bored in the barrel

Not a fan, not really. But, I can handle it in small amounts, using it as a way to help wake up.
Well… it doesn’t really work that way, but I tell myself that. Really it just makes me even more tired, but my heart rate usually gets into the 150’s, so maybe a [...]

The funny thing about keeping track of your eating is something I think only people who do it (or have done it) know about. By having to write it down, own up to what you shove into your pie hole, you automatically eat better. I mean, who wants to look at a food [...]

They are utter retards. And what’s worse, the management company that we get to deal with is even worse. Considering that the old management company apparently embezzled all the money sent in as dues and shit, I’m not terribly confident about my retarded board’s ability to pick a management company.
And this is really [...]

So, I started on my second piece (of the two I’ll set together) the other night. I’m about to continue on with it, it may be finished this evening. Most of my art posts will probably now be over on my other blog, I think. I don’t plan on double posting, and [...]

I give you exhibit A:

See? It’s just not something the world should have to be exposed to.
(You may be asking yourself why I bothered then. Frankly, because I know Otto will find it amusing.)
I also wonder who the hell got to my site by searching “fuck that bitch aoife.”
Because that’s the [...]

I used to perceive balance as a kind of perfected state of being, that something had achieved balance. A scale, for instance, with five grams on a side, is balanced. It had seemed to me, at the time, that this is what balance meant. To have achieved balance. A person balanced [...]

NutriPlates
Sure, when it comes to the caloric expenditure for a given activity it is a typical general estimate that prolly isn’t all that accurate for a lot of people (I remember reading that the “jogging ~500kcal/hr is for a 135# female somewhere at some point), but still. This is just a freekin cool thing. [...]

We have about 4 different grocery chains in the area. One I don’t shop in EVER. Well, there was once, but the place smells and all groceries are suspect in my book. Only prepackaged, dry, non-perishable goods would ever be considered, and non-food items like butt paper. This would be Food [...]

While still getting crap taken care of:
It’s a delicate balance. To be completely lazy, but still be accomplishing things. It requires a laptop of some sort… and a small dose of ennui. It’s basically glorified list making. But it’s being proactive, so it’s “accomplishing something.”
OK… Basically, it’s a steaming pile of [...]

mmm… two great tastes that sound dirty together.
Ah… Closer.
The first song I ever heard with a “naughty” word in it. We lived in Rochester, so up by the lake you could get in Toronto stations… and apparently Canada was less uptight about the corruptibility of the F-Word on society’s youth. [...]

My stuff shipped yesterday. I guess there’s now an interesting piece of crap about amazon. If you choose the supersaver shipping, the normal “usually ships within XX hours/days” blurb doesn’t apply. They take longer to even ship out your crap, let alone how long it takes during shipping. Pain in the [...]

I’m skinning my blog. Slowly, and basically doing it live rather than pull it down and do something else. I’m liking it.
So, sure, it looks funny and the monkey is gone. I’ll miss the monkey, but maybe I can find another to put up in its place. Starting with [...]

How often do we hear that? How often do we say it?
Do we recognize it for the poison that it is?
I looked at myself in the mirror today. Nothing special, I look at myself in the mirror a lot. But I did so today, with mind slightly cloudy still from obnoxious nausea [...]

I was reminded this morning about a “failed” piece I was in the middle of. It was for a friend, and unfortunately 1/2 the paper got trashed thanks to a cup of washing water and a cat named Mousie. I wasn’t finished, but was getting there. It’s not so much as the [...]

Apparently, if you google me, the top item is actually me… mostly.
There are cute little birds… sparrows/wrens/something outside. I’m entranced.

I need to re-rip that. None of the songs are linked, and a bunch of them need to be. It’s terribly disconcerting to listen to Brain Damage or Us and Them and have it cut off abruptly and switch to something else before “finishing” the song.
I’m going in to see the doc today, [...]

WOW!
Woman Sentenced For Pimpin Teenage Daughter
My favourite part?
“The mother apologized Monday in Wake County Superior Court, adding that she didn’t mean to hurt anyone.”
Except, of course, her daughter’s cherry.
*rolleyes*
Wow.
I really…
You know….
There are just so many things wrong with this… and I just…
wow.
I’m kinda bummed. Like, looks like someone’s vying for my ruling spot [...]

I’m working on a new design kit for Otto for sandvox. So far all I’ve meddled with is colours. I’m about to start adding more crap, but at the moment I’m not entirely sure what. A couple images for sure, nothing about quartz composer at the moment, and blah. I think [...]

Not that I was really using them anyway.
I’m sleepy, not allowed to drive today because of sedation.
I’m getting hungry. Which is good, Otto will be home soon and potatoes sound pretty tasty right about now.
My battery is low.
I’m fully with it and all, but still feel a bit disconnected. Pain hasn’t set in [...]

I’m finally getting around to changing things.
I now have something up at TheAoife.com as well. At the moment, the only working link is to my portfolio, and it’s not the best of portfolios yet, but I’m working on it. There’s something up, which was what was important to me. There will be [...]
