I don't know why I am in this kind of mood, but I feel like I can go on and on forever... I've been thinking about some of the sites I usually visit online, and aside from various blogs that I must read, another visit on my must-do list is at Link . IMDB is simply the best site for accessing information about the movie industry. There are daily updates on gossip, links to new trailers, and pretty good bios on actors/actresses/directors/writers/and almost everyone involved in the movie ...

I've been having a hard time letting things go when it comes to Kole. It's been difficult letting her chose her own clothing (ughh... pink and purple together ), choose her own music (yuck to hip hop and boybands), and letting her do her own hair in the morning (clips, barrettes, and sparkly oversized elastics.) It makes me wonder if it would have been more appropriate for me to have had a messy, rough and tumble boy instead of an ultra feminine girly girl. The thing is, I couldn't...

I've been away from blogging for some time now, for one main reason: it's so damned nice outside. I've been spending a lot of time biking, playing basketball and going for walks. I can certainly understand why I gain so much weight in the winter and by the end of summer seem to have lost so much without changing a thing in my diet. There's just so much to do. Work is work. I am up for a pay raise next month and am going to have a chance to earn bonuses from here on in. The sucky thing ...

Here's the latest:

I have friends who are girls. In fact, some of my best friends are girls. And I don't just hang out with guys because I am guy crazy, but I very much prefer hanging out with guys at work, than hanging out with most of the females that I work with. I think it's a matter of communication. In a place of employment like mine, you've got to realize that gossip is a fast and furious thing. And hey, I like gossip as much as the next person... sort of. I don't mind hearing frivolous shit, bu...

When I was a young girl, I thought that I was in love with a cartoon character named Mark, from Battle of the Planets. I mean, I knew it was a cartoon, but I also knew that real people voiced these superheroes. I suppose I figured, hell, if they picked out a guy to speak the role of a teen Captain who saved the world on a daily basis, the guy that voiced him had to have a little something in common with the character he played. How wrong I was. Casey Kasem was my first jolt in the re...

My boyfriend/crush/best friend at work up and quit a couple of days ago. He didn't tell anybody, and I still haven't heard the whole story, but I don't think that I really need to. He hated the job. Hated the lack of motivation, inspiration and encouragement. I do too, but I need to find another job before leaving. And here's the thing. Nothing has motivated me more to leave than by his own leaving. I got offered a job the other day, and I am seriously considering it. It's writing pr...

So, I turned 35 today. Holy shit.

i guess i am... I guess I am a loner. It's not to say that I don't have friends, and that I shy away from social situations, but the reality is, I tend to go places on my own far more often than I used to. It's not a problem, either. I don't mind going to see a flick by myself, and I am kind of disgusted when I hear about other people who say 'I just couldn't do something like that.' as if they are more superior to have dragged someone else to see a movie with them than someone like...

I never get anything done when I work nights. Instead, I eat quick foods like toast, dry cereal and whatever's still good in the fridge; like pickles or apples that haven't gone too soft. The dishes pile up, towering and teetering, and there's never any cutlery that's clean. Papers cover any flat surface, and books are left unshelved. It becomes an obstacle course to get from the front entrance to my room as the laundry becomes more unmanageable by the day. Because my place is probably th...

I have a new supervisor at work that I bloody well can't stand. I wish I was in Shovelheat's position, waving goodbye to her, instead, I'm having to wait to see if her behavior is 'just for show' since she's new here and feels the need to show us who's boss. But mygod, I don't think I'm going to last. I've seriously started thinking up ways to get her canned, or at least, get her off of my team. The only other options is for me to see if I can get transferred to another team, but in my ...

My father took my daughter away to visit my brother up north. She'll be gone for 5 days, the longest we've ever spent apart. Since I'm working nights, I actually have the time to go out and live it up a bit, but I don't really. My mother hates staying alone by herself. So she asked me to come spend the nights with her while he's gone, and I've done so, but somewhat reluctantly. I've managed to work out a system though, where I will get a cab home if I've had a couple of beers, and she see...

I can't write. I've been trying to write a decent blog for days now, and nothing is coming. I re-read the words I've typed out and automatically hit the delete button. I've got a lot of stuff on my mind, stuff that I've vowed that I won't write about anymore, but hell... nothing else holds my interest long enough to write about. I've been trying to write some poetry but it's all shite. The words are meaningless... there's no coherent link to tie it all together. I've been trying ...

For 'my regular readers' (hehehe) I just thought that I'd let you all know that my blog is going to undergo some serious reconstruction. Eventually, even this very article will be stored, then deleted. It's embarassing, really. I've decided to remove all reference to my non-boyfriend simply because he actually wants to read some of my stuff here, and I don't really want to let on how often I've written about him. I can't say the crush is over, but I can definitely admit that I've gained...

I was in the grocery store last night and bumped into a man who commented on my daughter's outfit. Turns out he has a daughter too, and a son. It was a nice chat. Turns out that we know the same people, namely, my daughter's principal and founder of her Anishnabe school. I mentioned that I was going to have to start looking for a new school for Kole. Unfortunately, its funding is going to run out soon, and I'm faced with considering the option of sending her elsewhere. So, he tells me ab...
