that my mouth dropped. Add in the fact that I’ve never had flowers delivered to me, at work or anywhere else for that matter, and I was [...]

Rain + Ski Hill = BRRRRR

I’ve decided as much as I love skiing, skiing in the rain isn’t so much fun! Granted, the conditions enabled me to have better control on the hill, thus reducing the panic factor which I tend to have go through the roof when I’m skiing on pure ice… But the rain makes the night [...]

A wake-up call, so to speak.

Something happened last night on the way to the theatre down the road, in Coquitlam, that really affected me.
We were driving along Lougheed Hwy. at about 6:45 last night. It was dark, and raining lightly. Up ahead, we could see what looked like a traffic jam, and a whole bunch of flashing lights. [...]

Great party last night!

Jason and Zoë, you guys give great parties! I had a total blast last night catching up with everyone, and meeting some new people, too. It was awesome to celebrate Jenn and Paul’s engagement amung so many neat people… Two thumbs up you guys! Jenn and Paul looked incredibly happy, (see pictures [...]

Catching up with friends — Always a good Friday night passtime!

After an extremely hectic day at work, it was really nice to finally cut out and meet up with Ed for dinner at Milestones — Even though, at the beginning of the meal, he was a little short on conversation. Upon asking him later in the evening what was up, he said the quitting [...]

2nd date, and on to a third!

What a great night I had last night on my second date with Jeremy. (Yes, I asked him if I could use his name.) We started off the evening with a quick dinner at Aqua Riva down the road… They still have great food there, and I love the view at night of [...]

That’s a first.

I got to talking to the guy that I went out on a date with on Monday night, last night. He’s fun… I quite like him. Well. Um. I gave him this URL, on a whim. I never do that! I trust that when and if he reads this [...]

As much as I love my car –

– Sometimes I wish I had a front wheel drive again. There’s noooo way I’ll be going anywhere today. I was told last week that the caretaker for this building has a bad back, so he won’t be out there shoveling the incline that my car would have to climb to get out [...]

2004 — And back to work!

Monday. Monday after the Christmas break. Monday after the Christmas break, when I’ve slacked off for two weeks. No matter how you slice it… it’s messy!!
I hope that everyone had a great New Year’s! Mine, for the first time in a very long time, was extremely enjoyable, and without any major [...]
