I don’t work on Mondays, I usually do school work instead. It’s a nice change from the terrible Monday feeling everyone else gets. In my absence, my coworkers made a “Chair Opera” video to “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin”.
Now, this might be one of those “you had to be there” jokes, but I still [...]
Last weekend, I baked some cupcakes for a friend of mine. It was her stagette, and there was a ‘food party’ beforehand. The theme was Hawaiian/Tropical, and so I stole a few recipes and altered them a bit to concoct some delicious minicakes. Today, I brought them into work, cause it was Friday. These pictures [...]
This past weekend, my boyfriend and tried making our own Ethiopian dishes. This was prompted by cost cutting measures and terrible service at one of our favorite restaurants. We go once a week, and are treated with the same cold service each time. We’ve requested substitutions on our combination platters to a defiant “NO”. So [...]
This whole Photobooth thing is going to end embarassingly for me one night, when I think I’m working alone. I’ll be “Blue Steeling” for the camera and someone’s going to walk in. I can already tell you that the other person is going to be jealous though, and want to get in on the camera [...]
July and August are the hottest months in Alberta, and with that, come insane storms rolling in over the mountains.

Summer 2006 Obsessions:

geology and the study of rocks and minerals and the components that make up our Earth
One of these things is not like the others.
Our iMacs at work come with Photobooth, which is a built in camera that takes candid photos and allows you to webcam from your computer.
I can’t tell if I love it, my new jeans or my coworker Matt more.
Sometimes, it’s best not to ask.
I have long knocked the expensive jean market. I think this comes, in part, from my fear when approaching the ‘jean bar’ at some upscale store. I am accosted by a sales clerk who demands to see my butt and thighs in this pair, that pair, no THESE, they have silver threads in them, dontcha [...]
I think a big reason I wasn’t posting a lot was because
1- My life wasn’t happy. I cured this by quitting Home Depot
2- The spambots had taken over my comments to the extent that I could not keep up. So I added a feature where you have to do a simple math formula to enter [...]
