You know, there’s this service where people who are desperately in need but have very limited funds, can have a housekeeping service come over once or twice a week, subsidized, at least in part, by the government. I, however, am not visibly or physically disabled in anyway that would qualify me, which is very unfortunate,…

Wine, Wrestling and Weight Watchers
So I haven’t written in days but promised myself in advance that today would be the day to end the writing drought and naturally, last night I drank the better part of a bottle of wine, or two, rendering me a little brain-dead this morning. Speaking of which, I’d like to bring to the board a…
Hangovers, Hockey, And Yet Another Failed Stalking Attempt
Yesterday Other Jen and I went for a brunch at this super cute cafe in Mile End, on the corner of Esplanade and Fairmount. The atmosphere was cozy and the decor inspiring to the point that I became temporarily (I’m over it now) certain that i needed to have a cage of barred soap…
On The Eleventh Day Of The New Year
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Um… no offense or anything, but I’m not even entirely sure on where “we” stand as it is. I mean, sure, we have fun and stuff but if you’re going to insist on exclusivity, I have other options to consider before committing 100%. I’m not going…
Proud of my Dad
The thing is, that all kids have moments of being embarrassed and/or ashamed of their parents. I have been blessed with growing up with not one, not two or even three, but six parents and let me tell you, there is enough fuel to feed the shame of an army of Jens in that…
My Cat Is An Asshole
I SWEAR I had every intention of writing a cheerful post today, I honestly did. Sadly, Sheldon had to go and ruin it for all of you with his greed-driven sense of self entitlement. I have been having a really assy couple of weeks. I was overbooked, overworked, bitten by a chinchilla, subsequently immunized…
Free Stuff, Serial Killers And Liberty
Well, I just realized how misleading that title is and felt a little guilty for potentially (but accidentally) luring Genevieve to the site with promises of serial killers. Not guilty enough to change the title mind you… So here’s the thing. In a nutshell, for those of you with short attention spans, I gave…
I’m A I’m A Giant Crybaby And Other Reasons I Shouldn’t Have To Work
Sunday afternoon I went to see Brent sing with The McGill Choral Society & Women Making Music. I was fine for the first half (Bach) and all through intermission but as soon as the second half (Choir/Audience Sing-A-Long Christmas carols) started, with Silent Night, I started to cry. I have had this issue for many years…
Chou Gatta Prolehghm??
I do. I have a problem and it’s pretty much making me insane. For a week now my mouth tastes like butter. Yep. Butter. And everything I eat tastes like it has butter on it. And everything I drink tastes like it has butter in it. And God knows how delicious an ice cold glass…
I’ve Been Derailed And I Can’t Get Up
Ack!! I’m lost. I’m confused. I haven’t run for a week. I am equally as far behind on tasks and projects. I’m doing okay in The Artist’s Way as far as daily morning pages, writing exercises and weekly tasks are concerned, except for ONE REALLY IMPORTANT ONE. The Artist Date. I am supposed to…
