I have good news and bad news today.

The good news first: my computer is back (and working)! :D I'm so glad I've got cookies back now . . . no more logging in all the time. I'm going to work on updating VSNS Lemon now, since it does have some bugs that could be worked out and features too.

Now for the bad news: I feel sick. :( Sneezing, snuffling, tired and sore throat…

At 96 pages, Word gave up. It decided that my novel had too many spelling errors for it to mark up anymore, and promptly advised me that I was an idiot and should use spell check. Those red squiggles that underline mispelt words then disappeared. How I miss them. :(

I don't actually spell many words wrong, but I do make up a lot of places and names. I'm just too lazy to add those…

Sometimes I'm running a bit late in the mornings, and I run to the bus stop for fear of missing my bus. Inevitably, the bus itself is late and I end up actually waiting in the cold, after running frantically to get to the stop!

One would think that after a few of these episodes, I'd stop running, eh? Nope. I live in perpetual fear. :D

Many of you know that Cookie Monster now eats cookies as a "sometimes" food. rolleyes Now, I am as much against rising child obesity as the next intelligent superluminal particle. It is a problem, especially in developed countries like Canada. But this . . . this goes too far!

The Christmas season is now upon us, and it has got me thinking (yes! :o). Santa really isn't all that different from Cookie Monster; he's this…

I actually meant to post last night (or, I guess, very early this morning would be more correct) but never got around to it. :D

We've got a set of those plastic ice cube tray things at home. Now, like any good plastic ice cube tray, it has started to break. Portions of the plastic are tearing right where the cube-cup thing joins with the little skeleton along the top. For some reason, this means…

Anyone in for some "audience participation"? :w00t:

Okay, so Laura posted this on her blog, and told me to put it on mine as well. I normally don't like chain things like this, but why not? I'm thinking of having more contest-like participation things for those of you crazy enough to read me. :D

Here's the deal: I want you to email me with a completely made up and fictional memory of you and…

The inclement weather, consisting mostly of snow, made the highways too difficult for the buses to traverse today, so most rural kids did not go to school. That's okay, small classes are good. Then, during period two, the principal announced that rural buses would be leaving at noon, so most rural kids who were at school left at noon (some stayed).

So we didn't do much during drama (which was cut short by a drinking…

So the Liberal minority government has fallen (and not even mightily), thus the polls shall open soon and the election bells will toll alongside the yuletide ones.

It's not very unexpected, eh. I mean, we've known for the past few weeks that a non-confidence motion was going to happen. We've known that the Bloc, NDP, and Conservatives would team up to defeat the Liberals. There was very little doubt.

Then it actually happens.

It…

I had an awesome day. You can tell, because I only use the word "awesome" when I'm in a good mood, and then I tend to overuse it.

It was raining all today and the rural buses were cancelled, stranding a few peers out in the country. Some got rides to school (whew . . . good thing too) but a few people couldn't make it. As a result, my English class was virtually barren,…

I had to go to the dentist today. waits for all the sympathetic hugs to pour in. :'(

Thanks. :D It wasn't as bad as I thought it could be; I don't have any cavities. But I do need to brush better and floss more. I know this, and I have no good excuse for not having shiny white teeth. It just doesn't happen that way. :no:

I can never decide which is worse: the…
