So, Magus has been in Montreal since Thursday for an extended Bachelor Party, which means I have the place all to myself! (Near as I can tell, they are all having a great time up there :-D) This all means time spent with my Mom ( Read more... )

Nine years ago I had the pleasure of spending the summer in Australia. One of my biggest regrets over the past near-decade I have had about that excursion was that I had the chance to get a hand-made-for-me didgeridoo and I didn't take it. Now, I feel that I can add something else to that list ( Read more... )

but damn, that was an enjoyable run. I have no idea what my times were because I was completely enthralled by the post-rain scents in the air. The entire run, all I could think of was when I was back in the Australian rainforest (like, nine years ago). Every single scent out there tonight, and the level of humidity in the air, and the overall ( Read more... )

Several things in no real order:( Behind a cut because its a bit long )

I'm at 46,288 words folks! I'm aiming for an even 47K tonight. This is going to happen, without fail. the only question will be will I be able to kick out the last 3K tomorrow, or will it be split between tomorrow and Friday. Baring in mind that I have a 5-mile race tomorrow morning, followed by two T-day dinners, and then most likely we shall ( Read more... )

I've signed up for Nanowrimo. I have a few possible plot ideas in my head already, so hopefully one of them will pan out. This should be interesting ( Read more... )

There is a puggle sleeping in my living room right now. He's rather adorable ( Read more... )

I'll admit to having been a more then just a TAD nervous/upset with my "performance" at the tri on Sunday. I felt like I was in awful shape, mostly due to my own negligent training schedule. And I was seriously doubting my ability to get up to par for the marathon a the end of next month. However, last night's run gave me hope. I managed to kick ( Read more... )

Magus and I went for a run together yesterday. Before we had even hit the quarter mile mark, he was outpacing me, and I had an uncomfortable tingle in my right calf. By the 1 mile mark, he was a good 1:30 ahead of me, and my leg was throbbing. 15 minutes into the run, he doubled back to meet up with me, and I was no longer able to run. Instead I ( Read more... )

This weekend Magus and I went down to page5grrl's and emmmitt's place. Wherein we got to watch the premiere of BSG season 4 (review still to come), ate "breakfast" at Artfully Chocolate (super-duper condensed dark hot chocolate so rich it's served in an espresso cup is AMAZING), played Super Smash Brothers for the Wii, went to a local dog park with 5's family ( ( Read more... )
