Remember back in May when I said I was going to find a nice 5 or 10K race to run in (after watching the Vancouver Marathon and feeling like a total slacker)? As I footnotedly predicted, that idea didn’t last too long. But the idea has re-surfaced! Danielle told me about the “Run for the […]
Remember when I said that guys don’t hit on you on public transportation here in Vancouver like they do in Toronto? Well, we can scratch that off the list of differences between here and there. I was transferring from one bus to another yesterday morning and this guy totally starts chatting me up. He’s all […]
Due to popular request*, I have updated my Blogger profile. I’m not sure I’ll stick with this pic for any length of time, but I just found that I had this one and thought I’d throw it up there for a bit. It’s from when I gave an address at the banquet at the Let’s […]
Check out what I got to pick up today (click on the pic to enlarge it): Now you don’t have to take my word for it that I’ve completed my PhD – I actually have proof! 100 points to the first person who emails me a Photoshopped version of this letter saying that they have […]
OK, so when I started writing my blog posting yesterday, there were two things I meant to write about that I totally didn’t include. I think it may have been because I was multi-tasking (read: trying to chat with too many people at the same time as writing my blog). Or perhaps I was just […]
While not as slapstick hilarious as Weekend at Bernie’s, I enjoyed a lovely long weekend at Rachel’s. We went with some other friends to the Royal on Saturday night – we had been on the guest list at Plaza, but apparently you can only get into Plaza if you are on the guest list, which […]
What would possibly possess someone to chat up a girl who is innocently walking by the house they are working on, ask for her number, call her, ask her to go out the next day*, give her their phone number and say “Call me tomorrow and we’ll figure out what we want to do,” and […]
So, I think I could get used to this whole being unemployed thing… if only the pay was better. The other day I was just chillaxin’ at a coffee shop on Dunbar, reading a book and drinking my coffee and it turned out that the guy at the next table was a local radio talk […]
This might just be the coolest photo* I’ve ever seen: Props to Rick for sending this to me (and for appreciating that I would appreciate it). *Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Necromouse12hd.jpg (Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License)
Well, the paperwork has all been filed, the forms filled out in triplicate. I’ve dotted all the t’s and crossed all the i’s. My thesis has been submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies! I have officially, 100% completed my Ph.D. I am officially, for the first time in 24 years, not a student! I […]
