today, our office moved from one side of the building to the other. it's been an icky process. icky. not that i like work, but it's been one more "lets not tell gwen what is going on" thing. whacha going to do. not much. go with the flow and move on. lucky for me, i didn't have much to move, and i'm already set up. other people are still moving stuff. it's crazy the amount of stuff that they have in this office. boxes and boxes of personal stuff. i moved everything in 4 paper boxes. … [Read more...]

hello?!? brain, are you there?
June 8, 2004 by
my beautiful new olympus c-765 arrived in the mail yesterday. i was so excited! i called my neighbour and asked her if she would put it inside for me. i didn't want someone to see it, and take it. i got home, charged the battery, and 2 hours later i was ready to take pictures. hmm. what to take pictures of? i wanted to take pictures of the pretty bougainvillea that is growning up the oak tree across the street. but it was too dark. i tried to take pictures of daisy, but to my dismay, … [Read more...]

come here chinga
June 7, 2004 by
missey andrea and i went to the dog park again on saturday morning. there were not as many dogs there as there have been in the past. there was this cute mutt name bosco, a black cocker named chinga, daisy and olive. it was, dare i say, boring. even for daisy. then more dogs started coming. a beagle named snoopy who insisted on anally marking EVERYWHERE. at one point my absolutely intelligent dog decided to lay down under him while he was marking. lets just say, it was gross. really … [Read more...]
do i really have it “going on”
June 6, 2004 by
i went to the sabercats game alone again yesterday. actually, it wasn't that bad. i went late, but still got the free gift, a cow bell. the noise level in the arena was 210 decibles. it was so loud. during the third period, i went to get a break from the noise. i decided to go get a sundae (one of the benefits of having arena club seats). i'm sitting there, minding my own business watching the game on tv. when this guy starts a conversation with me. lets just say this. guys don't … [Read more...]

concentration
June 3, 2004 by
i'm having a really hard time concentrating today. at my "session" last night, we talked about relaxation techniques, and how they should help with this. i'm wishing i had brought the tape with me. this flitting from my weekend walks in britain book, addiction solitare, bloglines, and cold fusion is starting to get un-nerving. i just wish i could concentrate today. i tell you what, if the cleaning lady wasn't coming today, i would have stayed home. but i get HUGE guilt when i'm at home and … [Read more...]
damn amazon.
June 3, 2004 by
i bought that camera tuesday... amazon just lowered it's price today. damn. if there wasn't a 10% restocking fee, i'd return the one i bought and buy it from them. damn. damn. damn. (it's not as low as the price i paid, but i would have been willing to pay a bit more to buy from them. $15 is fine... $75 is not.) … [Read more...]
daisy, the poop eating dog.
June 2, 2004 by
today i put my next door neighbours trash cans out for her. she is on vacation and her recycle bins were really full. tonight, daisy and i went to bring the cans back in. daisy found some cat poop near the garage door. i pulled her away from it... she dropped what was in her mouth. thank god, i thought, trying not to step on the cat poop that was now in the drive way. i put daisy in the house so i could bring in the other can. i then made a HUGE mistake. i took her off leash. she … [Read more...]
