Where the Walls are Soft…

“Escape Attempt”Taken October 9, 2007 with Canon PowerShot A550 I took this yesterday, on my way back from my morning at the new J.O.B. This is a government contracted J.O.B., and the contract hasn’t yet been “officially” approved, so I haven’t “officially” started, but I went in to do orientation and help out a little [...]

I refuse to juggle anymore. It’s been one thing after another again lately. I dealt with the crowds of people all last week. I kind of thought I had it together there. I thought wrong. The shit continues to hit the fan. Most of the time it’s either not [...]

1919-2007 Madeleine L’Engle, the author of “A Wrinkle in Time” and over 60 other books of fantasy, poetry and memoir, has died at the age of 88. She hated labels. My kinda gal.

This is what I’m hiding behind for the next several days My latest “secretive-ish” little project is underway. It’s all my mother’s fault. She started this. I have to be the one to finish it. And…. I’m afraid. What else is new? What am I afraid of? That’s the stupid part. [...]

5 Things I’ve Learned About Brown Rats That I Didn’t Know Yesterday: 1) A brown rat may not understand English (else why would he not cooperate and stay in the cage once warned of the consequences?), but I know of one that certainly picks up on “change of heart” quickly. 2) A brown rat [...]

I’ve quit The Dream Job. School was (is) going down the crapper and I’ve been spending catch-up time in school worrying about The Dream Job, and catch-up time at The Dream Job worrying about school. Nothing was getting done. If I can “fast-track” through school somehow, I might manage to give myself a buffer [...]

AKA – Why I Really Don’t Like “Real” People. (If I had the guts to say what I’m thinking, that is; but that would just be MEAN, now wouldn’t it?) She: ….and it was lime-green! Now, normally I don’t go for lime-green but it IS so IN right now, and it’s EVERYWHERE!! What do [...]

… a little to the left, I think. Big SNAFU at school. I’m left with a course “half-administrated”, if that makes any sense. I have the book for the next online course, but the course hasn’t been “turned on” online, so I can’t download the work files and do any actual work. It’s [...]

I had expected to come back here with a finished “Landlady Story”. Nope. Not finished. Then, I figured, I’d post the new cartoon I’m working on. Nope. Not finished. So, I thought, well, it’ll probably be Ky’s Spring Concert video. Sorry. Not rendered. Then, on my way back from a grocery run [...]

Something came along/happened/was said that slammed me back about six years. I’m kind of in a box now, and I haven’t slept very much since. I have things that need to be figured out and I haven’t got a clue how to go about it. I know this will somehow “work itself out”, as [...]

Let’s All Hate Toronto. …and all this time we thought it was the Sault that the rest of Canada hated. Random Song for the Day: “Polyester Bride” – Liz Phair Pssst! Happy Birthday, OldGuy!

Kurt Vonnegut: 1922-2007 It (almost) never fails when discussing favourite authors, that I discover that pretty much everybody on the planet has heard of Kurt Vonnegut, but if pressed hard enough, will eventually admit that they never actually read anything by Kurt Vonnegut. Come on, really?! Slaughterhouse 5 was assigned reading in one [...]

Just for one year I would like April to have no snow. Just once. 5:50 pm 7 Minutes Later 27 More Minutes Later

So, it turns out my kid is allergic to the cats. Specifically, the big orange hairy one, but Dr. Who says that will turn into “allergic to all cats”, even the short hair, over time. Solution? Well, the doctor says to get rid of the cats, buy a vacuum cleaner with a [...]
