I keep hearing crashing noises in the general vicinity of my house. I have always been frightened of weird noises at night. eep! Oh, and the other thing. It’s 12:20 and I’m still up, even though I normally go to bed at 10. This is because I was finishing James’ advent calendar – it starts [...]

Big fat lazy snowflakes. The light reflects everywhere and it seems nearly as bright as day. I could stand by my bedroom window looking out at it for hours.

I had coffee this morning. Coffee in the morning always upsets my tummy. I regret it. I am drinking lychee black tea in an effort to calm my unhappy stomach. I walked to work this morning – although in some places I ought more accurately to say slid to work. There’s a few sections where [...]

See below. This is how much it snowed in South Surrey last night and today. James doesn’t think he can drive back to Vancouver with his summer rubber as long as it’s like this. I’m getting a snow day tomorrow! woohoo!

The thing about James and I is that when we’re alone, we have our own little dialect. For example, all verbs are treated as regular when it comes to the past tense: James: I drinked a bit. teehee! Or, if it just doesn’t sound RIGHT, then the correct past tense form can have the -ed [...]

James and I went on two dates in as many days. Last night we went out for dinner (all you can eat Indian buffet… ooh) and then to see Borat. Funniest. Movie. Ever. I mentioned this to my little brother on the phone today and he was like “whoooaaa, you guys are CLASSSYYYY…. hahah!” Then [...]

Took a walk to the games store in gastown, since they are closing and it’s their last day. I’m such an opportunist. Scored a rather nice backgammon set, all inlaid wood and everything (except the checkers, I think those are fake plastic wood and one is missing actually). Original price: $125. I paid $25. I’m [...]
