The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
Alternative title for this blog posting: I love my brain. About 7 weeks ago, my hockey team’s goalie was knocked out of the season with a grade 2 concussion. A few months ago my coworker’s father died after having hit his head on the ice during a hockey practice that he was coaching. And just […] →Read more
We won our hockey playoffs this weekend! Not only that, but we *swept* the playoffs – winning all four of our games! Not only that, but we faced off against our arch nemesis team in the final and we won! 1-0. On a shorthanded goal. No really. We’d finished third out of four teams during […] →Read more
… just like cancer or heart disease and it should be treated as such. So says the British Columbia Medical Association (BCMA), who are calling on the provincial government to recognize that addiction is a chronic disease and that it should be funded as such, as reported in a Vancouver Sun cover story today.

So I finally got around to getting a new watch. I wanted to get a watch that was different from my last watch, since that watch, as you may recall, fell apart. However, as it turns out, the only women’s watch I could find that includes the interval timer feature is… you guessed it, the […] →Read more
This past week, we played our one and only playoff game in the UBC Rec league. Playoffs were by elimination and, well, we were eliminated. Given that we only lost 7-2 – and we’d previously been beaten by the same team 10-0, 17-2 and 14-2 – we considered it a moral victory. Tonight is the […] →Read more
Today was a baby shower1 for my friends Clayton & Jodelene’s baby. This is what I got for him: I <3 baby clothes with Canucks logos on them. So. Cute. 1Or, as I like to call it, baby warming party. →Read more
People who correct you on totally inconsequential matters. Like when I went into Tim Horton’s and ordered a “multi-grain” bagel. The cashier gives me a look of confusion and then says, with a tone of superiority in her voice “You want a 12 GRAIN bagel?” Yes, 12 is many, multi, lots of different grains. Honestly, […] →Read more
A LOLcats references and hating on Internet Explorer… together at last! http://icanhazrealbrowser.com/ Props to Jordan Behan, who tweeted about this awesomest of awesome sites. Also awesome is this cheque seen on the Fail Blog: I especially like that the memo on this cheque says, “What now, bitches?” Also, I conferred with my Official Statistician and […] →Read more
