I believe that most horror movies aren’t scary at all. I believe that a good cup of coffee can make your day. I believe that whatever it was that Rocky the Dog wanted last night wasn’t that important because he ended up laying down when I refused to get up again. I believe that outdoor [...]

Nothing is worse for a writer than a blank page.  Rejection comes in at a close second, but a blank page is more terrorizing…more frightening.  It sits there in front of you, tormenting you like some sort of wizard’s experiment gone wrong until you either give up or get on with it. Right now I’m [...]

I’m seriously addicted to Farmville.  It’s the perfect game for someone stuck in front of a computer all day long with not much to do.  Perfect. I had a headache all day yesterday. It just kept coming back, like some sort of bad booty call. Taylor Swift is just about on my last nerve.  She [...]

Even though I promised myself only one trip to Tim Hortons this week for breakfast, I went yesterday and today.  I felt as if I deserved it since yesterday I left my coffee in the car all day.  That means yesterday doesn’t count. I took a long nap at work yesterday. Usually if I’m tired, [...]

Not only am I the clumsiest person you’ve ever met, sometimes I’m the most idiotic.  I mean that with the utmost love and affection possible for one’s self.  But it’d be silly if I didn’t admit it…I can be quite daft. Take last weekend, for example.  Remember all of the hullabaloo I raised about not [...]
