The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
So I’m leaving the theatre after watching a sneak preview of Young People Fucking1 with Kalev2 yesterday and I feel the heel of my super sexy boots slide right out from under me.

Pearson’s wife] Maryon is one of the most interesting of the Canadian prime ministerial wives.” Apparently she was known for such barbed comments as “Behind every successful […] →Read more
Today we had a grant application due for a grant we’ve been working on for the last eleventy billion years. Finishes touches were put on it over the weekend and today it just needed one last read through and then to be photocopied and picked up by the courier. Last night I had a dream […] →Read more
That would be another goal for Dr. Beth! Although not a game winner this time, tonight’s goal was scored from “the doctor’s office.” But this time, I lifted the puck up off the ice! One might even call the motion used to put the puck in the net an actual “shot” (as opposed to my […] →Read more
