It’s Friday evening. The night is young. The weather is great. The city is alive. And here I am, writing an entry for my pathetic webpage, instead of going out to enjoy it. Ha! Well, okay, that’s not quite true. I have some plans for later, but generally I just need to rest up for tomorrow. That, and I was almost falling asleep at work this afternoon. Too many late nights, I suppose. Wash, wash, wash… So I was suckered into some volunteer work. Well, I shouldn’t say suckered. Since my job title involves the term “volunteer” in some capacity, (ie not pertaining to my salary other than the fact that I don’t get paid unless I have something to do with our volunteers) I figured that when someone walks into our office and asks for volunteers to help out at a car wash on Saturday morning, I’d better put my hand in the air. I mean they already know I have no life, so lying about it isn’t going to work. Besides, now I get to go on a bit of an adventure tomorrow morning and wash a lot of fancy vehicles for a good cause. Is that a warm fuzzy or what? The recognition I may or may not deserve I don’t remember why I was looking (ok, I was a little bored for a while around lunch) but I have now received the high and ultimate honor of being on the official “Alice List” Horray for me……….. *silent awe Rings to fill some time When I had my lazy self parked on the beach last weekend, I noticed that someone down the way had their nose parked in The Lord of the Rings and I suddenly recalled that the movie was going to be coming out in a few months. Anyone who has seen the books will remember that a few months might not be enough time to plow through these tombs one last time before the big event. Anyhow, I picked up my copy once again and started to read. All week (on my lunch breaks) I’ve been parked in the sunny little courtyard across the road taking on the Tolkien tales. But that’s all I have to say about that. Not quite voice mail but… If you pay close attention to anything but these inane ramblings you will notice that I put a link to my very own personal message board on the front page. Actually it’s hosted by Bravenet, so ignore the stupid ads, because I’m not paying to have a message board without ads, and telus won’t let me put scripts on this site, so I’m stuck. The short of it is, now you can leave messages and tell me what you think (now that I’ve told you what I think, I figure it’s only fair…) |

HumDrum Saturday >> December 8 Just one of those got-stuff-done, but didn't do much sort of days. This included: Day 8: That Christmas tree looks so good, I could eat it! Slept in a little bit. Made a pot of really good coffee. Picked up a tree at Ikea after

We Are All Soon Criminals >> About five years ago when we were living in the urban sprawl of Vancouver our apartment was burglarized. We were suddenly very alone and vulnerable. It wasn't the stuff, so much. It was rotten-to-the-core feeling of being helpless and
sparkle dreams >> For those who've been wondering, Sparkle is well. She's adapting, I think. Despite the fact that she's been in heat for two weeks at this point, a condition I'm sure can't be too comfortable, she has perked up considerably since
