So, I snapped this pic on my camera phone in Superstore the other day. Because it’s the stupidest product ever and I just had to share that with you. This is a “tea bag squeeze.” As in, a gadget that you use to squeeze out your tea bag. Seriously. Am I the only one who […]
So, Sunday is the day that I’m supposed to write my entry in my BC Premier series1. And I know you are dying to hear about all the high jinks2 that Charles Augustus Semlin, the 11th Premier of BC, got up to during his crazy3 time in office. But I have a very good excuse […]
As a vegetarian, I’m not going to be eating foie gras. Foie gras, in case you don’t know, is the liver of a goose that has been force fed to the point that it has developed fatty liver. Sounds rather disgusting to me (both the idea of eating a fatty liver and the force feeding […]
Yesterday, I received an email telling me about the untimely demise of Torsopants: It is with great sadness that I announce, at the urging of Bilderberg, that I am closing the doors at TorsoPants.com at midnight December 23rd, 2008. I cannot get into complete details, but my higher masters have told me that my mission […]
Three of the last five Diet Dr. Peppers that I have bought have won me another Diet Dr. Pepper: This seems like an abnormally high winning percentage, no? I keep buying them from the vending machine at work – for some reason, whenever I’m in a store where I can actually cash in one of […]

It seems that every time I go to Ontario, I come back with the plague. On the day of the pig party, my sister was totally wiped out by a nasty, nasty cold. Like, so sick that she went to bed immediately after everyone left (about 5:30 p.m.) and slept through ’til the next morning. […]
Finally got around to watching 24 Redemption. My review goes something like this: what the hell? First, there didn’t actually appear to be a plot. Second, how can it be 3 p.m. in both Washington AND a country in Africa1? Third, why did it look so warm in Washington on the day of a presidential […]
Exhibit A: I appear to have forgotten both my blanket (which I brought to keep me warm on the plane) and a jar of honey (from the bees that live on the farm where my dad keeps his birds) at my sister’s place. I realized that I forgot my blanket in the car on the […]
I was about to write a blog posting entitled “Can’t Blog. Marking Papers.” But that title seemed eerily familiar to me, so I Googled through my blog and discovered that I’ve already used that same title1. I’m so original. Anyway. I’m pretty beat after a long day of a nutrition symposium + lunch with friends […]
