I've been getting heck lately for not updating my blog. I apologize, but my life is just not that interesting anymore. I go to school, I go to work; I read and cook and watch tv. The most interesting things that happen to me are bouts of hysteria, depression or obsessive cleaning and I doubt anybody actually cares to hear about that. I certainly don't find it particularily fascinating - more of an annoyance. But in the hopes of not completely alienating my friends and other readers, I will try to update more often about the mundanity of my life. And on that note....

Things that could be construed as interesting happening in my life - a list by Pixie

1. On Saturday night I went to Val and Iain's 'Titanic' dinner. It was entirely last minute (Rob and I got invited on Thursday) so I had to borrow clothes from Shelly in an attempt to look vaguely period. If I can get a copy of the picture that was taken, I'll post it as, I think, I looked pretty good. And Rob was very sauve. The whole evening was wonderful! Check out Dave's blog for a fabulously accurate description of the event.

2. Jess and Katherine (in Ottawa) sent me the lease for our apartement next year, to sign and send back. As of May 1st, we will officially have an apartement. Whee!

3. My New Year's resolution was to keep a list of all the books I read this year. Just as a note, I'm at 53. That's approximately 15 books a month. Go me.

4. Rob bought me the fabulously adorable hedgehog hand puppet from work. I have named him Jean-Pierre. He has finger holes for all four legs, and the head, and he can turn inside out to hide when he's scared. I love him to bits. He makes hedgehog number 3 in the collection - Maurice (real), Claudette (toy), and now Jean-Pierre. Check out this photo album for photos of my hedgehogs.

5. The government sent me money. It wasn't a lot, but it was a suprise which is always a nice thing...

6. As of next weekend, our house will have acquired two more occupants: Rob and his rather large kitten, Pest. That's right, I'm going to be living with my boyfriend - any of who wish to flip out do so now, and quietly please. I feel like I'm becoming a grownup and I'm not sure that I'm ready to be an adult yet. Sigh.

7. Though I had to miss Sunday's game, which sucked, so far I'm really enjoying Dave's new Firefly game. I'm playing the River-ish character, for those who know the show, and it's a lot of fun. Loopy and brilliant - Maya is turning out to be a fun character, and rather suiting to me. Plus the rest of the group is a blast to play with. Though we have had to move our show onto Showcase due to "adult language and mature subject mature." Kudos to Dave for turning an awesome show into a very cool role-playing game and then keeping it in that western/space tv style - including theme music, cliffhangers, and commercial breaks. We figure if they do a second season, they just ought to cast us ;)

8. My mouth has almost completely healed up from the wisdom teeth removal. The only problem left is that the holes haven't closed up completely, and occasionally food gets stuck there and is hard to get out. But I'm back to eating whatever kind of food I want without worrying about how solid it is. Woot.

and a 1/2. Marc and I have been getting along really well lately. I know it's not really a big thing but it makes living together so much more fun. Plus our dinner conversations tend to be rather hilarious. We seem to be getting used to co-exisiting and getting things done. It's good.

Well, it's getting later now, and considering my inability the past few days to get up in the morning, I should probably head to bed. G'night cyberspace - hope you're having a good night...
