So this Halloween was busier than most. I did have a blast and was featured in a rather large number of photographs (most of which I have yet to see). I started my day with a trip to work to see costumes (many of which were amazing… including a certain 'The Donald' imitator, some Vegas… Continue reading Halloween: the aftermath (or apparently Pirate/Ninja makes a great conversation starter…)

… and other entertainment. Yep, that's how this week's been going, entertaining. Last night Beth and I went and saw Zack and Miri Make a Porno (the new Kevin Smith flick). This was rather entertaining (though I did find myself wondering whether or not the film was an experiment on how many times seemingly ordinary… Continue reading Zack and Miri…

actual words said during the donning of my Halloween costume for the first time. This was pre-UADC Halloween dance. I'm very much in awe of Olwyn's skills in making me the skirt and sleeves (yes, eventually I'll post pictures… of course I'm at least 6 months behind at picture posting… but eventually!).

You know what I'm not enjoying this week? Hearing bad news and not being able to do much (if anything) about it.

I feel like I'm… Continue reading I'm tired of bad news…

… is echoed in your mind? Well I have that now. But for good reason mind you! So after getting all the reference letter forms off to my most excellent references (woo!)

So today I've been working at a chunk of the things on my massive to-do list (and unfortunately not getting anywhere near as much accomplished as I would hope: probably even making a BIGGER mess of my room than it was before, simply trying to find things… like a rather old photograph for example… gosh… Continue reading Venting re: the Internet

So yes, Alena sprung this one on me — as she had warned, but still! Perhaps it's too many years volunteering for my favorite Week of Welcome events, but really there's no harm in volunteering, is there?
