The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
Saw this at Starbucks today: A piece of banana chocolate chip cake is “only” 270 Calories? That’s kind of a lot of calories. And that’s “guilt free”?? Actually, wait a sec… if they meant to say that the cake was free of guilt, it should have been hyphenated: guilt-free. So they *must* mean that the […] →Read more
So, yeah, I’m still paying off those damn student loans. But student loans aren’t what I’m bitching about today. Today I’m bitching about the Royal Bank. As I’ve mentioned previously, I keep a separate bank account where a portion of my paycheque goes every month, which is used to make my student loan payments. I […] →Read more
So yesterday I was out for a run and, as I mentioned yesterday, I’m using an iPhone app that tracks my pace. The first few times I did it, I was constantly checking my iPhone because I didn’t really have a good sense of how fast I needed to be running. Now that I’ve done […] →Read more
After the half marathon last month, Alicia and I had a chat about our next one – the Royal Victoria in October. Alicia really wants to train to improve our time on the race (as opposed to our usual “we are happy to just finish the race”). At first, I was torn. On the one […] →Read more

Today was free Slurpee Day.

But it wasn’t my fault. I was out for a run and discovered that there is […] →Read more

In my quest to bake things I’ve never baked before, I decided to try my hand at making granola (plus, I’d run out of granola). I found a recipe from the internets, though I replaced the pecans and walnuts (which I don’t really like) with peanuts and coconut, and I threw in some flaxseeds too. […] →Read more
I’ve made no secret of the fact that, despite living and working in one, I hate suburbs. But yesterday I found one thing that I can truly say is better about the ‘burbs. Impossibly inexpensive estheticians. Seriously. I just did a quick Google search that tells me that the price of eyebrow threading in Vancouver […] →Read more
Once upon a time, a bright eyed young graduate student, in search of a better way to procrastinate, decided to start a blog. She called it “Thesis Writing is Hell” and her early blog postings were all about her thesis and thus, really never meant for anyone to read. Pretty soon, however, she ventured out […] →Read more
