I’m all dressed up in my Christmas finest ((which I would totally post a photo of if I could only figure out how to add a photo to my blog posting through the WordPress app on my iPhone)), have stowed my car safely at Linda’s place ((where I’m staying tonight, as I figured that after […]
This afternoon as I was dutifully sitting at home marking papers, I received the email that one waits all year for – my invitation to the 12 Bars of Christmas! Clearly, this was a reward for me being so responsible and staying home and marking papers all weekend, right? Of course, excitement about the impending […]
At the request of Sir Kalev, my Overseer of Deb0rking and Tsar of the Nerdery, I am posting this request for research participants for research being conducted by a friend of his. If you are responsible for hiring at an IT company in Toronto, consider taking part! Ha – who am I kidding? Like anyone that […]
Tonight on the Knowledge Network: 12 Takes, a half dozen BC filmmakers’ takes on a dozen BC artists, from Jenn Strom’s whimsical, animated exploration of the works of Nick Bantock, to Kevin Eastwood’s lively overview of the pop art of Douglas Coupland, to John Bolton’s visually uncompromising study of the design and architecture of Omer […]
When it is nowhere near the person’s actually birthday! So I went to my friend Erika’s 29.758904th birthday party today. Why a 29.758904th birthday party, you ask?

Congratulations to Sarah, the Resident Historian and Chief Political Correspondent here on Not To Be Trusted With Knives, and her husband, Dave, and new big brother, Teddy, as their family increased by 33% on August 24 with the introduction of little Veronica Floriana to the world! As with her brother, you can see from this comparison of […]
Apparently me trying to have a life and make myself even more important at work ((because we already know I’m tres important but one can never be too rich, thin, or indispensable at work)) are not conducive to having any time to write blog postings! I’m trying frantically to finish a draft of a big […]
I *would* have written a real blog posting today, but Kalev came over for dinner and we had too much fun chatting and cooking and now I’m too sleepy to write anything of any substance. I was going to post a picture of the dinner, which consisted of Greek salad and Pad Thai ((I know, […]
My mom called me tonight to tell me that a childhood friend of mine died. She saw the obituary in the local paper. I don’t even know what to say. I hadn’t seen Mary since high school until a few months ago, when I stayed over at her place on a trip to Vancouver Island, […]
