Should I use my powers for good, or for awesome?



Update time!
Thanksgiving was lurvly... I was in the kitchen for almost 12 hours straight, but I pulled off the full on turkey dinner for 11 people. (With a little help from my wonderful neighbours, thanks marcridler!) Also thanks to char1esand Janet for their always wonderful company, and joyfuldemise for bringing herself and...

So far today I have:

-Worked five and a half hours.
-Taken a walk along the river.
-Bought worms to feed my newts.
-Gone longboarding.
-Cuddled my kitten.
-Watched part of Moulin Rouge.
-Raked up all the leaves in my front yard.
-Planned Monday night's dinner for ten-ish people.

and its only three o'clock.

What shall I do now? Nap!

Well, after being annoyed by the loud roomates for more than an hour... I figured that if I couldn't beat them I'd join them. So I went downstairs and had some beer.

Annnnnnnd! Last night my lost kitty came home! She's been off having kitten adventures for two weeks, but now she's home safe and happy. Such a funny little creature.

It snowed in Calgary...

Note to roomates: SHUT THE FUCK UP! Before I throw your tamborine/tinwhistle/drums/guitars out the window. You KNOW I have to be up in less than five hours for work. Go somewhere else, it's a Sunday night for fucks sake.

Oh how I wish I wasn't such a light sleeper.

I love this house, but it might be time to look at getting my own place....

So I'm in love... with my new longboard.

It's a funny story how I ended up with her. I bought meanwhilethecat a sweet longboard yesterday afternoon for his birthday (which is, indeed, in a month and a half). We wanted to get one for him now, so he could get some use out of it before it turns snowy. So, we got his board and...

Is it creepy that I like to look into people's windows as I walk by? I just really like having a little glimpse of their lives, to see how their house is decorated and what they are doing... hm.

Still no cat. I tried everywhere I could think of. Except posters... I'll do that today. If that doesn't work then I guess I have to count her as gone. Her food dish is still sitting in the kitchen, full.

My kitten has been missing for days now... I'm worried she's a fuzzy black pancake on 17th ave. Tomorrow I start searching the SPCAs. I wish she would just come back and be purring in my bed when I got home from work like she always did. I can't do anything right now but go to bed worried.

Yesterday was the most perfect fall day.

It started out quite nicely, I got to sleep in (quite) late, and wake up next to my most favorite person. Then we headed out of the city into the mountains for an afternoon of picture taking and frolicking in the forest.
It was most wonderful... the sun was warm, the breeze was light, the colours were bright...

Aww, thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone!

Monday birthdays are kinda lame, and a grumpy boss didn't make it any better... but now I'm going to forget it all and celebrate tonight.

Yes, I changed my name. I am the greener, leafier side of Coriander. Will you still love me the same?


Things I require: A tripod. A lightmeter. A bath.


(I've been walking around in bare feet all day)



People who have a hate on for other people without even meeting the people first make me .

I picked up my Pearl Jam tickets today. Shiny!

Upcoming super-happy-fun-times for me....

(in chronological order)
-Payday. I'm muchly looking forward to this one, because I've had no money for food for a while. It's going to be a big one because I worked hugely long hours last week.
-Four day weekend. The weather's supposed to be good.
-Sunday Pearl Jam concert.
-Next weekend my parents are visiting. They're going to sleep in my...
