After a hard labour day helping Vern bring his condo up to rentable condition, I rushed off to meet up with Col and Sandi for a movie night. We saw “A Very Long Engagement” — A well written, really well developed plot, with an excellent cast of superior actors… With the same director [...]

Having roommates at times is incredibly irritating. Yes, I know you are reading this, but it’s my blog, and I talk about things that frustrate me sometimes… Self censor if you don’t want to read this.
I get home last night after meeting up with Sandi at The Lift (the new restaurant near Cardero’s) after [...]

Our problems in Canada are truly small, on the most part, considering what others in the world are faced with. With more than 60,000 confirmed dead due to the recent quake and resulting tsunami, this can only be labelled purely devastating.
I wish I could do more, but at least I can help out in [...]

I’m a few days early, but I’m done with being single. I love the stress-free/carefree lifestyle it offers me… However, I’m now cuddle deprived, and wanting to settle down with someone truly special.
Gone are the days that I date men who are only after a booty call. Really — Guys, have some respect. [...]

No single, hot male under my tree this year…! I guess it would have helped had I actually *put* a tree up?
I did, however, have a spectacular Christmas! It just felt so great to spend time with my family and friends, without thinking about anything other than catching up with them. What [...]

Merry ho ho, everyone!
I hope this Christmas message finds everyone in good health, and making plans to spend Christmas with their loved ones.
I can’t wait to have some fun with the kids this year — My neices and nephews are all at an age when they can truly enjoy the day. And, [...]

Here is mine, because I can’t miss out!
Three names you go by
1) Tan
2) Tee
3) Netchick
Three things you like about yourself
1) My creativity
2) My positive attitude
3) My passion for life
Three things you don’t like about yourself
1) I can be too quick to judge
2) I sometimes can’t let go of issues I’m passionate about
3) I put [...]

I’m in an incredible mood! I’m finally in the Christmas spirit, and today I had to literally stop myself from skipping into the office. Wheeeeeee!
The drugs might be helping. (Just kidding) Honestly though, I look around and see the beauty that is our surroundings on a crisp, yet mild morning here in [...]

It’s confirmed. I’m not getting my car back.
Canadian Direct has decided it’s prohibitively expensive to repair, so I guess that’s yet another thing I need to do this week… Try to find a replacement vehicle. Nothing will compare to my Lexus at that price range (what I’m assuming they’ll offer me, anyhow) so [...]

If getting a tooth whitened from the inside out doesn’t sound painful… You’re wrong! OUCH. I am alarmed at how painful that procedure was today. It’s not even the tooth that is hurting now that the freezing is wearing off. It’s actually the gum and surrounding tissues where my dentist took [...]

Take that, you stupid comment spammers!!!!!!!
Heheheh… YAY! I went from about 100 spammed comments a day, submitted by about 10 spammers over the last few months, to absolutely none after I made my changes. I think this time, they’ll stick.
What did I do? Several things:

changed the name of both my [...]

I’m *so* tired tonight. It turned into an extremely long day, as I was up fairly early this morning to pick up a few things before heading to the Club to help setup for the Holiday Social that we were putting on for the rowing section.
I guess I should have gotten to bed sooner [...]

Ho Ho Holy crap — It’s the 17th of December already, with just over a week until Christmas, and I don’t feel that Christmas spirit at all yet this year. I haven’t even felt compelled to throw on the Christmas cds! I’ve been avoiding the malls, and therefore have bought two whole gifts [...]

Imagine you aren’t a standard Vancouverite, and you don’t have any problem making conversation with women here in town… Do you know what finger the wedding ring is located on? Do you look for it before you initiate conversation?
The other day, a friend of mine said I shouldn’t wear any rings — It confuses [...]

I regularily complain about the fact that men don’t approach me here in Vancouver. They don’t. But, tonight I’m out renting a movie at Blockbuster, wearing my lounge clothes and a baseball cap to boot… And this guy starts talking to me about movies. It seems he can’t pick one, or at [...]

Oh. My. God. I do *not* want a Toyota Corolla for my next car. Yuck. I rented a car from Enterprise last night, and all they had left was that. I was supposed to get a premium car replacement, but instead, I actually have to *use my arm* to roll down [...]

As an aside, because to be honest, I could use a little distraction:
(I found this on Nelson’s site, and finally had a moment to post it here)

Reply to this post if you want/need me to tell you how cool you are!
Watch my blog over the next little while for a post just about you and [...]

Yesterday started out pretty aggrevating, but it got a lot better.
That was, until I got home after going out for a dinner and a movie last night to pick up my car so that I could drive my Mom home. That’s when it all went horribly wrong…
Imagine this: The elevators are still pretty [...]

As I mentioned the other day, I had an extremely important meeting today to obtain funding for R&D for the company that I’ve recently entered into an employment agreement with. (As a matter of fact, I signed the agreement today — So I officially belong to someone else at the beginning of the new year, [...]

During my adventures last night, I found myself waiting endlessly in a lineup while “The Drink” was switching over from granolaville (I’m not kidding) to house/trance at 11pm, or more like 11:30 by the time we actually made it inside — And I got to talking to a couple in front of us in the [...]
