  • Taming the Monster of the Lake

    Spent the day in Kelowna today. It’s not insanely hot ((As Kelowna usually is in the summer.)) and wasn’t super sunny ((Some clouds and a bit of haze that apparently has come from wildfires in *Russia*! wtf?!)), so it was nice to walk along the beach, check out the sites and whatnot. And, of course, […]

  • I’m on a Boat!

    I’m on a super ferry! Super ferries are like regular ferries, only more super. One of the things that makes them so super is that they have wifi! Squee! Of course, now that I’m on the super ferry with its super wifi, I realize that I don’t have a heck of a lot to blog […]

  • Serious About Coffee

    Whenever I’m on the Island, I always go to Serious Coffee ((Again, no association with this company. I just like them!)). It’s a local chain with some pretty decent coffee – both the drip coffee and the espresso-based drinks. Since I am on a workcation  ((Working on both homework and on my top secret project!)) […]

  • Today Mount Baldy, Tomorrow The World

    We climbed Mount Baldy  ((Omg, Mount Baldy does not have a Wikipedia page! For shame! Well, several Mount Baldys do, but not this particular Mount Baldy.)) in Shawnigan Lake. It was pretty steep and there was a fair bit of sheer rock that I found myself having to climb up like I was Spider-Man and I […]

  • More About My Vacation. Plus 101 Footnotes!

    So, we are back from our whirlwind trip to Portland ((Well, technically to Onalaska, WA, Portland, and various other places in Oregon state.)) and are now hanging out on Vancouver Island ((After a very poorly planned attempt to take the ferry from Ancortes to Vancouver Island.)), ((Instead, we had to drive through the Peace Arch […]

  • Planning is apparently not for suckers

    I’m blogging this from my phone, because we’ve spent all day traveling and are just now on the ferry to Vancouver Island, having driven back from Portland all day. Word to the wise though: If you ever get the bright idea to take, say, the Anacortes Ferry to Vancouver Island on the way back from […]

  • I Am Zombie, Hear Me Moan

    Yesterday, I faced hordes of zombies and… I came out a zombie myself! I had such high hopes that I could run through the 5 km zombie obstacle course race, otherwise known as Run for Your Lives (in Washington State) and not be eaten, but it turns out that the undead got the better of me. […]

  • VACATION!

    As you read this, I’m somewhere between New Westminster and a field full of zombies. You see, I’m writing today’s blog posting yesterday – er, well, what will be yesterday by the time you read this – and it will be – er, has been –  automagically posted by the magic of the Internets while […]

  • Work-cation

    I am a mere 5 days away from my summer vacation! Which is a really a work-cation ((Credit to Kalev for coining the word “work-cation”.)) because omg, look at all the crap I have to do: Granted, that is my “to do” for school up until October, but just seeing how much is on there […]

  • Montreal

    I can’t believe my trip to Montreal is over already! On Saturday, we started the day with breakfast at Cora’s and then did some more shopping. Did I mention how freaking fashionable everyone in Montreal? We looked at lots of stuff, but didn’t buy a tonne – I only bought a few accessories ((Two pairs […]
