I had a job interview in North Van this week, so instead of making my way to a Vancouver library afterwards, I ended up at the North Vancouver City Library, which was a nice change. Then it was back t...

This is now my fifth week doing this. Job hunting is getting exhausting and frustrating, but at least there are still libraries to get through. nə́c̓aʔmat ct Strathcona BranchYeah, this branch is inte...

This is now my fourth library blog post and I’m starting to lose track of how many I’ve been to and which is which. Kitsilano BranchI actually had a different library planned for this day, but when I got a job interview in the area (okay, not in the area, but a fifteen-minute transit away versus the hour it would have been from the library I had planned), I ended up here. I actually had errands to run after the interview that put me closer to other branches, but alas, this was the only one open

This week’s job hunting happened at three Vancouver libraries, because I went to the Burnaby Metrotown branch two days because I needed the meeting room. Britannia BranchThis is the first library (oth...

As I’ve finished the BPL branches, I’m moving on to the VPL ones. Today’s post features the two Vancouver libraries I went to last week, both of which I had been to before. Hastings BranchThis was act...

This is not the blog post I was hoping to write this month. When I planned my blog posts for the month, I had July marked down as writing a blog post about work because my contract at the Board was up...

Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! I know it’s almost over, but I’ve been busy with other writing. Anyways… mental health awareness month! Trust me, I’m well aware of my mental health. I’ve done lots of things over the years to try to manage it with various results. I could talk about those for ages but I’m just going to focus on one thing for this post. One thing I’ve found that helps a lot is a self care app called Finch. Finch is an app where you have a bird that you can dress and take on a

Another month, another insane monthly challenge. This one was probably my most ambitious one yet. I’ve been trying to learn Spanish for years, but with my Spanish class restarting in April, I decided ...

Every once in a while I fall down a rabbit hole of obsessing over old pictures of myself. It usually starts innocently enough. I check my daily featured photos on my iPhone for rat pictures to send to...

I’ve been pulling my hair for pretty much as long as I can remember. It used to drive my family crazy so I got better at hiding it, but I never stopped. I don’t know when it became my entire life but ...

We’re living in a weird world and the balance of trying to change it while also taking care of yourself is exhausting.

We had a lot of fun at Emerald City Comic Con last year, but going to the states and staying in a hotel during a con, and having to eat every meal out is so expensive. Plus there’s the whole thing wit...

We all have these days, right?

The Oscars are on Sunday, and yet again I did my challenge of watching everything that has been nominated. This year that meant watching 50 films (15 shorts and 35 full length movies). This was one of...

When I was a teenager and in my early twenties I was obsessed with Lady Gaga and her music. I just thought she was so cool and different and her music was just so fun. Finding out she was queer was re...

Lover of books, all things nerdy, and rats. I write how I feel.

For the past few years I’ve been doing Gretchen Rubin’s goal challenge. For example 23 goals for 2023, 24 goals for 2024. But I found after I made the list I was kind of forgetting it existed and not ...

It’s been a year, that’s for sure. There’s been good, there’s been bad. There’s been a whole lot of obsessing over Taylor Swift. Every year I write a blog post about what goals I achieved and usually ...
