While searching my blog for something the other day, I came across this posting: Goals For 2010. I set goals for 2010? Who knew? Not me apparently, as I totally forgotten about it. Of course, my first thought was: how did I do on achieving those forgotten about goals? 2010 Goal Achieved (y/n) Excuse Get more sleep […]
Now that winter has hit, my apartment has gone back to freezing. Not so bad as it was when I moved in in February and there was *no* heat, but still pretty chilly. The thermostat in my living room is mostly for show – I say “mostly” because it does have one function – if […]
So I got a bunch of instructions of stuff I must and must not do now that I have braces. I must brush with funny looking toothbrushes after I eat. I must floss and oh dear FSM, I used to think flossing sucked before braces, but flossing with braces involves threading the floss through the […]
:-{#} In anticipation of today’s installation of my braces, I took a (very rare) photo of my fugly, fugly teeth. I figured I’d want a “before” photo of how awful they are now to remind myself what they looked like when they are all pretty at the end of this. Notice how the canine tooth […]
So last night I thought it was a good idea to stay late at work to finish something up. “Class doesn’t start ’til 7 p.m., so I can stay at the office ’til 5 p.m. before I head out to UBC and still have plenty of time to grab some dinner on the way,” I […]
How, exactly, is it the end of August? Like, seriously, people, it feels like we *just* started to get warm weather, work hasn’t slowed down one iota, and I haven’t had any summer holidays yet. WTF? And fall is *just* around the corner! I’m teaching my course at UBC again this fall ((my third year […]
I got a pedometer last week. I’ve been thinking that it would be interesting to have one for a while now and then I heard some news stories on studies showing that being inactive for long periods of time (say, sitting at your desk all day) is harmful to your health ((notably causing increased blood […]
So I was out at Golden Ears Provincial Park this past weekend and I noticed a weird purple dot on my arm. “It’s a tick bite!” declared my friend, Clayton. Then he said something derogatory about me being a “city girl” and I promptly forgot about it (I probably got distracted by something shiny). Anyway, […]
The other day I tweeted this: For, you see, it has been a long, long time since I’ve had cable TV. In fact, it’s been almost a decade. For the year and a bit that I lived with Danielle, we had her TV, but no cable, and even with the bunny ears we were only […]
Last week was Emergency Preparedness Week. In a display of how utterly unprepared I am, here are the contents of my partially completed earthquake kit: My kit, so far, contains: an insufficient amount of water all the energy bars I picked up as free samples at the expo at the Vancouver International Marathon a printed […]
