The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
In addition to PowerGels, I’ve now added Sharkies – fruit chew thingys that are shaped like sharks – to my half marathon training regimen. Like PowerGels, Sharkies are meant to replace electrolytes and provide carbs for when you do crazy thinks like run for hours or play hockey for days. Unlike PowerGels, Sharkies are delicious, […] →Read more
Can you believe that it’s only 100 days until the puck drops for the Longest Game of Ice Hockey? It seems like only days ago I signed on to play hockey for 10 days straight (eek!) and now here it is, a mere 2,400 hours until 39 women and I step onto the ice to […] →Read more
For a while now, I’ve seen photos of Dan and Rick planking. And while I’ve always thought they were pretty cool, I’d never actually planked myself. That is, until yesterday. Now that I’ve thoroughly confused you, let me start at the beginning. That being: what the hell is planking?? For the uninitiated, planking is where […] →Read more
I can’t believe I forgot my own car-iversary! It was two years ago yesterday that I brought my bouncing baby Smart car home from the dealership. My car: Clearly, I’m compensating for my giant IQ. Happy car-iversary, Zaphod Beeblebrox the Car! →Read more
There was a public memorial for Derek today at the Granville Island Stage. It was beautiful and touching, with people from all aspects of his life saying a few words, talking about what Derek meant to them, telling stories of what they remember, and his band played. Some member of The Odds, who Derek knew, […] →Read more
So it’s Northern Voice time again! The conference just opened and Travis did a very touching tribute to Derek. I mentioned in a previous post that my first introduction to Derek was at Northern Voice 2007, when the whole crowd was asked to yell “Hi Derek!” which was videotaped for him, as he couldn’t make […] →Read more
Darren Facebooked earlier today about his disappointment at seeing Canucks-branded bottled water in stores recently – you know, given that bottled water is a “lousy, wasteful product,” (or, as I like to say – bottled water is bullshit). Just the other day I’d been in Save-on-Foods and saw the exact product he was talking about […] →Read more
OK, maybe you can. But you shouldn’t, really. As you know, I’m currently raising money for Cystic Fibrosis Canada as part of the Longest Game of Hockey for CF. (Speaking of which, have you donated yet?) Well, in addition to asking all y’all to donate, my friend Kim, who has decided to join me in […] →Read more
My calves are yet again displeased with me. Ever since I ran the 8 km race two weekends ago, they have been super duper tight. And I woke up with a charley horse in my calf at about 4:30 this morning ((Do. Not. Like.)). After my long run on Saturday, I had a massage. I […] →Read more
So tonight the Canucks won game #6 of their second playoff round, eliminating the Nashville Predators ((I think everyone can agree that it is a mercy that Shea Weber can now shave off that horrible, horrible beard! His beard is so out of control, in fact, that it had its own Facebook page!)) and advancing […] →Read more
