this email wins.

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

So… I’m on this other website… and generally I get typical messages… which, don’t get me wrong, I appreciate.
It’s always fun to get emails from random males telling you that you: seem cool, are awesome, are beautiful, are sexy, look like Tina Fey (dark hair, dark eyes, and glasses, that’s all it takes)…
But this message [...]

post-collegiate to hopeless…

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

I created this blog less than a week ago and I already got tired of my first attempt with naming…
So, onward now.
Hopelessly yours… was the name of my radio show at 91.1FM WGCS The Globe.  Who knows.. maybe I’ll continue my Tribute to the Hopeless Romantics…

kitten liberation 2008

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Last Friday it was decided that I should release my kittens from their confines and let them run loose through the apartment.
It hasn’t been bad.
Lucyfur is still getting used to them, but well, as long as they give each other space things seem to be going all right.  Tuija and Kaija are enjoying the larger [...]

a being v. a doing

Friday, September 26th, 2008

In a recent Windows/PC commercial, Deepak Chopra states “I am a human being. Not a human doing, not a human thinking — a human being.” There’s been some minor discussions about it on blogs, and even youtube. (Sorry, no links, you can consult with The Google if you’re interested. Or ask [...]

Grab life by the … (thoughts on crushes)

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Recently, Mennogirl shared about some of her frustrations with crushes…
This has sort of been a topic amongst the group for a bit, and well, my gorgeous friend Chrissy and I discuss the male species quite often.  I will say, we don’t necessarily harp on the issue of singleness.  Generally it’s about being simultaneously excited, pessimistic, [...]

my kittens have a serious case of the noms.

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

So a month ago I added two little terrified bundles of fuzzy adorableness to my life in the form of 12-13 week old rescued kittens, sisters.  (Originally to be named Åsa and Lempi — but now are Tuija and Kaija.)
When I received the kittens, Kaija (my white & black kitten) had just gotten over having [...]

a mixing of blogs

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

This probably annoys me more than it does anyone else… but due to some design constraints put in place by wordpress, I can’t remove the “Posted by” on all of my posts.
And since some people know I posses another blog, well, that’s honestly where the name comes from.
I’m not really comfortable mixing the two, but [...]

Turning your Wednesday into a Monday, a narrative…

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

So, typically (at least in some popular media), Monday is typically the worse day of the week.
It’s what we dread.  Or at least are told to.
Now, I don’t dread Wednesdays.  Nor do I really dread Mondays either…
However, this morning, this Wednesday morning, was slightly less than ideal.
Last night I decided to head into the City [...]
