  • Oh Yeah, I’m Running a Half Marathon on Sunday

    You know your life is in a strange place when the 21.1 km race you are planning to run is the least stressful thing you’ve got going on. I’ve managed to have what is probably my worst training ever for a half – I started late, because I was in Europe for almost all of […]

  • Is This A Thing That People Do?

    This is a sign in the elevator in my building: Run the dryer for 20 minutes after the laundry has finished drying to evaporate the water in the vent? Seriously? I’ve never heard of this before and it seems awfully environmentally unfriendly to do that. But then, I’m not much of a person for chores, […]

  • Red Sharpie

    I decided that the little red pen I’d been using to cross out the days left in school on the calendar just wasn’t quite satisfying enough, so I bought a red Sharpie.   So good.

  • Happy Birthday Mom!

    Happy birthday to the best mother around! I hope your day is filled with much joy and many Irish coffees! I love you!

  • Support Independent Media AND maybe win a weekend in Tofino!

  • House Guests

    For the next 11 days, I’m having some house guests. Pepper has decided that she’s the Queen of the Bed: And Taiko has decided that he’s Captain of the Chair: Happily, neither of my house guests appear to have taken any notice of my fraggle of frogs. I’ve secured the tank lid to keep out […]

  • Not That I’m Counting

    But I only have 30 days left of school! And I may have added a countdown clock to the right side of the blog.

  • Celtic Thunder

    Super tired from a long workday followed by evening class (after a weekend full of classes and a Monday class and omg, so many classes.) So today I give you Irish hotties singing a catchy Irish tune: Props to Leslie from my bus tour of Ireland for sharing this with me!

  • Getting By With A Little Help From My Friends

    The other day I came home to a card in the mail. It’s not my birthday and it’s too early for Christmas cards (even for the most eager of Christmas fans), I thought, so what could it be? As it turned out, it was this: A card from my friend Dr. Erika, wishing me well […]
