Why Did No One Tell Me That Jeff Tambellini Is Such a Hottie??

As you know, I like me some hockey players. Especially if they are hotties. And especially especially if they play for the Vancouver Canucks. Which is why I am so stunned to have discovered that there is a hottie Canuck that has slipped beneath my radar! As long time readers may recall, I have a […] →Read more

Teleconference Yoga. It’s the lastest craze… in my office.

So I’m taking this bioethics course ((At the end, I’ll be able to do ethics consultations for our portfolio. Case #1: Is it ethical for me lord my ethics expertise over you?)) at work ((There I go talking about work again. What is wrong with me??)), which involves a 1.5 hr teleconference almost every week […] →Read more

This and That

I have a whole bunch of things to say, but nothing that’s worth an entire blog posting. Hence, I give you this bulleted list ((who doesn’t love a bulleted list? Hitler, that’s who)): I went out for a run after work for the first time in about a gajillion years. Seeing as I’m claiming that […] →Read more

I Am An Evaluation Groupie

When people ask me what my blog is about, I usually say, “It’s about everything except work.” Well, today I’m breaking that rule ((I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: It’s my blog and I’ll prevaricate if I want to.)) because I just *have* to show you this: Yesterday I went to an […] →Read more

Check Out What I Won

In what I consider a hilarious juxtaposition with yesterday’s blog posting, I have to tell you about the prize that I’ve won. I’m a big fan of entering contests. Thanks to weekly contests at Videomatica and the Georgia Straight, I’ve probably seen more movies via free passes to sneak previews than I have actually paid […] →Read more

I Needed A Screw

Inexplicably, a screw went missing in my kitchen. One of the cupboards in my kitchen has a jointed door, because it’s the door for the cupboard in the corner. I’m probably not explaining that right, so I’ll show you this picture, what with pictures being worth a thousand words and all: So, yeah, that cupboard. […] →Read more

My Dissertation Haiku

Three days ago, Darren pointed out this site to me: Dissertation Haiku. On this site, people write a single haiku that summarizes their PhD dissertation.  Since then, I’ve been trying to write a haiku to summarize my dissertation and failing miserably. As it turns out, I suck at haikus. So I did what any self-respecting […] →Read more

Can someone please remind me to stop doing so much stuff?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there are just not nearly enough hours in the day to get done all the things I want to get done. Let alone to get in anything even resembling relaxation! It seems like every weekend I tell myself that I’m going to just spend a chill […] →Read more

My Lucky Chin Strap

At my hockey game tonight, I learned that I’ve been playing without a chin strap on my helmet. Like, for my entire hockey playing career. Now, when it comes to hockey gear, I’m usually the safety queen. I’m the one who guilts and/or scares the other players into wearing neck guards with graphic descriptions of […] →Read more

Bottled Water Is Bullshit

I don’t think they are doing this intentionally, but doesn’t this ad kind of point out how bullshit buying bottled water is? →Read more
