I’m a bit of a Diet Pepsi fanatic¹. So when I saw this product in London Drugs and I just HAD to have it: Let’s take a closer look at that, shall we? That’s right. Diet Pepsi with ginseng. So, it’s like a super healthy drink. And I felt completely invigorated after consuming this product. […] →Read more
Trevor Linden for Prime Minister!
When I was in Vegas last weekend, as we drove by “Wayne Newton Blvd.” on the way to the airport, I said, “I wonder if they will name a street in Vancouver after Trevor Linden?” You see, this season was Trevor’s last in the NHL and with the Canucks not making the playoffs, Vancouver had […] →Read more
Boring note. Nothing to see here.
I am so ridiculously tired. I don’t think that I have recovered from the sleep deprivation that is Las Vegas. But I just wanted to say that this week’s installment of my prime ministerial series was preempted by all the exciting hockey action. And I’m just too freaking busy to write up the next P.M.

Hockey Tournament Recap
This is our goalie, Megs, at dinner on our first night in Vegas. Her shirt (and she had those shirts made up for everyone on the team because she *totally friggin’ rocks*!) pretty much sums up our weekend at the Lady Luck Cup hockey tournament in Las Vegas.

Electronic Devices Hate Me
You know what is totally awesome? Having an shrill, piercing alarm going off for no fewer than SIX HOURS while you are trying to work.

I amuse me
Used my Facebook status to play a little April Fool’s joke this morning: The fact that people use their FB status to announce such things these days made it just believable enough that I actually managed to fool a few friends. Hee hee. →Read more
Fun With Screen Shots
Why does Windows even try to predict how much time is left on your laptop battery? It always fails miserably at it. One minute it will tell you that you have 1 hour of battery life left and 30 seconds later it will tell you have 3 mins. Then it’s 2 hrs and 45 mins. […] →Read more
P.M.#8: The one you can thank when you do your income taxes this month
