I’m amazed at how *poorly* this whole program has been organised. The webpage uses frames — frames! Big honking obvious hideous frames! — and they don’t really bother about things like avoiding course conflicts.
Don’t get me started.
I will hold my breath and see what happens tomorrow. For the record: 20 people, 4 women; 3 […]
I have this one major concern about buying a house. The Parti Quebecois. Oh, I don’t think people want to separate now; most of the separatists I know would like a little more time before the issue is revisited.
No, Parizeau & cronies want to make the next election the litmus test for separation. It is […]
I’m working up to rewriting something, but I felt the first draft wasn’t well-written (I lost it, I didn’t actually decide it was too badly written for this blog: my standards are appallingly low here), and this one is much worse. Also I haven’t finished it, but need to take a break.
The best […]
Tomorrow is the day of reckoning. Or of finding out what’s going to happen for the next 12 months, anyhow. I’m exhausted already, but figure I can’t go to sleep yet. Dead Like Me is on at 9, anyways, and I want to find out what that wad of cash in the last episode was […]
So I had my demon duck on my bed the other day. And Matilda was just terrified of it. I thought it funny.
Except that since she’s seen the duck, she has refused to come in my room. Mama called the doctor, the doctor said ‘No more kittens sleeping on the bed.’
I had a long post written, and then I accidentally hit the fucking quicktags button, and now it’s all gone.
Grumble. Grumble. It was too grueling to rewrite at the moment. Instead I will explain to everyone why I am annoyed with my grandparents (something I brought up, tangentially). Just get it out!
My mother is […]
As I’m about to climb onto my bed, I hear scratching at the window. I let both my cats out this evening. Time for them to come in overnight. They don’t have claws, but that doesn’t seem to register. Sam meows, while Matilda just waits for me to notice her, but that doesn’t register either. […]
I’ve been having conversations with my sister; she’s going to start at Concordia in a week, or whenever classes start. Wednesday? Let’s say it’s Wednesday.
Because her marks at Cegep have been abysmal, she couldn’t get in as a mature student; it’s hard to prove something’s changed when you haven’t done anything different in ever. And […]
It’s long, but this is one of my favourite poems.
Words from a totem animal
Distance
is where we were
but empty of us and ahead of
me lying out in the rushes thinking
even the nights cannot come back to their hill
any time
————
I would rather the wind came from outside
from mountains anywhere
from the stars from other
worlds even as
cold as it […]
Fun!
Estimate all sorts of things. Including, oddly, how many states were in the US in the beginning of 2001. (I knew the exact answer for this one. And I was pretty damn close for the latitude of London and birth of Jesus Christ . . . not so much for the number of counties in […]
