Happy HALLOWEEN! I had a really good weekend, but now I’m so tired that I need another one to recover! I’m currently clutching a quadruple non-fat, no-whip, grande mocha in my hand while typing this and hoping that the caffeine will kick in soon — This is going to be a very busy week coming [...]

For the first time in my entire life, I’ve overdosed BADLY on chocolate. How can a girl eat too much chocolate??! I feel ill, and it’s a disgusting feeling — Made worse by the fact that this feeling was entirely self-enduced. Blech.

I’m feeling horribly sad today because I won’t be going to Victoria with my rowing pals… Head of the Gorge and Head of the Elk is this weekend, and I still don’t have a set crew. That, and I am just finally feeling like myself after months of being quite sick. Last year’s trip was [...]

I feel compelled to write about this, not necessarily because it’s an issue right now for me, but because I know a lot of other single chicks in this city are going through this or similar situations in their dating life… Take note, single guys, these thoughts are for you: Many women do not admit [...]

My Step-Mother sent me this from work… I thought it was cute: The following short quiz consists of 4 questions posed to professionals recently by Anderson Consulting. The questions are not that difficult, but don’t read the answer until you have answered the question yourself! 1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? [...]

Mmkay. I don’t feel like being in the office this morning. It’s a beautiful morning outside, and I’d really rather be on my motorcycle riding over the bridge pictured to the right at the moment, rather than cooped up in my office working on PHP coding. I’m really enjoying this project, don’t get me wrong… [...]

Surprisingly and with great disappointment, most coffee in Vancouver, a city where coffee connoisseurs outnumber wine connoisseurs, is truly horrible. I’d know. I’ve been spoiled by excellent roasting, quality beans, and baristas that know how to pull a shot properly. These past few days have been about misadventures in coffee. Due to my very sore [...]

…To start off a Monday morning. For heaven’s sake, my luck with health this year has been somewhat lacking to say the least. I just can’t believe this year — I am wondering what I did in a previous life to deserve this? On my long, long, long, loooooong, 1.5 block walk to work today [...]

What a thoroughly enjoyable weekend! My date on Friday was really great! It included one of my favourite bottles of wine, a delicious steak, a cross-dressing, sequin-wearing lip-syncing dude (no, that wasn’t my date), a lot of laughs, a couple of martinis, a jazz singer, a beer by candlelight… and a really fun guy. Needless [...]

Geez! I don’t even know what I did to my big toe, but the nail bed seems to be infected, and the pain is surging up my leg. I was awoken by the throbbing toe last night at 3am, so I soaked it in soapy water, and tried to slather it with polysporin — And [...]

“If I ever opened a trampoline store, I don’t think I’d call it Trampo-Land, because you might think it was a store for tramps, which is not the impression we are trying to convey with our store. On the other hand, we would not prohibit tramps from browsing, or testing the trampolines, unless a tramp’s [...]

I think it’s because I have a very, very long night ahead of me. I have a bunch of work that has been on the backburner that absolutely needs my attention tonight, because tonight is the only night I have free to take care of it. I should have finished it all off last night, [...]

Hey all… I’ve got a really quick job for someone who can translate from English to Canadian French. The only thing is, I need a really fast turn-around. It’s about one page of English that needs to be translated, and I don’t trust Babelfish or other similar programs. I would like real conversational Québécois. Des [...]

Russ tagged me, so I thought I would comply… Three names I go by: 1. Tan 2. “T” 3. Tanya (…rarely, unless someone really wants to get my attention) Three screen names I have had: 1. NetChick 2. Onlinechick 3. MegaBitch (back when I played Quake online, years ago) Three physical things I like about [...]

I regularily receive emails directly with regards to content on my blog… And today, one of my visitors emailed me with a question that I thought might help other single people out there, if I opened it to discussion here. Here’s an excerpt from her email: (posted with permission) Hi Netchick! I’ve enjoyed lurking on [...]
