The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
The title of this blog posting was going to be “You sound like a bitter crazy woman!” Which might have been what a friend of mine said to me on the phone last night. In my defence, she’d been asking about a recent date that I had and since dating sucks, how else was I […] →Read more
So I’m on the ferry heading back to the mainland from my weekend in Nanaimo. The boat claims it has wifi, but I can’t appear to connect to it. Ferry FAIL. Another thing this ferry lacks: hotties. Double FAIL. At any rate, I’m writing this tiny posting on my iPhone in the WordPress app so […] →Read more
I had such grand plans to go for a run today after giving my guest lecture. My lecture went just smashingly ((Rachel’s students = tres awesome. I’ve already asked to come back and give this guest lecture again next year!)) and since I had a few hours to kill while Rachel taught for the rest […] →Read more
And so the blogging streak of 2011 ends, a mere 42 days into the year. I blame BC Ferries for not having wifi on the Queen of Alberni. And then I blame the fine glass of wine that was waiting for me when I got to Rachel’s place, which put all thoughts of blogging out […] →Read more
There’s a building that I often have to go to for meetings at work and in this building there is a room that, though I’ve never had a meeting in it, always catches my eye when I walk by. The Warew Room ((In case you are wondering why I felt the need to point to […] →Read more

So I’ve been meaning since forever ago to write a blog posting about the Sleep Cycle iPhone app. It’s a free app ((and you know how I feel about free stuff)) that tracks your sleeping patterns ((by using your iPhone’s accelerometer to sense your movements as you sleep)) and then works as an alarm to […] →Read more
Cilantro is one of those things that either you love or you hate. And thanks to my friend Dr. Jen, I now know why! On our weekly Seawall walk on Saturday, Jen informed me that apparently there is a genetic difference between people like she and I, to whom cilantro tastes like pure freshness, and […] →Read more
So, being a single person, I don’t often go to Costco. I mean how can a single person really eat a Costco-sized amount of anything on their own? But most of the people I work with have families, so I’m always hearing about all the awesome things they get at Costco. Like hummus that is […] →Read more
A new bottle of air freshener appeared in the bathroom at work this week: 99.9% natural? Now I’m dying to know what the other 0.1% is! Also, I noticed that the label featured a Canadian flag next to its claim of a very high percentage of naturalness, which immediately made me think of Darren’s new […] →Read more
