Going reCAPTCHA-less

I’m conducting an experiment. I’ve noticed that I don’t get very many comments here on ye old blog lately, even though my number of readers hasn’t dropped off and a fair number of people comment on the links to my blog postings that show up on my Facebook page. I also know that the reCAPTCHA […] →Read more

More About My Vacation. Plus 101 Footnotes!

So, we are back from our whirlwind trip to Portland ((Well, technically to Onalaska, WA, Portland, and various other places in Oregon state.)) and are now hanging out on Vancouver Island ((After a very poorly planned attempt to take the ferry from Ancortes to Vancouver Island.)), ((Instead, we had to drive through the Peace Arch […] →Read more

Planning is apparently not for suckers

I’m blogging this from my phone, because we’ve spent all day traveling and are just now on the ferry to Vancouver Island, having driven back from Portland all day. Word to the wise though: If you ever get the bright idea to take, say, the Anacortes Ferry to Vancouver Island on the way back from […] →Read more

I Am Zombie, Hear Me Moan

Yesterday, I faced hordes of zombies and… I came out a zombie myself! I had such high hopes that I could run through the 5 km zombie obstacle course race, otherwise known as Run for Your Lives (in Washington State) and not be eaten, but it turns out that the undead got the better of me.

Last weekend, I got to star in a photoshoot. I needed to get a headshot done for a super secret project that I’m not yet ready to blog about ((But I will be able to fairly soon, so stay tuned!)). One of my classmates recommended Vivian of www.vivsphotography.com and I have to say: best. recommendation. ever! […] →Read more

Sunny With A Chance of Braaaaaains!

So I checked the forecast for this weekend, and apparently it’s going to be hotter than hell at the zombie race this weekend: 38 degrees??? That’s insanity! The zombies won’t have a chance to eat me – I’m going to die of heat stroke first! In preparation for the upcoming zombie-eating-Beth fest, I decided to […] →Read more

August Challenge

By Odin’s beard, how is it August? I mean, really, people. I’m sure it was January about two weeks ago, and now it’s freaking August. Gah! On the plus side, August means two weeks of vacation-y goodness ((With a side of homework.))! But it also means I’m just 5.5 weeks away from being back in […] →Read more

Fact Check, Much?

So I was reading an article on the CBC website the other day and I noticed something curious: Now, unless the 2nd Canadian on death row was executed between the time that the first sentence was written and the time the photo caption was written, one of the two statements I’ve highlighted has to be […] →Read more

Work-cation

I am a mere 5 days away from my summer vacation! Which is a really a work-cation ((Credit to Kalev for coining the word “work-cation”.)) because omg, look at all the crap I have to do: Granted, that is my “to do” for school up until October, but just seeing how much is on there […] →Read more
