  • Don’t Look Here. Look Over There!

    I’m taking a page out of The Bloggess‘ book for this posting.  Sure, I’m not writing anything on this blog today, but if you just can’t get enough of Dr. Beth, then check out stuff I wrote elsewhere recently: Article about tanning for teen science website Posting about maternity/paternity leave & postdocs Some stuff about […]

  • The Hot Stays Hot

    My sister was talking about the McDLT ((a burger that McDonald’s made back in the 80s, in case you have no idea what I’m talking about)) on her Facebook wall and I immediately pictured the commercial, with people dressed in very brightly coloured 80s clothes and with big 80s hair dancing around singing “The hot […]

  • (no title)

    One day on this blog and I already have blogger’s block.  It’s not a very auspicious start. Hopefully I’ll be inspired to write something fantastic tomorrow.

  • Where Do You Keep Your Spare Car Key?

    So I was in Langley for a meeting today and since I was there a bit early, I decided to walk down the street to the 7/11 for a diet Pepsi. As I’m walking down the street, there’s a guy trying to get into a pawn shop, but it appears to be closed. As he […]

  • Hello book, 2001 called, they want their floppy disk back

    I was at Office Depot the other day and came across this (below… I’m writing this on my phone and the WordPress app doesn’t seem to let you put photos in the middle of a posting – just puts it at the bottom). It’s in one of those fill-in-the-blank legal contract kits ((incidentally, it was […]

  • The Worst Book I Never Read

    I was at the library the other day and I grabbed a bunch of books that I thought looked interesting. This was one of them: I generally like giving books a chance and even if a book isn’t very good, I have this irrational need need to finish it. But not this time. I actually […]
