I promised you words & images almost two years ago! TWO. YEARS. They don’t lie about time flying as you get older. (You know how I loved me some mixed metaphors.) Believe it ... http://www.bamboo-star.com/?p=149 Guilty. That’s how I often feel. When there’s no reason to feel guilt, I get annoyed with myself. Ah, regret, guilt’s evil twin. Today some perverted pig flicked my right butt cheek as I walked back to work after a nice lunch with Dave. Spadina Ave. was sunny and full ... http://www.bamboo-star.com/?p=148 I am hanging onto my last shreds of sanity. Part of me wishes that I documented these past few months of ridiculousness; but mostly, I want to hit . Erase, erase, erase all that stress and exhaustion! Despite all the doom and gloom, there were many bright glimmers of joy. ... http://www.bamboo-star.com/?p=147 It’s hard getting back into the saddle. What saddle? Why, the vanity blogging saddle, of course! Dave (and others *cough* mum *cough*) like to tease me about they way I set priorities, but look who is laughing now! Ha! Actually, I’m not sure that I’m laughing all that much. I ... http://www.bamboo-star.com/?p=146 I had a bad day. It’s amazing how unproductive I can be when I’m really unhappy. The skies opened up and wept with me today. Rain, rain, rain. Darkness too. I felt pathetic and well, I wrote a little story in my head (um, and I guess here, now) and ... http://www.bamboo-star.com/?p=145 It’s a bloody good thing that I didn’t sign up for NaBloPoMo because I’d be dead by now. Post or die, they say? Bang bang, he shot me down. Bang bang, I hit the ground. I’d like to say that I’m in full hermit mode, but I’m not quite there yet. ... http://www.bamboo-star.com/?p=144 I’ve been on a huge cooking kick. The desire to cook is always fuelled by stress. I guess the academic stress is really starting to pile on. Third year law students are just as susceptible to senioritis as undergraduates in their final year of study. I’ve always known that the ... http://www.bamboo-star.com/?p=143 Canucks who grew up planted in front of the telly have now got the Smarties song in their heads. I thought that I’d pass it on since the jingle is looping in my head, driving me loopy. Actually, the song isn’t really driving me loopy. I am driving ... http://www.bamboo-star.com/?p=142 Nothing like a good old stroke of the ego to get the bloggy juices flowing. The darling Akio has called and I am answering. Here I am derailing the New York fashion world one blog at a time. Or perhaps this entry will be so boring the Mr. ... http://www.bamboo-star.com/?p=141 Crapola. It is past my bedtime and I’ve got a major qi imbalance (yeet hay for the Cantonese speakers). Class begins in 8.5 hours. Lovely. Just frickin’ grand. But here I am! Blogging! I guess I got pumped when I read about Mrs. Kennedy’s latest idea, NaBloPoMo, National Blog Posting ... http://www.bamboo-star.com/?p=140
