I bought my first ever Groupon ((FYI, that Groupon link contains my personalized code so that if you click on that link and then sign up for Groupon, I get $10. So you should probably click that link ‘cuz I could totally use $10.)) this past week. Every day I check out what the new Groupon […] →Read more
Lance, Kim & Beth at the Lions game. Image by Beth77 via Flickr Crossed another item off my 101 things to do in 1001 days list: #45: Go to a BC Lions game! Now, I’m not a huge football fan. When I was a kid, my dad and I were in an NFL football pool […] →Read more
So yesterday was Blasphemy Day and today, apparently, is World Vegetarian Day. If it turns out that tomorrow is International Hockey Player Day, I’m going to declare this Beth Week! So, how does one celebrate World Vegetarian Day? I think you are start by eating a vegetarian… →Read more
I just read on Derek’s blog that today is International Blasphemy Rights Day. I only have half an hour left to celebrate!

I mean, it’s a crime against humanity when I say something like, “You definitely can’t plan a spontaneous orgy” or “You had me at “dirty […] →Read more
Way More Than You Ever Wanted To Know About My Calf Muscles
So I’ve finally resurfaced from beneath the grant application I was working on this week ((seriously, the amount of work that it ended up being was far more than I could have anticipated. There were nights this week that I came home from work at ~4 p.m. then worked until 1 a.m. Not cool.)). The […] →Read more
So the correct answer to this week’s question of “How many pairs of shoes does Dr. Beth own?” is…. *drumroll* 31. And 4 pairs of boots ((well, I guess technically I have 5 pairs of boots if you count my ski boots)). Which makes Kalev, with his guess of 30, the winner and proud owner […] →Read more
Too tired to write in actual sentences. Finally submitted project I was working on during my full workday-length evenings after working full workdays this week. Waiting for sushi which I’m hoping will give me enough brain energy to teach for three hours tonight. Thank the FSM i made awesome slides last year and know this […] →Read more
So, we all know there are some terrible drivers out there and we’ve all seen some pretty asshat moves. But the one I saw today takes the cake. This car was stopped at a red light in the left hand turn lane. Now, I don’t know if the driver didn’t realize it was a left […] →Read more
