Given how many cardboard boxes must be used every day to ship all the things that get shipped, you would expect it to be really easy to get your hands on those boxes. I’m finding out, however, that this is not the case. I went to two liquor stores, a grocery store, a hardware store, […]

Props, again, to Kalev, for sharing this one with me.
I was quite excited when I first heard that Malcolm Gladwell had a new book out.

Just be thankful I’m not writing about my new iPhone yet again! This is the longest my nails have ever, ever been ((When […]
So. iPhone. I gots me one. And I named her Bellatrix: Telus started selling iPhones yesterday, but their system crashed so they couldn’t *actually* sell the damn things. Also, I had to throw a fit and threaten to jump ship to Rogers or Bell because Telus didn’t want to give me the promo price on […]
