3 days till my birthday. huzzah! Here’s what went down this week. Yesterday I went to the annual Association for Mineral Exploration trade show, strolled around, ate the candy that they had at all the booths, and looked at the jewelry at the Placer Gold Design booth. I was supposed to visit the mining database [...]
One of my favourite parts of the day is when the sun lines up with Pender St. Across from my office there are a bunch of hydro poles, signposts, trees, etc. and for about two minutes each morning, the shadows from them line up and make one long line of shadow. Then as the sun [...]

A couple nights ago James was sleeping over and we were snuggling. “Hey Elaine… tell me some sweet nothings.” “Um, okay…. zero sugar cubes.” “Haha, tell me another!” “Empty jar of honey.” “Okay. Now whisper loving sentiments in my ear.” Yesterday and the day before I was crampy and SO TIRED and felt a general [...]

A couple weeks ago, T. moved out of the upstairs suite, sans partner G., who told us last night that this is going to be permanent. And, he’s not sure if he’s going to stay there by himself. I don’t know if this is callous and opportunistic of me, but that’s a kickass suite and [...]

I forgot to mention! My beater’s back on the road, since James showed me how to repack the hubs. I’m pretty chuffed with that, and the skytrain can bite my shiny metal ass. No more being stuffed in like sardines every morning! Also I looked at an apartment this morning… place I have is nice [...]

I bought two more balls today. I have…. uh… quick counting… at least four works in some stage of progress. You’d think I’d finish them first? Hardly. I also got vegetarian haggis in a can and some red grapefruit marmalade, and James’ mom gave me a green shirt that says “I [heart] nerds” and a [...]

James was consoling me yesterday, since I was upset about lovely cold fluffy snow and clear blue skies being washed away by stupid slushy rain. “Aww,” he said, “my leetle Elaine misses the snowiness.”

James loves the banana-peanutbutter smoothies for breakfast, so I made some today. We were sitting on the couch, drinking our smoothies, waiting for Arthur to come on, and he started shivering. Having finished my smoothie, I got up and put the blanket on him. “No I want you, I don’t want a blankie! It smells [...]
It just occurred to me that the exchange about switching sides of the bed could totally have occurred on Seinfeld. Between George and Elaine, I think. George is James and Elaine is (naturally) me. It would be theoretical of course, George has never maintained a relationship long enough for the situation to come up, and [...]
See two posts down. Well I’ve got a whole bunch of them for you. Last night I tried this line on James as Corey suggested: “You should be sin<sup>2</sup> and I should be cos<sup>2</sup> so that we could be one together.” He said, “WHAAAT? Where did you get this joke? From whence did this joke [...]
