I always think that time management has a lot more to do with priorities than it does with delayed gratification or anything of the sort — this is probably true for me: the amount of personal pampering I neglect because I want to focus on something semi-more productive in another way indicates this pretty well… Continue reading On procrastination and time management

… of interpreting a situation. And I'm sometimes shocked and surprised at how my behaviour and others' behaviour is interpreted. I wonder at how the social mores of different situations and environments can be interpreted so differently. What I might think of as a complex nuanced situation might be straight forward for another person. What… Continue reading There are only so many ways…

… and maybe my mini-wrimo attempts are futile this year, but I'll keep on writing sporadically throughout the month regardless. We'll see how many posts I'll complete. What I do know is that it was really good for me to play some video games (Animal Crossing Amiibo Party and Lego Dimensions mostly unless you could… Continue reading Sometimes a weekend of board games and whatnot is just what a person needs

I think and reflect, like many years on what has come before. But this year, too, I worry about what might yet come to pass. Now is a time when I don't want to think about the future in certain terms: after all, I have read far too many dystopian novels. I've read far too… Continue reading On this Remembrance Day

Even my music collection on random knows what I want to listen to. I've been sitting and relaxing with Leonard Cohen songs this evening after my Pokemon GO walk and while I do read the occasional snippet of social media, there's only so much of that that I can handle this week. People from all… Continue reading Leonard Cohen

Yesterday I didn't blog. Instead I came home from work with a headache, read some delightful comics, and then attended the 2016 CIBC Canada Russia Series hockey game at Rogers Place. I'm not sure I'll even continue my efforts at blogging every day in November, but given the circumstances, I figured I'd blog today anyway.… Continue reading So much for… well… so many things: but we move on.

I was very tempted to give up on mini-wrimo this year and just not write at all after Extra Life. My heart didn't seem into it, or anything and today I simply felt too tired (I blame Extra Life and the time change, and will go to bed shortly). But then I turned my computer… Continue reading Should I continue to try to write every day?

And I dare say, I did a decent enough job at getting donations that I'm not disappointed. We did start dozing off a bit during the last few games of the 25 hours of gaming, this morning, and I did neglect to blog post yesterday, but I did kind of expect that that was likely… Continue reading Well Extra Life is done for another year…

So if you're a fan of helping kids, in particular sick kids in hospitals such as the Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, I highly recommend donating to my Extra Life fundraiser. Starting at 8am EDT tomorrow and ending at 8am EST Sunday (6am MDT and 6am MST locally), Jon and I will be playing… Continue reading Oh gosh Extra Life is in mere HOURS!

So this evening I took a 10K Pokemon GO walk. My goal initially was just to hatch my 5K egg, but then I figured why not hatch a second one, instead of just the first such egg and then I kept walking to get home. The downside of this, is that I was wearing my… Continue reading On games…
