If you were needing a new excuse for, well, anything, this is a good one. People are going to assume you wouldn’t make it up, because if you did say an animal attacked you, surely you would’ve picked something bigger, like a grizzly, or a medium-sized dog.
See, we want to think of otters as being [...]

“A couple of times he actually popped his head out of the water and kinda stared right at me”
Summertime in K-town, everybody get down
(The title being from some pop song some local artist produced, which is hilarious and I wish there were a copy online to show you.)
I just thought I’d make a little note here that I’m not sad and lonely like I was a week or two ago. Sometimes big changes coincide with hormonal fluctuations and [...]
Friday Cat Blogging: Tastes like Kelowna
I don’t think I’ve done one of these posts from Kelowna yet. I think I was waiting to see if my cat would survive the move; I swear she didn’t eat the entire week she was homeless (and at Dad’s or a kennel) because when I took her back on the 5th she was all [...]
It has been suggested to me a few times in the last few days that I should give myself a break and cut myself some slack and other weird expressions that mean a similar thing. In any case I’m rather homesick and sad and lonely and for some reason had assumed I wouldn’t be, or [...]
Trippy packaging
My friend Thompson is in the band Splitting Adam, maybe best known for their song in the EA game “Need for Speed – Undercover”. They’re about to release their first full-length album, and here’s a look at its intense CD packaging:
I find this kind of cool, because in my life CDs have become rather archaic; [...]
Obligatory Narcissistic Haircut Entry
New city means new hairstylist. Luckily the place I randomly picked is the unofficial official salon for my new company as the owner is a coworker’s wife. I’m back to being a blonde, it seems. That probably works better with the sunshine.
Inappropriate video embedding
I just realized it’s been well over a week since I saw any of my friends and I’m jonesing for my own personality to come out (unlike the quiet, shy, polite me that New Job is currently seeing). I miss my friends. I like you so much more now that you’re not available.
Here’s a video [...]
Unpacking
I spent all evening opening boxes and putting things away but have yet to find:
the kettle
the booze
If I’d done the packing I would’ve put those together and wrote on the box in big letters “OPEN THIS FIRST”.
Come to think of it, I can’t find my towels either, meaning I am not currently a hoopy frood.

“Pull your dress down, sweetie.”
That’s what you might hear if you were walking around downtown Kelowna for an unknown period of time with the back of your skirt hitched up into your panties. This would be called out by a woman driving a van, who would pull over to tell you this. Not that I know this from today’s [...]
