Convert
Posted by: Nicole on: July 27, 2008
I have become a convert.
For the last while, my laptop was acting all weird with internet exploder 7.0. It was slow – to click a link would take a good 5 seconds to turn from a pointer into a hand, and then another 3 seconds past the time I clicked to actually start loading the [...]
Bounty: the Farmer’s Market
Posted by: Nicole on: July 26, 2008
I just got back from the Farmer’s Market that’s held every Saturday from May to October here. The end of July is usually a good time to go – crops are at their best around here, despite the cool-ish weather we’ve been having.
Today I picked up this bag of stuff:
Shall we see what’s inside?
(yes, yes, [...]

Pizza is ordered, wine is poured. [...]
Loss and Return; Principle and Faith

Edited to add: this post took a left turn on me. Apologies if it rambles.
Aspeth is back! And you should read her post here.
When I recreated this blog after getting hacked, there was part of it I didn’t post. A very important part of my story.
Back in 2001, I was sort-of-in-denial-dating Marty. Marty had been [...]

Edited to add: those are not my feet. Those are Darren’s feet and legs. Mine are somewhat less hairy. When I have razor blades and shaving gel anyways.
My Eyes Were As Big As Saucers
Posted by: Nicole on: July 20, 2008
I went to the optometrist yesterday and he put those dilate-your-pupils-to-blind-you-completely drops. I normally beg off on them, but this time I had to have them so that he could stare deep into my eyes and tell me my eyeballs are perfectly healthy. In fact, he hasn’t seen such healthy eyeballs (except for the myopia) [...]

But! I am going to type it anyways. Who knows? It may actually keep me on track this weekend.
To Do
Shower (believe me, I need a shower)
Drive to Coquitlam to have a pre-op appointment for laser surgery in which they will probably make my pupils huge and with my luck I’ll get pulled over on the [...]
Transport 2040
Posted by: Nicole on: July 17, 2008
The other night, I went to a townhall meeting with TransLink where they presented their Transport 2040 strategy.
Now, at the risk of sounding forgiving, you have to realize that they’ve been given a nearly impossible task. On January 1, 2008, some new legislation kicked in that said they had to have a plan of some sort [...]

I didn’t realize it had been quite that long since I wrote about the Elephant on My Head. I feel much better now.
So, first things first, the password for the post below can be acquired in two ways.
It is the name of the character that said, “Life…don’t talk to me about life” from a certain [...]

On Monday, I ate a chocolate bar. A Mars bar. And you know what? It tasted damn good.
(cue body nudging me)
On Tuesday, I had ice cream. It also tasted damn good.
(cue body kicking me in the shin)
On Wednesday, I had another Mars bar. It tasted really damn good.
(cue body beating me over the head)
Why does [...]
