After going for coffee with a friend, I headed up to the Jewish bakery to pick up stuff they didn’t have. I got there a bit before 11. It was — surprisingly — packed. I could only get one roll, and they didn’t have any babka, but I got cheese danish and hamentashen. Hamentashen! I […]

1. Would you ever move to another city?
Well, I have, and moved back. Would I move again? I guess, maybe. If — heavens forbid — a referendum vote went yes, I would keep the option on the table. I can’t imagine other reasons, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
I don’t really […]
I was doing normal everyday things when I got all annoyed at people being stupid, and then I realised: it’s Monday! I can make “people I hate Mondays” my very own tradition. There is certainly no lack of people to complain about.
People who block entire aisles with their shopping carts; also, people who stop […]
Canadian channels occasionally show shows at different times than the American ones. I think Lost shows up in its old timeslot, not the new one. Gilmore Girls shows up later than in the US.
But lately, it’s been not a different time on the same day, but a different day. An *earlier* day (presumably because […]
I have found one of the two pairs of missing jeans. I bought one pair as a replacement, so I assume if I want pair number two to come back, I need to buy more jeans. But two pairs is sufficient.

I just splashed myself with very hot chocolate while I was stirring it. Ouch.
But it has vanilla and cinnamon and rum in it, so I am hoping to no longer care, soon. (In part because I would like to be asleep soon.)
My skirts, when they suddenly ride up from being appropriately knee-length (or just above, or just below, etc) to being micro-minis. It is even less elegant than when I end up yanking on my skirt to keep them down. I have considered sewing lead weights into the hem to keep them lower.
My tights, when I […]
I started making kissy sounds at pictures of cats online.
As I whined over at Phantom’s, my sister has been difficult, lately. This is because she’s totally nuts. Someone here once suggested Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and I have thought a lot about that, but in the end, I don’t think it’s that. But it’s also probably not that distant. Close enough, certainly, that some of […]
I heard something in the other room. It could be sound travelling from a nearby apartment — or some small animal. I’ve actually been paranoid for a few days that I have a small animal in my house (not for any rational reason — food hasn’t disappeared or been nibbled on, there are no droppings, […]
