| By Rook,on January 26th,2012 I didn’t see or talk to a single person this weekend and while a small part of my critical brain expresses concerns over that fact the rest of me is actually pretty comfortable with it. I did at least get out and socialize on Thursday so I’m not a complete recluse. Although I should apologize . . . →Read More:Life Update By Rook,on December 3rd,2011 Customer:“Where is my package!? Why haven’t you delivered it yet!?” Yes,people actually ask this,as if we were personally responsible for the delivery of their order and simply haven’t been walking quite fast enough. We also get customers who,I kid you not,assume “next day delivery”actually means “this afternoon”. I . . . →Read More:Things I wish I could say By Rook,on November 2nd,2011 I was a mental zombie yesterday. The number of things I’ve come to work to discover I’d left undone before leaving yesterday is,quite frankly,embarrassing. Evidence suggests that I’m not sleeping as well as I should. First,after dinner last night I reclined for what I thought would be a ten minute nap. I . . . →Read More:Time is relative,schedules are not By Rook,on August 23rd,2011 Drinks with Leslie on Wednesday was inspirational. The trip to Airdrie was surprisingly short. I’m guessing the expansion of Calgary is rapidly closing the gap. It seemed I wasn’t on the open road for more than a minute before I had to suddenly cut across four lanes to make my exit. Leslie and I haven’t . . . →Read More:Brief and Casual By Rook,on July 16th,2011 Well the measurements of the new place are a little daunting. Hit a sudden realization of just how small the bedroom is. I’ll have a three foot path around one side and the bottom of the bed. That’s it. No room for shelves or anything else and I’ll lose the use of the drawers on . . . →Read More:Now I’m officially worth something By Rook,on July 7th,2011 I blame Dargie. It’s usually a safe bet,blaming him. This time he triggered me into spending an entire evening making a mix tape,or as the kids call it these days “a Playlist”. The theme? Ten songs to represent you. Some of these choices are due to lyrics,all of them are due to . . . →Read More:Top Ten Mix of Me By Rook,on July 2nd,2011 Writing this at the Elephant &Castle (or Ermine &Vestibule,or Jaguar &Nook) in Edmonton because I took a road trip on a whim. I never do this. I never do anything on a whim. Okay,maybe “never”is too absolute a word,but damned rarely. I really wanted to take the bike . . . →Read More:Riding 279k for dinner at the{Animal} &{Building} By Rook,on June 12th,2011 Here’s my first blog post typed on my new little netbook. Talk about tiny. First thing I installed:Google Chrome. The next thing I did? Hide all access to Internet Exploder. That diseased warf rat may be impossible to un-install but at least I can avoid accidentally letting it loose. Next thing to install? JDarkroom, . . . →Read More:Spending money like it’s going out of style By Rook,on June 5th,2011 So,yeah,things are happening. I’ve been looking for a condo for the past few months now. I’ve seen some good places I can’t afford,and some affordable places I’d never want to live. Then I found a place that’s worth living it at a price…well,almost too good to be true. The place . . . →Read More:This is life in the oncoming traffic By Rook,on May 9th,2011 My energy is slowly increasing. It’s now enough that I no longer wonder if I’m imagining it. I’m still not 100% used to using the CPAP machine all night but I’m using it for more hours than not,and I definitely prefer a night where I’ve worn it through the whole night rather than one . . . →Read More:Gradually charging | WebcomicsWordpress |
