There are a ton of different topics I'd like to type about right now, but I guess I'll just choose one for this particular posting. And that topic is ballroom dance, specifically the dance I attended on Saturday night. You see it had been well over a year since I had last attended any ballroom… Continue reading Dancing again

So it's Day of DH today. So rather than reading my usual musings here… check out my blog for the day at: http://dayofdh2012.artsrn.ualberta.ca/alikira/ Now back to your regularly scheduled programming, I guess.

This thought has come to mind several times in the past several days, that while I don't really want to do a 'bucket list' so to speak that it would be useful to have a list on my blog of some of the awesome things THAT I HAVEN'T DONE YET that I would like to… Continue reading Fun things… (I would like to do at some point)

On Saturday night, while playing board games, I got a headache. I still consider the fact that this headache was the worst of my life to be true, though perhaps in retrospect I'm a bit less worried about it than I was when it was the most painful. Long story short, Sunday was mainly a… Continue reading Thoughts on a few lost days…

Seeing as I work today at the Gocery store, I'm not entirely looking forward to it. Then again it does help to put my wrist brace thingys on… so maybe I ought to wear those more often while doing transcription? (I'm thinking that that was when they got aggravated this time around, though I'm not… Continue reading My wrists are still being annoying and…

So life goes on. Nothing new in THAT regard really. My wrist is being all annoying today and the only thing I can think of as a cause this time is the transcription work that I was doing the other day (which is rather unfortunate as I need to do at least 40 times that… Continue reading Physical activity, wrists, online dating…

… though it was a damn unusual one! I had stayed up late the night before playing Civilization V, and had had trouble sleeping (probably for having been up too late), and then got awoken by a 'Happy Valentine's Day' text message before sleeping fitfully until like noon, and not feeling like getting out of… Continue reading I had a good Scott Pilgrim Movie Day aka. Valentine's Day…

… and it's not as if it has to be ballroom or anything in particular. So this week I've been pretty busy (procrastinating but also being quasi-social). And it feels good, though with the exception that today pretty much all my muscles hurt. And that's 'cause for a somewhat sedentary woman such as I am… Continue reading Last night made me realize just how much I love to dance…

… I really didn't get much substantial work done this January with reference to my more academic behaviours: sure I got a few abstracts off to conferences, and got my thesis proposal approved, and I guess I also presented at the Forum for Information Professionals, but all things told, I did probably the minimum of… Continue reading As January draws to a close…

So while I was in Indianapolis, there was literally like unlimited access to food. And I love variety so definitely overate. Not perhaps as badly as I could have, but I definitely ate more than I needed. Once I got home I was back to my more normal habits of grazing a bit, so that… Continue reading Food etc.
