This morning I started to count calories, something I’ve never ever ever done (and said I’d never do) in my life. It’s apparently a year of firsts, as I’ve also begun on a treadmill. Turns out I like it better than walking outside in terms of getting exercise (as opposed … Read More ›

I just got me a fantastic deal on an IBM Thinkpad r40. $400 for a laptop, dude! And it’s smoking fast for such a tiny, older machine. I’m typing this from my bedroom. Whee! It’s really going to be for my studio, so that when I take photos of my … Read More ›

clearly, i busted my site’s design. probably you don’t hate it as much as i do; humour me and hang in there while I try to fix it. i possibly never want to see another computer ever again.

I went to see Kathy again last night. It was a calmer, more relaxed evening – well, in that I had no huge epiphanies. Mostly, anyway. We discussed my week, which was mostly gleeful and happy. I had spent the night before with Laird hanging out at dollarama and value … Read More ›
