  • I couldn’t leave well enough alone

    My sister warned me. “Don’t go see it! Just don’t!” she told me. I usually try to avoid spoilers before I go to a movie, but I had noticed a few Tweets and G-Talk statuses expressing that pretty much everyone hated this movie.  But I just had to see it for myself. And so tonight […]

  • (no title)

    As if it isn’t bad enough that I can’t eat delicious, delicious Mini-Wheats due to their gelatin-containing (and my gelatin non-eating)  ways, now they are tempting me with a free Indiana Jones “Adventure Spoon”. And I could really use an “Adventure Spoon” to liven up my breakfast, what with the no Mini-Wheats in my bowl.

  • Hello Aloe, My Old Friend

    I may not have brought home the gold from hockey provincials, but I did bring home a lovely sunburn. Which, I suppose, is to be expected when one sits poolside from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in 30+ degree weather and has subpar sunscreen applying skills. You can actually see finger marks where I managed […]

  • Never too busy to tell you how busy I am

    Busy-ness necessitates point form notes, incomplete sentences. Busy writing grant, planning year-end extravaganza for my program, various other tasks Next two days = conference at SFU Presenting at said conference tomorrow – presentation ready?  Hells no. Friday = heading to Kelowna for the long weekend for hockey provincials Purchased hockey bag with wheels yesterday = […]

  • How often do YOU wash your hair?

    So I was at my hair stylist’s a little while ago getting my waaaaay overdue cut & colour (hello roots!) and my stylist was *shocked* when I said that I wash my hair everyday (“You wash your hair EVERY DAY???!!”). She was also appalled that I use cheap drug store shampoo instead of salon stuff […]

  • Summer Shoes

    Today was beautiful and sunny and warm.  Granted, I spent 9+ hours of it in my office, where I only got to see the sunshine through the window and not feel it on my face like I so desperately wanted to, but I did get to wear some summer shoes. Sure, you’ve seen these shoes […]

  • Veggie Marshmallow Update

    These Sweet & Sara veggie marshmallows are the bomb¹. Since it costs a freaking fortune to have them shipped from the US², I decided that it was high time that I once again emailed the local fru-fru organic grocery stores to tell them that they really, really should carry this product. One grocery store has, […]

  • The Tale of the Two Blue Bottles

    This bottle contains eye makeup remover:I keep it on my bathroom counter with my contact lens solution, toothpaste and other items that I use everyday. This bottle contains astringent, which for the uninitiated is, according to dictionary.com, “a cosmetic that cleans the skin and constricts the pores” and “harshly biting; caustic“: I keep it in […]
