Let's catch up, shall we ( Read more... )

Heard back from MPI! The number they gave me for a write-off value is actually fair. I'm just as surprised as you are. However, if I were to accept the write-off amount and then go buy a scooter of my liking, I'd be shelling out an additional $1,000 or so. Considering Starscream is still running just fine, I don't want to incur that cost, ( Read more... )

I've found this somewhat interesting: Maybe it's just what I watch, but I've noticed more women-on-men rape in media. The examples I have are:

1. Season 4 of True Blood. Jason Stackhouse is held captive, tortured, and then raped by several women (they were hoping to be impregnated by him). It wasn't entirely treated as a joking matter. He ( Read more... )

It is a beautiful day outside! The weather is around 0*C, the sun is shining, and not a breeze to be found. I'm almost tempted to go for a bike ride. However, I have more fear of drivers now that the snow is out than I would normally. We'll see if I do go. Maybe I'll just take the dogs for a walk or something ( Read more... )

I was super excited this weekend to discover that Netflix has the Xena series on it. I loved that show as a tween/teen! So cheesy and delightful, plus I'm a sucker for Greek mythology, even though it wasn't exactly accurate in the show. I got to thinking: Why did everyone assume Xena and Gabrielle had a sexual relationship? Granted, the ( Read more... )

I had tattoo #24 done yesterday on my left wrist. Hooray! I have been thinking about this tattoo for nearly a year and a few weeks ago I had a dream about it. That to me means it needed to be done. ( Check it out... )

Today is mine and Andrew's anniversary. Unfortunately, he had to work and we can never seem to plan anything in advance for our anniversary. *lol* That is to say, the day was treated like any other Sunday. Oh well, what can you do? We should try to plan more carefully for next year since it'll be the big one ( Read more... )

Well, an evening below zero means I'm not scooting tomorrow morning even though it'll be like +16 by the afternoon. Ah well. We had such a beautiful summer. Maybe I can get a couple more weeks of scooting/bicycling weather yet. I covered up the tomatoes, but I probably shouldn't do that much longer. I just want them to be ripe before plucking, ( Read more... )

Alright!

So, I heard about Holy Crap cereal months ago, first from my sister and then I saw the owners pitching it on Dragons' Den. I was intrigued, but put off by the fact they require a minimum order of 3 bags. What if I didn't like it? I'd be stuck with 3 bags of crap cereal. When I was at Vita Health last week, one of my co-workers pointed ( Read more... )

Ah, provincial holiday. I <3 you, even though you got a stupid name.

I tend to get a little swept up in some products we see on Dragons' Den every once in awhile. We watched one we recorded this weekend and they had Pixie Glassworks aromatherapy pendants. While no one invested in the company, I thought it was pretty neat and checked it out. ( Read more... )
