I’m Moving
If you know me particularly well, you may already be aware that I’m moving at the end of the month.
I’m not moving far, though, just down the hall. I’m downsizing from a 2-bedroom apartment to a 1-bedroom. I don’t need this much space, and I’m unwilling to pay the increased rent. Luckily, a 1-bedroom apartment [...]
Bad Luck Weekend
I’ve had a bit of bad luck this weekend.
On Friday, I managed to lose my debit card. On it’s own, this isn’t a big deal. I’m not too worried about identity theft or anything. Without having my PIN, I don’t think there is much that someone can do with my debit card.
If it were a [...]
Christmas Spirit
I’m finished my Christmas shopping. I just finished this evening.
I had actually finished everyone last weekend, except for my mom. But, it’s a bit hard to buy a present for the person who you’re at the mall with.
Tonight, I went out and bought her gift, as well as a couple of other things. I’m feeling [...]
Home and Auto
I am not impressed with certain elements of my life right now.
My car is ill. She may not live through the winter. I’ll be taking her to the car doctor soon, but I have a feeling that I’ll have to buy a new(er) car before the winter is over. This would not be such a [...]
The Joy of Hot Dogs
The other day, I had a craving for hot dogs. But, not just any hot dogs. I wanted chili-cheese dogs. I hit the grocery store on the way home from work and picked up a can of chili. I’m not usually a fan of canned chili—I prefer to make my own—but for making chili dogs, [...]
Learning to Make Espresso
I bought an espresso maker last weekend and, while I’m loving my little Moka Pot, it’s proving to be a bit of a learning experience. While I have made a few pots of damn good espresso, I’m still trying to find the perfect method.
Some things I’m still experimenting with include:
The ideal temperature that will brew [...]
Ultra Minimal
Sometimes, I think about selling everything I own, and starting from scratch.
It would be nice, wouldn’t it, to have a clean slate? Of course, it’s incredibly unlikely that I’ll ever sell everything I own, but minimalism still appeals to me a great deal.
When I think about the minimum I could live with, and still be [...]

Bullet Points
Just a few thoughts that don’t justify a full entry of their own. I should probably be Twittering them, but I want to blog them, so deal with it.
I went to get my driver’s license renewed today, and I felt like a little kid who couldn’t colour within the lines. When I had to sign [...]
