how much are you willing to pay for you?
My computer died the other day. Over the weekend it had had some problems accessing one of my hard drives, and Windows was running very slowly. I attempted surgery on it Monday night, but to no avail. Indeed, I believe I may have mucked it up further by attempting (and failing spectacularly) to re-install Windows.…

Look who is back! I have had a busy few months and will no doubt be writing about it all soon. For now, I am here in Taipei, I arrived a week ago tomorrow and am still trying to get myself into a regular sleeping pattern. It seems to get harder as I get older.…

the smoking ban
Living downtown, I’ve begun to notice something. While, on the rare occasions I do go out, the smoke has cleared in bars and clubs for the most part – people do still smoke in clubs especially; who’s to stop them when there’s a massive crowd protecting them from the view of whomever is meant to…

beauty supply outlet commercial now out…
So, remember that commercial I was in? Well, it’s now on the air. Also here for your amusement (until I get told to remove it). (BLARGH! Okay for some reason YouTube hates me and the code they provided won’t post properly in WordPress. So just click the links to go see the videos: variation 1,…

the holidays, in summary
As you may have guessed from my lack of posting, I went abroad for the holidays. My destination was the UK to be re-uinted with immediate and not-so-immediate family that I see on rare occasions. The two weeks I spent with them was lovely. I caught up with cousins I haven’t seen in a decade…

niagara on the lake wine tour
I recently went on a wine tour, courtesy of my place of work. Niagara on the Lake was our destination, and we stayed at the Pillar & Post, an absolutely gorgeous hotel. We enjoyed a day of wines produced by three separate wineries, of the total of sixty that exist, in the region. They ranged…

champion of the animals
Ever since I started working at my day job, people calling me have been attempting to reach the Toronto Humane Society (THS for the rest of the entry). I don’t normally get phone calls at work; my job is mostly email-based. So when I arrive in the morning and my phone blinks to inform me…

not a wakeup call you want every day
This morning I dreamt that a man, deep in the midst of feeling sorry for himself, attempted to commit suicide on the driveway of my house. He shot himself through the mouth into the back of his head and it was incredibly messy (think Fight Club). He didn’t die, however, and wandered about moaning pitifully…

i was in a commercial!
I got my first real, paid modeling job! Today I was shot in a commercial for The Beauty Supply Outlet. It’s going to be on tv “soon” (no idea when). Pretty exciting, I have to say. My makeup was done exceptionally well by a Ms. Jenna Treat. She was very patient and sweet with me…

The End – penultimate w/e
All good things come to an end, and next w/e we leave Bangkok. Tonight is our final farewell party (we had one before, for my work – this one is for all the rest of Bangkok (Tricia’s friends)). We have had a great time here, but are looking forward to the year end festivities in…
Got any book recommendations?
