#93 - All The Cigarettes That I Have Never Smoked

and all the letters that I have never sent

It's practically the middle of February and up until five minutes ago this this was still Christmas colours. So embarrassing. I probably would have updated sooner but i wanted to leave Beyonce near the top of the page for as long as humanly possible. You know how it is. Very little is new with me, except that I am in Calgary now. I still do not have a real job, but I am working on it. Mostly I just hang out with Jake all day and ponder the meaning of the universe and the state of the economy and why one of my fingernails seems to grow much faster than all the others.

I also went and played squash once, you will probably be suprised to know.

Anyway, I am finding myself very tired and with very little to say, so I am going to go now. Turning one's blog from red and green to white and grey does not require very much energy, but choosing a new visited link colour really took it out of me.

#92 - It's You! It's Me!

and there's dancing!

This little gem comes via one of my father's luntaic friends:



And, since we are already talking about dancing, you should probably watch some Beyonce (at 00:52 she tries to hypnotize the audience with her thighs, and it works):



Also, watch the Frug (the dance):



And listen to The Frug (the song):

A Conversation with her Father

Setting: the TV room. Tim is lying on the couch with a pile of blankets and a pile of Halls wrappers, occasionally coughing a really gross-sounding cough


Clair: What are you watching?

Tim: Top Gun and Just for Laughs. Top Gun is my favourite.

Clair: Of those two?

Tim: Of almost everything. "They're on our tail, they're on our tail! Take a shot, take a shot!"

#87 - Struck Brightly By The Winter

when the snow falls thick and silent

Today I was struck by the holiday spirit. I am now officially excited for the 2008 Christmas season. Here are some reasons why:

1. The snow! It snowed like crazy this afternoon. The day started out all grey and blustery and ended up all white and wintery and lovely.

2. I went to Buy the Book and had hot chocolate. It is obviously not too far into the Christmas season, though, or I would've been offered booze.

3. I finally handed in my art history paper. It is impossible to be filled with holiday cheer when one is preoccupied with thoughts of Emil Nolde and German Expressionism and versus woodcuts etc.

4. I have Christmas-ified* the colour scheme.

5. I spent two hours in Paper Umbrella working on the window display and talking to Theresa about gift wrap and cookie baking and whole chickens and book binding.

6. I know I mentioned the snow but I have to say it again. SNOW!




In non-Christmas related good news: last night there was a crazy and awful and amazing travel-into-the-past episode of One Tree Hill that Chad Michael Murry wrote. Honestly, what could possibly be better than that? Nothing. Nothing could. That is the best.


*My computer's spell checker is trying to tell me that Christmas-ified is not a word. How absurd.**
