The Daily Grind
In which I discover that it’s not you, it’s me
I don’t really like movies, I say this a lot but I’ve never really been able to elaborate on that rather pat statement. Also, I haven’t written published a post in a little over a year. These two things are entirely unrelated. I went to see a screening of Sarah Polley’s Take This Waltz, because … Continue reading
The part where I punch the gift horse squarely in the jaw
Seriously, things were off to a great start yesterday – that is if you could look past the dreary and unseasonably cold weather. I was ultra-productive, had a great week meeting and greeting the higher ups (new ones, who both described me as ‘awesome’), fleshed out my development goals which, in turn, led to my … Continue reading
“You make me hate my job!”
and other things I’d like to scream at my inept, but ultimately, well-meaning coworker. I’m a firm believer in not doing things simply for the sake of a paycheque (and equally grateful that I’m in a position both financial, and otherwise, to be able to make such a choice, because it is one of privilege). … Continue reading
Honourable Mentions
i suppose the only thing more gratifying than being recognized for a job well done within the company (something I’m pleased to have been on the receiving end of for the better part of the bottom half of the year) is having someone from your industry, but outside of your peer group praise your. …And … Continue reading
Team Hussy makes its triumphant return
Ugh. I’ve got a little crush, but it poses a bit of an ethical dilemma, and I’m totally not that person anymore that can just do something shitty and not care, unfortunately for my libido. So I’m trying to suppress it and pretend like it doesn’t exist, and maybe one day that will be true. … Continue reading
New favourite pastime
@foursquare finally launched in the #yeg area just in time for my bar-hopping weekend. My social calendar as of late meant that in no time at all, I ended up squarely at the top of the leaderboard for its launch week. I’ve played foursquare (formerly Dodgeball, which was eventually sold to Google) in New York … Continue reading

Fridays are the gateway drug to the weekend
Ugh, not feeling so hot this weekend after hitting the bottle pretty hard at the Dragonete show last night. The opening band, Ruby Jeand and The Thoughtful Bees was pretty good live, and I think they’ll be a group to look out for in the next few months-a year. I ran into old friends from … Continue reading
T minus seven days
After taking an admittedly impromptu three months off in the middle of the year, I almost don’t really feel like I need a vacation, but if you factor in the fact that I worked pretty much six to seven days a week for the last three years straight, I don’t really know what it’s like … Continue reading
Solitude amongst stangers
It has definitely been toolongsince I’ve taken in a show by my lonesome. I actually kind of prefer cozying up to the bar, pint of Keith’s Red in hand, to accompaniment, especially on a Sunday night. Some mediocre local act is opening for An Horse and I’m nursing the aforementioned beer while taking in my … Continue reading
