It’s the MID-WEEK Socializing Game!

Hey guys! It’s that time of the week, again… Time to socialize on the fly! (And, I’ll have one of those shots in the photo, please!)
Here’s how it works: I’ll start with a question, and the first person answers my question, and then asks a different question for the next person in the [...]

YAY, Friday’s here!

TGIF, everyone!
Phew… That was a busy week for me. And, the next couple coming up look to be just as busy.
I headed out to the BCAMA speaker series evening with Monica last night… And, I really enjoyed the speaker’s topic (thanks for inviting me to join you, Mon!). I think I should get [...]

People keep asking me…

Why am I wearing my hair up, all the time?
Uh, because my last hair cut sucked? That’s why. It’s so damned short, and because of that, outrageously curly. And, I really hate frizzy, curly hair on me. Like, really.
Oh, and I forgot to mention about my negative experience during the cut… [...]

Things are gonna change some, around here

Hi guys!
I hope you had a good weekend! I did!
Friday night, I elected to have a quiet evening at home with a friend. We played Guitar Hero III (with two guitars, because I’m an idiot, and didn’t read the instructions on the first guitar and thought it was broken so I bought a [...]

Crap. I did it again.

Granted, I do need to make some changes in my life, *again*. But, I got myself into such a tizzy the other night — I called up anyone who would listen to me grumble. And then, I looked at the calendar today.
For F* sake. Why do I do this? Every three [...]

Post weekend post…

I had a really great weekend…
Friday night provided for some much-needed “me” time. I’ve almost finished reading “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle (a full post on that coming up later this week) and I am still awed by what I’ve been learning while reading each chapter. It’s not an easy book [...]

Okay, so maybe I’m vain.

Today is the day that I’m going in for injectable cosmetic filler. And, although needles don’t normally bother me… I’m a bit anxious about this one.
The reason? I’m getting “Restylane” injected into my cleft lip scar. Granted, since the scar was revised back in 2001, it’s appearance has been greatly minimized (and [...]

This is me, using ’smile therapy’.

I’m kinda grumpy today. I have my reasons. I wish I could write them here, but it wouldn’t be appropriate.
So, instead, I’m pasting a smile on my face because that’s all I can do.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
How’s your day going?
(ps: Don’t forget to enter to win the contest below! …And the [...]

Let’s get NAKED!

It’s the third year of going naked… On April 9th, thousands of bloggers will be doing it! …Going “CSS Naked” that is.
So, tomorrow, when you visit this site, I’ll be going naked, too! What’s the point of this exercise? Simply put, this event is to promote Web Standards. And, of course, by [...]

Hey Kids! Don’t miss out on…

Third Tuesday Vancouver! …It’s coming up on, you guessed it… The third Tuesday of this month. (April 15th to be exact, for those that can’t count)
This month, we’ve got another fabulous speaker: Monica Hamburg.

Social media often blurs the lines of consumer and producer, and “Crowdsourcing” is a perfect example of this [...]

Look Ma, no nose.

I’m back at work. Barely. Somewhere along the way, I’ve lost my nose. Or, at least it feels like I have. I still feel like death, but at least I’m getting something done before I decay into a giant blob of gunky grossness.
Vern sent this to me today. I thought [...]

Someone stop that Mack truck!

Dammit. I’m really ill.
It wasn’t actually allergies (at least, I don’t think it was) on Saturday late afternoon — It was the onset of this really bad virus attack I probably caught on Friday night.
By yesterday, my throat felt like someone had taken razer to it. And last night, my sinuses were throbbing. [...]
