Now that I have copious amounts of time on my hands, I’m doing what I did the last time I suddenly had copious amounts of time on my hands – reading all the books ever! Since finishing school, I’ve read one complete book (The Bridge to Teribithia – which I read for the book club […]
…It’s D-A-E-N-E-R-Y-S. As in Daenerys Targaryen from the Game of Thrones. So remember that time I bought a new Macbook Pro and didn’t know what to name her? After some thought, I’ve decided that naming her after Daenerys is appropriate because my Macbook, being the 13 inch size, is little, but she’s powerful, just like the Mother […]
Written earlier today, on a plane where they don’t have the Internets. On a plane, heading to see the fam in Toronto for the Christmas holidays. I’m strangely antsy – we’ve only been flying for an hour so far, but I’ve alternated between deciding I should nap, then that I should read and then flipping […]
It’s been a long and tiring week and since I didn’t get to sleep in at all last weekend (due to a hair appointment on Sat morning and my running group on Sunday morning), I’ve been looking forward to tomorrow’s sleep-in all week. Went out for dinner with some friends from grad school tonight and […]
Tonight I go to the last class of my MBA program. Despite the fact that I’ve been talking about it non-stop for the last month, it’s still a bit surreal. As I reflect back on the 2 years of classes I’ve been to, I can honestly say that despite all the blood, sweat, tears, and […]
Spent this evening reading and writing about the pharmaceutical industry – the topic of a paper and presentation that I have due on Monday. Just realized I hadn’t blogged anything yet today and since I’m too tired to actually think of anything new, I’m going to share with you some data about pharmaceutical sales in […]
As detailed in a previous posting, Nov 16 marks the anniversary of the day I received my PhD, according to my transcript. The convocation ceremony for my PhD was Nov 22, 2006 and my current theory ((Translation: I’m too lazy to actually investigate this.)) is that Nov 16 marks the day that Senate voted to […]
So remember when I told you that you should support the Tyee, the award-winning Vancouver-based independent news magazine, to go national? Well I hope you have been procrastinating on actually doing that because have I got an offer for you! If you go to this link to sign up to support the Tyee, then both […]
As you know, I love me some running. And as you also know, I love me some science. So I’m sure it will come as no surprise to you that I’ve joined a running study. Specifically, this study is comparing males and females going through a training program for a 10 km race with respect […]
First of all, watch this video: Canada needs more independent voices from The Tyee on Vimeo. So, I’m sure you can see why this campaign appeals to me. Facts – I’m a big fan of those. In depth, well-researched investigations into news stories instead of sound bites of 140 characters or less – that sounds […]
