Hello, Freezing Cold Sunshine...

On Friday, I had SO MANY ideas and thought for blog entries.

This morning, most of them have slipped my mind, and the 2 remaining feel like they would take far more energy than I have to write them.

It's amazing what three days can do.

Among other things...

On Friday, I wrote my second-to-last writing assignment. I'm feeling pretty sad about finishing this class. I need another writing challenge/opportunity.
I made a new friend on Saturday, and she is great. I was nervous about an hour-and-a-half drive with someone I didn't know.
On Sunday, I drank a mimosa while listening to an unreal story about a friend's very exciting & secretive creative project.

I am falling behind on my music listening, because I still have not repaired my iPod headphone jack.
I need to change my phone plan. Hopefully, I can do it in person this afternoon. I refuse to do it by phone; I'd honestly rather just change providers in person. Doing business by phone is so much more frustrating than walking into a store and having a conversation face-to-face with another human being.
There are unread books accumulating on my bedside table. Every day or two, I pick one up, read a few pages and return it. None of them are grabbing me right now. I don't know why.

The ROM, The Earth & Procreation

Disclaimer: This post is intended to generate discussion and a sharing of many opinions. It is NOT intended to judge or condemn anyone's life choices. I had an unexpected moment at the ROM last month. C and I were listening to a presentation for kids on wildlife conservation (or rather, I was listening, and C was eagerly anticipating what live animal would come out next), when a statement caught my attention and still hasn't let go. For most of history, the earth could provide enough resources for the earth's human population. But today, our population is growing rapidly, increasing by 250 000 people every day... Forty years from now, it will require 2 Earths to provide sustainably for our survival as a human species. But we only have 1 Earth. 250 000 people. Every day. That is roughly twice the size of my hometown. In one day. So I did a little math. (First, I rounded down to 200 000, just in case the figures were inflated or failed to account for some sort o...

Women And Our Ways: Intro

Last summer, I started writing a blog entry that I never finished. There are several like that, actually. This particular one starts out: If you are male, you probably don't want to read this entry. I mean it. If you were grossed out by my entry on placenta lasagna , didn't understand the problematic tea commercial , or were surprised by my thoughts on the curse of Aunt Irma , this one is bigger, badder, and more bold. I'm going for broke. I've been meaning to write this girls-only series ever since. But then I realized that I want to write a series that may frighten or surprise men, but is not meant to exclude them. Then I thought that maybe I don't want to do that, as it will stir up controversy and I will be misunderstood and I will unintentionally offend both men and women and I will write about things that don't often get talked about. But I think I'm willing to risk it. Titles in the series Women and Our Ways may include: The Mo...

Sunday Starters

I'm not sure if I'm going to keep up with a different 'theme' for blogging every day. Sometimes I like it, and sometimes I hate it. But what I do know is that Sundays are no longer Fundays. (well, in reality, I'm sure they still will be). Instead, I want to do this: I start a sentence, and we all fill it in. However we want. There is only one rule: You have to play the game too. Example: Happiness is... ...a warm puppy ...time with my family ...a myth ...knowing that in the end, he/she's got my back. ...impossible to pin down. This week's starter: When I was six, I thought...
