Why Couldn’t It Have Been Gummy Octopi?

I was in Shopper’s Drug Mart earlier today and saw gummy tarantulas.  Seriously. A big clear plastic tub filled with 8 legged gummies, complete with cartoony looking spiders on the label.  I wanted to take a picture of it to put on my blog to say “This freaks me out!” But I couldn’t do it.

Cred in the tubes of the Internets, if you will. I was featured today as a Geek Girl Blogger on Spyjournal: →Read more

I love the smell of bac’n in the morning

I wonder if this would work with soy bac’n? No one likes to wake up, especially by an alarm. This clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of Mom cooking breakfast. Unless you’re Jewish. Check it out here. Props to […] →Read more

My BlogHer/Feminism Rant

Wow, I’m like totally the captain of late blogging. BlogHer was like eleventy billion weeks ago and I’m just getting around to blogging my rant. First of all, a picture of all the cards I brought home from BlogHer: I don’t even have time to keep up with the blog feeds that I currently subscribe […] →Read more

Buh bye, sweet Scrabulous

As you know, I heart Scrabulous.  So you can imagine my reaction when I saw this Tweet from J.K. Parker this morning: Sad that Scrabulous is gone from Facebook! 🙁 Tanya sent me a link to this article on the Wired website: The creators of a Scrabble knockoff responsible for countless hours at the online […] →Read more

P.M.#19 – I’ve delayed this posting almost as long as she was Prime Minister

After much delay, I’m finally bringing you the latest installment of my Prime Ministerial series. In fairness, I was on vacation for both three Sundays ago (Sun Peaks) and two Sundays ago (San Fran) and this past Sunday (i.e., yesterday) was hockey playoffs. It’s summertime, so one must expect some delays and disruptions. But now, […] →Read more

Hockey Highlights

Highlight of the playoffs:  Amy scoring with 4.3 seconds left in overtime to win our last playoff game today.  4.3 seconds!! Lowlight of the playoffs: Discovering that some guy from whatever team was in our dressing room before us had taken a dump in the shower.  Seriously. Now there is about a month off (during […] →Read more

Shout Out to the Blogathoners

I’m in between hockey playoff games – we won our game this morning against the last place team1 by a score of 13-12, but this evening we play the second place team, so we are going to have to work our butts off to have a chance at this one – so I will make […] →Read more

I heart my new keyboard redux

Leave it to my blog readers to keep me honest. I totally phoned in yesterday’s blog entry by not including a photo. In Dave‘s words: Whyfor no picture? I’ve seen pictures of all the outfits and shoes you’ve worn since 1984 but no keyboard picture. Whyfor? Far be it from me to deny my blog […] →Read more

I heart my new keyboard!

I’m typing this on my beloved Hermione1. On the bus. And not on the itty bitty Palm Treo keyboard. But on a full-sized2 wireless keyboard. I’ve been wanting one since… well, since I got Hermione, really. I had one for my old Palm Pilot but it was the kind that you plugged the Palm Pilot […] →Read more
