7th-May-2008 10:08 am - Kitten update!

You may as well skip this unless you care about my cats, because it's going to be hella boring otherwise.

Things are going okay. We've let Juniper out of the office and into the main part of the house a few times. Rosie mostly follows her around and growls and occasionally hisses. She's tried to swat at Juniper twice, and neither time with claws, so I guess that's not so bad.

It really sucks to see Rosie so upset, though. I'm used to thinking that we provide a safe, happy home for her and she's generally a really happy, cuddly cat. I feel like I've ruined her home and she'll never forgive me.

Also, it's like impossible to sleep in the same room as a kitten. She spends all night bouncing around on me, purring, mewing in my ear, playing with my hair, etc. I love her to death, but I would also love to sleep.

4th-May-2008 05:19 pm - Yesterday I did two things...

I cleaned our office and got a kitten!

The two are, in fact, related, since the kitten and I are currently living in the office. Well, more the kitten than me. I just slept in there last night so that she wouldn't be scared and lonely. The poor little thing cries whenever I leave the room.

The kitten's going to stay in the office for a while until Rosie can deal with meeting her. Rosie is not so much impressed with the new-kitten development.

Matt and I had been talking about getting another cat for a while, and yesterday we went to St. Lawrence Market with my friend Mandy, and then everything went black and when I woke up I was in a cab with a Humane Society box on my lap. Mandy is a bad influence.

We haven't named the kitten yet, although I am thinking maybe Juniper? I don't know why, she just looks like a Juniper to me. She's really sweet and adorable and purry. She slept with me under the covers last night. She's also pretty crazy and hyperactive, but that's kind of like, duh, obviously she is, she's a kitten.

Anyway, you should give me your suggestions for names and also any suggestions on how to make it easier for two cats to cohabitate without killing each other, and even maybe ending up loving each other! Also, you should look at pictures of my new little darling here:

 Not much to report here except that it's SUNNY and it's going up to 20 on Thursday and I love spring in Toronto! I'm so excited to see flowers and leaves on the trees again! I am also excited to be able to stop wearing pants soon, ie. I am going to wear skirts and dresses every single day. I love sundress time!

Also, I have to go to work later, but I got to sleep in today, and that always helps. 

Also, I really, really, really want a bike, with a big wicker basket on the front. I'm searching craigslist every day - I'll let you know how this goes!

Hopefully my good mood lasts the day!

Facebook - is it worth my time?

Or should I continue to be pathetically proud that I'm the last person on earth without either a Facebook account or a cell phone?

It's been a while since I wrote something other than a random short post or a long complain-y post, so I thought that I would do a proper update.

The end of March was the one year anniversary of my arrival in Toronto and, now that winter's finally over, I'm liking the city a lot more. I've made a few friends, and found a few old high school friends, so things are pretty good on that front. Work generally keeps me really busy but on the whole I'm enjoying it, so I can't really make any complaints. It's nice to be at head office twice a week - it definitely helped with the monotony I was feeling.

April 8th is the anniversary of the day that Kurt Cobain's body was found, apparently - it's also the anniversary of when Matt and I first hooked up at a cast party three years ago. Matt had to be in Kitchener-Waterloo at the end of last week for work, and I had Thursday and Friday off, so we decided to do the anniversary celebrating thing then. It was really fun - we went out for dinner, we went for a walk, and then we went back to the hotel and had hot-anniversary-hotel sex. Then we watched movies on his laptop and passed out.

The hotel we stayed at had this bed-and-breakfast deal where if you paid an extra ten dollars for your room, you got to have breakfast in their café. The breakfast was SO. GOOD. We were only supposed to get a coffee, a juice and an entrée each, but our waitress was this cozy Cape Breton woman and she let us have whatever we wanted. I had this giant fruit and yogurt parfait thing and also toast. I want more. I think about this fruit parfait thing on like a daily basis, but I'm not sure that I could re-create it properly. It's sad for me, it really is.

I magically had Sunday off, too, so we went for a long walk in Bloor West Village and ate ice cream and then walked in High Park and held hands and giggled like teenagers. Have I mentioned that I love Matt? Because I do. That was really kind of the point of this post. I'm not really very good at expressing positive emotions, especially talking about how I love people, so I wanted to make a point of saying how much I love this dude and how happy I am that we're still together three years later and he still makes me really happy. Even if he did make an awesome stirfry last night while I was at work and the house smelled SO GOOD when I got home and he hadn't saved me any leftovers. Even while I was busy being hungry and annoyed about my lack of stirfry, I still loved him. So I guess it's meant to be.

THE END

 I went with my friend to see Basia Bulat play at Lee's Palace last night. SO. GOOD.  Any band that has an autoharp, a viola, an accordian and a banjo on stage gets my endorsement.

I'm totally smitten.
25th-Mar-2008 09:58 pm - 1000 Tiny Things This Dude Hates
 Okay, so this blog is pretty much my new favourite thing:

http://tinythingsihate.blogspot.com/

Because I do hate a lot of things!

Garrett showed it to me, and he would like me to say that his favourite thing to hate is #65, the ramekin.

I would like to state for the record that my favourite thing to hate so far is #57, prison:

"I have my doubts that I'd survive the prison scenario. There are some things I'm pretty confident about. For example I've always had a feeling in my gut that, if I ever needed to, I could pilot and land a helicopter without any formal training. I'm 99% sure I could do that.

But prison, I fear prison may be my Achilles' heel.

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to admire about the prison set-up. I like the fact that all prisoners have the same bedtime. Saves on any nonsense. Like you'd never get your cellmate rolling in at five in the morning, then waking you up by really noisily making a cheese toastie. That's on the plus side.

Then there's the fact that prison seems to be the last remaining place where it's socially acceptable to bully someone just for wearing glasses. Which I have to say I admire.

It's just the whole 'lights out' situation that worries me. I'm a pretty big 'bed-reader', and to be honest, I wouldn't take too kindly to someone turning the lights off midway through a chapter.

Obviously this something I'd try explaining to the prison warden/governor. I'm just not 100% convinced they'd understand."

SO. AWESOME.
