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 […]
So I saw my new stylist today. For *four* hours. Thomasina suggested that I should do highlights, rather than solid colour, because then my roots won’t be so freaking obvious and I can get away with not having to do my colour as often. And I am nothing if not cheap, so I said go […]
So the other day I was at the drug store and there was a woman doing free makeovers and she seemed pretty bored because the store was practically empty, so when she offered me a makeup, I figured “why not?” because (a) I’m bored and have nothing better to do and (b) maybe I’ll learn […]
I’ve made no secret of the fact that, despite living and working in one, I hate suburbs. But yesterday I found one thing that I can truly say is better about the ‘burbs. Impossibly inexpensive estheticians. Seriously. I just did a quick Google search that tells me that the price of eyebrow threading in Vancouver […]
Once upon a time, a bright eyed young graduate student, in search of a better way to procrastinate, decided to start a blog. She called it “Thesis Writing is Hell” and her early blog postings were all about her thesis and thus, really never meant for anyone to read. Pretty soon, however, she ventured out […]
One of the things on my 101 things to do list is: 38. participate in the “365 Day Challenge”<.

Today was my one year workiversary! One year ago today I stepped into the role of “evaluation specialist,” excited to meet my new colleagues, learn some new things and take on some new challenges. And I have to say that it’s been a pretty fun year! The people I work with are very nice ((and […]
I expect that you will all play your favourite LPs on your phonographs in my honour today. Failing that, I expect you are dressed head to toe in vinyl.
Ice cream. Looks like I need to go buy another box of those ice cream cones for Round 2. Also, when I was out for my run today, I was running on Kits Beach and saw the monument to George Alexander Burrows that, every time I run buy it, makes me think “He spells his […]
So there’s this other blogger out there ((come to think of it, I don’t even remember how/when I started following her blog)) and I’m pretty sure we are twins who were separated at birth. She’s a scientist and an uber-Canucks fan and blogs about dirty hockey terms ((see here and here for comparison)), and is, […]
