Just so you know I’m alive

Just so you know I’m alive, that’s why I’m writing. From my Ipod, no less.
You know, when I was about 18 I joined a gym. (Bear with me, there is a point.). Like all 18-year-olds, I thought I needed to lose ~ 10 pounds, though in fact I was then ~ 10 pounds [...]

Flame bait!

People, we need to increase the traffic around here.  It’s pathetic.  Since the “be really good and attract an audience through your writing, consistency of posting, and original thought” route is obviously off the table, I’m going to go with the “throw out a list of inflammatory statements and/or buzzwords and hope for the best”.
Come [...]

Blogoversary

It passed unnoticed.  I forgot entirely.  It was on July 27, 2008 that I started this blog.  I’m not going to go all sentimental and write “What I’ve learned from blogging” or anything like that, but I thought I should note it nevertheless.
So I will invent a self-indulgent blog meme.
Search the following words on your [...]

Not that I don’t love lolcats, but…

…does this depress you a little?
Now I have always loved me some lolcats.  And I know it’s Sunday and nothing ever happens on Sunday.  But WordPress is the biggest blog portal in the entire world (or at least the second biggest).  And two sites from the Cheezburger Empire are in the top four??????
This is a [...]

Nyquil during the day

I’m sick.  Yes, I survived the entire winter without a cold in spite of being sneezed at and coughed on by a wide cross-section of the juvenile population of Toronto, but the change in the weather from “bloody cold” to “not quite Antarctic” has laid me low.  So I’ve cancelled everything and will be spending [...]

Ominous rumblings from the hard disk: Happy New Year!

This computer, a 2003 iMac which I inherited from my grandfather (well, no one else wanted it…), is starting to make ominous sounds and show signs of advanced age and senility.  For two days the only way I’ve been able to turn it off is to unplug it, which is, you’ll agree, not a good [...]

Mysterious head bumps

I have a mysterious bump/scratch on my forehead:

OK, so it doesn’t look like much.  In fact, so mad are my photography skills that you can barely see it at all.  But take my word for it, it is a bump.  And it’s quite sore.  
How did I hit my head without noticing?  Weird.  Maybe I [...]

Hurry up and wait

You know, I have a bunch of irons in the fire right now.  I’ve applied for this, I’ve auditioned for that, I’m entering this, I’m working on that.  But when I look ahead, I have about nothing actually planned or booked or confirmed.  It’s odd, because I feel all hopeful and excited.  But about what?
Anyway. [...]

Blogginess

I know my blog is looking sad and neglected these days. It’s not my fault. Blame the Ipod Touch – the typing interface on this thing is less welcoming than a real keyboard. I know I could always just, you know, use my real computer…but whatever.
Anyway. I’m back. [...]

Technology is awesome…

…because I am lying in bed, blogging from my new Ipod touch! Yes, I do now own both an EEE and this sleek and well-designed little time-sucker. Shut up. I did write the whole vampire novel on the EEE, so you can’t call it a waste.
Anyway. I didn’t go to [...]
