The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
So it’s time for the 17th installment in my series on the Premiers of the Province of British Columbia. And I have to tell you, this week’s entry, just like last week’s, is boring with a capital BORING. You probably shouldn’t waste your time reading it. (Hopefully we’ll be getting to Wacky Bennett soon!) Name […] →Read more
So Blog Grader is a website that, as the name suggests, grades your blog. And I scored a 51%. What does this mean? I have no idea, because I can’t find *anything* on their website that tells me what the score actually means1. What I did find quite interesting was that: (a) there are 3,651 […] →Read more
So there’s this contest going on over at http://www.portocupecoy.com. You write a blog posting or tweet about why you need a Porto Cupecoy vacation. And then they enter you into a draw for a Porto Cupecoy vacation. Porto Cupecoy being a marina villa on St. Martin. Which I so need. As I explained in my […] →Read more
Hey, remember how I had a cracked teapot and I was all “I really need a new teapot before this one shatters and covers me in boiling hot tea” and you were all “you are totally going to wait until it shatters before you buy a new teapot, but you’ll be all covered in third […] →Read more
I have callouses on my hands from driving. Seriously. I guess my tender little hands aren’t used to all the friction I’m now getting from holding onto my steering wheel for ~1.5 hr every day. Oh, those heady days of being a bus girl. So, does anyone know where I can buy some driving gloves? […] →Read more
As you may know, 7/11 gives away free Slurpees on July 11 (i.e., 7/11) every year. Which just happens to be my half birthday. Last year, Kalev and I decided to walk around downtown Vancouver, going to as many 7/11s as we could to acquire free frozen sugary goodness. This year, we decided that walking […] →Read more
There is very, very little information available online about the 16th Premier of the Province of British Columbia – William John Bowser! And I’m too lazy to go to the library and read actual books, so today’s entry is a short one! Name William John Bowser Born: December 3, 1867 in Rexton, New Brunswick Died: […] →Read more
Last week I received an invitation from the Canadian Paralympic Committee to attend their July 9, 20091 International Paralympic Day event. Watch world class athletes play wheelchair basketball and tennis on atop a building in downtown Vancouver? “Hells ya!” I said! At the event, I learned that Canada kicks some serious ass at the Paralympics. […] →Read more
I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t blog about the passing of Michael Jackson whose memorial service yesterday is, according to Wikipedia, “being estimated as the largest gathering for a deceased person in world history”. Whatever you may think of him as a person, you have to admit that he was an extraordinarily […] →Read more
I have a really good registered massage therapist, but she’s just not that into me. For a while now, I’ve been going to an RMT in Kitsalano that I really quite like. Unfortunately, I can’t get an appointment with her in the evenings or on the weekends. Apparently, she has “regulars” who book up all […] →Read more
