The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
Or should I say, the 11 bars and *barf*. Being that this was my 5th years of 12 Bars, I decided to do something special. Like puking at Coppertank. Because I’m classy like that. But I’m getting ahead of myself! The very first year that I went to 12 Bars, I managed to drink a […] →Read more
I’m all dressed up in my Christmas finest ((which I would totally post a photo of if I could only figure out how to add a photo to my blog posting through the WordPress app on my iPhone)), have stowed my car safely at Linda’s place ((where I’m staying tonight, as I figured that after […] →Read more
My friend Mike was on BoingBoing the other day, in the form of his TedxUBC talk about Universities Allied for Essential Medicines. BoingBoing, people! I’m pretty sure this makes me one degree away from famous. UAEM is a nonprofit that focuses on ensuring access to medicine and public health technologies for poor nations. Check out […] →Read more
When there is a slow driver impeding my progress in the fast lane ((why do people insist on driving slowly in the fast lane? I mean, what do they get out of it? Surely they must get something out of it, since they do it ALL. THE. TIME.)), I wave my hand and say in […] →Read more
A couple of weeks ago Dr. Dan invited me to beta test a site that a friend of his created. I’ve been *dying* to tell all y’all about it (mostly because I’m usually the last person to hear about anything and it’s fun to be among the first), but I was sworn to secrecy until […] →Read more
I can’t believe it’s already the end of November! Only 24 shopping days left until Christmas! Only 12 days until I leave for Ontario! Only 8 working days left in 2010 for me ((for my day job – I also have teaching (including marking) left to do). Though I feel like I have about two […] →Read more
Remember last year when I complained about how difficult it was to sneak my Secret Santa presents into my Secret Santa recipient’s office at work? It must have taken me a dozen tries to get to her office undetected, get in, drop off her present and get out without being spotted. And since my office’s […] →Read more
In addition to the chili peppers, I decided that my Christmas tree needed one more thing, which I made this weekend: The Flying Spaghetti Monster now graces my tree. May he touch you with his noodly appendage this Holiday season. →Read more
I came up with a solution to my insufficient-supply-of-Christmas-tree-ornaments problem. And it allows me to cross something off my 101 in 1001 list to boot! That solution: chili peppers. When I was in Mexico for Christmas 2008, there was a Christmas tree that was decorated entirely with chili peppers. I love love loved that tree! […] →Read more
So I *finally* got my marking done, which meant I was allowed ((where by “allowed” I mean, I allowed myself to put it up. It was my reward to motivate me to finish my marking.)) to put up my Christmas tree! I actually finished my marking earlier this week, but I was in Vancouver for […] →Read more
