:-{#} 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 […]
Yesterday was a double hockey day! First up was a game with the Blazing Blades, which was all well and good until the goalie popped her knee! She made what was by all accounts a spectacular save ((I didn’t see it as I wasn’t on the ice at the time)) and then fell to the […]
Here are the stairs I fell down yesterday: OK, I realize that I only fell down one of these stairs – the very bottom one specifically. But given how beat up I feel today – achy back/shoulder/leg/wrist – I’m revising my story to say that I fell down a flight of stairs. Possibly I was […]
So the correct answer to this week’s question of “How many pairs of shoes does Dr. Beth own?” is…. *drumroll* 31. And 4 pairs of boots ((well, I guess technically I have 5 pairs of boots if you count my ski boots)). Which makes Kalev, with his guess of 30, the winner and proud owner […]
Too tired to write in actual sentences. Finally submitted project I was working on during my full workday-length evenings after working full workdays this week. Waiting for sushi which I’m hoping will give me enough brain energy to teach for three hours tonight. Thank the FSM i made awesome slides last year and know this […]
Someone asked me this the other day and I don’t actually know the answer to this question. I was going to count them, but then I thought, why not make it a contest first? Guess how many pairs of shoes I own! You have until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Thursday (September 23, 2010) ((Only […]
… expect blogging around here to be light this week. For some reason, I thought it was a good idea to take on a contract for the writing of a grant application, along with my real job and teaching. (Will I ever learn? Answer: probably not). Hopefully I have enough funny things in my Flickr […]
So I have an excellent excuse for not blogging yesterday: I was too busy barfing. I hate vomiting. I mean, I know that no one *likes* vomiting, but I really, really, really hate vomiting. I also have a tendency to experience petechia when I barf – the blood vessels in the skin around my eyes […]
When I was little kid, like maybe 9 or 10 ((for some reason I had it in my head that I was 12 when this happened, but then when I was thinking about it today, that didn’t seem right, so I called my parents and asked them and they said I was 9 or 10 […]
Ten years ago, I moved to British Columbia. It just sort of hit me today that I moved here a decade ago. In fact, I think I arrived at my new apartment on September 2, 2000 – so 10 years and 1 day ago. I had just finished up my Master’s degree at the University […]
