I slept rather late this morning and finished reading the complete Maus (this means I can give Anick her books back). Of course I did have valid reason for sleeping in — I was up until 4am (well I did read a few chapters of Maus before bed) partially because of my excursion to the… Continue reading On the whole Rocky Horror Picture Show experience

So today I got the Tupperware I ordered from my nephew's mom. I'm pretty happy with it all — partially as I really needed these items (or at least I really needed some of them — some are just fun items that I thought would be useful regardless). So many nice big bowls and containers!… Continue reading Tupperware, RHPS, Halloween, and Exercise clothing, oh my!

So this week, I went to the Beyond 2010 Hackathon. I stayed from 9pm until 6am working on the emergency preparedness app that we were working on (essentially I was a proofreader for the information that would hypothetically get included in the app). It was pretty fun, to be honest, and I had fun getting… Continue reading This week in brief: Hackathon, school work and so on!

Any of the songs from the Josie and the Pussycats movie. Why? Because I spent yesterday working on an assignment based on this movie (and the comic books). Honestly! As much as I like girl bands on occasion (Letters to Cleo style ones for example), some of the stuff from the Josie and the Pussycats… Continue reading Writer's Block: MAKE IT STOP!

I voted this morning for the municipal election. I was rather surprised just how DEAD my polling station was, however. Please, people go out there and vote (after getting educated on the candidates)! It's a beautiful day for an election — the walk to the voting station was brief but good — it was my… Continue reading Election day!

It's been a busy weekend, I guess. Last night was Graham and Nancy's Hallowgiving party, which was really rather excellent. Holly turned out to be the life of the party (and I really liked the spiced cake she baked, yum!). As per usual there was a cake lit on fire, and Chicago Deep Dish Pizza,… Continue reading A hallowgiving and Homeless Connect

Last night at Anick's housewarming party she lent me a few graphic novels (and a picture book). Last night I read another graphic novel Tyranny (2009). I didn't hate it, but I much preferred the novel versions of anorexia stories that I have read in the past. This morning I read Swallow Me Whole which… Continue reading Graphic novels!

In preparation for Homeless Connect (a twice annual event that endeavors to help the homeless and under-housed in Edmonton providing them all sorts of amenities and services and whatnot) FLIF held a book sorting party this morning/afternoon in Henderson Hall. It was a remarkably efficient use of our time/resources: we sorted hundreds of books into… Continue reading Books, books, books: Mountains of books!

… but there's nothing I can do about it (well unless I somehow randomly come into possession of a time turner in time for Wednesday or something equally unlikely…). Regardless, I'm pretty sure that the organizers of both events would love more attendees. So if you're available I highly recommend looking at attending one or… Continue reading I wish I could attend more of the Hackathon (and mixer)…

… just how particular I get about food at times. I don't consider myself a foodie, and certainly when at someone else's home or otherwise, I will usually eat whatever is provided, but left to my own devices I kind of range between eating healthily, eating lazily and eating super randomly. It's kind of strange,… Continue reading Sometimes it just surprises me…
