Thanks for That, Brain

We’ve talked about my irrational fears before, yes? Good news for those of you playing at home—the Irrational Fear Centre of my brain has been cooking up some doozies! Not so good for me, though: 1. What if I’m gossiping about somebody or saying bad words that I don’t know the meaning of and someone [...]

The Stuff Nightmares Are Made Of

Obviously no person involved with this advertisement has ever come in contact with an actual swan.

A Partial List

Things I Did Not Claw My Way To The Top Of The Food Chain For 1. To wake up before 8 a.m. on the weekends, or 6 a.m. ever. 2. To tolerate the unexpectedly prolific littering habits of the general British public. 3. To be barred from making changes to accounts that I have personally [...]

Relief and Vindication

Can we just talk about how my newly formed and wholly consuming love for the chiropractic arts? I’m one of those people—please tell me it’s not just me—who manage to hurt themselves in the most ridiculously mundane ways possible. Not the ones who contract rare subtropical diseases when stranded in remote areas after parachute malfunctions, [...]

A Valentine’s Gift

Just in time (barely) for Valentine’s, I thought I would pass along my Official Ballad Singalong Playlist. Okay, so technically, not a large percentage of them are actually ballads, but they are all ridiculously sentimental and great for singing. “Always On My Mind”—Willie Nelson “As Long As You Love Me”—Backstreet Boys “Can’t Help Falling In [...]

What I Did on My Christmas Vacation

Among other things: I knitted this thing! And it only took me a month! I’m especially proud of it because I only used a pattern to figure out how to do the knotted cables in the middle. The rest is all me. Stephan helped me decide what to do and I got the fancier-than-normal yarn [...]

Resolved

New Year’s resolutions and I don’t really get on. The problem with resolving to do something every day, forever, is that a) it’s quite daunting, and b) as soon as you break the resolution, which, let’s face it, is going to happen sooner or later, you throw in the towel completely since the possibility of [...]

Mmm…Resinous Secretions

Stephan and I have been vegan(ish) for a few years now. It’s only “ish” because while we are 98% vegan at home (you would not believe the things they slip whey powder into over here!), we don’t try as hard when we’re out. This is because a) it is a giant pain and b) we [...]

Everywhere You Look

Some of the most important things I know, I’ve learned through song. Things like: a) all 50 states in alphabetical order (“fifty nifty United States from 13 original colonies) b) the 10 Commandments, King James Version, verbatim (required for a high school religion class [not the song, just the verbatim part]) c) who told the [...]

I Win

I knew that one trip to the Maui Walmart and the wise tutelage of Ms. Lori would come in handy one day. Introducing the only way I can leave the house: At least if I want to wear any kind of shoe, which my personal feet and most places of business (presumably) encourage.
