Kim

I'm an astigmatic expat writer, editor, blogger and community manager who loves thunderstorms, good books, sushi and wants to learn how to snowboard. Over the last few years I've written six crochet books, edited a magazine and co-hosted a television show. Now I work at LexPublica, I write and I blog. I live in Vancouver, BC, with one human and one mutt. The mutt *hates* thunderstorms.

Why I Love Vancouver: Reason #2

January 30, 2007

Just as the winter seems like it can’t get any darker, any rainier, any cloudier, any gloomier, suddenly it’s late January and the sun comes out and stays out for a few days. It’s light out when I wake up in the morning and dusk doesn’t come so early. The crocuses come up (I...

Spinning: The First

First Bobbin, originally uploaded by kpwerker. I don’t fear committment. I do, however, often loathe the thought of it. That’s all I’ll say since to really write about that will take a lot more thought and concentration than I can give right now. But the context I’ve been thinking about it in has been...

Camera Ready

Camera Ready, originally uploaded by kpwerker. Ooh, I loved the makeup artist on set! She was fun, she worked magic, and she tamed my hair, too. Wicked. I was so jet-lagged I didn’t feel nervous on camera. Granted, I can’t guarantee I was coherent, either. Overall, good times. Camera Ready, originally uploaded by kpwerker....

A Note On Course Catalogs

December 18, 2006

To the VCC Centre for Continuing Studies: In a poetry-related course listing, it might be a good idea not to brutally mix (poorly written) metaphors: “… it often seems like a gigantic maze where every door tends to end in a brick wall.” Doesn’t exactly foster confidence that students will learn lots about how...

On a really, really good day…

December 15, 2006

I highly recommend going to see a concert of your favourite band. I further recommend not realizing the band is your favourite until you’re standing there at the concert with an irrepressible smile on your face as you realize you’ve listened to their music on a nearly daily basis for over a year and...

Cleo’s Meme

Cleo’s meme, originally uploaded by kpwerker. This meme went around a few weeks ago. I think I swiped it from Lolly. I printed it out, but Cleo got her paws on it first (or, um, maybe a certain male human had a hand in this. I really can’t be sure). Cleo’s meme, originally uploaded...
