What is Nuage?

My previous version of erratik.ca was basically a big fat cloud of information. And to a degree, this still is, but with a lot more to it. Almost everything on this site is created through third-party services and fetched from herein.

The Redux

I don't blog enough. I just don't. I used to, when I had a website that worked and it was fun to post stuff and have comments and whatnot. But yeah, that hasn't been the case in years. Not until now!

Stormy weather
October 29, 2012

This wind that's been blowing has been a little cray. Just started my week and I have a million things to do. I finally got my stuff from Calgary, started really moving into my mom's house, sifting through the million things I really didn't need to bring back here. Like, really, Tay?! Did you need to pack up your dry goods?? Redonculous. Aside from that, work, shows, parties and more work.

no rest for the wicked
October 25, 2012

I have so much to do these days, I barely have time to think about how busy I am. It's good! but it's also starting to affect my immune system. the nose is starting to run, the throat is starting to itch, the dry cough is setting in, my friends. Probably all due to how much I am over-working myself. 

good times, good times
October 11, 2012

Karma seems to finally be paying off. With all the shitty things that have happened in the past year in my life, my karma is finally turning around, you guys! I love my new job, my hair totally fell out from the sickness I've had the last couple weeks but it finally feeling like it's ready to pick up where it left off. I am still flat broke but that is about to change with payday looming on on the horizon. I bought some new boots and a new pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes, went to a couple live shows, and have tickets to more! 

the return: part deux
October 06, 2012

Since the debacle which has been the last week or so of my life, the dust seems to be settling and leaving room for some good times, friends, drinks and eats. I started my new job yesterday and had the most stellar day and night I've had in a long time. Obviously, there are still quite a few kinks to work out on the emotional and physical side but I think I'm finally getting to feel back at home in my beautifully colorful hometown. 

after the rain
October 04, 2012

One word to describe my transition back to my hometown of Montreal: tumultuous. It's been exactly one week since I've been here and a fucking lot of shit has happened. A couple stints in the hospital, followed by some severe anxiety and depression to boot, a lost rental security deposit, failure to commence work on the projected day, a quarrel with my sister and a trip to NYC I have to pass on. Oh and a cat that refuses to leave my room, shit on my bed because she's angry about moving, and the 15lbs I worked so hard on putting back on, gone. In one week.

fucking eeps.
September 17, 2012

It's getting really close to departure time from Calgary. I leave next Wednesday, at 6:45pm, with my cat Kaya, two suitcases and my most needed electronics in my carry-on. I started packing my boxes last night, to leave myself enough time to neatly pack and not do the usual throw-everything-in-random-boxes moving technique. I scheduled the pickup for my furniture to be moved across the country for next Tuesday, so I need to be done by Thursday night to account for my last weekend in Calgary, which will no doubt be messy.

life paths
August 28, 2012

I remember when I moved to Calgary, and I was so ecstatic to go start a new life in a new city, with new people and a fabulous new relationship. This is usually how moving to another city goes for most girls in their early twenties. Most of the time, the relationship fizzles. Mine flourished. For a time. But I've come to that point, where I can't put my next foot forward anymore. I had an epiphany last week and handed out one single resume. It came back with an amazing job offer. In Montreal.

not like you imagined
August 23, 2012

"My love is ashes at your feet, I turn to go, in defeat." 
I'm slowly coming to the sad realization that what I thought was an amazing relationship with a few hiccups was actually a huge fucking joke, *queue the fake audience laughter*. The only way I can think about it is to laugh at it. Really. I invested so much of my time and emotions and everything else I didn't have to give.

July 24, 2012

Phew. It's been a while. I've had the worst month of the year *knock on wood*. It's almost over and that's a blessing not only because my bank account will be replenished —for one day, til rent goes through, but also because I am finally getting a real fucking vacation! Montreal, one week, my family, 50+ shows, possibly some fetish parties and hopefully a bit of shopping! Soooo, recap-time...

whatever that was
July 02, 2012

Fuck. Where to start. Well, it was a pretty uneventful week until I decided I should like, maybe give a date a try. So my girlfriend and I were walking around uptown Friday after work and she's like, "Well, why don't we meet him up for a drink and go from there? Non-threatening because you're with a girlfriend." I have been living here 7 years and have never entered the home of Calgary's Perv Row, Melrose Bar. This title should probably be inside out and up and down, because I'm already dry-heaving thinking about how that went.

tatted up!
June 25, 2012

I've wanted a tattoo since I was about 13. But I was smart enough to know I should wait until I was old enough not to make a decision I would regret. Apparently, old enough for me is 28 years old. So I got my first tattoo, yay! And it hurt, you know.. but not like, I was gonna cry. And I found if I concentrated on the right associative emotion —pleasure, I was fine and dandy with receiving the pain. It's a fairly simple tattoo, but now I know what I can take and I know I'll want another one. But I've promised myself not to add more tattoos for another year.

At a quick glance, you can see how much I use my various social services. The percentages represent how much I have used each type of service over the last 7 days from the time you are loading this page. I haven't added my blog to the "life" box yet, so bear with me because these precentages aren't excatly accurate yet without them. All my feeds can be seen here.
