| Consignment Stores? |

Can anyone recommend some consignment stores in Vancouver where I could try and sell a few things? I've come to the conclusion that it's time to retire those really nice things that I never ever wear. I'm not against Ebay as well, if anyone wants to give me some advice on that having never sold stuff there.

I don't know if any of you people are soup-makers, but I made up a pretty tasty one on the weekend and figured I'd share it, just in case. It's super easy and (if you care) low fat. Bonus.
Saute one onion until clear, add chopped garlic (however much you want, I used 3 cloves)
Add:
Approx. 6-8 pcs of chopped celery
One chopped red pepper, or half in my case as the other half was about to go off
One chopped head of broccoli
Fry all that up together for a minute, then add:
Sundried tomatoes to taste, I used about a palm full
2-5 chopped smallish potatoes, I used the red variety
Add enough water to cover the vegetables, maybe a half inch above that is safe. Anything more and you run the risk of it being runny and broth-like, not like the hearty soup it ought to be.
Simmer for about half an hour, or until potatoes are tender. Add bouillon cubes or powder, salt, pepper, bay leaves, rosemary, whatever else you like, fresh basil is a great choice and chili flakes to taste.
Let simmer a while longer, say about 20 minutes to half an hour, then blend with a hand wand or whatever tool you happen to use. Taste it, see if it's any good, add whatever you think it needs, then reply to my post and thank me for the delicious idea.
Total time to create: Approximately one hour.

Man oh man, I forgot how awesome the X-Files are! Now I remember why I habitually watched it for so long... until they started shooting in California and it all started to suck donkey balls. But those first few seasons? Gold.

I can't fucking sleep. This is happening far too often.
Help me out, please.
What do YOU do to fall asleep, and how do you keep yourself there?

Part of me wants so badly to go out tonight and hear some new music, but my stomach is arguing with me today and I start my new job tomorrow morning... so I don't think I'm going to make it. I know, I'm a wimp.

I am so glad I worked tonight. It was about three times what I expected to make, which makes my trip to Alberta significantly more feasible! Yay!

Children of Men was really, really good. I definitely was not disappointed. The Rio Theatre at Commercial and Broadway has matiness and Tuesdays for only 5 bux. Check 'em out, they're independent.
Also, check this out. It'll make ya giggle!

What do you do if you're making dietary changes in the direction of more healthy eating but you just DO NOT like brown rice??
Suggestions appreciated!

Today I overheard my coworker say "everything goes in and out the rear, then?" and I totally lost my shit. Apparently she was setting up a new account and they specified that all of their pick-ups and deliveries were to be done in the back. Needless to say, the guy on the other end was laughing pretty damn hard.
It only compares to this one other time when from across the room I heard "you want me to hold your WHAT?!" That was also a good day.
