Hi Ho Hi Ho
It’s off to work I go. Just getting ready to go into solitary confinement. Nervous. Excited. I really can’t wait to see what happens.
Here’s a list of words or phrases people Google and end up at my site: Midget Camel Toe, Scat Fan Club, Rape Fan Club, Whistle With A Fan In It. Amongst others.
So, the travel thingy I’ve been writing for is up. I’ll be providing most of the Vancouver content. It’s a really fun job and I get to work with one of my favourite editors again (formerly of Vice.) Yah! Seriously. She knows exactly how to push me. It’s really really satisfying. My voice is quite different for this gig…a bit more mature and a lot less cynical, but I love the challenge and I’m really grateful for this gig.
What else? Oh, I did the Proof for Vancouver is Awesome. Take a creep inside my world…
Oh yeah, I took part in this study at UBC. It was about yoga and well being. There was a part where they put me in a so-called stressful situation and tested my stress levels. I can’t talk about what the stressful situation was, because I don’t want to sway the study, but it was doing a task that I’m generally not good at, in a short amount of time. I remember thinking, oh fuck, all I can do is my best but I’m not going to get too worked up about it. And in turn, I failed miserably at the task. The lady conducting the study said my stress levels were completely unchanged throughout the whole two hour study, which is apparently unheard of. So I started to think maybe my new life outlook should be: oh fuck, all I can do is my best but I’m not going to get too worked up about it. In this case I was doing my best at a task I cared very little about…but what if I applied that to the rest of my life? I guess we’ll see what happens. Hopefully good stuff.
Oh, I got a new computer. It’s fancy. Here’s a generic photo booth photo I took with the comic setting: 
I feel like this will help me get a fresh start with my writing. Here’s hoping.
