I just registered for the Vancouver International (half) Marathon! I can’t believe I’m actually going through with this!!! I must be crazy!!! Training is becoming more challenging because (a) now that I have a job, I have a lot less time* for things like running and (b) my long runs are becoming, well, really long. […]
I think that “clusterfuck” is a seriously underutilized word. I propose we use the word “clusterfuck” far more often in daily life. Like, “this traffic is a real clusterfuck” or “My student loans are one clusterfuck of a situation” or “Fucksocks, that’s one hell of a clusterfuck.”
I did my 16K run on Tuesday, because I really didn’t feel up to it on Sunday, and I had a late work day, followed by a dinner meeting, on Monday. I have been ravenously hungry since Tuesday. I feel like I’ve done nothing but eat since then. Speaking of eating, a friend of Danielle’s […]
Now that I’m gainfully employed, not only do I have to get up before noon, but I also have to wear something other than jeans & a T-shirt or my PJs. And since I have this complex wherein I believe that no one will take me seriously because I’m so short, I dress up in […]
There’s a lot of pressure that comes with having a Ph.D. People expect you to know stuff. And they expect that you won’t go around doing stupid things. Unfortunately, I have a tendency to do airheaded things… often. For example, I discovered yesterday that I had made a pot of tea the day before and […]

So I went to the bank yesterday to find out what I need to do to start paying back my student loans, as apparently they expect you to pay those back. Half of mine are with the Royal Bank and the other half are with the government, as the government took over lending out money […]
Dave from Touch You Last has returned from his lengthy, unexplained absence from the blogosphere, bringing with him his latest find: Sucks/Rocks. Now, don’t be confused like I was when I first read that title… I thought it was a site about things that “Suck Rocks.” In fact, determines if something “sucks” OR “rocks.” Dave’s […]
I’m going to the “Think & Drink Green” beer garden tonight. It’s combining the joy that is drinking green beer for St. Paddy’s Day with raising awareness about sustainability. And I think they are raising money for something. However, much to my chagrin, I have discovered that I have *nothing* green to wear! What kind […]
How, exactly, am I supposed to read my book, make notes on my Palm Pilot AND hold onto my coffee cup at the same time while riding on the bus? I’ve been told before that I have octopus-like proficiency when it comes to such multitasking, but even I have my limits.
