More zombie goodness last night… Above is what I looked like when I got home. Luckily the fake blood didn’t stain anything, including my hair, but it’s a bitch getting that stuff in your eyes, for future reference (at least if you’re wearing contacts). I was half blind for a little bit there, but [...]

I used to think that picking your nose would stretch it out, and that’s why some people had big noses. Those people were the gold diggers. Well, that was my hypothesis, anyway. I knew that I didn’t have any supporting evidence, and I didn’t really have the means to carry out controlled experiments. So it [...]

I’ve been posting a lot about errands lately, haven’t I. Am I really that domesticated? Oh well, no time to think about that. I’ve got to go watch my stories and then maybe go get my hair done. And do some vacuuming. And plan dinner. And do my nails. Woop woop woop.

I bought a journal with lined pages instead of blank pages today, which is something new. I wonder if this will lead to the writing of actual sentences instead of just the scribbling of complete crap. We shall see.

Sean and I were about to check out when I remembered a couple of things I’d forgotten. He went ahead and got in line anyway, and when I came back there were two girls (together) in line behind him. He had already gotten close enough to the register to put the couple of items he [...]

I use Trillian. The message you get when you send me a message… the one that says “I am currently away from my computer”… it is automated. I do not type it by hand. And it means… get this… that I am currently away from my computer. Sending me messages in all caps, bold fonts, [...]

I had a lengthy dream last night about buying haircare products. I sit at home all day watching talk shows including Tyra, and I’m not entirely sure that I’m doing it ironically anymore. I make tuna casseroles. I am becoming concerned about the best way to get my whites their whitest, and my brights their [...]

I have already failed miserably at posting every day in November. Good thing I’m not trying to write a novel. I have written 87x more in my personal (paper) journal, though. Because you see, whenever I’m supposed to be doing something, even if it’s regularly my favourite thing to do, even if I’m the authority [...]

I’ve got stupider things to do than post here.
I’m going to go crimp my hair! Hurray!
Evidence shall be available later.
I will not be satisfied until I have a mane.

It is strange to examine the evidence of my past, and to discover happiness trying its damndest to sneak up behind me and bite me on the ass. Well, happiness, you’re not very sneaky, are ya. ‘Cause I caught you every time, and sent you packing. I have a curious feeling that nothing has changed. [...]

Know what I don’t miss? (Well, not that I can anymore.) PMS. I switched off of NuvaRing because of, er… female issues… (Sucks, because other than those issues it was much less of a pain in the ass than anything else I’ve tried.) Right now I’m using other methods, and whhheeeee… I forgot allllll about [...]

This is the story of how alcohol is responsible for the entire last fiveish years of my life.
I first met Sean on the interweb, because we’re just cool like that. He lived in La Porte, Indiana and I lived in Toronto, Ontario. Obviously a little hard to arrange dates for Friday and Saturday nights that [...]

Wow! Doing taxes is so much fun! Mhm. And I’m so glad that Sean keeps such impeccable records for Cyanotic. I think I give up for this weekend. Gotta save some of this for later, because I just love it so so much! On the bright side, I only have to file taxes in [...]

I will rationalize my propensity to rationalize. And if I fail to deceive myself, I’ll rationalize the residual malaise away, too. This can continue indefinitely. Everything is alright.

La lutte elle-même vers les sommets suffit à remplir un coeur d’homme; il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux.
I wish I could buy what you’re selling, Camus.
I’m giving myself a headache.

Or it would be, if only Sean paid any attention to anything I post online. Next chance I get, the Beetlejuice ringtone on our phone is so being replaced by “Yakety Sax”. No one knows the joy that it brings to me. Maybe I’m just slightly tipsy. Imma gonna get offa [...]

Peoples Energy, I shake my fist at you. $16.24 activation charge? For what? To change the information on the already existing, already working account? Don’t you think that if you are going to charge $16.24 for this service that you should make some effort to at least get that information right?
Who [...]

It finally came to me. The terrible, dreadful, awful, evil, nagging feeling I’ve been experiencing for at least the last year is impatience of a particularly anxiously irritating variety. If only this knowledge helped me in any way, whatsoever. And as far as I know, it will last indefinitely, because I haven’t [...]

It sure took them long enough (I mailed my application more than two years ago), but I got this e-mail today:
The following is the latest information on your case status
Receipt Number: MSC041041****
Application Type: I485 , Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status
Current Status:  
This case has been approved. On November 1, 2005, an [...]

The next time someone honks at me for not turning right on a green light when there are pedestrians are crossing the street, I think I will put my car into reverse. Okay, I won’t. But seriously, do they want me to run those people over so that they can get to work [...]

Who needs studies? I just got over a cold. Now I have another cold. I drink about eleventy-seven glasses of orange juice a day. I am led to believe that either vitamin C is useless, or that God hates me.
In any case, this is not fair. The universe is [...]

Rebuttal: 9-64-090 (k).
So, yeah. Nice new apartment in Chicago. In a residential parking zone. I just moved here. I do not have a city sticker. I do not have a residential parking permit. I do not have any of the 87 other things my car needs to be legal [...]

Just shelled out $340 to fix more broken parts of my car. I think that in future, it would be a better idea to set up a reciprocal agreement with somebody: if he will fix my car whenever it is broken, I will fix his computer whenever it is broken. Also, I am [...]

abc11tv.com: Is Someone Stealing Your Internet Connection?
Hells yes. I am stealing your internet connection right NOW, in order to read the article entitled “Is Someone Stealing Your Internet Connection”, and to post to my blog about stealing your internet connection. Sucker!

I don’t think I even mentioned that I was going anywhere… but you might have noticed a conspicuous silence. I’ve been out on tour for the last 10 days or so with Cyanotic, acting as official scantily-clad groupie / merch bitch. I’m still on tour actually… last day (not counting one more [...]
