The Usual

Not too much to mention. It’s been a pretty usual week. I haven’t been up to too much…no practice because of holiday and moon day. Next week my schedule changes so as to better accomodate practice, yay! Also next week my article is published, which I keep forgetting about, but is [...]

Bleh.

I had a big talk with my dad tonight and then I had a big talk with my mum. I was talking to my dad about my plans for grad school…he didn’t know that I’d decided to stay in Canada, purely for financial reasons (why pay four times as much in the U.S. [...]

Week in Review

I guess I haven’t written anything in awhile because (a) there isn’t too much new to report, and (b) I’ve been keeping fairly busy and haven’t had too many spare moments.
So here’s my week in review: Tuesday night we ended up going out to see Team America, which was very funny in a very stupid [...]

I am a bad yogi!

Argh. I had every intention of going to J’s level 3 tonight at 6 (as I had the day off), but around 5 o’clock I decided against it. My hamstrings were sore (but nothing I couldn’t have worked through once I got warm) and I was having an incredibly productive day at home [...]

The Perfect Weekend

I’ve been aching for a weekend like this for years. For the past four years, weighed down by books, midterms and papers, I’ve yearned for a real weekend. Two days without obligations, without assignments hanging over my head and without work. I’ve been having a hard time making the adjustment to having [...]

Sad

My cousin, who was 32, passed away at 5:30 this morning. She had been dealing with various illnesses her whole life as a result of being born with a very severe form of Addison’s Disease (a glandular disorder). Last year after years of waiting and getting dialysis nearly every day, she finally received [...]

Back at home..

Just a quick note tonight. I had a lovely long weekend at home with family. Hung out with some old friends. Spent a lot of time with my family. Had a really good conversation with my mum about my plans for the future. I baked and cooked a lot, and [...]

Giving Thanks

Whether entirely trivial or laden with meaning and profundity there is so much I have to be thankful for, and so much of it goes unsaid, but now, at Thanksgiving, it should be articulated, realised and appreciated.
• I am thankful for Tide with a Touch of Downy laundry detergent, and I make everyone who comes to [...]

I don’t even know where to begin…

Bush is the biggest idiot ever. Who the hell are these “46% of respondents” who are voting for him? Are they braindead or do they simply value underhandedness and deceit as good qualities in a leader? There is so much more I could say, but it’s all been said a thousand times [...]

Thanksgiving Countdown

I’m going home for Thanksgiving tomorrow evening, which gives me the day tomorrow to: (a) Find a birthday gift for my stepmum. (b) Write the rest of my article for which the deadline is Sunday. And (c) Sleep in a little seeing as tonight proved to be a little later than planned. [...]

Mystery

I took J’s led level three class last night and it was entirely delightful. The weather here in Montreal has gone from summer to full-fledged winter (while, maybe not full-fledged, but it was only 5 Celsius here today) and I couldn’t seem to get warm last night. I didn’t start sweating until the [...]

Torn

What a good weekend. Well, mostly. Friday night I was so drained from the cleanse I ended up skipping out on good times with friends and opted instead for bed and a movie. Saturday I worked all day on cash. It was a really busy day and I had a lot of [...]

Cleanse, Day 3, Just About Done…

Okay, so for some reason, despite the late night last night (out with friends after having people over to watch the debate) during which I learned that bars really aren’t that much fun if you can’t drink, I woke up feeling fine this morning. By the time I got to work I was in [...]
