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.

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 [...]

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 they [...]

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 [...]

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?

The correct answer [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

…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 (felt [...]

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 [...]

“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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

You absolutely *have* to go and read this eBay ad. Unfortunately, the item was sold. (DARN!!) Perhaps there’s another pair on eBay, though?
…Don’t forget to read the questions to the seller at the bottom of the auction.
(Thanks Al! Perfect way to end off my workday!)

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 your [...]

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 myself:
1. My eyes
2. My hair when it’s acting the [...]

I woke up this morning with a migraine. My head felt like it was slowly being ripped off from the base of my neck… It wasn’t a pleasant sensation at all.
My head is still hurting with a dull roar, but it’s feeling a ton better than it was this morning. Up until this [...]

Let me tell you about this evening.
I was on a third date tonight. He made me dinner — The meal was quite enjoyable, and one he obviously put time and effort into. We made small talk for a while afterwards, but quite honestly, I didn’t get the sense that he was [...]

I had such a great night tonight! First, I met up with Al and Quentina at Central Bistro on Denman to have a few drinks and enjoy some jazz… Those two are so much fun. I’m glad I met them through Donna’s site/comments a few months ago!
Then, I was off to Commercial Drive [...]

Just a little haha for the day…
1) Go to Google
2) Type in “failure” without the quotes
3) Press the ‘I’m feeling lucky’ button (instead of the google search button)
4) Laugh
5) Tell your friends
Alternate: type failure into your address bar, and hit go/enter. Same should happen.
