I have to set the scene: I’m sitting on the couch doing some kind of seated Twist dance to Ray Charles. The 50s and 60s radio station on Sky Digital is genius. I sent in my report this morning. Oh relief! I think it was ok, not great, but hopefully it will do. Now I’m… Read more »

Christmas Cards
Yesterday I posted about how excited I am for Christmas and last night I decided that I will make my own Christmas cards this year instead of buying them. Though, I have to say, I usually try to at least get nice bought cards. However, I think I am not alone when I say that… Read more »
Fitness and Weight-loss
A few months ago I created a blog over at Blogpot to track my weight-loss, fitness and how I was progressing with veganism. Shortly after it’s creation I went out of town for a couple of months to Auckland and stopped posting in it. Now I’m going to revive those subjects in this blog and… Read more »
Bulleted and Random
I’m doing a list post today because I have lots of little random bits to write about and none are big enough for their own post. I am finally making progress on my assignment and it’s going fairly well thus far. I should be done by Friday and hopefully the effort will be good enough… Read more »
Where art thou, Motivation?
I think I’ve given myself too much to do. I have all these lists of stuff I need or want to do and I’m getting so overwhelmed by the volume that all I seem to be doing lately is…nothing! I’m not accomplishing much of anything except that which is totally necessary or that I can… Read more »
Don’t Have To Look Back
Dinner on Thursday night was lovely. I had spoken to the restaurant ahead of time to let them know I’m vegan and to check if they had any options for me. They were wonderful and I ended up ordering mushrooms (I’m not sure of the variety, but they were large) stuffed with a mix of… Read more »
No Victory For Me
I’m going out for dinner tonight so I attempted to do a couple of victory rolls in my hair but failed miserably. It’s now is a bun. However, my point is this: Goddamnit, I just wanna do them in my hair! Why can’t I do them? Oh my God! Insert whining here. Oh, well. In… Read more »
Le Sigh
My day started off with the promise of being quite great but has progressively gotten worse. I think tiredness, stress and possibly hormones have a lot to do with how things have turned out. Things are stressful at the moment, partly because of my own reasons and partly outside sources such as certain family situations…. Read more »
The Baby Name Game
This is something a friend of mine posted on her MySpace and I thought I’d share it to demonstrate one of the ways humanity is going to shit. It’s amusing while also being really scary at the same time. How would you pronounce this student’s name: “Le-a”? Leah? NO Lee – A? NOPE Lay –… Read more »
Veganiversary
This month is my one-month “veganiversary”: one month of being vegan. I don’t have a definite date though, but I know it was some time during the week after September 7. I wish I had a definite date, but I’ll just have to make the whole month of September ‘Veganiversary Month’ from now on (hey,… Read more »
