yeah maybe

05Apr10

Perhaps I should actually bother to make some use of this site I pay annually for. The usual happens, something worth logging occurs, I decide that I will in fact write about it, then time decides it won’t have me doing no such thing. I could always make the time, but then It would be [...]

freshly rigged

Meet “Hubert” my new baby. He’s just over a month old now and is up to all sorts of trouble. I’d go into more details but then I’d just be bragging, and I don’t do that. *Ahem*
Nearly at the end of my guard duty down on Powell street. Ironically the knickers I mentioned in [...]

Well, this is it. I have accepted a new position at work, so for the next two months I will be hauling my sleep deprived self all the way down to Powell & Victoria. The big news is that I’ve been placed in charge for this hiatus. I always knew it would happen eventually, just [...]

New Commute

08Sep09

The lazy days of Summer are over. Scarves and boots are being dug out of closets, a surplus of solitary occupied vehicles have joined the stuffed to capacity buses and trolleys on the streets, and rain is in the forecast.

Tomorrow evening I will be participating in the JJ Bean Coffee Roasters in-house barista competition. The desirable outcome of this event will be to select 2? 3? baristi to represent our company in the upcoming Western Regional Barista Competition in August. My nerves are an absolute wreck.
Competition is something I’m unfamiliar with, it is foreign [...]

Almost eleven-o-clock at night on a Sunday and I’ve got a strange craving for a sugar loaded grape Crush soda. Let me pause before continuing so I can collect one of these delicious treats.
Several minutes pass
Well so much for that idea. The grocer across the street probably hasn’t had a carbonated grape drink pass through [...]

last man to fly

10Feb09

While working diligently on my up and coming design studio I of course come across lots of goodies I would like to procure, you know, for research materials. Books are always a welcome addition to any home and something I feel I should spend more time with. This being said, my time should really start [...]
