Today seems determined to (musically) depress me, but in beautiful ways. No, no, hang on, stick with me, here. I'll make sense in a moment.

I finally got around to watching the second episode of Cracked, a new Canadian police procedural about a newly-formed "Psych Crimes Unit" tasked with calls that deal with the diversity of people suffering from ( Read more... )

Might I just share a little something that's been making me happy of late? ...Really? Cool. It's really nice of you to stop by and listen. ^_ ( Read more... )

You know, you wouldn't think it, but sometimes, venting to your Flist not only makes you feel better, but actually solves the problem. ^_^

The item I really, desperately wanted in the help_haiti auction but lost out on? Not only did everyone who commented make me feel better (plus some behind-the-scenes petting by folks whom I talk to most often via other ( Read more... )

I'm fairly certain there is a gray partridge (and baby bird) in my front garden right now. Huh. ETA: Make that a (possibly mating) pair of gray partridges (the angle was odd at first, so I thought one was tiny) and until they retired the field, a pair of quarrelling black squirrels. I love squirrels, but it always makes me chuckle when I think of ( Read more... )

I am completely behind on emails, comments, and my Flist. My apologies.

However, I have been to a concert, and I know this because... despite being a non-smoker (of all kinds), my hair and clothes smell like pot. *snort* My throat is raw, and I'm exhausted beyond telling. (I fear that email will have to wait until morning, ithiliana, but I'll get it done ( Read more... )

*points up at icon* The things I do for that man. Really. Tsk. So last night, I found myself watching the Brit Awards (broadcast on CBC) because our Mr. Bean was a presenter ( Read more... )

Back from dinner and 4 hour concert with brodeurbunny30 (Three Days Grace, Theory of a Deadman, Mobile, and Idle Sons). Spoiled rotten by Bunnies of Brodeur. ♥ Buoyed spirits somewhat, although still doggedly insisting on playing chicken with emo grunge kids ( Read more... )

...Why do so many of the songs I listen to have (admittedly not safe, sane and/or consensual) BDSM bents? I swear I'm not picking bands consciously for it.

*wanders off dazed, having finally paid attention to the lyrics of "Pain" by Three Days Grace*

ETA: Ok fine, now I'm combing through my CDs to see what I can come up with. *facepalm*

( Maybe it's just me... )

Oh, good lord I'm behind.

So, um, some rather Belated Birthday wishes to sundew, wyrdteacher, writes, gigitrek and hithluin. Sorry about that, ladies, but anyway...

Happy Birthday!
I sincerely hope that the year ahead brings you all nothing but happiness.

And things that make today good, despite the imminent specter of work looming:

- Dancing with the Stars is on tonight, and I'm ( Read more... )

So a couple days ago I decided that even though I work late, I had more than enough time to take advantage of the free-with-admission rock show at the Stampede yesterday (Monday) night. Besides, Theory of a Deadman was playing and I've never seen them live, despite the fact that they hit town on a pretty regular basis.

( So. The concert. Er... it was... it was an experience? )
