I got a library card today. Best. Day. Ever. This solves a lot of my recent problems. Can't afford a book? Can't bring it on the plane? Don't know if I'll like it? It's okay! I've got a library card! Libraries have upped their game since the last time I borrowed books. You can borrow … Continue reading Libraries Rock!
Blast: Friday Sep 20, 2013
I'm starting a new thing called Blasts (past+blogs=blasts It was either that or "pogs"). I'll find something I wrote before this blog existed and post it here. Just thinking about it, I think a lot of these will pass as blog posts, just older. So I was going through some old emails and found this … Continue reading Blast: Friday Sep 20, 2013
Deadpool
Mild spoilers. Nothing serious. I have been looking forward to this film for a long time (though not as long as Ryan Reynolds has). I love Deadpool. He was my introduction to comic books and he's just awesome. His humour, creativity, mercenary skills, R-rating, general quirkiness, and deep seated self-hatred all come together to create the … Continue reading Deadpool
Visiting My Grandparents
Note: I wrote this on December 22nd, 2015 after a visit while I was home for the holidays. Being the holidays, I was busy and got distracted before I could put it up. I forgot about it until now, but here it is at last. It's just a short piece. Hope you like it. My grandfather should … Continue reading Visiting My Grandparents
I Met Claire Fuller (Again)
I NEED TO STOP BUYING BOOKS! My suitcase is going to be so heavy by the end of the semester that the airplane won't even be able to lift off the runway. But this time I swear I have a good reason! (I know I always say that, but I always do, ok?) This evening … Continue reading I Met Claire Fuller (Again)
Pumped!
I wouldn't say I'm homesick, but rather the complete opposite. I am sick of home. Which is weird because it's not like I've spent an excessive amount of time at home in the past three years. It doesn't seem to matter, though. The thought of having to return home come September makes me want to run … Continue reading Pumped!
Outfit of the Week: Warming Winter
We're in that strange transition period between winter and spring and staying warm—but not too warm—and fashionable is a hard balance to find. Not to worry, I've found an outfit that strikes a balance between the two seasons perfectly. First thing's first. Bright colours are a spring season must, and as a result, I've got … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: Warming Winter
Asian New Year
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, but I celebrated with friends today instead. We got dressed up, had a ton of food, and then sat around talking until midnight. We got to talking about what we'll be doing this summer and where we'll all be going. We're going to be in different countries, although I'm the … Continue reading Asian New Year
Time and the Lack of it
As much as I like to moan and groan about how busy I am, I prefer a packed schedule to an empty one. I've had an empty schedule before. Well, it's not really empty, is it? It's just less productive, less active, lonelier. It's still full, but it's full of useless things. Two hours in the … Continue reading Time and the Lack of it
Through Cracks
It's possible I have over-extended myself. Between my job, running Writers' Society, working as a student representative, seeing friends, and running this blog, my university assignments have been falling through the cracks a bit. Why can't the days be longer? I don't have enough time for everything I want to do and unfortunately this means … Continue reading Through Cracks
