so little time to write to you, my dear dear readers.
blogging requires a 'vibe', an introspective demeanour that i am currently spending on my novel and my navel.
school beckons! a week tomorrow.
the end of an era, the beginning of a new.
i drove to hamilton to view it, finding the whole scene quite novel and lovely. change is always invigorating. a year ago i finished my english degree. then 7 months at Desjardins. now this.
my one lone writing gig, the wise guys column for chatelaine, has been murdered. many changes at chatelaine, as the few people i had known there have been recently let go. they have offered to let me pitch them ideas, however, which is lovely and kind and i will take them up on it. i will miss, however, the joys of reading how absolutely fucked up we all are. humanity, you cold cruel comedienne.
i just want to own a dog, get drunk every day, and just bob in the waves of love forever and ever and ever.
i have been listening to this singer/songwriter of late. the singing part starts around 1:25 if you want to jump ahead.

forgive me. i have been busy, and away from my computer.
i just returned from the lady's cottage, a slice of heaven in a mad mad world.
i have school starting in two weeks.
and i'm trying to finish my kids novel. so many ideas, so little time.
i WILL post a real post when i have the focus. hey, it's summer. :)
addendum: Former Camden High School star Dajuan Wagner had a workout with the 76ers recently at their practice facility at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Wagner is trying to work his way back into the NBA after battling knee injuries and colitis over his three-year career with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
i have colitis. it sucks. what sucks worse is having the disease be listed as a reason your once-promising career took a nose dive. although that's what's on the record for my once-promising career as an editor so i suppose i'm in good company. :)
