November 24th is Evolution Day, in honour of the anniversary of the first publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species in 1859. To celebrate – and not just because it happened to be convenient day for me – we are having a little soirée. To make this party authentically evolutionary, the following provisions […]
It’s 8 minutes to midnight as I start to write this! I nearly messed up my NaBloPoMo – I was just brushing my teeth before bed when it hit me that I hadn’t blogged anything. Actually, I first remembered that I forgot to send an email that I promised to send “as soon as I […]
Somewhat spoiler-ish. I’m too lazy to do an actual thorough review or anything, but if you are planning to read the book and don’t want to know anything, I suggest you skip this posting. I just finished reading World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. At the very end of the book […]
My car needs some new tires. I guess it’s to be expected after driving nearly 65,000 km on the original tires – well, except for the one that I had replaced due to it getting all flat after a nasty nail decided to imbed it self in my tire. So yesterday I popped into Kal […]
I officially started my Christmas shopping today! I’m sure you are wondering “What did Beth buy? And who did she buy it for?” Only time will tell… 36 days of time, to be specific.

And thus probably my likelihood of actually dropping her, since I’m more clumsy when paranoid!)). I had a gift card from Best Buy, so I figured that my need […]
Today is my Mom’s 66th birthday. As you know, my Mom is an amazing lady! She’s taught me so many things, always been there to support me through all my crazy adventures, and raised me to be curious, driven, positive, hard working – basically, all the attributes that have helped me to be successful. I […]
Or, you know, a cold. The question remains: Why does my body insist on maintaining this hacking cough, this running nose, these achy sinuses, and, did I mention?, this hacking cough? I don’t generally get sick that often, but when I do, boy, do I ((That sentence totally makes sense. I think. I’d blame the […]
On Skytrain. Writing this on my iPhone. Spent all day with my project group for school working on our presentation. Then to a classmate’s house for some drinks. Just remembered it’s NaBloPoMo. Will not let drinks and exhaustion defeat me on day 3! Tomorrow, I shall write something coherent. I promised a blog posting every […]
