The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
I’m back home. As I’m sure you can tell from the obituary I posted last week, my dad’s surgery did not go as planned. The first bad news we got was on the day of the surgery itself, when the surgeon came out of the operation and told us that the tumour that we had […] →Read more

I just invented a new rule. When doing homework, every time I get up from my desk (e.g., to go to the bathroom, to make tea), I have to do 5 pushups. I figure this will deter me from getting up from my homework for frivolous reasons and/or make me do a lot of pushups. […] →Read more
Between that and my Dad’s upcoming surgery, expect posting to be a bit light around these parts! →Read more

I now have 3 assignments and 2 rounds of a business simulation due before the next weekend of classes, two weeks hence. […] →Read more

Economics, according to our good friends at Wikipedia, is “the social science that analyzes the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.” I had to […] →Read more
The neurosurgeon said the nicest word that one can hear when you have a tumour: benign. My dad will get an MRI tomorrow and then they will book a surgery – and I’ll book a flight to be there. From the sounds of it, the surgery will be very long and, well, it’s brain surgery, […] →Read more
My sister called me last night to tell me that something was wrong with my dad. She got him to go to the hospital – no small feat, as my dad is not a big fan of going to see doctors ((Which is a huge understatement – I don’t think my dad has seen a […] →Read more
This past weekend’s pre-core course was about accounting, which means I spent Friday night and all day Saturday and all day Sunday journalizing, posting to ledgers, and making statements of income/owner’s equity and so forth. I can feel your jealousy. I’ve never done *any* accounting before, so this was a pretty steep learning curve. When […] →Read more
