I suppose I've been like many people that started here on lj and have moved sideways (backwards) to facebook for quick updates and non-trivial statements about my day to day existence. I, for one, am a little sick of it and want to try to swing myself back to more lj time. This venue allows me to say all the things I want to say and feel and ( Read more... )

How can I have not posted anything in a month? I've been lurking here, ready everything, rarely commenting but having nothing to say for myself ( Read more... )

Joined a gym on Tuesday, have been there every day since and damn, I hurt. Tomorrow hopefully a 20 mile or so bike ride, if you can believe it. I've never tried to be in shape before in my entire life, never actually worked at it and this is a lot tougher than just cycling.

Let's see how we get through the weekend.

Saw Iron Man 2 this afternoon ( Read more... )

The train just started it's short trip back to Seattle WA from Portland OR. I shall miss this city. It is so vibrant, different, weird, extraordinary, and fun. Our hotel room was fantastic, it must have had just about as many square feet as the main floor of our bungalow back in Ottawa (which was small). There was a wonderfully deep, two person ( Read more... )

So I got two of my appointments made and I feel good about getting the ball rolling but I'm depressed because I'm depressed and feel the need to find a therapist. Ah, I love this feeling of bewilderment and hopelessness.

Right now I'm watching an old episode of Buffy on LOGO and it's the one where the swim team turns into sea creatures. Sure, ( Read more... )

I'm drinking beer, can you believe it? I'm drinking non-Caribbean beer, I haven't been able to do this since first year university back in 1991.  For some reason I seem to be able to stomach it again after all these years.  Yes, I drank WAY TOO MUCH beer during the first half of my first year of university and haven't been able to touch the stuff ( Read more... )

Have just friended some more "down memory lane" friends on FB and I'm feeling kind of strange about it.  Some of them I'm going to see in a week or two, this is after almost 20 years since I've seen them last.  I suppose the time has come for me to face all of this.  Don't know how it will be, I really wish dragonflyboy  was going to be with me when we all ( Read more... )

It was cool enough last night for dragonflyboy  and I to get on our bikes and take the trail to the movie theatrre.  We saw Funny People which had a couple of good laughs, amazing cameos, and a very sweet storyline.  I *heart* Seth Rogan, I just can't seem to be able to get enough of him lately.  Yes, dragonflyboy  is shocked to his core that I like Superbad, I can't help ( Read more... )

dragonflyboy  has made his own version of a cooling fan using ice, copper piping, fountain pump, cooler, and of course, a fan.  It's not too bad, definite coolness coming from it which is hopefully going to help the heat situation.  I've already had to clean up cat barf after Rascal was panting in the heat.  Lovely.

Need to find some kick ass Tru Blood icons, I ( Read more... )

*knock knock knock* Anybody out there?  I seem to be drifting away from my lj and it's really bugging me.  I think I have to put a big effort into posting here much more often.  Twitter and Facebook are getting the better of me but putting my thoughts and feelings down into a couple of words just isn't cutting it, I think I'm loosing my ability to ( Read more... )
