4 intrepid young women. Drive 230 km. To buy 7 pairs of shoes. 50 points to the first person who correctly identifies which 2 of these are mine. 1for a recounting of what happens in Seattle when I don’t avoid the 151, see here.
Friday, as I got onto the bus that would take me to my softball game, the bus driver said, “Nice shirt. Why are so many people wearing Canucks shirts today?” “Because Alain Vigneault won the coach of the year!” I replied. I have no idea if this is why other people were wearing their ‘nucks […]
Why is the plural of “practicum” not “practica”? Why can you say that someone was “nonchalant”, but you can’t say that someone did something in a “chalant” manner? Why, no matter how many times I look up the definitions, can I *never* remember what “hegemony” and “heuristic” mean? How long can I continue to use […]
I was talking to my sister today and she was telling me about how she really wants an iPhone, but she is hestitant to get one when they come out since she is “dropper of all things valuable.” I think this trait must be genetic, because I am also a DoATV. I drop my iPod […]
Well, it took 11 days, but someone *finally* contacted me via my new cellie and uttered the magic works: Thirteenth Step Rocks! And so, Jody wins 100 points! Yay Jody!

Sex is a biological construct – based on our genes/hormones/anatomy/physiology, we are classified as “male” or “female,” […]
Is it wrong for me to love an inanimate object? I’m standing at a bus stop, secure in the knowledge that my bus will be here soon because now I, like everyone else, can call Translink’s automated system and find out when the next bus is coming. I stand here, pecking away at my little […]
So, after several phone calls with accompanying freakouts, I finally got the cell phone deal that I was promised. Rather ridiculous that one needs to do that, but hey, I finally got what I wanted by having temper tantrums. That’s a good life lesson, isn’t it? Notably, no one has yet phoned me on my […]
First of all, I’d just like to say that I’m sitting out in the sun, literally dripping with sweat, feeding my internet addiction via wireless and drastically increasing my risk of skin cancer. I love having Fridays off! And speaking of Fridays off… I tend to pack my Fridays full of errands and meetings and […]
