By insistent demand special request, I was told in no uncertain terms that I would be thought it would be nice of me to bake some shortbread cookies to send to my sister for the holidays. As it happens, I make the world’s greatest shortbread cookies. From my Great Granny Snow’s recipe. Her *secret* recipe. […]
UBC‘s degree parchments* suck. They print them out on 8.5″ X 11″ paper**. What the hell good is that? Everyone has 8.5″ X 11″ paper — I’ve got a huge package of it sitting right next to my printer! They use a typeface that they think is elegant and apparently don’t feel the need to […]
I just discovered that Googling “Egg McMaster” returns a meager 6 hits. And I just couldn’t let this tragedy continue — now Googling “Egg McMaster” will return 7 hits! Take that, internet! What is an “Egg McMaster,” you ask? It’s a delicious concoction of fried egg & cheese on an English muffin*, served up at […]
Why has Vancouver had 3 power outtages in about as many weeks* (not that any of them have hit my house… yet**)? Why was the power out just on the east side of Dunbar St., but not the west side, meaning that I could go to Starbucks (which I hate), but couldn’t go to Shopper’s […]
I know you’ve all been waiting with baited breath for photos since I said that Kalev won a Turistas shot syringe, so I will keep you in suspense no longer. Step One: pour your delicious beverage* into a receptacle Step Two: suck up your delicious beverage into the syringe. Step Three: smile maniacally for the […]

I’m pretty sure it was because he heard that I had come to my senses and am soooo over Taylor Pyatt, that girlfriend-having, Swiss-Chalet-eating, hat-all-off-kilter-wearing nogoodnik and am now free to be all Marc’s. I predict we will be hearing a lot […]
Apparently it’s party season*. I have four outstanding party invites outstanding at the moment**. This Saturday I have a holiday potluck for the lab in which I used to be an unofficial member/official hanger-on. My mom gave me a holiday recipe magazine when she was here that has some fantastic recipes that will be sure […]
Look, the Vancouver Giants were playing a team named after me: And this was cool – the Giants scored with 0.7 seconds left in the second period: You don’t see that everyday.
So, a while back I promised to blog some more about my graduation ceremony. And since I took soooo many photos during grad, and during my mom & sister’s trip in general (they were here for my grad, plus a few more days after that), I figured I can do a lot less typing if […]
*Sob* Taylor Pyatt is… *sob*…. he’s…. *sob*…. he’s not single!! I heard about this over at the Pink Seats. Which I am never reading again, btw. I’ll just have to console myself with the new boy in town, Jesse Schultz. Jesse was called up from the Manitoba Moose to play in the big league. Jesse […]
