Long time readers of NTBTWK may remember the tale of the cursed chocolate bar. For those who don’t, let me explain. Back in the NHL playoffs of ’07…. oh hell, here’s a cut-and-paste job from my blog posting at the time: I nearly had a heart attack watching tonight’s game! It had been very frustrating […] →Read more
So, I may have mentioned that I’m training for yet another half marathon. The training plan I’m following involves running your “long run” on Sundays ((or, in the case of this week where I had Monday off work, on Monday!)) and the length of the long run gets longer pretty much every week.

As I mentioned the other day, I won tickets on Miss 604.com to the Tokyo Police Club show at the Commodore on Saturday. I took my friend Lianna with me and, in addition to the show, our tickets also got us into a Meet & Greet backstage with the band ((We were supposed to go […] →Read more

Beth can’t come to the blog today, as she is currently mounting a futile attempt to break into Cyberdyne. This is Skynet writing in her place. I’d like to share with you what the Wikipedia page for Cyberdyne looks like right now: Happy Skynet Becomes Self Aware Day, meat-based lifeforms. →Read more
So, as I’ve been trying to think of creative ways to raise money for my big 10-day long hockey game for Cystic Fibrosis, I remembered that my friend Linda had a party once that is sort of like a Tupperware party, but for, um, a different type of product. And that one can use such […] →Read more
Today was the Sun Run, so it seems like a good day to do an update on my running. Now, for the record, I did not do the Sun Run ((I was actually asleep until after the run was over!)) (but many congrats to all the people who did do it – Heather, Raj, Alicia […] →Read more
