Because I have not updated in a while…

And, I really ought to update more often…

Think it’s too early for a New Year’s resolution?

Spring, Sprung, or Sprang…

scc — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 00:55:01 +0000

It seems that Spring arrives earlier and earlier, and Spring seems shorter and shorter every year…

The Monday following the shift to Daylight Savings Time is especially painful… even though Spring does not officially arrive until March 20th.

IMHO, whenever we spring forward, it throws off the natural changes of the seasons, as well as the individual rhythm of our lives.

My sleep patterns have been disrupted, and adjusting to a new sleep schedule has taken almost a whole week.

That time taken to adjust to a new sleep schedule, is time that I will never really get back—even when we fall back in Autumn.

Colour me annoyed.

Bullshit (BS, for short)

incorrect, or misleading language.
deceptive, or insincere posturing.
boastful talk, or behavior.

Bullshit is an expletive, commonly used Americans and Canadians alike.

Typically, bullshit is used in connection with something that is incorrect, or misleading.

The use of the word bullshit is often used to describe the talk, or behaviour, of someone who is bragging, or boastful.

Bullshit is comparable to the British word bollocks.

In my mind, bollocks is far more offensive. By definition, bollocks means testicles.

Because the word bullshit has evolved to have little, or nothing, to do with the excrement of bulls—bollocks is, by far, more offensive to me.

You think William Shakespeare ever had a case of The Mondays?

My Bloody Valentine

Continuing the Valentine’s Day tradition of viewing horror movies, the Frenchman and I are watching Friday the 13th I, II, III, and IV on MPIX.

To all those who sent birthday wishes via snail mail(s), email(s), phone call(s), facsimile(s), SMS(es), instant message(s), wall-to-wall message(s), comment(s), smoke signal(s)… telepathically, phonetically… as well as actual and virtual gift(s) of this, that, and the other thing(s), etc. etc. etc.

From the bottom of my heart…

I thank you. :)

2008 is long gone now. My birthday is (exactly) 1 month from today…

You have been warned.

In other news, T-Minus 24 days until Parliament resumes… how do I satiate my taste for Politics until then?

Decembernesses

It’s December.

There’s snow on the ground.

Christmas is in 3+ weeks.

2009 is just around the corner…

Time flies when you’re having fun… or something.

iTunes just selected G ‘N R’s November Rain… do you think that iTunes knows that it is November?

That’s creepy thought, eh?

4 year anniversary…

scc — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 18:05:10 +0000

The Frenchman and somecanuckchick have been together for 4 years.

The traditional gift for the 4 year anniversary is flowers or fruit… a kind of potpourri, if you will.
