I’m becoming a coffee person!
I’ve never been one for coffee. I’ve never even wanted to drink coffee, but over the summer that’s changed. I started drinking iced coffee every once in a while. And while I still don’t like straight coffee, the bitter taste of coffee in general has become more palatable in frappes and such. Never did I…

Thanksgiving is coming up!
This weekend is Thanksgiving weekend (in Canada)! I’m going to be here in Vancouver by myself for the holiday, but that’s alrighty with me. And when I say “by myself”, I’m talking about with my immediate family. Everyone else is going to be up in Grande Prairie. While I won’t be seeing family, I will…

Is this working?
The main purpose of this blog is to get me writing every day. That has happened and will continue to happen! However, I feel like the actual content about which I write is lacking. My thought about that probably is influenced by my lack of sleep this week. Anyway… today marked the one-year anniversary of…

It’s finally begun.
A new iteration of Star Trek for television was announced back in the fall of 2015. Two years later we are watching the premiere of that series which is titled Star Trek: Discovery. The series is set ten years before the original series of Star Trek during the Klingon war with the Federation, an event…

What’s the deal with PB&J??
Peanut butter and jam. Incredibly delicious together, right? But why? Why do those two flavours meld together so delightfully? You’ve got a slightly salty, ooey gooey paste that coats your mouth next to a chilly, gelatinous substance that is usually fruity or berry-y and they both share a space between two slices of amazing bread.…

I don’t wanna write.
But I’ll do it anyway. Or at least something that resembles writing. I’m very tired and I have a week of medical testing coming up. Yays. I’m actually kinda looking forward to some of it, which is weird. Not the needles, though. I’m not afraid of needles, just not fond of them. The uncomfortable feeling…

Karaoke thoughts.
Social anxiety. I have to deal with it a lot. Especially this week, probably prompted by the depression. On top of that, I still don’t feel very comfortable here in Vancouver outside of my house (yet). I have a few places that I hang out, but still. I’m watching a bunch of people singing karaoke…

Editing the podcast.
Everyone already knows this, but I co-host a podcast with Ryan Matlock called The Aux Cable. We were ticking along releasing a new episode each week until the summer hit bringing with it illness and busy-ness for us both. So the show ended up slipping for a little more than two-ish months while we focused…

Wait…it’s Wednesday already?!
I’m stating the obvious here, but this past weekend was a long weekend, Labour Day weekend to be precise. So Tuesday felt like Monday and today felt like Tuesday. I’m sure that many others are feeling this right now. I’ve been listening to podcasts all day — primarily Anna Faris is Unqualified — and I heard an…

Kinda depressed.
*insert standard warning of rambling late-night thoughts* BlimeyCon is a meetup for the patrons of Blimey Cow and it first started as a pipe dream. We joked about all of us getting together one day to meet IRL since we’d become such good friends over the internet. Then last summer, it actually happened. We organised…

Dogs vs. Cats
(Warning: I did not read this after writing it. I’ll fix any mistakes in the morning.) A quick question. Are you a dog person or a cat person? I, myself, prefer dogs to cats, but that’s mainly because I’m allergic to cats, a fact that frustrates me and, for many years, I’ve had to re-learn…

Please don’t assume.
So tonight, I had a lovely evening with my mother and one of my brothers. We went to watch Wonder Woman at a theatre, which was kind of dangerous for myself. See, I can’t eat food right now. At least, not whole food. I’m on a liquid only diet until further notice. On top of…

I want a doggie!
Back home in Smith, our family has three dogs. We’ve had two of them for years, and I got to train them, play with them, sleep with them, and generally do a bunch of things with them over the years. Before those muppies, we had two other dogs. Basically, I’ve never known a time without…

I don’t wanna go to bed…
It’s time to take the old train down to sleepy town again. The magical time of day that we get to rest and regenerate our bodies. Such nice. Except I’ve been doing a lot of extra sleeping recently, due to being unwell. I find it very frustrating! Here’s why. I just started feeling decently okay!…

I miss solid food!
You might have already noticed this on my past several posts, but I’m not doing too well these days. Because of that, I’ve put myself on a liquid diet. And in turn, the lack of solid foods as well as being sick, I’m left with very little energy. Anyway, the main point tonight is that…

I ate popcorn… Oopsie!
I shouldn’t be eating popcorn. I actually should avoid eating corn altogether, but popped corn especially. This is because of my Crohn’s- my body can’t deal with it anymore, which is horrible since POPCORN IS MY MOST FAVOURITE FOOD OF ALL TIME!! Before Crohn’s was an issue, is inhale popcorn at least once a week,…

Game of Theories
Yay for episode two of the latest season of Game of Thrones!! 😄 I was reading a bunch of theories for what’s happening next, and I happened upon one that totally blew my mind! It was about Arya. Basically, the theory questions what happened to her while she was training in Braavos and how it…

My old number.
I know, it seems like a trivial thing… but I switched my phone service to a BC provider and I’m kinda sad now. It was mostly because it’s cheaper (waaaaay less expensive), but also because if I’m gonna be here for at least the next year, it’d probably be good to have a local number to…

Let’s go with apathetic.
The other day I was trying to put words to my feelings. What I came up with was very, very close to capturing what was, and still is, in my head. But today, another word popped into my head. Apathetic. That also captures my mood/feelings nicely. I’m kind of lacking that spark, you know? Like,…

My mantra.
Okay, just after I typed out ‘mantra’ I thought of the word ‘katra’, which is the living spirit of a Vulcan from Star Trek. Just a little side note there. Mantras can be helpful things. I’m talking about those sayings that you repeat to yourself that help you focus on something. Repeating a mantra every…
