Last Random Act of Kindness for 2009

December 31, 2009 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

Well, I was just out at the store foraging for the last of the booze food supplies and things, when I encountered the kind of shopper I just fucking hate. Usually it is a self-entitled woman, wandering around with her shopping cart parked in the very centre of the aisles, with her massive fur [...]

The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Posting on a Friday

December 4, 2009 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

Okay, it’s not much of a guide… it’s just another list, thanks to the hot cyber-crush I’m stalking my pal Adam Avitable, I’m using this survey-test he invented last weekend – it’s okay – he said we all could. I like to do what Adam tells me to do. It is for safety [...]

Thirty-eight.

December 2, 2009 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

So, I turned thirty-eight last Tuesday. Birthdays always mark a natural New Year kind of thing in me, as it should in everyone. I love my birthday. I love celebrating it. In the days leading up to it, and afterward, I feel very… reflective. I think of where I’m going, [...]

In the Mood For a Par-tay

November 21, 2009 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

My birthday is on Tuesday. I will turn Thirty-eight. I feel pretty good about that.
Tonight we are headed to my neighbour-friend’s cafe, The Claremont, to have eats, drinks and debauchery. I feel quite in the mood for this. I want to see the faces of my peeps… peeps from far and [...]

11:11

November 11, 2009 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

On Remembrance Day I usually think of soldiers everywhere – of the ones who have fallen to keep our country secure, and of the ones who are currently serving, and of the iron bravery it must take to do such a job. I’m pretty sure I don’t have that kind of bravery. I [...]

Freak-love of the Orb

November 4, 2009 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

I’ve been doing some thinking about why I love carving pumpkins so much…
When I was small kid, one of my best friends had a birthday right around Halloween, so her birthday parties were always Halloween-themed, with pumpkin carving as part of the party/sleepover plans. This particular friend was excellent at everything. She was [...]

It’s a New Age in Communication and I Can Dig It

October 28, 2009 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

I must say how much I enjoy Facebook. I’m not all about being a friend “collector” – I don’t care how many people are my “friends.” I just love the daily communication I have with people from all over the world. Some are very far away. Some I haven’t seen in [...]

Pizza Love

October 20, 2009 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

In reference to my piece that was posted on Aiming Low recently, my sister commented on Facebook… something about all the pizza-ordering we did once, and that’s been jogging a memory in my brain for days now.
We are the worst.
One summer, I think when we were in our teens, we were ordering pizzas [...]

Julie & Julia

October 16, 2009 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

Last night I accepted an invitation to see the film Julie & Julia with one of my neighbour-foxes – we’d been talking about seeing it for a while, and although I’ve had a lingering cold, and had already turned down a birthday dinner invitation for a dear friend (I just couldn’t muster the “party” spirit) [...]
