Tanya over at netchick.ca is running a half marathon in DisneyWorld with Buzz Bishop’s 95 Crave Team Diabetes on Jan 10, 2009 (that’s one day before my birthday!) to raise money for the Canadian Diabetes Association. And you should sponsor her! Why, you ask? Well, if supporting a worthy cause1 isn’t good enough reason, how […]
On my recent trip to San Fran, I found myself yet again flipping through the SkyMall magazine. While I was slightly disappointed that they didn’t have any new products as good as the branding iron for your dinner or the all cookie diet or the tailgate party slings, it was still rife with ridiculousness. The […]
I had to go pick up a desk from my friend Alicia’s place today. The desk I had been using for the last 2 years actually belonged to my old roommate, Danielle. She’d moved to a furnished place on the island, so I was babysitting the desk, and her dresser, until such time as she […]
Ah, the Naam. One of my fav restaurants in Vancouver, and one of the places that Sarah gets to at least once (and sometimes more) on every trip to Vancouver. This trip has had us eating at not only the Naam and the Eatery, but also Sophie’s Cosmic Cafe (great veggie burgers), Tsunami Sushi (not […]
You know you are jealous. My friend Sarah1 is visiting from Ottawa! She’s going on an Alaskan cruise with her parents2, so she came into town a couple of days early. She got in last night and we headed to the Eatery for some Fat Elvi2and veggie sushi rolls. And since then we’ve been lounging […]
Yesterday, I wore these bacon band-aids to cover up my hideously scraped knee: Props to my sister who gave me a pack of bacon band-aids. She thinks it’s funny to get me things that look like meat, what with me being a vegetarian and all. These band-aids got me a fair bit of attention and […]
Went for my post-op check up this morning and the technician checked my vision. “You have 20/20 vision,” he said, “And it’s only going to get better from here.” It truly is mind-blowing. I keep having to remind myself “I’m not wearing contacts.” My brain is all “this is no big deal, I see this […]
8:45 Getting off bus in two stops. Can’t wait for eye surgery. 8:53 Damnit damnit tripped on NOTHING outside of Cafe Artiango. Only person who asked how I was doing was homeless man. I’m bleeding bad. 8:59 In lobby. They gave me a bandaid. Since these bastards don’t take Amex, I wont get any AirKiles […]
A long, long time ago I found the perfect birthday card for my friend Dan. Dan, who you may remember as the “Gillis” in Snow, Snow & Gillis (2007), the groundbreaking paper entitled “The relationship between childhood attitude towards The Count and mathematical ability later in life: A thirty-year retrospective study.” I didn’t actually know […]
I snapped the above shot in the dressing room of Turnabout Consignment Store on my cell phone camera. Yes, that’s an original tag that tells us that (a) someone paid $395 for this dress (you can’t see it in this photo, but it was from Holt Renfrew) and (b) they never wore it (since the […]
