Corrie Strikes Again!

I went to Nuit Blanche with some of my friends last night and was having a great time until I twisted my ankle stepping down off a curb and am pretty sure it’s sprained.   Definitely not as bad as the 2nd degree sprain on my left ankle of last year,  but it’s sore and swollen [...]

Monday.Monday.

I had the worst sleep in the history of civilization last night (my co-workers have accused me of being dramatic, by the way).  Couldn’t get to sleep and then couldn’t stay asleep, woke up multiple times including from around 3 – 4:30 a.m.  Once I got back to sleep the second time, I kept waking [...]

Cravings……

Well, in one of the weirder cravings I’ve ever had, I’ve decided that I absolutely, positively, have to have hot and sour soup.   I’ve been checking out recipes and since they seem to all be in the same general vein I think I’ll try this one from All Recipes:  Chinese Spicy Hot and Sour Soup [...]

I’m still in my pyjamas

This is pretty much me in a nutshell:  if it can be walked into, tripped over, slipped on or used to harm myself in some fashion, I’ll do it.   I’m a klutz.
Undoubtably, this will add increased layers of difficulty to my newly minted artistic endeavours, I’ve only just begun and I’ve already had an [...]

The goods…..

The trip to Midoco is a done deal, I went on Saturday afternoon and wandered around for an hour or so (it’s not a big store) and loved it.  I bought a couple of “kits” to get myself started, some paper I liked, and a book – which I realized will not work once I [...]

Loooonnnnnggggg Weekend

I’m planning a weekend of food and alcohol – I am going to try to recreate Thai Express’ Shrimp Fried Rice and bought myself a couple of bottles of wine to try (I’m not a huge drinker so this will last me far longer than one weekend),  but I’ve upped the ante slightly by adding [...]

A Note (and a dilemma)

Note
Dear Sir (man who is part of the paving crew installing a new parking lot at my place of employ)
You are pretty freaking “fit” and pardon me for being all base here, but you have a great ass.   I really appreciate you standing outside of the window in front of me, while you are chatting on [...]

I’m baaaccckkk!

I totally stole this idea from the lovely Meagan at Slips of Prolixity, but I liked the format and felt compelled to join in:
Outside my window… is a lot of greenery with a creek running through it.  My place of employ is in an industrial area of Scarberia, but our building is beside a little stream [...]

When I can’t sleep…….

I listen to music.  These are two of my favourite artists:
I love Madeleine Peyroux’s voice, I think it’s so pure and beautiful.   I’m also a huge fan of Leonard Cohen (whose lyrics are pure and beautiful), so it’s a given that I am all over her version of his amazing song “Dance Me To The [...]

In which I confuse reality with fiction….

I seem to have developed my very first crush on a fictional character, namely Eric from True Blood:
 
I watched all of Season One and heard/read all of the Eric love and thought “whatever”, but this season I’m loving his humour (and new haircut), so I’m firmly on the Eric Love Boat now.
Alan Ball is amazing; [...]
