Well the new year is almost here. I hope everyone rings it in with friends or family (or both!) and feels they had a good year. It was a busy, crazy year. I feel I changed a bit over the last year. There’s a lot to look forward to in 2006.
We did a good bit […]

Well, I had a great blog post formulating in my head as we drove back up the tollway. But I’m having enough trouble as it is typing it out slightly buzzed (ok, very buzzed). I’ve used the backspace key at least 20 times by now. So we’ll see what comes out.
We saw Sarah Silverman: Jesus […]

Well, Christmas 2005 has come and gone. It was a good holiday season. I got some great gifts, and I think I found some nice things to give others that they enjoyed. We went down to Ian’s family for Christmas Eve as usual, though this year his mom scaled things down from the big party […]

And another movie review. I figure I might as well do them all that I’ve seen recently while I’m at it. I haven’t had all that much else to blog about lately. I don’t want to gripe about the Bush administration since they’re probably listening AND I’m gay so that makes me a “credible threat”. […]

Ian and I also saw The Family Stone this weekend, starring Sarah Jessice Parker and Diane Keaton, two lovely leading ladies. It seems at first glance to be the typical holiday film. You know, the one where everyone comes together for a holiday meal be it Thanksgiving or Christmas, and the family rubs each other […]

I just finished watching Brokeback Mountain at the Angelika with Ian, Chris and James, Layton, Jonas, and Douglas. Wow. This, for me at least, was one of those truly heartbreaking films. I don’t want to give too much away, but it is a cryer. Ang Lee handles the subject matter artfully. The huge, silent terrain […]

I’m impressed. Bush can see into the future. He’s apparently stated DeLay is innocent before his case has been tried in a court of law.
That’s just completely unprofessional partisan behaviour for a sitting president to take part in. Not that I had much respect for the idiot in the first place, but this definitely […]

I’ve been trying to work my way through the back log of model train buildings I received for Christmas LAST year. I’m pleased with my results so far. I had an HO scale model train set growing up, and loved it. My dad built this cool, huge table for it (about the size of a […]

Our kitty Jessie demands to be petted sometimes. She’s actually a baby from a feral momma cat that was being put down by a vet years ago, and Ian rescued her for me. She’s my little princess, but she is still generally standoff-ish with new people. She’s very comfortable around Ian and myself and a […]

Ok, well not ALL. That would infer I’ve actually finished my shopping. I got a lot more done today, but still have some left. At least we’re starting to have presents under the tree. I can’t believe how much wrapping paper and ribbon I somehow talked Ian into letting me buy last year. It’s become […]
