'Tis all I have to say on the subject...

Today is one of those rare times when I can actually say that I am proud to be Canadian.

Yep, still here...

So it's been a ridiculously long time since I last blogged. I'd almost forsaken it entirely, given my current state of affairs, but my online venting has been particularily lacking lately and needs to be rekindled.

The past month or so has been quite a journey, and I haven't even had enough time to process it, never mind blog about it as well. The short version is that I'm moving cross-country quite shortly, work is even more overwhelming than usual, my personal life needs to be treated for some sort of bi-polar disorder, and I am slowly going crazy.

To keep you all occupied while I elaborate on the above in various rambling, error-laden posts, I was recently ordered to fill out this survey and display it to the three people who may care. Although I'm not sure if (a) there are really three people who do, and (b) who they may be. I know, I never fill out these stupid things...but I give in. *This* time only.

A random jumble of stuff.

Take that, pigeons!
I think most of my not-so-loyal readers have heard about my pigeon woes. For those of you who haven't, the short version is this: for the past few months, I've been housing a pigeon nursery on my balcony, preventing me from opening my windows and having any sort of fresh air in my apartment...which sucks.

So, after several fights with my landlord, they've finally caved and I will soon be pigeon free. I wonder if there are adverse health effects of living in a horribly stuffy apartment for this long.

Cross-country adventures
So it seems like this move will actually be happening, and soon. Details to follow.

My laptop hates me
I think my precious laptop (aka Cookie Monster) has begun the start of his untimely demise. My screen is practically unreadable (apologies for any typos) and there are strange vertical lines running through everything, along with frequent screen flickering and random computer freezing for what seems to be no reason. I am absolteuly desperate for any of you tech types to work your magic, and at least let me know if I'm completely screwed or not. Seriously...I'll bring my poor cookie monster to wherever you may be. I'm so horribly lost without my internet...
